Here's my current thinking. Most parts are being ordered off of newegg, with the exception being a hard drive, which I will be buying at a local store because they have good deals on hard drives for some reason :P
1. What is your budget and does that include shipping/taxes? ~450 dollars (without graphics card, though another 4850 for crossfire would be nice if I could fit it in, such as here: http://www.compuvest.com/Desc.jsp?iid=1731732 ) and it includes shipping/taxes. 2. Where do you live? South-west US 3. What do you need this computer to do (like gaming, Photoshop, and so on)? Gaming, video editing, run a smallish minecraft server (possibly) 4. What parts will you need for the computer? Please list what parts specifically. RAM, MOBO, CPU, HD, PSU. 5. Are you reusing any parts for this computer? If so please say what parts. Yes, and old crappy case (spray painting it, don't really care about looks that much), a DVD drive, and a HD4850 card. 6. What kind of monitor/resolution do you have or want to get to use for the computer? 1280x720-1920x1080 depending on the game. Hopefully 1080 for ps2. 7. Do you have a legit OS? If so what OS and is it 32-bit or 64-bit? Not currently, planned to buy W7 64-bit. 8. What are you looking for the motherboard to have feature wise? Like SLI, Crossfire, Firewire, USB 3.0, Sata 6.0 Gb/s, and so on. Crossfire, Firewire, Sata 6.0 Gb/s. USB 3.0 not necessary but if it's possible why not 9. Any plans to overclock the CPU or GPU? Not particularly. 10. What time kind of time frame are you planning on ordering these parts? About a week. My current build goes as follows: Intel i5-2400 Radeon HD 4850 (512Mb I think) HD: Whatever is a good deal at the time, hopefully 320GB or more. PSU: Coolmax (I know, not the most well-known) ZX-600 80 plus certified Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR3 RAM Biostar H61MGC Mobo Depending on how much I get for it, another possible path would be to sell the 4850 and buy a nVidia 460.
