1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming, as well as school homework and general browsing.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$1000 but would love to keep it lower. I threw the $1000 number at her and she said it might be too much.
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
"Merica
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.
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.
Intel and Nvidia. Like Seagate too.
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
I could potentially dismantle her current XPS all in one and re use hard drive and windows. This is last ditch effort though.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Default speeds.
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
Probably 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.
Within the next month. Might take a Microcenter trip Saturday.
X. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
If I need any software it is the OS. Definitely prefer windows 7.
Thanks for the input guys. Every build I look at for her is over budget as the only builds I've done is mine and her brothers and these were well over $1k.
