I am building my first computer, I already have a select few parts which I will list at the very bottom. But this computer is being build mostly from scratch.
Approximate Purchase Date: This week or next week. LOnger if need be but I would like it as soon as I could really. (I would not need rush shipping, standard 3 day is fine.)
Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) 900 dollars is my cap after rebates, S&H and everything I do not already own.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, internet browsing.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Parts to Upgrade: Explained below
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com, I know the website but I am open to suggestions
Location: Nashua, New Hampshire, United States of America.
Parts Preferences: I have a prefference for Intel, and Asus/Nvidia Graphics cards
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe (I am not sure what these terms mean...sorry.)
Your Monitor Resolution: I am not to picky as long as it is nice.
Additional Comments: The big things I use are Skyrim (Highest end game), I also play games like Civ 5, and Medieval Total War II, along with Minecraft here and there. Eventually I will probably expand into other games, but as long as the card is good enough to play Skyrim on higher settings with some mods added without a drop in performance (Least not a major drop), then it will be good enough.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current computer is not a gaming Machine and my Framerate on games is terrible, and being that it is a laptop the Graphics card is not upgradable in my model.
Parts I have:
