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: Some MS Office.. mostly surfing, streaming videos and HD media playback.
Little to no gaming.


2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.

Ans: As less as possible.. can go up to 20k if needed..

3. Planning to overclock?

Ans: No

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Win 7 / Win 8

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 500gb

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: No.. Will be using a 32" TV

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Don't have anything. No urgent need for an optical drive.. that is optional.
