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: Gaming and usual programming (no high end graphics design stuff)
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 65k. Can stretch till 70k.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: GPU and CPU both. But not immediately. I'll use the overclocking tools provided by AMD for the GPU.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Ubuntu and Win 7 (registered).
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 64 GB (OS) and 1TB for other stuff.
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: Yes. 21.5 inch or more and should be high res with HDMI option.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: None. Am setting up a new one. So will buy all.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: February 2014 1st week.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Yes. But this time going with assembler with personal monitoring.
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. Buying locally from Lamington Street. Have enquired PrimeABGB but their price is high.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:
Below mentioned is my gaming RIG config. However I'm not sure about the prices and few components (mentioned with a '/'). I intend to configure this machine from Mumbai (Lamington Street). Any help in the preferred dealer would be most welcome. I don;t have a very good idea on it's prices.
PC Configuration:
-----------------
1. AMD FX-8350 8 Core 4.0-4.2 Ghz Processor/Intel core i5 4670-3.4Ghz
2. Asus M5A97 LE R2 Motherboard AMD 970 Chipset/Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H Motherboard Socket 1150
3. SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 OC WITH BOOST/Zotac Geforce GTX680 2GB DDR5 NVidia
4. Kingston HyperX 8GB KHX1600C10D3B1/8G DDR3 RAM
5. Corsair CMPSU VS650 Power Supply
6. ADATA Premier 64GB Pro SP600 SSD (For OS)
7. Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EZRX 1 TB Hard Disk (Everything other than OS)
8. Benq 21.5 inch GW2255HM LED Monitor
9. Antec X1 Gaming Cabinet front red LED
10. Antec AIR COOLER SERIES A40 CPU Cooler (Aftermarket cooler if I go with the AMD processor)
11. LG GH24NS95 DVD Burner Internal Optical Drive OEM
12. Logitech MK100 PS2/USB Keyboard and Mouse Combo
Other than this I'll probably go for a speaker (decent one) and throw in couple of LED 120mm fans. However I've a budget constraint of 65k. I can probably stretch 5k more at the max. But the prices I got from online retailers (e.g flipkart) appears too high. Please let me know the prices of these components (from SI#1 to SI#8. Rest of the components are not too costly to make a difference.)
