1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing: Gaming mostly and some school stuff. Games like: Skryim, Call of Duty, FarCry.....things like that.

2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread: Around $900

3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from: USA

4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
We can't be expected to scour the internet on your behalf, chasing down deals in your specific country... Again, help us, help YOU: N/A

5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc: I'm not a fan boy, I just want to make sure everything is compatible.

6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are: N/A

7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds: I think I'd rather run at default speeds.....but you guys know a lot more then I do, so if overclocking won't hurt it to bad I'm ok with that.

8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using: I havn't decided yet...thinking around 1080p

9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Note that it is usually not cost or time effective to choose your build more than a month before you actually plan to be using it: A couple weeks from now.

X. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software: Windows yes.


Thank you ahead of time for any input!

Sooo... basically the same as your first thread minus $100?

The advice remains the same: take mfenn's $1000 build, but this time drop to a 7850 like this one ($170 after $20 rebate and shipping).

You can drop from his recommend PSU to the $35AR Corsair CX430 to save another $40 (or reinvest that $40 into completing the RAM set to get 2x8GB of RAM). You can also, if overclocking isn't your thing, drop to the Intel i5-3470 to save another $15.

I figured as much. A buddy told me to fill out the form anyway just to be safe lol I really liked his $1000 build up.
