1. What is your budget and does that include shipping/taxes?
£1000 - £1500,$1600 - $2300 (Including shipping/taxes)

2. Where do you live (Please list if possible town, state, and country)?
Sheffield/South Yorkshire/England

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

4. What parts will you need for the computer? Please list what parts specifically.
If possible can I get a quote for a PC built from scratch and a quote without the hard drive,disk drive and case.

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

6. What kind of monitor/resolution do you have or want to get to use for the computer?
I currently have and will be recycling a 1680 x 1050, 22" Dell monitor.

7. Do you have a legit OS? If so what OS and is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
Windows Vista 32 bit, If possible I'd like to upgrade to a better OS

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.
I'm not too tech savvy when it comes to the specifics of hardware, hence why I made this thread, pick a motherboard with whatever features you recommend and feel would improve PC gaming.

9. Any plans to overclock the CPU or GPU?
Yes, i'd like to get the most out of my system.

10. What time kind of time frame are you planning on ordering these parts?
Anytime over the next 2 or 3 months. (To clarify this means anytime from tomorrow to September, I'll be grabbin' this PC when I pass my driving test and know that the leftover money wont be used for anything)
