Buying a new PC [NL]

[MasterCalaelen]

1. What is your budget and does that include shipping/taxes?

I'm looking at a budget of around € 1.000,-, excluding shipping/taxes.

2. Where do you live (Please list if possible town, state, and country)?

The Netherlands

3. What do you need this computer to do (like gaming, Photoshop, and so on)?

Gaming, video editing, graphics work (Photoshop primarily) and watching movies.

4. What parts will you need for the computer? Please list what parts specifically.

Getting a completely new computer, so I'll be needing all the parts.

5. Are you reusing any parts for this computer? If so please say what parts.

Not re-using anything.

6. What kind of monitor/resolution do you have or want to get to use for the computer?

I want a monitor with the highest possible resolution (which is 1900x1200 if I'm not mistaken, not including 2560x1440 monitors which are crazy expensive). I want to spend a maximum of € 350,- on a monitor (preferably closer to € 300,- though) and was thinking of getting a 27". I'm however not sure if 27" monitors are worth getting over a 24" in terms of price/quality.

7. Do you have a legit OS? If so what OS and is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

I'll be needing a new OS, as I'm currently using XP, and want to pick up 7 (or 8 if you think it's worth it).

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.

Not too familiar with some of those things, anything that I would need to properly do what I want to do on my computer would need to be on it.

9. Any plans to overclock the CPU or GPU?

I don't know how to overclock or how safe it is to do, so unless it would save me money or get me a huge performance advantage by doing so, probably not.

10. What time kind of time frame are you planning on ordering these parts?

My current computer is dying rather fast I'm afraid (getting quite some issues with it) so between now and a month from now, give or take.

Website I'd be using would be www.4launch.com (Dutch website) as that's where I got my current computer. Although I'll be looking to compare it with some other places to see what place is cheapest.

I want a DVD-Burner as well as a case with ports at the front (at least 2 USB ports)
