1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming, web browsing, general usage.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$300-$400 Shipping and tax included.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
US, Denver, Colorado. There is a microcenter close to me that I would prefer to get the parts from unless they are cheaper elsewhere.
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc.
CPU, RAM, Motherboard, and maybe graphics card if budget allows.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Corsair AX750 PSU, 250GB Intel SSD, Antec P180 and AMD HD 6870(unless budget allows an upgrade)
6) Will you be overclocking?
Small to moderate overclocking, nothing extreme.
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
1680x1050 20.1" NEC 20WMGX2
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
As soon as possible.
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.
Nothing special, just s standard ATX motherboard maybe with moderate OCing ability.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Yes, Windows 7 64bit.
I'm just looking to upgrade my CPU, MB, RAM, and GPU if the budget allows. I was also hoping to take advantage of Microcenter's CPU + MB deal if its cheaper than the alternative. Thanks for the help.
