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
rimarily to be used for browsing and Multimedia and HD viewing. Occasional gaming (FPS like COD) and general office work.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 15k for Proc, Mobo & RAM
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: I already have a 1TB HDD
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: I already have a 19 inch monitor (1440X900 res.). However, I'm looking to upgrade. Please suggest a 20+ inch HD monitor under 10k.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: I'm only planning to buy Proc, RAM & Mobo. I'm also looking at buying a monitor as a secondary purchase.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: ASAP, planning to buy over the weekend
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Yes I will be building it.
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: Mumbai. I will be buying online, preferably Flipkart.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I have chosen the following components, please review if they look okay.
Processor - Core i3 2120 Sandy Bridge Processor - I believe the onboard GPU on this one would be sufficient for HD Viewing and occasional
gaming.
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H. I have chosen the new B75 chipset over the H61 because it supports USB 3.0, Sata 3 and Ivy Bridge natively. Now I understand B75 is meant for small businesses however I couldn't find any significant differences between B75 and H77. Please let me know if going with B75 is going to hinder the home user experience in any way.
