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.')
Sandbox games (GTA , Watch dogs etc), FIFA series, FPS (Battlefield & COD etc)
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
17-18K for Processor, Motherboard & PSU.
3. Planning to overclock?
Not for next two years at least
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Windows 7 64bit
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
I've a 1TB HD, I'll make use of it.
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.
I've a LG monitor that's 18.5 inch supports upto 1366x768 resolution.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
I'm planning to use below components that I already own
G.Skill NT 4GB DDR3-1333
Zotac Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2GB DDR5
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
All three components before mid of Feb.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
I'm capable assembling the PC.
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Chennai. Flipkart-WSretail or Ritchie St.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
My PC: (I'll be using the highlighted ones with my new components)
Intel Dualcore E5700
Gigabyte G41MT-S2
G.Skill NT 4GB DDR3-1333
Zotac Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2GB DDR5
Crappy PSU
Budget: Rs 17,500 for Processor, Motherboard & PSU.
Fortunately my close bud working in Intel, USA. He gets steep discount on processors.
i5 4690K - Rs.7600 ($121)
i7 4790K - Rs.10,900 ($173)
i7 4770K - Rs.10,000 ($160 )
I'm going to use my PC solely for gaming and for media consumption. I'm not into image/video editing stuffs. So, I'll probably go with the i5 model since it suits my needs and comes cheap.
I've three questions:
1) Shipping from US: i5 4690K will cost Rs.7600 + shipping charges. I'm not sure about the exact shipping cost from US to India but I'm guessing it'll be around Rs.2,000. If the processor is sealed would I have to pay tax/duty? I've no problems in receiving an unsealed package to avoid unwanted tax.
2) Since my budget is little low, I can't afford to pair the 'devil canyon i5 4690K' with a Z87 or Z97 motherboard. So I'm opting for a modest motherboard that costs around Rs.5,000. I need suggestions for B85 or H87 motherboards that support i5 4690K?
3) A budget PSU (costs Rs.3,000) that's capable of running i5 4690K+ GTX 750 Ti.
Thanks in advance!
