Hello ,
I am planning to deploy a new rig by this week, I want a rig which last for 3-4 years, my friend is going to use it as casual home (light gaming) build.
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: Simple Everyday Use, light gaming, and vr fun (in future)
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 20k is what I have planned for, max 25k
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: only if possible in budget
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 10 PRO, already purchased
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Already have ssd and hdd
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: Already have 1080p 21 inch monitor
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: GPU GTX 1030, 128 GB Samsung SSD, 1 TB HDD, 21inch Monitor
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Mid Feb
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I will be assembling it
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 Mumbai, I will buy locally but buying online isn't a issue either... which ever is cheaper
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:Since my friend wants it for home use.. and she will be doing some light MMORPG gaming on it, I have short listed following parts so need help with choosing better Processor and Motherboard
since friend doesn't want to wait for (i3 8100) Intel 300 series lower end motherboards to arrive or for AMD Ryzen 2 processors to arrive.. this build need to be finished on currently available PC components only
So my main question is since ryzen will be supporting am4 platform till end of 2019 that is till ryzen gen 3 processor and motherboards hit market.. so I am planning swap for better processor or motherboard that time from current build. also please suggest PSU that will supoort 1060 6gb or equivalent Graphics card (Future buy) in your mind.
Ryzen 1400
AMD 320 motherboard (change motherboard later in 2019)
8 GB DDR4 Ram
550 watt PSU
Cooler master masterbox lite or better airflow Case

Ryzen 1200 (Change Processor Later in 2019)
