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:My main purpose for the computed is Gaming. I would want to run all the latest games, although I will primarily be playing World of Warcraft and DOTA2. I would want a computer that is a gaming powerhouse within my budget. I do not want anything flashy, no lights, no see through cabinets, the only thing I am concerned with is performance. I just want to buy a CPU, I already have everything else.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:50-60k. 60k is kind of upper limit, maybe I could extend 2-3k more if I am getting a significant upgrade.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 8.1 or Windows 10
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: I can work with 500 GB but planning on buying 1 TB
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:I do not want buy a monitor. I own BenQ 24 inch GL2460HM LED Backlit LCD 1080p Monitor.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans:I do not own any components so would want to buy everything for a CPU. I already have a SSD, which I may add to the system
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans:As soon as possible
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:I have built a desktop before
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:I live in Delhi, I am open to buying locally/ online depending on whichever is more cost effective
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:As mentioned in the first question. I am looking for a non flashy, purely performance based CPU. If I can save money on things like USB slots in the front and reinvest in performance, I would gladly do so. The CPU will just sit in the corner so I am okay even with an "ugly" cabinet as long as I am getting a good performance.
Also there is no love lost from me to either Intel, Nvidia or AMD, only concern is current and future gaming performance.
If possible, I would like to add a CPU cooler to this too.
These are some of the parts I was thinking , with current prices from either Nehru Place (cost to cost) or online shops
Total: 58,365
