Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next 2 months, I can wait till November for some parts (Black Friday and my birthday)
Budget Range: 600$ Preferably before rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, homework, internet surfing, animation, programming
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Case(Antec 300), Optical drive, monitor.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Tigerdirect.com or Amazon, I also live 2 hours away from Microcenter
Country of Origin: California, USA
Parts Preferences: I'm open to anything, but I used Asus in my first ever build.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: If I can open it up with this budget, then maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1280x1024
Additional Comments: All I'm really trying to do is build a rig that will run BF3 at mid settings well. I'd also like some help with my Antec 300, it's incredibly noisy and my cable management is horrific, if anyone could point me in the right direction that'd be great. Thanks.
Almost forgot, I need an OS too.
