Approximate Purchase Date: Between October 11th and October 17th
Budget Range: $1500 - $2000 before rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Parts Not Required: Mouse, keyboard and OS (I am trying to recover my old mouse and keyboard, but this might not be possible so I am open to any recommendations. I had a Sidewinder X8 and a Merc Stealth and I loved them)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon.com due to taxes (CA resident)
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: by brand or type (e.g.: Intel for CPU and Nvidia for GPU, but I can be convinced otherwise)
Overclocking: Yes (mild, I'm still learning)
SLI or Crossfire: Not yet. I want a single card solution while leaving myself open for SLI later.
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: The goal is to build this rig for BF3, so I can stretch the purchase date a week or so but not by much (no waiting until Q1 2012 for 7xxx series)
