*****************
Also I don't mind suggestions for prebuilds if anyone reading this has any suggestions for me
*****************
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: 12/10/12
Budget Range: Roughly $500-600
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Burning movies.
Are you buying a monitor: No, I have a brand new Asus VH236H 23" monitor.
Parts to Upgrade: Everything except RAM I have Patriot Viper Xtreme Division 2 DD3 8gb I also don't need any other peripherals like a keyboard / mouse.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, TigerDirect, Amazon.
Location: San Diego, CA, USA
Parts Preferences: Would prefer Intel and Asus. (Unless there's an AMD processor that can compete with Intel and last a few years).
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe depending on if I'll need to at some point to get better graphics for the games I'm going to be playing.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: For the most part I would be using the computer to play WoW, BF3, CS:GO, and so forth. Mostly FPS games on med - high graphics and somewhat future proof.
Upgrading because I've been playing with a laptop for the past 4 years and it would be nice to just have my laptop for school primarily instead of school and gaming.
Thanks for your help!
