Approximate Purchase Date: beginning of next month
Budget Range: 400 - 800
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, movies (both blu-ray and dvd), music production, internet
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Country: US
Parts Preferences: none
Overclocking: no
SLI or Crossfire: not sure what these are exactly but I don't think so
Monitor Resolution: as high as possible
Additional Comments: planning to use this computer for pretty much all entertainment purposes, so I want to hook it up to an HDTV via HDMI, as well as to some 5.1 speakers (still need to buy both a tv and speakers, but I'm not worried about these for the purposes of this thread). I'd like to be able to run modern games on as high settings as possible given the budget range.
