Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as I comit to the parts I want after taking all of your advice into consideration, and I do very much appreciate any help and advice you may give as its been 6-7 years since I have built a machine.
Budget Range:$1000-$1700
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet,burning pictures, watching movies, maybe recording tv
Do you need to buy OS: Yes Win7 maybe Win8
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:newegg.com , I used PCpartpicker.com to put it all together so the ones they recomend.
Location: Cape Cod Mass USA
Parts Preferences:whatever gets me the best bang for the buck.
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire:No put maybe later on when the card I am buying drops down in price
Your Monitor Resolution: I am using a Sony Bravia 40" 3D LED TV as my monitor
Additional Comments: Will use the pc mostly for MMO's and first person shooters. Also used for backing up pictures from digital cameras. May try to get a cable card tuner and make my PC the media hub for my house.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: my last build is about 6-7 years old with a Q6600 and I am getting divorced and I am getting me something she wouldnt let me
