hello everyone, i have browsed the forum for solution related to my query. i've found lot's of helpful info. kindly go through my questionnaire and guide me further.
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: i will be doing n64/psx/ps2 emulation, watch 720p movies, surf internet, downloading through torrents, and play pc games.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 35k max
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: no
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 8 64-bit
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1 TB
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: if it can fit in my above mentioned budget, then yes. 1366x768 would be my general resolution. i will play games and watch movies in 720p.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: i don't want to buy UPS as i already have one.

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: professional assembler will do.
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: Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. i prefer to get stuff locally, availability is not much of an issue but won't mind getting things online.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: i am quite an amd fanboy and would prefer it over intel. i have learned that FX-4300 suits quite well for my requirement but i am confused about whether i should go with FX+GPU or APU based config.
i haven't had a desktop pc to play games since 7-8 years. the pc i had earlier, when i was in school, it was not even able to play "NFS Underground 2" at highest setting. now as i am earning good enough i wish to now have a pc which can play my old games at highest possible settings, and also, latest version of my favourite games. i am more interested towards reliving my old days. some of my favourite old games:
- nfs underground 2
- rollercoaster tycoon series
- simcity 3000 unlimited / 4
- gta 3 / vice city / san andreas
- tomb raider series
- prince of persia: the sands of time series
- enter the matrix / path of neo
