1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Mainly for gaming and running virtual Os's. Minimum 16gb ram.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$1200-$1400
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
U.S.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.
Intel and Nvidia. Nvidia mainly because I 've had better luck w/ in the past w/ linux.
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
3 year old - Antec Earthwatts 650W Model: EA-650
5-year old case (Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower)
keyboard/mouse/monitor
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
overclock
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
1920x1080
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.

I've been out of the loop w/ computers for a while now .. If for any reason you believe I should get a newer case/power supply let me know.. The front of the case is usb 2.0 but I'm fine w/ that.
Thanks!
