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: Virtualization (max 2 VM at a time), watching HD movies via XBMC, programming.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 20k (+2k)
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Maybe.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: CentOS 6.5 & Arch Linux (primary), Windows 8.1 (only for gaming), OS X Mavericks (for testing the IPA files).
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: None, I have 2 TB.
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. I already have AOC F22 @ 1080p & Lloyd LCD TV at 768p. Intend to use them both.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, SMPS, HDD, ODD, Cabinet, graphics card.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Ist week of January
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Loads of time. I'll build it myself.
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: Himachal Pradesh.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Don't include AMD systems as they don't have support in OS X. Besides, the onboard Intel will be fine for me as I don't want to play games. I'm confused between Intel Core i5 4440 & 4570. Don't know which processor to pick as the price difference is just 1k.
Shortlisted this configuration.
