All,
My monster-in-law has been hounding me to build her a new rig. The last one I built her is probably 6-8 years old.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
She does loads of social media (facebook), email, MS Office, basic video transcoding (for putting video on her portable devices). My kiddos and myself also like to the have the option of gaming while we are there (so a decent GPU would be a plus)
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$1000 including tax and shipping. I could go over a little bit if needed.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Fort Worth, TX (I can drive to Microcenter - Dallas if needed)
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 (boxed with stock cooler), Mobo, PSU, RAM, GPU, SSD (256 GB), Data HDD (2 TB)
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Lian Li mini tower case, CD/DVD burner, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers
6) Will you be overclocking?
No, never
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
1440x900
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Now
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.
Sata 6Gb and USB 3.0 would be nice for futureproofing
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Yes, I have a new Windows 7 64 bit license for the machine.
Thanks in advance for the assistance guys.
