Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: I'm shooting for within a month or two.
Budget Range: About 800$ before shipping.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, GPU, Motherboard (if I need to change to a intel processor) Case and probably a liquid cooling unit for the new CPU. Re-using my 600 watt nameless PSU. I'd also like GPU recommendations to come with HDCP compliance.
Do you need to buy OS: Possibly, I can't tell at the moment wether or not my version of windows is "OEM" or not.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Preferablly Newegg because they seem to have the best prices but I'm alright with Tigerdirect, Amazon, and suggestions of other reliable sites.
Location: Georgia
Parts Preferences: I'd like to shoot for a i5-3570k CPU because I've heard it's currently the best gaming CPU, however, if I can find a AMD CPU with the same power that would keep me from buying a new Motherboard, as mine only goes for a certain pin type, AM3. I don't have a specific prefrence for any other parts though I've never owned an AMD card.
Overclocking: Maybe, slightly scared of risking problems.
SLI or Crossfire: If I have to upgrade the motherboard, it would be nice to have for the future when more power is needed, but not necessary.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050.
Additional Comments: I'm the kind of guy who prefers graphics over gameplay, so I'd like quite a bit of power to run mostly everything on ultra or max staying above 60FPS. Multiple monitors aren't something I'd like to do right now, but surely in the future. I'd also like to have a casing that doesn't look bland, very sleek and neat. I'd also like to know wether or not 6GB of RAM will work for me right now, I'd rather not have to upgrade that too, but I can eventually if need be.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I've been trying to get a decent PC for a very long time now, after dealing with local PC builders, being cheated out of my money from them and never being able to save up enough money for the real big items, I've finally just hunkered down and started saving up enough to buy some new parts. I'd like for this to be my last purchase as you have no idea what kind of headache this has caused for a long while.
--------------------Current Idea for parts are as follows----------------------
GPU: GTX 670 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130787)
CPU: CPU: Intel i5-3570k 4x 3.40 GHZ/6MB L3 Cache
MOBO: ASUS P8Z77-V LK HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Currently both the motherboard and CPU can be bought together on newegg for 60$ off. Graphics card has a 20$ rebate card.
Casing: Anything from the NZXT line of casing.
