My friend want to build a new PC so its my job to hunt for best components. Please go through the questionare and please leave your recommendation.



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: All Laterst Games
Some CPU Intensive professional programs( he told me their names but I forgot)


2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 55k + 5k (if needed)

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: NO

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7/8 64bits with dual boot ubuntu/mint

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1TB

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: YES. 20 or 22 inch should work.

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: N/A

8. When are you planning to buy the system?

Ans: Delhi. Locally (nehru palace) .open to online though.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: He will only go for Intel so please don't recommend AMD rig. He will run some CPU intensive programs( i forgot their names) so a 4th gen i7 would be a delight :)

What i suggested him:
i7-4770
Compatible motherboard(?)
WD 1TB BLue
4GB X 2 Ram
650 ti 2GB
NZXT gamma (or any other alternative? )
Seasonic s12 II 520W (would be enough? )

Kindly answer 1st question correctly...
As you mentioned NORMAL processing for that you wont need i7-4770, you'll be OK with i5 also and then you can add better graphics so you can play ALL RECENT games.

The rig you have decided is quite OK
> mobo get Gigabyte H87M-D3H ~ 8k
> Ram G.skill single 8GB stick or may be x2.... thats why reply 1st question exactly
>seasonic S12ii 520 would be enough but better be on safe side & get S12ii 620.
>Go for S2240L at any cost.
> keyboard :- logitech K200 ~ 400rs
mouse :- lenovo M6811 ~ 700rs

Have edited the question 1 please check again. He would be running some CPU intensive programs and he told me he would want a i7 so no chance in getting a i5 against it.
And graphic card above 650ti ( maximum 650 ti boost) won't be needed.

- Btw how is i5 4670 and i5 4670 k compared to i7 4770?
- If he skips graphics card for now and buy it in Q2 of 2014 will he be able to play most latest games in mid settings with iGPU?
-What does sl stands for in dell monitor? And why 22 inch is way much better than 20 inch?

Edit: (Another question)
- Which processor has Intel hd 5000? I saw almost all processor of 4th Gen but all of them have Intel hd 4600.

I cant tell you anythig about 1,2,4th question untill you answer first question that exact which softwares are goint to used on this PC.
Dell S2240L is 21.5" 1920x1080 Full HD monitor with IPS panel whereas Dell IN2030M has 1600x900 and TN panel.
IPS panel is much better than TN.
IN stands for inspiron.
S stands for studio.

Q1- okay will ask about the softwares
Q2- he won't need gpu for his professional work. He only needs for games and as said he will play all latest games. So can you answer it now that is it a good idea to skip gpu for now?
Q3 - okay
Q4- it isn't related to software. I am just asking a general question.

4k will fetch you to get hd 7870 which is a very good card and worth the money. other components are fine.

For video editing 7870 is good card as it provides good OpenGL acceleration....
get i7-4770 why you are downgrading components :)

For video encoding, FX-8350 should be the choice, not any i5. In most of the video encoding tools and codec, 8350 is good amount of faster than i5 4670 and very close to i7 4770.

Thank you everyone for reply. But keeping video editing aside for a moment is this config fine? My main concern are the motherboard and PSU.

and what about Gigabyte b85m-d3h. I am concern because it is one of the cheapest/basic available so does it have all the necessary features required (front usb 3.0? ) I have checked its spec but to be honest didn't understood much and so can you/someone please cross check it?

that mobo has 1 usb 3.0 header which means it can power 2 usb 3.0 ports on your cabinet(if your cabinet contains usb 3.0 ports). so no worries.
