Another help thread for sys building! Yay!


1. Are you building this computer yourself or having one built for you?
Myself

2. What is your budget and does that include shipping/taxes?
As low as possible, free shipping is always nice.

3. Where do you live (Please list town, state, and country)?
Southern California, between Los Angeles County and Orange County.

4. What do you need this computer to do (like gaming, Photoshop, and so on)?
Gaming is nice, Photoshop from time to time; this computer is something I plan on leaving on for long periods of time (downloading), so preferably something not power hungry. I don't plan on using this thing to game 24/7, but occasionally I would like to game.

5. What parts will you need for the computer? List what parts specifically, saying you need everything will not do.
Case, motherboard, vid card, ram, two hard drives, one for boot & one for storage, cpu, thermal paste? (haven't done one in so long I've forgotten).

6. Are you reusing any parts for this computer? If so say what parts (make and model).
Yes. Three of them. Maybe 4.

The fourth item is actually an old optical drive I have, but I don't know if I can make it work seeing how it has an IDE slot and the motherboard I picked out doesn't seem to have an IDE.

7. What kind of monitor/resolution do you have or want to get to use for the computer?
As much as this thing can put out.

8. Do you have already have a OS or do you need one? What OS is that?
Windows 7 Ultimate. 32 and 64 bit.

9. 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.
SLI and Crossfire is nice for the future.

10. Any plans to overclock the CPU or GPU?
Absolutely no, as I don't know how to and I don't plan on doing so.

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

I already have a list to make it a little easier... if anyone can put down some input, it would be great! Thank you!

Again, any input would be greatly appreciated. I recently lost my laptop and external hdd so I was considering getting another laptop again, however I was pondering whether it would be more cost effective to go this route and have an upgraded path or headache free with a put-together laptop, and of course a much smaller screen. I'd just figure a regular desktop would be harder to steal if I bolt the sucker down!
