1. What YOUR PC will be used for.
a. Gaming and surfing mostly.
2. Price range
Do not have a set budget. Want to keep price down but need system to last for a few years. Would like to be able to play most of the new games. I guess looking for the best price/performance ratio
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
United States
-NewEgg, microcenter? Have one local.
4. Brand preference
Nothing Really.
5. Any parts being reused.
Will reuse 22" monitor, pioneer dvd writer, keyboard, mouse and speakers
6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
Been trying to go through them but thought might be easier to post.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Probably default at first, maybe overclock down the road.
Here is what I am thinking of so far
Processor:Core 2 Duo E8400
Hard Drive: 500g probably whatever is best price at the time
RAM: Not sure
PSU: Corsair 520HX (overkill? $35 off at newegg now)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 (seemed like pretty good price/performance if p35 is the way to go)
Video Card:Not Sure
Case:Antec p182 The $50 rebate is why I went this one.
Heatsink: not sure
Thanks in advance for the advice
