Got my BP claim check today, so it's time to for my new build. Currently using rig that I built in 06.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming and general use, no editing or graphics things
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$1500 US
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
US
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.
Nope, whatever is currently considered to have the edge price/performance wise
5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Keyboard/mouse
6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
Found this a while back, looks pretty solid. mfenn seems to make solid reasonable suggestions, his build looked good here, but it's 6 weeks old......any updates?

7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
I'm open to this, don't know much about overclocking. If it's not too difficult I will.
8. What resolution YOU plan on gaming with.
I've never been a huge monitor guy, looking for best bang for buck in this dept.
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Check is in hand.....so whenever I pick what I want it's getting ordered.
My current rig has lasted 4 years, E6400, Soprano case, 2 gig ram. Current GFX is 9800 GTX. I would like similar lifespan out of new build, the current chips out make this seem easy to attain.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
