Looking to buy a new PC and need some help
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.' Vague answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work.)
Ans: Video and Photo Editing. Software to be used mainly Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve. Also AutoCAD.
Also some Gaming mainly @FHD/2K
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then please mention.
Ans: 1.25-1.5 Lac. Would like it to be on the lower side
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Win 11
5. How much hard drive / solid-state drive space is needed?
Ans: 1TB ssd for OS for now. Will be adding another 1TB ssd from my current Laptop to it
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention the screen size and resolution you prefer. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, then do mention the screen size and resolution of the monitor you have.
Ans: No. Will use my current one for now. Will be adding a 4K monitor to this system at a later date
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy? i.e. which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Keyboard & Mouse
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Within this month (June 2026)
9. Have you ever built a desktop before? Or, will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Built by me
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: Chandigarh
Open to Online or Local buy, or from Delhi NCR
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I've picked out a build myself, which comes to 1.5L. I fear some components I've chosen might be overkill for the needs.
Couple of questions:
1. Would a B650 M/B be fine instead of a B850.
2. 750W PSU should be fine or should i go for 850W just to be safe.
