Hey guys,
Trying to setup a family PC for one of my relatives, they are tight on budget, it would be great if we can have everything within 25k, else they are ok to stretch until 30k. Please see the responses within the template below and suggest a complete rig, also one with a decent upgrade path, know its too much to ask given the budget, but whatever optimum would be great.
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:
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 25k, hard stop at 30k
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:Nope
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:Win 7/8
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:Not really sure, but 1TB seems to be the sweet spot
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:20' whatever is the sweet spot
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 a week or so
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:I will be helping a relative build one.
This is what i have thought about so far:

This is what i have thought about so far:
