    1. What is your budget? About €1100 max

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Will be using the computer for predominantly gaming. Some of the latest and greatest ones. Will also be using it for streaming video to my PS3 via PS3 media server. Nothing TOO intensive on the streaming front.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Nope. I have a copy of Windows 8.


    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? Maybe use the DVD RW. Currently have XPS630i. I have 3 HDs in there and would like to keep my new 2TB one and possibly my 640GB one for storage/backup etc

    5. Do you need a monitor? Yes. I have a 1440x900 and would love to upgrade to something a good bit larger, resolution wise anyway.

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. Would like a screen in and around the 22" size. Couldn't really go much bigger.

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future?     [1920x1080/1440x900/etc.] [Yes/No]

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? The only peripheral I'd possibly need is a card reader.

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yes. I've done it before and would probably do it again further down the line to get some more life/juice out of the computer but capability not essential

    8. How can you pay? Can pay by visa, mastercard

    9. When are you purchasing? As soon as possible. Have the money ready to go.

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? I would like for it to be built for me ala HWVS but I am willing to give self assembly a go if needed.

    FYI I'm living in the Essex,UK. Have a G700 mouse, G19 Keyboard and G930 headset (currently going through a Logitech buzz atm)

    I recently bought a new GPU "KFA2 GeForce GTX 660 EX OC 2048MB" which I would like to keep in there. Maybe as a second GPU for PhysX etc if possible.
