Asking on behalf of a friend, who has been using his 8-year old core 2 duo system, and badly in need of an upgrade.
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: AUTOCAD. Random gaming (read latest AC game, Tomb Raider etc.)
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: ₹60,000 (Add 10k more if needed)
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 10 (Worst OS ever)
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: One 1 TB normal hard drive. And one budget SSD just for installing the apps and games.
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. Not right now. But if it can be squeezed in why not!
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Already have Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor (depending), UPS.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Sooner the better.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Haven't decided yet!
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: Calcutta. MD is preferred, online. But if Vedant or any other place offers lower price then definitely that.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: The purchaser upgrading from a really old system like I said. And likes to use a computer long term. So this current system should run for at least five-six years minimum. So it has to be a solid system. Main usage would be office work, like in AUTOCAD, and other map related works. And then some random gaming like I mentioned at the beginning of the thread. However, gaming is not the priority, so the machine should be more of a workhorse, less a pure gaming rig. He also mentioned he can spend the least on the GPU, and upgrade later if need be.
And also, INTEL ONLY.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Saurav
