    1. What is your budget? €300

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Internets and mid level gaming

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? Salvaging PSU, Hard Drives, Case and 2 X 8800GTX's for video

    5. Do you need a monitor? No

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future?[/B] ! is 1680 X 1050 and the second is 1280 X 1024. Both are fine for current needs.

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Negative

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Sure

    8. How can you pay? IN BLOOD! :p Bank, credit card or Paypal are all valid options

    9. When are you purchasing? Soon-ish, want to have it in place before Christmas

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? I can build it myself.

    Sample:
    Item|Price
    Special item: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3, Intel Z68, ATX|€111.66
    8GB G.Skill RipJaws-X PC3-12800U CL10|€32.10
    Intel Core i3-3240 Box, LGA1155|€130.80
    Shipping|€18.99
    Total|€293.55

    Not specifically tied to Intel, but they're obviously the better choice atm, but I would really like to be able to use both 8800's in the final build.
