Approximate Purchase Date: Next week
Budget Range: $1000 before rebates and shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Browsing internet
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: None
Overclocking: Yes(but I will have to learn)
SLI or Crossfire: I'm open to it
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 (Though I will be using a 19" 1280x1024 monitor for three weeks or so when I can pick up a new monitor)
Additional Comments: I'm terrible at choosing parts, and the way I put this together was by lifting pieces from other builds I've seen posted here over the last few days. Because of that, I'm not really attached to anything and will change it out if necessary. I'll even scrap the whole thing if I have to.
