I request your input on getting a good build for purpose mentioned below:
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run?
Ans: Purpose of this Assembly is as follows with first being top priority and last being low priority:
a.Mainly it is for very minimal, photo editing, photo collage work in Adobe Photoshop; NOT for heavy duty rendering etc.
b.camtasia studio - creating small Audio,Video clips.
c.other purpose include using it for internet browsing, downloading, Microsoft office, watching HD movies, songs etc;
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: Rs.18000-20000
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 500GB will be sufficient; If price difference is not much, 1TB is also fine.
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
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Already have a CRT monitor, KB, Mouse,Cabinet/Case.Just want to upgrade CPU+MOBO+RAM+HDD+PSU
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: 5th May 2014.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I am going to assemble it; Have done many systems before
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. Local buying or online
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: a. Confused on AMD or Intel --> Based on other's feedback I see AMD processors are good for low-duty Graphics related work.
b. Do you think I should sell of existing 17" CRT Monitor and get a 22inch Dell monitor?
c. A durable system which will not need constant tinkering and troubleshooting such as mobo display problem
( I had bad experience with some lowend/lowpriced GB,ASUS mobos. I want to assemble a rocksolid system)
d. Will 4GB be enough for the above mentioned purpose or better to have 8GB?
e. Is it better to get a GPU?
