Hey,
I've seen many similar threads, but figured I would be much more comfortable buying a PC that's better catered to me personally. I'm a casual gamer, occasional Photoshop user and I listen to a lot of music. I don't think I need anything too powerful, but at the same time, I don't want something that will be useless in a year or two.
Approximate Purchase Date: Doesn't matter/ASAP
Budget Range: I'm not too sure; anywhere between the $700-$1,000, though, I'm sure $1,000 would be overkill.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Games, movies, general computering
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: I don't know. I have a copy of Windows 7, but I think it's only an upgrade disc.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: It doesn't matter. I live near a Tiger Direct, so that makes it easier to buy it in person, but it really doesn't matter.
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Parts Preferences: Honestly, it doesn't really matter.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: I really can't remember any benefits to crossfire apart from having two video cards, so while that's appealing for the future, I don't see any need for it initially.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments:
■I'm not looking for anything too crazy; I'm not a graphics nut and I've been playing on my current PC for years with little problems, I just think it's time to start fresh.
■I want an SSD even if it means that I can't afford to put another drive in. I currently don't have much on my computer and can stick with dropbox or my external for what I need.
■Currently I really only play Starcraft 2, but am interested in branching out to other games - Battlefield 3 will get bought.
■I would like to play on my TV through an HDMI cable - again, graphics aren't too much of a concern as long as they're not awful. I'm not sure the resolution, but it's 47''.
■I would like something that can be upgraded in the future if possible
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My computer is a 4 or 5 year old HP and I think its time has come to an end. The hard drive has been failing and it's becoming slow.
Thanks.
