Budget: $1100
More specific use (what games, what programs): Want it to run any game for at least the next 5-7 years.
Planned time until purchase: Now!
Do you need an Operating System?: Yes (can students still get cheap OS at schools?)
Do you have any specific preferred components?: intel is a must
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: no
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: won’t be overclocking, but I’ll probably use a larger air cooler.
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: no, no, and no.
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 33579
I do not want to spend a lot on a case. A decent $40-$60 case works for me. My previous computer is in a Rosewell case. Not using anything from current/dead pc in new one.
Which school (University students can get free OS I know I do)
Why intel?
In all honesty, you should wait for the next lineup which will be alleged to be released in the next year. If you buy now, 5-7 years won't be guaranteed.
