Approximate Purchase Date: The next week or two
Budget Range: Around $1000~1200
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preference, probably Newegg
Location: California, USA
Parts Preferences: Prefer Intel CPU & NVIDIA GPU
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200; I'd like one of those resolutions
Additional Comments: I'd like to be able to play GW2 and similar games in high settings if possible and would like a relatively future proof system.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My last store-bought desktop tanked and I decided to try and build one myself!
So I was just looking around and just kinda picked high rated items so I'm not positive if everything is compatible or if there will be bottlenecking or whatever, I'm not very good with the details and specifics of parts and the such
I think I would like a CPU cooler as well and I wasn't sure what kind of GPU/brands I wanted but probably around 670 GTX? I think the 670GTX would be able to handle all the games I want to play.
