1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
This PC will replace a laptop I had hooked up to a 42" Panasonic Plasma. We used it to watch movies on Netflix and a little bit of we browsing. Played old emulator games on it too. Laptop is dead, laptop in Sig (I think). Will not be running cable through the PC. Something decently quiet, equal to my Xbox360 or hopefully quieter.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Want to get out the door as cheap as possible, but I want something that will last (laptop died after 2 years). $300-$400 if possible.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
US, Michigan, Farmington Hills, Have access to Microcenter.
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
CPU, Video card, Case, PSU, RAM, Motherboard, Harddrive. Everything to build a tower.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Nothing.
6) Will you be overclocking?
No
7) 7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
1920x1080
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Soon, my GF wants to be able to watch Game of Thrones, so by the 31st.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
I do not know much about smaller Mobos, was hoping to build a small PC since it will be in the living room. Nothing really required here.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Windows 7 Home 64
Thanks!
