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: 3d Farm Rendering through network, connected with my current system. It is to be used as a render farm.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: Looking for the motherboard first, as my current Gigabyte supports only 24 GB. Budget will come later. Quad core processor with a nor geforce card ( GPu rendering is not required). Will be planning to buy another machine after this with similar amount of RAM.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Maybe, I am going to render for days sometimes. Is it optimal to overclock in such a condition?
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 Ultimate
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: I will buy 2TB +
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: lg led. Do not need high resolution as it will be just for rendering.
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: One month, provided I find it.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: By an assembler, though I chose all the items.
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: Kolkata, I would prefer locally. I had bought Nvidia Quadro from Delhi and when anything goes wrong with it I have to courier it to Delhi and till it comes back, my work gets hampered.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
More Cpu and RAM are required for the 3D software I use ( max, maya, blender, Vue etc) to make rendering fast.

I don't think any such boards are available in India...
Buy something like this frMSI X79A-GD45 Plus LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - Newegg.comom abroad:
Well if such are not available then what about 64 GB RAM?
