Date: Looking to buy it on my birthday which is at the very beginningWindows of May, just planning ahead.
Budget Range: Around $1000 preferably not much more
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Main use will be for serious games. I want it to replace my current Xbox 360 and in the future I want this to be my gaming system instead of the ps4.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Looked up all of my main parts on new egg but i just want to get the best parts I can for the best price
Location: Lexington, Ky USA
Parts Preferences: Prefer Intel CPU.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future to keep up with the latest games
Your Monitor Resolution: I have a 1080i 60" plasma TV that I plan on using this for.
Like I said I want to be able to use this instead of buying a ps4 this year and I want to run games at least as good as that, at least. I want to get the best price and value of everything while maintaining a good budget and performance for now and the foreseeable future. I don't care where I buy the parts from as long as its reputable, like new egg.
The ones I have a question mark in front of I'm very open to suggestion and not sure at all if that's the best choice, I basically just winged it on those, Lol. The others I researched fairly so I THINK that they will be sufficient but I'm definitely open to suggestion and just want to get the best I can for the money.
