Need help on building a new PC.

[MorningOwl]

Most of the time I will be downloading movies, playing Diablo 3 ,watching YouTube and online shopping.

I have a budget of $1.4k

I need a PC, monitor and wireless adapter and also OS.
For the OS, I'm thinking of getting window 7. I'm going to buy it from shop as I don't know how to download OEM one.

Maybe in future I will play online mmorpg games. No need in high settings. Just mid setting will do.

Hope it can lasts for at least 3years.

To all the Experts, please help me.
And I will be getting all the things from tradepac.

Thank you all =)

Is it $1.4K or $1K in your PM message?

And both Windows 7 and 8.1 can free upgrade to Winddows 10 within first year. So better for you to save $100 odd and download Windows 8.1 Pro from one of my many reco posts and wait for it to come.

Yes, if u want it easy. Go on weekdays off peak hours when there is less crowd to cut down on waiting time.

However, note that there are unverified complaints swirling around online from supposedly ex-customers that TradePac may not return you all the bundled unused accessories, adapters and cables that come with your purchases which you are entitled to.

I can't vouch for authenticity of this reported issue since I always buy parts only but not whole system from TradePac. U can take a risk but stay around to watch them closely when they are assembling your rig?

Then how about those parts warranty? Are they going to issue all the parts receipt one by one?
