Hey All,
I know you guys must get sick of people asking you to hand pick PC set-ups for them, but alas I am here to do the same. I used to build my own computers years back, but I haven't dabbled too much in the area for quite a while. I went out and bought a laptop, which i thought i would never do, but it just doesn't cut it for gaming.
As an incentive/reward for your help, if I pick the setup you suggest, I will paypal you $10 upon purchasing the computer!
so here's the copypasta:
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: 1-2 months
Budget Range: PC: 900-1200 (willing to go over, if it makes me happier!) Monitor: 200-300
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video Editing/Gaming/Music/Blu-Ray/Movies/Surfing
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. I'm going to want a full HD widescreen, with the ability to play older games in 4:3 utilitizing letterboxing so as to maintain the aspect ratio without any distortion
Parts to Upgrade: THE WHOLE DAMN THING!
Do you need to buy OS: YES! Windows 7 ~~ whatever ultimate/home/blah blah blah
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg/Amazon!
Location: Los Angeles, CA 90292
Parts Preferences: I love Intel and NVIDIA!
Overclocking: I'm hoping I won't have to!
SLI or Crossfire: If I can afford it!
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Cool, quiet, and powerful. Doesn't have to look like a work of art, but, if the budget allows it Also, I'll be buying speaker separately so a good soundcard would be grand! I forgot to add that I was looking for a 256GB SSD to boot from and install games, and a 1+ TB Hard Drive for file storage!
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I want a desktop! I've been without for quite a while, and I want to start enjoying gaming and the like as much as I used to!
