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: I already own all COD games, Titanfall, Battlefield (3&4), Watchdogs. I would like to build a strong pc that is fairly future proof so should be able to play these games future versions. I am also interested in Video editing (have some experience), as well as Streaming online. I would also love to get my hands dirty with Blender 3D for some hardcore rendering.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: starting budget is 1lac, I can shell out more (~1.5lac) if the value I get from what I buy increases many fold & makes sense. I value quality over cost.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Yes
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 10. I will want to dual boot with linux too, however that shouldn't be a problem.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: I am inclined towards getting an SSD, a 256GB should suffice. I can add more later. A 500GB HDD if it fits budget or else I would upgrade later. I can scavenge some from my existing laptop too.
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: No, I already own a decent monitor, not upgrading it at the moment.
Edit : I currently have a benq 1080p 60hz 1ms response time VA panel.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Monitor, Headphones, Mouse, Keyboard
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Hopefully within a week.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I have built long before when things were much simpler. I would like to be able to build one on my own, I also have help available of some friends who have more experience.
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: Bangalore. Yes I plan to buy locally to maximise value for money. However, if availability of certain brands / components becomes an issue I am willing to get them online.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I have been spending a considerable amount of time thinking about this. At the moment I am inclined towards getting a nvidia gtx 1070 graphics card paired with intel i7 7700k, however I am willing to change if something else is more suitable
Thanks for your help. Hope I am as clear as needed.
