Approximate Purchase Date: Within the month hopefully, depends on when my *** sells.

Budget Range: $700-$900 as a maximum. I am not sure exactly how much I am getting, so a low end and high end version would be great!

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Internet and YouTube

Are you buying a monitor: No

Do you need to buy OS: Yes, the 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium will do.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg only would be great.

Location: Langhorne, PA.

Parts Preferences: AMD CPU, I also like AMD GPUs, but if you think a NVIDIA is better I don't care.

Overclocking: Maybe, if budget allows.

SLI or Crossfire: No, never going to need it.

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: I would like room for a CPU cooler, like a Hyper 212 EVO. I like lots of case fans to keep everything cool. Also, maybe $75 for a mouse and keyboard will be nice. My old keyboard is starting to get dirty (never eat waffles over it :p) and my mouse seems outdated.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My old PC is just not keeping up, barely playable in new games like BF3, Planetside 2, and such.

I have an Intel i5-3570k build set up for that price, yet I have to make many painful compromises. That's why I want to go AMD, because a buddy of mine has a X4 965 and it still runs games just like it did 2 years ago.

Do you have any AMD builds? Ik most people think Intel I'd the way to go at that price, but for the other components I want to be included, I would need an extra $100-$200. Thts why I want to explore my options.
