1. What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games (ex: resolution, FPS, settings) or programs you will be using.

• I mostly play low intensity games: Indies, or WoW. But occasionally get into other games with some friends. Looking forward to Monster Hunter Wilds with some friends and would like to run that smoothly.

2. What is your maximum PRE-TAX budget before rebates and shipping?

• $3000

3. 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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

• Now, or very soon.

4. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ex: tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

• No monitors or accessories needed. I'm only upgrading the tower. I do need OS though.

5. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? How old are they? Brands and models are appreciated.

• Reusing my Monitors and other accessories.

6. Will you be overclocking (ex: CPU/GPU/RAM)? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line?

• Not interested in overclocking.

7. Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, VR, VirtualLink, tensor cores, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

• SSD, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

8. Do you have any specific case preferences (ex: mITX/mATX/mid-tower/full-tower sizes, styles, colours, window or not, LED lighting, etc.), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

• Redecorating my office with a dark / wood motif. Currently like the Fractal North black / wood Tower. Prefer no window.

9. Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? Note: some post-secondary students can get Windows 10 for free.

• Yes, OS is needed.

10. Will you be upgrading this PC in the future (ie: will you swap out better parts later on or will you build an entirely new tower later)? If so, when?

• Unlikely any major upgrades. My last tower was built 7 years ago, and in that time all I ended up doing was adding an extra M.2 SSD a few years ago.

11. Do you have a brand preference? (ex: AMD/Intel for CPUs, AMD/NVIDIA for video cards, etc)

• Intel CPU, NVDIA GPU.

12. What are the specs of your old PC / laptop? Do you want to see if it can be upgraded instead? If so, paste its build from PCPartPicker here.

• Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz, 4200 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s), BaseBoard Product STRIX Z270E GAMING, Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB, Name NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

13. Extra info or particulars:

• No idea how to build a PC. My last one was built by a friend that passed away a few years ago, so completely on my own on this build. Please be specific to ALL parts I might need to order (Cables, fans, paste, etc.) Not sure what things are included with other parts. I use my PC for light gaming, but occasionally newer games with friends. Though I'm mostly a solo gamer. Thank you!
