Dream PC - Doesn't Have to be Pink, Just 1337

simindy · 06-25-2008, 09:33 AM

Hi guys,

I've been searching for a new dream PC, but everything is "eh." I've decided to build my own, something I haven't done since freshman year. Figured I would ask for help on der interwebz.

1. Budget: $1000-$2000

2. Brands: Intel inside plz

3. Multitasking: I am a multitasker - do lots of digital media stuff (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, etc.) and gaming

4. Gaming: Lots of gaming, mostly Steam stuff. Think TF2, Portal, WoW, Spore, COD, Warhammer Online, etc.

5. Calculations: nope - does javascript count?

6. Overclocking: I don't know much about it, so I guess the answer is no, unless I am taught in the future.

7. Storage: I want two drives, one slow and big, one fast and small

8. Legacy Support: nope.

9. Operating System: XP

10. Case: Big enough to fit everything in

11. Accessories: yes plz

12. Recycled Components: nope

13. Monitor: Dual monitor would be ideal, I have a widescreen 22" now, and would like to get another

14. Stores: Anything will do

15. Location: USA

Thanks for the help!
Indy

For a video card you might wanna get one of these
