Long story short, it's that time to build a new Gaming PC. I have a Macbook Pro which I use for work, music, and everything else. So this PC will really only be used for gaming purposes. I would like to have the option to plug it in to my Samsung 40" LCD HDTV with no issues, but it will mostly be plugged into a normal monitor. Other then that I don't really care about bluray, and I want a SSD, usb 3.0, and at least 6gb of ram but more would be nice if I can fit it into my budget.
Anyhow I filled out the survey to get a good idea of what I'm looking for.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming (Starcraft 2, Team Fortress 2, Vindictus, Diablo 3, Old Republic)
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
I prefer to spend $800 or less but I will go up to $1000 if necessary.
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
USA
4. 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, Nvidia if its not to far off from radeon, but either will do
5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor
6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
Yes
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
default
8. What resolution YOU plan on gaming with.
Not sure but I will hook it up to my 40" Samsung LCD 1080p HDTV sometimes.
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
November
Many thanks for those who help me with this build. I've been looking into the Newegg Bundle packs and ibuypower, but looking at all those different options makes me really indecisive.
