Hi, I have some parts from my last PC that I had upgraded. My first pass at a build is at the end. Please let me know what you guys think!
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible.
- Gaming mainly, no photoshop or very processor intensive stuff. I don't need to run all games on ultra or anything, but good graphics are important to me in games.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
- Max is $800 for the new stuff, but I want to see if there is anything here that can be trimmed down without losing too much performance.
When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
- In the next week or so
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? OS, peripherals, wifi, in addition to the tower.
- Nothing needed other than tower
Which country will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have a Microcenter?
- US. Have a MicroCenter. Have Amazon Prime.
If reusing any parts (including peripherals), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
- See build below.
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
- No need to overclock.
If there's any specific features you want/need from the rig, please list them.
- I need at least 2x SATA 6Gb/sec, but don't need more. I would like to have 5 or more SATA ports total though.
Do you have any specific case preferences such as a window or LEDs, or do you have a preference for low-noise components?
- Using existing case
Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS?
- Yes, Windows 7 Ultimate. I am building a mini-ITX box as an HTPC soon so If you think I should transfer this license and get Windows 8 or something, let me know, but it shouldn't factor into the cost.
Extra info:
I just bought the SSD in the below build so that should be factored into the price. Everything else that is "Purchased" is coming off the old computer:
