Approximate Purchase Date: Not Purchased Yet/Still In Planning Stage
Budget Range: As close to $1000USD or less as possible
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming @ 1080P/Max Settings/60fps (Mostly Modern FPS Games), Internet Use, Microsoft Office, Other Basic Tasks
Are you buying a monitor: Not yet
Parts to Upgrade: Depends. Need Budget Advice.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Whatever Is Cheapest After Shipping & Rebates; I Just Do NOT Want/Trust Used Parts
Location: West Virginia Country - United States - we need to know where these parts are being assembled and whether there are good store-only deals available
Parts Preferences: Please No AMD/Crossfire. Also, I Just Like High Performance/Quality Parts If Budget Allows i.e. The Best Possible Per Dollar
Overclocking: Highly Likely
SLI or Crossfire: Yes, Dual SLI In The Future
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080@60fps
Additional Comments: Prefer Good Air Flow In Case, Prefer Smaller/Lighter Cases (Nothing Bigger Than Mid Tower), Need Future Proofing, Will Be Adding Second GPU And Two More Sticks Of Identical RAM In Future (Exclude This From Build Cost Of $1000 Or Less), Would Really Love A M.2 With A Second High Storage Drive But Can Get By With Just 1 SSD 500GB+, Prefer High TDP Air Cooler Since They Perform Equal To AIO At A Much Lower Cost, Motherboard Needs High Number Of Power Phases For OC, Don't Need A Bunch Of 3.5" and 2.5" Blocking Airflow, Don't Like Leaving Empty Fan Slots On My Case If There Isn't Enough Fan Headers But Can Use Y-Splitter If Necessary, Case Must Have Positive Pressure (Don't Forget GPU Exhaust), I Don't Like An Uncomfortable Amount Of Noise But I Do Want A Good Amount Of Airflow (CFM), But Trying To Keep Each Fan No More Than 25-30 dBA.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: New PC Gaming Build. Last PC Is A Big Heavy Full Tower And All Parts Are OLD.
