Hello, I'm getting a new PC (I've built them before, just out of touch a little with the current tech and don't want to waste money). Thanks in advance!
Approximate Purchase Date: June 2011
Budget Range: $2000 Canadian Dollars
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, photo editing, video editing, 3D rendering, watching movies (blu-ray drive would be nice but not needed 100%)
Parts Not Required: Mouse (Original Microsoft Sidewinder - It's 3 years old, so it would be nice to get a new one, but not 100% needed) , Speakers, Monitor (21.5" 1920x1080)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: www.tigerdirect.ca, www.newegg.ca, www.memoryexpress.com
Country of Origin: Canada
Parts Preferences: I prefer Intel to AMD, in terms of Nvidia or ATI - whichever performs better, really.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Preferably -> The most performance I can get, really - unless a single gpu > sli/crossfire in that case - go for the single.
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 (Going to upgrade my current second screen (a feeble 1024x768 15") next month to a 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 (So I'll have two screens of similar resolution)
Additional Comments: Honestly, my current one is a few years old (hardware wise - 3-4 years old) and it's time for a new DX11 rig that can play all the games at 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 maxed out. I'd like to use the new iteration of the Coolermaster HAF 932 - http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6269869&Sku=C283-2080 - unless there's a better case.
I'd like at least one SSD in there for the OS for a faster boot, and .. better performance in MMOs (I play (nearly) all genres - everything but sports really)
