Approximate Purchase Date: sometime within next month/two
Budget Range: 1000-1500 Before Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Internet, movies, music, development (java), vms
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS ( I just need the whole tower)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com / ca, ncix
Country: Canada
Parts Preferences: Intel (i5 / i7 for vms) / Nvidia preferred
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe (Will be running Arch so I doubt it - 2 monitors are enough)
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200
Additional Comments: Speed to me is more important than anything, lots of ram because of VM and SSD hard drive for the OS, I can pick up storage hard drive / reuse from current computer. 32 GB Ram would be a dream but really expensive for 8gb sticks. I know about the new chips and they do not make a difference to me.
Thanks so much
