Approximate Purchase Date: Around DEC-jan
Budget Range: ~850 Before Rebates
System Usage: Gaming,Photo editing,Streaming and downloading.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Preferably a website that offers monthly payments and also going to price match with memory express when able.
Location: Montreal Quebec
Parts Preferences: Intel and Nvidia.
Overclocking:Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Depends if sli would be more beneficial then single card within cost range.
Additional Comments: Common gaming practices mostly rts. Photoshop and a few smaller photo editing programs, Audacity, Will use multiple programs at once especially tabs in Firefox ><
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Currently using a 2000 hp compact. So its pretty much time for a real computer, cant even play command and conquer red alert without it being on low settings... Done using a office computer to play games.
Components:
Cpu=Was thinking along the i5 range, and maybe the i7 if the cash difference is within 50 (specials and such)
MoBo=Dont have a huge preference for type or brand. Id like to have triple channel,as well as a extra pci slot.
Ram=4+Gb and obviously triple channel
Gpu=Nvidia as stated prior. Depending on price/performance and budget limits would one more expensive one be a better deal or would two lower class cards in sli perform better?
Hdd= Due to pricing i dont think a ssd would be in this build,so best 1T-2T/reliability/price
Psu= Best bang for buck was thinking XFX Black Edition 750W
ODD= I know there's cheaper bluray drive combos but its not needed.
Os=Win 7 or go for 8?
Thanks guys, Any questions let me know, im looking forward to hearing suggestions. Been out of the loop for a long time, so forgive me if i didnt do something or left something amiss.
