I want to make a system for my GF since she's tired of the old Athlon x2 system I gave her and she's always competing for my PC's chair!
I have a cabinet ready. Well, I have these components ready.
- Benq 22" monitor
- Old but still fine iBall ATX cabinet
- Steelseries Mouse/razer pad
- Logitech keyboard
- Seagate 500GB HDD
So all I need is to fill up the cabinet with new parts. The budget is around 20K. My shortlisted components are at the bottom of this post. First, the questionnaire.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Generic answers will not work. Be exact and avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: smooth League of Legends gaming (she's crazy over that), movies, occasional FPS but high details not reqd.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: MAX is 20K. No higher!
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Nope.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 ULT
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Already have, but suggestions welcome
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: NOPE
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: as mentioned above. here ya go again.
- Benq 22" monitor
- Old but still fine iBall ATX cabinet
- Steelseries Mouse/razer pad
- Logitech keyboard
- Seagate 500GB HDD
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Jan-Feb 2012
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Many times
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: Bangalore. Better to buy locally, but let's see.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Nothing in my mind right now. Will post replies if anything comes up.
And here the list that I shortlisted.
CPU: Phenom II x4 955BE (need suggestion if Athlon II x4 will also work)
RAM: Corsair/ADATA 4GB DDR3 stick (the low cost ones ~15k)
GPU: MSI HD6670 (worried about availability and also if there's a better/cheaper alternative)
PSU: FSP SAGA II 500
MB: suggestion on this. Cheap but good.
The one thing that's very important is that League of Legends should run very smoothly on the system!! It's sluggish on the current AthlonII x2 and that's why we are always fighting over for time in my system
