Approximate Purchase Date: Christmas
Budget Range: $1500-1900
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Downloading, MOvies/Music
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. I would lIke my new rig to have dual moniters. I would like at least 24"
Parts to Upgrade: (e.g.: CPU, mobo, RAM) **Include Power Supply Make & Model If Re-using**
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: I Have used Newegg in the past and have had great experiences with them. That being said i am not locked on to one paticular supplier of parts.
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Aurora, Colorado. USA
Parts Preferences: by brand or type: I have in the past roced AMD and have had no issues. However i am aware that intell has made effort to close the gap on AMD
Overclocking: Maybe- Never done it, but open to the idea
SLI or Crossfire: I would rather have 1 decent card than 2 awesome ones, i play CODBO2 on occasion, and i spen the majority of my time playing WoW.
Your Monitor Resolution: Whatever is clever, i would like to get bang for my buck and like i said i would love a dual moniter set up.
Additional Comments: My main goal in all this is to get a system that can crush WoW (not difficult) i would like to be able to have my second moniter running a movie or surfing the net, and i would feel better if i had the ability to get mid range performance playing any new games that come my way. Also Noise is not a concern. SSD would be nice, was thinking 120-250g and a terabyte HD
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I am upgrading cause I have recently returned from Afghanistan and would like to get myself a nice christmas gift.
