Hi all,
I am trying to build a new PC.
Please help me in building this system.
I have also filled up the questionnaire, so that you might help.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance
but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
Yes, obviously
3. What is your MAX budget?
Rs. 40,000, give or take a few.
4. Planning to overclock?
Presently, I am not a master in OC, but may try that over the years. As for now, NO.
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
Linux(possibly, Ubuntu) and Windows 7 64bit
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
not quite sure, 500GB could be enough. anyway, there is always an option for upgrading.
7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen?
possibly, I would get a Dell U2211H / U2311H. That is 1920x1080. Size is 21" for U2211H, or 23" for U2311H
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
7/10
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
I have never built before, but this time, I will do it.
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
Within 2 weeks.
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
Probably, yes.
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
Keyboard, mouse, speaker, optical drive. - I already have the peripherals
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
I live in Bangalore. Probably, I would buy from S.P. Road (KR Market) but I have no problem in shipping it from other cities/states/countries.
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
- I have a wireless connection.
- Since it would be mainly used for designing purpose, I would like to have an IPS panel. I know that would eat up a major portion of my budget, around 13.5k if I go for Dell U2311K.
Here is what I have in mind:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T (Rs. 9.5k) ... not sure about it though, your suggestion is extremely important
Motherboard:
• Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H 880G
• Asus M4A87TD-USB3
which one to use? (both will be within 5-6k, if I am not wrong.) I am open to other suggestions as well.
RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (Rs. 5k)
HDD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 1TB (has it arrived in India yet?.. if not, I will buy a cheap 500 GB/ 250GB hard disk for the time being.)
Case: To be suggested (need to consider heating problem as system will run for hours without shutdown)
PSU: To be suggested
GPU: Planning to use onboard GPU.
Monitor: Dell U2211H / U2311H (Rs. 13,500 / Rs. 15,000) - the cheapest IPS monitor around, AFAIK... may be you could suggest something.
Please help me to finalise the PC. If anybody is from Bangalore and knows about the price in S.P. Road, it would be highly appreciated.

1. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
- I will NOT play any game,
- Adobe Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver and other Adobe Suite softwares... 5-6 hours / day
- Video editing, not on huge scale... things like ripping, encoding etc, 3 - 5 times per month
- Heavy torrenting, hopefully the system will never be shut down!!!
- Watching HD movies, 720p / 1080p, other general purpose.
