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: Being a Furniture Designer, I need the rig to do the following things:
3D Modelling - Sketchup (perhaps 3DS Max). I understand Sketchup does not need an Uber config
3D Rendering - CPU (Thea/VRay) and GPU (Thea) based Renders
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: Upper limit - 1L (incl taxes)
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Only if it has a significant impact on rendering times. Else stock will do just fine.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 10
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 250 GB Samsung EVO SSD. May add on a 1TB later if needed, but not now
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: IPS Panel for accurate color reproduction.
Priority 1: 2x ~20-24" 1080P
Priority 2: 1x ~24" to ~27" 1080P minimum
Decision to be taken on budget considerations. First priority will be to max out CPU and RAM
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Zotac GTX 1070 Amp
Razer Deathadder Chroma Mouse + Mouse Pad
Microsoft Sidewinder x4 KB
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: December End. Should I wait for the new Intel processors?
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: 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: Gurgaon. I will buy from C2C@Nehru place. I doubt there would be a need to go online
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: a) Since I already have a GTX 1070, please help on CPU (6-8 cores preferably), MOBO, RAM (dual channel 16GB/32GB) for maxing out CPU rendering capabilities under the budget.
b) For reference, my previous rig is here. I bought it in 2011 with help from fellow digit forum members for gaming. I intend to give it to my wife for 3D designing.
