[New Build] ~$1400-$1500 Computer First Time

[icewavezero]

Alright, I've been looking around, and here is pretty much what I think is good. Again, first build. Thoughts?

Approximate Purchase Date: Not sure, within a month

Budget Range: ~$1400

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Serious Internet surfing (50+ tabs)

Parts Not Required: Headphones, Mouse, Keyboard

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com, Amazon.com

Country: California, America

Parts Preferences: by brand or type I would like Intel (Needed), and I am probably wrong, but I believe ASUS is the better choice monitor wise? Not sure.

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future

Monitor Resolution: Eh… Idk?

Additional Comments: I want something pretty boss.

Now let's move on to my part selections. I am just starting this out, feel free to adjust.

Revised. So far I have pretty much the final build. Reply by the end of nextweek-ish if you think I should change something.

things to mention

1 make sure you get tthe baracuda with 64mb of cache because its faster
2: both the ud3 or the extreme4 will do you fine
3: you can go with 8gb of ram. you dont need 16gb unless you are video editing
