Approximate Purchase Date: (this week)
Budget Range: (e.g.: $900-$1500) Before Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: (must be a stable office computer, then gaming)
Parts Not Required: (e.g.: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: no preference
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: no preference
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: not sure. Will probably be buying 24-27” monitor in next 6 months.
Additional Comments: (I need it to be stable. This is a “work” computer that will be used for gaming as well. I will be running XP or Windows 7. I’d appreciate it if someone could double-check my memory choice. I think these will work (from the threads I’ve been reading), but want to make sure. This is my first home-build, so I’m a bit nervous that I’m forgetting something. Thank you for any help or advice.)
I'm missing an optical drive and a 1TB secondary drive - any simple suggestions here?
