Approximate Purchase Date: 10/23/12
Budget Range: Around $1000.00 after shipping, not interested in rebates. Going higher or lower is acceptable to an extent.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, movies/browsing/multimedia in general.
Buying a monitor: Nope, already have mine.
Parts to Upgrade: I own a mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor,
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg. I will not purchase from more than one source, as I want next day or two day shipping (don't factor that however into the cost.)
Location: Salt Lake City Utah. I would prefer to do any of this in person to avoid waiting for shipping.
Parts Preferences: Nothing really.
Overclocking: Yes, if it poses no risks for a non-tech savvy. Otherwise no.
SLI or Crossfire: No.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I would really love a nice case with room for a non-tech savvy and LED lighting. I plan to play games like CS, WoW, Dark Souls, Skyrim, BL 2, LoL, etc, on ultra settings. Would prefer 50+fps on ultra if possible. Noise is not an issue, as long as it falls between moderate-quiet, and not screeching loud. I find it relaxing.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I am running a pc prebuilt that has a built in fake gpu, and a meh processor. I can barely run games at 30fps on minimum settings.
Final Note: I don't care if it is a laptop or desktop. Generally, I am more used to desktops. But a laptop is something I wouldn't mind looking into but yeah.
If you can explain your reasoning for each part in your post, I would be extremely appreciative. Even if it seems basic knowledge "The new X runs about the same as Y at a fraction of the price!", I only know a little bit. I would like to understand the general accepted things.
