First things first, i will not be building it myself, i have no idea how to do it and it would just be too stressful to try. I would just bring in a list of parts to my local computer shop.
I have around $1200 Canadian to spend on a tower, doesn't need to include keyboard and mouse, but needs an OS.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Hopefully before end of summer
BUDGET RANGE: 1200 Max
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Web Browsing, School Work ( word, powerpoint etc.)
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Speakers, Moniter, keyboard, mouse
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Doesnt matter, as long as parts are for a good value
PARTS PREFERENCES: I would like to be able to have a Quad-core, DDR3 Ram(3-4g), and a video card that can last for at least a year. And if possible 32 bit OS
OVERCLOCKING: Yes, if possible
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Not now, but the option to would be great.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Will have to buy a new one, but am looking at 21"
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Dont want glowing cases, this computer will be used by my whole family, along with the 4 year old one i'm using now.
I have some idea what i want on the computer, but have no idea whatsoever which parts would work together, so any help will be much appreciated.
