With the computer build I plan on mostly gaming and for it to be sort of a hobby. I've been interested in computers for a while. So gaming.
My budget is pretty flexible actually. I don't really plan on getting everything at once. Strictly the tower would cost around 1k. You guys have shaved off $200 off of the cost so far ^-^. It doesn't include Windows or hardware apart from the tower. I haven't really looked much into the extras, but once I get a solid list of components I will look further into those.
U.S.A. New York. You guys seem to swear by Newegg so definitely that! Microcenter seems worth the drive.
I do plan on overclocking, but maybe not right away, what with extra money in cooling in such. Size for the build is completely irrelevant to me. I'd actually prefer it to be larger with extra space for cable management and such, but the case I plan on is just fine. As for noise, I don't want it too loud but silence isn't vital to me. Chances are I will use headphones a lot, because I like them.
I definitely want to keep upgrading it. Like I said, I would like this to become a sort of hobby. If I spend now and let it rest then it will be outdated and that would be sad for when Ivy Bridge gets going. I think it's called Ivy Bridge.
As for Crossfire I have seen things about it and such but it definitely isn't a priority. It just isn't.
I hope that answers some questions.
