APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: (before Jan 15th 2010) BUDGET RANGE: (500-650) Before rebates
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: (Gaming, internet, high res movies, anime)
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: (keyboard, mouse, video card, Monitor, burner)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: (newegg.com) COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: (usa)
PARTS PREFERENCES: by brand or type (I would like to use an AMD CPU & good mobo with a full tower case)
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe (probably not though)
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe in the future
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1024x768
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:I mainly watch anime/movies and play playstation emulators. I want a computer that will let me play FO3, Oblivion, Dragon Age and newer games
I got a GeForce 9600 GT for cheap a while back but found out my power supply (in my current computer) was too low. So I figure I'll use that until I get sick of it and buy a newer one.
I'm trying to build a computer for the first time. I just want someone who has experience in this stuff to double check my setup and tell me if all the parts are compatible and anything else I should look out for.
