Approximate Purchase Date: One Week
Budget Range: $1000 (+/- 5%) Before Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: CPU: Intel (IB most likely), CASE: Antec Three Hundred Two, SDRAM: 8GB, HDD: 1TB or 500MB, Windows 7 Home Premium
Overclocking: Not required (but might want to be able to experiment)
SLI or Crossfire: Not sure
Monitor Resolution: Dual Monitors (1680x1050 and 1280x1024)
Additional Comments: I've only built one other PC and that was about 3-4 years ago so I'd like to keep the build pretty straight forward (ex. no effects lighting, liquid cooling seems complicated/potentially messy). Not sure if a SSD is warranted, but might be nice if there is money in the budget, otherwise I'd be inclined to put the money towards a better video card. (prob $400 max on GPU)
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
