Currently working towards building a Gaming Computer for a friend of mine.
Approximate Purchase Date: Early to Mid July
Budget Range: 800-900 (May go over for extra parts needed due to TV being the monitor) before rebates/Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: "heavy" Gaming (BF3, Starcraft II, Various other Real Time Strategy Games), Photoshop (Nothing intensive) HD Streaming/Everyday Internet stuff.
Parts Not Required: Monitor, Speakers, Keyboard/Mouse but will take suggestions on a keyboard/mouse (doesn't need to be included w/ build price)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com, Amazon.com, NCIX.com could also be an option
Country: US - Hawaii
Parts Preferences:
Windows 7 Home

Intel i5 2500k
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
HDD, SSD, VGA, PSU, RAM
https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=20648246
Will need a Wireless Adapter
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: Im assuming 1920x1080 unless told otherwise from someone w/ experience
Additional Comments:
Everything in the Wishlist are items suggested to him by others Along with the Processer
Looking for Suggestions/Advice/Revisions to that list/anything that was preferred.
One Thing that may be odd about what may need to be considered is that he'll be using his 32' Vizio (720p From '08-'09) so anything that may need to be added because of this please list.
Also something to consider is that i live in Hawaii so Shipping will not be included in the "Budget", Originally it was a 950-1k Budget but Shipping will be a B***** (If i get everything from Newegg, Shipping went as high as $130 and sadly anything shipped to Hawaii doesn't qualify for Free Shiping Via Newegg/its all 2-Day shipping)
was actually wondering if downgrading the card into a 550/550ti or above then running duals would be better.
