Approximate Purchase Date: within the month
Budget Range: $1400 base cost
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, music, storage (videos,pictures,music), web surfing, maybe a little word processing
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, optical drive
I would like to cut costs somewhere or allocate money to other things. I may overclock in the future but not sure. Maybe SLI as well but might just upgrade the card when it gets dull.
