Hello Folks,
I would like to build a new computer, with a US$ 1000,00 budget.
I've been with my current (OLD!) system for more than 3 years, so no parts of it will be reused, except the monitor (Samsung T220, a 22" monitor) ...
Any tips from you guys would be appreciated.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE:
1 - 2 months maximum
BUDGET RANGE:
US$ 1000,00
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT:
1) Gaming!
2) Music
3) Internet
PARTS NOT REQUIRED:
I already have a Samsung T220 (22 inches, DVI only, no HDMI), which I like a lot. I do not watch movies in my computer, so the lack of HDMI is not a problem.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS:
newegg.com is OK, but I can use others too.
PARTS PREFERENCES:
Intel i7, and a case that does have enough room for the parts and a good airflow, or support for water cooling.
OVERCLOCKING:
Just a light overclock, I do not want to go to the extremes here
SLI OR CROSSFIRE:
Maybe in the future, but not now
MONITOR RESOLUTION:
1680x1050
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1) SILENCE is important. Not *complete* silence, but I don't want a 747 screaming loud in my room
2) I would like a backlit keyboard, because I prefer to game with lights out (for immersion).
3) A good mouse and a good 2.1 sound system is desired.
4) I would like to be able to perform updates to this system, so upgradeability is also a important factor.
Thanks a lot for your time, patience, and help!
