To purchase parts between 1-21-2013 to 1-25- 2013.....This coming week....
Budget is set for 2000.00 - 2300.00
gaming, photoshop and video editing, surfing web.
No Monitor needed on this build.
No upgrade, all parts to be purchased will be new.
Will be Purchasing Windows 7 Pro sp1 x64.
All Parts to be purchased from NewEgg.
Will build Computer myself
To be built in Lansing Michigan
Overclocking is a maybe.
SLI or Crossfire is a maybe.
Monitor to be used is my current Monitor 1920 x 1200 on a 27" screen
This machine's most important attribute ... to be as "Future Proof as possible" A machine that can be depended on daily for many years to come. I need it to be almost as fast as lightning if not faster ! All parts must carry a good solid Warranty as long as possible, Be ready to handle the most demanding games that are out now and into the near future.
