Right off the assembly line
Yup, it's another 35k CPU.
Anyway, I'm about to buy a new CPU and CPU only. I've already rounded some parts with help from the killer rigs section, sticky threads, extensive googl...extensive research and personal fanboy preference.
Parts are-
GPU-Zotac Geforce GTX 560ti. Not AMP! edition.
Processor- Core i5 2500k, Sandy bridge. (this isn't dumb, right?)
RAM- Any company's 2x2 GB DDR3.
Case- CM Elite 430. (I doubt I'll be able to get it though...)
You guys suggest mobo, RAM, PSU, HDD AND ODD.
And here's the questionnaire-
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: Mid-range gaming. Hitman Blood Money, BF3, all AC games, SC2, Max Payne 3 and anything else I can get. I'm no "OMG high resolution only!!" kind of guy, my max res is 1680x1050,though graphics settings will all be highest. I just want nice graphics, moderate res and ~30 FPS, which I think this rig should be able to provide. And the usual others, you know, movies, browsing, FB machine.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: Planning for 36k. Can extend to 38k. 40k even.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 64 bit.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 500 gb. Might extend to 750gb or even 1tb later on.
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: Reusing an LG Flatron L222WS. 1680x1050. 22" maybe. It has VGA so I'll be using the VGA-DVI converter which comes with the Zotac GTX 560ti.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: My monitor(above), keyboard, mouse (both USB), iBall rocky headphones, a Luminous UPS(not much info on it).
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans:Withing 1-2 weeks.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Nope. I'll get help from an assembler.
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: Noida. Would prefer to buy local. Going to Nehru Place. Online only if really necessary.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I just hope there won't be any compatibility problems, weird mobo beeps etc. I plan on using this system for ~3-4 years atleast. This will be upgradable, right? And I might need some good cooling advice.
