Right off the assembly line
Hi All,
I am currently contemplating building a gaming PC.
First the basic questions:
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: Specifically gaming. It should be able to play the latest games including NFS REBEL, GTA V (if PC version comes), BF4, Hitman Absolution, COD series. etc. and should be able to do so for the next 3-4 years with minor upgrades. even min graphics would do.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 35-40k. extendable after sometime for GPU
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Not for now.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 64 Bit
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Dont care. already have around 5.5tb in externals
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. Will be connecting it to a Full HD 42" LED TV
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Want just the complete Cabinet
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: next 1-2 months
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Never built before but will be building this 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: Stay in Pune. online/local both can be looked at for better deals
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: The pc should hold together for the next 3-4 years at least with min graphic requirements of games.
Now what I have in mind is the following along with prices @ Flipkart:
1. AMD A10-5800K : Price 8480
2. ASRock FM2A85X Extreme6 Motherboard: Price 8108
3. Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) 1600: price 5245
4. Corsair VS550 550 Watt PSU : price 3400
5. Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus Mid Tower Cabinet : price 4910
6. Samsung SH-224DB/IDDS DVD Burner Internal Optical Drive : Price 1053
7. WD 1 TB Laptop Internal Hard Drive: Price 5250
8. Zotac Nvidia GT650Ti 1GB/2Gb: price 11k/13.5k (Planned upgrade when the current GPU stops playing even for Min graphic requirement)
Overall price 36k. without graphic card.
Please help me in finalizing the config.
Please advise if i can use any better product and substitutes at a cheaper price.
real tight on budget.
