Back to school!!
So as the thread title says, suggest me the cheapest possible config under 15k.
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: This pc is for my cousin sister, she plays ONLY facebook games and Sims 3(graphics quality mean nothing to her), plus she does lots of chatting and thats pretty much what she does 24x7.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 15k+-2k
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: You kidding![Laughing :lol: :lol:](/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Win 7
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 250GB
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: Not in plan, she has ye old crt monitor to use, but feel free to include one if budget permits.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Kb+mouse is there, also no speakers, and monitor as I'd said earlier.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Monday
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: No issue with this.
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: Kolkata, only local offline shops.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Must come with UPS.
I had come up with this, comment and modify(price incl taxes):
