1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.' Vague answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work.)
Gaming and casual browsing. Far Cry 5, COD Black Ops Cold war, COD Warzone, Cyberpunk, Resident Evil all in at least 1080P settings.
I have a stone age old PC would like to use whatever I can from it.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then please mention.
Want to do it in two parts due to cash flow.
30-35k for Processor + Mobo + RAM. Planning to get this in a month.
30-35k later for GPU. Planning to buy in 6 months.
Can extend 5k, if required only if absolutely required on top of 35k in both parts.
3. Planning to overclock?
No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Windows 10
5. How much hard drive / solid-state drive space is needed?
I have Seagate 500GB Hard drive wanted to use it and maybe get 500GB or 1 TB later. Interested to buy SSD but it’s optional can wait on this and get when I will purchase GPU.
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention the screen size and resolution you prefer. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, then do mention the screen size and resolution of the monitor you have
No, I have 2 LG Full HD monitors (22MP68VQ) which are used for office work, planning to use them for now and planning to purchase a bigger screen and better resolution for the desktop next year.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy? i.e. which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Point #11 below have the list of the current component. From those, I believe I can use these.
In a month for Processor + Mobo + RAM. GPU in another 6 months.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before? Or, will this be done by an assembler?
Yes, I can assemble it myself.
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Lucknow, UP. Ready to buy offline and online both.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
The current setup is as below -
Processor - AMD Phenom 960T
Motherboard - ASUS M5A 78L-M LX
Monitor - 2 LG 22 inch Full HD (22MP68VQ)
PSU - Corsair CX500V2
GPU - Sapphire Radeon HD 6770
Keyboard - Logitech MK200 KB + Mouse
The current setup was working well and one fine day it showed a “Chassis intruded’ error while booting which I am unable to fix even after trying few tricks after searching it from google.
Tried resetting CMOS, was able to reach BIOS options but there was no option to disable the Chassis intrusion feature. Also checked on the motherboard but there is no pin on it for me to put a jumper on. Right now, I am unable to use it for normal browsing and stuff as well.
I was working out of town and had my roommate's PS4 there so it was working well for me as far as gaming was concerned. Now since I am back in my hometown I miss that and want to upgrade.

- GPU – Sapphire Radeon HD 6770. Will it work with current setup?
In a month for Processor + Mobo + RAM. GPU in another 6 months.
