Well, my PC at my Dad's place is due for an upgrade (AM2+)
Approximate Purchase Date: Near Christmas, but I need a part list now to monitor prices. (Requirement of his)
Budget Range: 400-500, but making him stretch to 650$ is VERY likely.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming on high 1080p
Are you buying a monitor: Nope.
Parts to Upgrade:Everything but the HDDs and ODDs.
Do you need to buy OS: Nope. Reusing my Win 8 retail key. (Old PC is going the path of the Ubuntu HTPC)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Microcenter, Newegg, and any third one. (Can only order from three places, and I live near Microcenter)
Location: Houston, Texas, USA. (His home is far away from my Mom's.)
Parts Preferences: An i5 would be fine. No video editing on my vacations, so getting an 8350 at his place would be a waste. (Haswell, if possible)
Overclocking: Nope. Get me a locked processor/mobo.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 1080p
Additional Comments: A 750w+ PSU that is under 90$.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My PC there is a Phenom II 840 (Rebranded Athlon II) on an AM2+ board with DDR2 RAM and an HD 6570.
