Thanks for replies -

@Sajuuk - My current computer is irrelevant, it's a very average run-of-the-mill computer, not even designed for anything, really. I bought it in a hurry when my last computer died of old age, and as a result, didn't pay attention to much outside of price. I figure if I'm gonna have someone build me a computer, I may as well start from the ground up.

@roflstomp -

1 - As long as possible. My current job allows me to save some cash, but not a great deal in a hurry. I couldn't afford to replace it on a whim, so it needs to be able to last, even if not at top end forever.

2 - No, I don't plan on boxing more than two. I'm not attracted to having my own little army so much as I am to having an extra bit of damage or some heals to help make questing / grinding easier. I'll still look for other players and guild mates for most of my interactions in game.

3 - As I mentioned, I'm stuck saving up money anyway, so I might as well save a bit longer and get something better. With that in mind, I don't have a dollar limit, and if I get an outline of what I ought to get, I can plug it into the website and see my ballpark. I do need the whole shebang though, monitor/mouse/speakers/keyboard. My current monitor has lived through three separate towers, and it's getting very old.

4 - I honestly don't have a personal preference, as I mentioned, hardware isn't my forte.

5 - Base as in the minimum I'm looking to spend? From what I've found online in various 'good gaming rig on a budget' articles, $800 - $1000 USD seems like a good window (though, I'm from Canada, so the numbers are a bit different) but then, a lot of those seem to require things like overclocking to be really worth it, which I have zero intention of doing. I'm certainly not looking to spend more than $2000 CAD on the tower itself, and not much more than a few hundred dollars on monitors (more for the main monitor, less for the smaller two. Thinking 17" for the two small monitors - my current monitor is an Acer AL1916W 19" widescreen and I'm thinking a similar size (though, perhaps different brand) for my main.)

I'll worry about things like speakers/mouse/keyboard as a separate expense from the main tower, and likely just get what happens to be on sale at the time. I intend to use a single keyboard/mouse for my boxing, and just use something like Keyclone.

If you need any more information, feel free to ask.
