Still haven't found what I'm looking for.
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.
I'll be streaming mainly (HMDI out please), and running emulators (NES, GameBoy, etc), DDO maybe (don't judge lol), maybe check out steam and what not.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
I can probably do 500$ all in, rebates are a pain sometimes.
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
Ideally immediately.
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)
Everything, not worried about mouse and keyboard as wireless combos can be had for like 30$, will need OS :( I know that kills budget
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
I live in SW Ontario, Canada. Not much store wise in the area.
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
Will be using my tv as a display.
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
No interest
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
Huh? No special needs
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
Something basic, stylish, will be sitting next to entertainment centre.
Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?
Last OS I used regularly was vista, so I'm ok with whatever.
Extra info or particulars:
Planning on running Kodi, and emulators mainly.
Thanks in advance, if any further questions let me know ill try to answer. Haven't had a PC in over a decade so forgive my ignorance and unfamiliarity with terms and what not.
Edit: there is slight possibility that I could go to Detroit, MI micro centre if the cost is worth it.
