Hello Friends,
I have a Dell XPS for the last 4 years and now it is not able to cope up with my requirements. So, I am planning to buy a desktop instead. Only constraint right now I am in Australia and will come back to India in about 1 year and I don't want to sell it but to bring it back(I might leave behind the case and power supply due to weight issue). So, my first question is how much approx weight does the peripherals have and is it a good idea to go ahead with this plan?
So, here are my answers to the questioner.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: Gaming(CoD, Battlefield and all the latest games), Programming which can easily include running 2-3 VM's at a single time.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: Initially it was 1000$(~50000 INR) but now 1200$(~60000)
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: not right now
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Win 7/8/10 any
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: thinking of 120 GB SSD and around 720GB HDD but let the but have to look at the budget.
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: Will buy a cheap monitor separately(preferably used one).
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: None
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: In about 1 week
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I haven't built but will be building
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: Sydney, I will buy Online(ref: PC Case Gear)
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I will prefer 16 GB RAM due to my work.
here is my config:
RAM: Kingston Hyper x Fury 16GB
proc: Intel i5 4460
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H
Power Supply: Cooler Master B2 series 600W
Cabinet: Corsair Carbide Spec 01
Video Card: MSI GTX 970/Gigabyte GTX 970
these are what I have finalised, what do you all think.
Thanks
