Hi techies 
Had a look at this thread, but, I think, the Guide hasn't been upgraded there.
Some days back, I'd posted a forum for getting advice for a GPU and decided to go for HD 7950. Dad just agreed to get me a gaming rig - the budget is around 80k but if I'd be getting the best for 1 lakh, dad might go for it.
According to this forum, I'm answering the questions here:
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: Mainly, Gaming! FPS Games, high-end Games, latest games! More specifically, like Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, GTA 4 (Really, I love it), COD Series! Watching movies, listening music would be on the intermediate priority list, but MAINLY GAMING!!
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 70-80k. Might raise it to 100k (I wish
)
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Yeah, I'm reading about it!
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 8 64-Bit
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1-2 TB would be more than enough.
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: Yeah, I'm buying a whole new rig! I think, screen size like 25-30 inch would do. Please guide me for the screen size and the resolution according to the GPU I'm planning to get - It's HD 7950 Vapor X Edition.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: I'm planning to get everything like Speakers, Keyboard/Mouse, UPS..everything! Well, if you don't want to, you may not give the recommendation for them.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Before my B'day - 11th April 2013.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I can but my friend, the local store owner, would do it for free.
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: Jammu. I don't think I'd be getting the latest products here but the local store would order it for me.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Yeah! Mainly, I just need recommendations on the main parts - CPU, MOBO, RAM, HDD and Display. I'd compromise for any peripheral or component for getting a better gaming rig. For the GPU, I've decided this one:
GPU - Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Vapor X Edition.
If you've got some more time, you may answer these ones:
Haswell series worth waiting?
Should I take a sound card into consideration?
How much power would be required and which PSU would do?
Any suggestion for a Cabinet?
