Hey everyone. I'm looking to finally update my computer I bought way back in July 2005.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next month or two
Budget Range: $1,000-$1,500 Before Rebates
System Usage: Gaming, surfing the internet, working on reports for work at home
Parts Not Required: I'll probably need everything including an OS, keyboard, mouse, and monitor. I can wait for speakers to save money. As for the mouse and keyboard, I have the older purple and green connections but I know many newer computer parts either support none of these or have one universal port. With that said, I may be able to save one or the other pending your recommendations.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: No preference
Overclocking: Maybe. I've never overclocked before, but it would probably be nice to have the option available.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe. Starting out with one video card is fine for now; however, I'd like to have the option in case I decide to go this route in the future.
Monitor Resolution: (e.g.: 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200) My current monitor can only go up to 1280x1024 and its older... from 2007 I think. Its time for a new one that could support my new card's capabilities. Are HD-supporting monitors expensive?
Additional Comments: My existing computer is just too old. The newest part in it is the nvidia geforce 6600 video card lol. I would like a computer that can run existing games and has the ability to last me for awhile. Other than that, as I mentioned above, I'll only use it for surfing the web and sometimes for work.
