    1. What is your budget? ~€1200.

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming, Java & C++ programming.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes.

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No.

    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? 1280x960, not at the moment

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? No.

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yes, most likely

    8. How can you pay? Credit Card.

    9. When are you purchasing? Next month.

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? I won't need help.

    So this is what I was thinking so far:

    Case: NZXT Phantom 410 Midi Tower Chassis
    Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V PRO
    CPU: i5 3570k
    GPU: Sapphire HD7850 2GB GDDR5
    RAM: Corsair LP Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
    PSU: Cooler Master GX-Series 650W 80 Plus
    HDD: Seagate 1TB Barracuda SATA 6Gb/s 64MB 7200RPM HDD
    CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler

    In total, using Amazon, it comes to just under €1200.

    Thoughts and suggestions ?
