Wise Old Owl
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:
"The purpose is heavy internet surfing/downloading/streaming. Sometimes MS Office Word/Google Docs/Open Source suites document editing, computer programming are required. Playing games like GTA4, GTA5, COD:Black Ops 1&2, FIFA 13, NFS MW 2, NFS Shift, Racedriver GRID2."
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:
"I will have to be very budget centric at the same time I don’t want to compromise on performance in Games. I will hunt for the best possible configuration that is cheap but doesn’t compromise on quality. As this is my first time I am building my own desktop, the configurations are likely to change if I get cheap but impressive alternatives. "
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:
"I am not much aware of that feature but if overclocking increases the performance of the computer without doing any long-term damage then I am very much open to it. "
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:
"Windows 7 or 8 (64-bit)"
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:
"1 TB is 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:
"Yes, I do want to buy a monitor. The resolution must be 1920x1080p. The screen size can be anything between 20-25”.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans:
"Will buy SSD later. Or if there’s a cheap option for a 64 Gig that can fit into my budget then I am open to it."
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans:
"It can take 2-3 months. Would be buying parts at separate time periods. "
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:
"I haven’t built a desktop before. I am not that confident whether I can build one, need your humble support."
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:
"Varanasi, UP. I will prefer buying online since local shop dealers don’t have updated stocks."
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:
"I basically want a budget PC that can play latest Games smoothly (Sample Games list written above)
I have come up with a configuration which is over my budget already
