Hi all! New build time! This time for a friend.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
gaming, skyrim being the current highest taxer
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$1000 max
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.
Any site is fine...newegg for most of it though, but wherever good deals can be found
we are not near a microcenter (I wish we were though)
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.
None, just price/pref
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are. keyboard, mouse, speakers, and a tv for monitor, a monitor will be bought later on a seperate budget.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
he's not a big techie, so I'd say default, but if the budget and build allow it, I can coach him. I also though, in the event of say, an asrock board, we'd have the utility to help him learn as well.
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
1080p, potentially upgrading later, but not planned yet.
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.
1-2 weeks
X. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system? windows, 7 preferred.
Also, he'd like a black case, lights are ok(red) but not required, he does require powerful top exhaust, and preferably intake filters. Also needs a blu-ray drive.
That's all I can think of for now, falling asleep while typing this. :3 so I'll edit/update later if I need to. Thanks and night!
