1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Light Gaming, some AutoCAD, alot of Internet Browsing, Netflix, Dual Monitors, other normal use.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
No more than a grand $1000.00 but trying to limit between 750 to 900
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
USA
4. Buying no parts outside the USA.
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.
I am leaning toward Intel i5 or i7 due to higher benchmarks speeds but AMD has lower prices but crappy benchmark compared to Intel. Sometimes tell me I could get an AMD and save money and put toward a good graphics card but not sure what AMD CPU to buy.
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Asus DVD Burner and 25" Handspree monitor, 500W Raidmax PSU Model No. RX-500S ATX12V (this is a Pentium 4 ps)
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
I might overclock as long as it doesn't cause alot of heat. I probably don't need to overclock but may if the motherboard supports it.
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using? 1440 x 900
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
ASAP
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.
X. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
Windows 7 Home Premium
