Hello ladies and gents, after approximately 7 years I've decided to get new PC. I am open to any suggestions.
Approximate Purchase Date: This month
Budget Range: 1000 - 1100 CAD
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, web browsing, netflix
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, mobo, RAM, GPU, HD.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Memory Express but doesn't have to be.
Location: Winnipeg, MB, Canada
Parts Preferences: No preference.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Planning to re-use PSU - OCZ ZT series 750W (is it even doable???) and CPU cooler - Cooler Master 212 EVO
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Current system is old.
Here are two ideas that I have so far:
