Hi Friends,
I am planning to buy a new pc that is good for gaming as well as photo editing works. So, for the past few days I have been going through the threads in this forum related to this price range and shortlisted certain components for my PC. I wish that you all go through my list and forward me your valuable opinions on what changes should I made if required and why.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
A:Gaming and running heavy applications like Photoshop and other photo editing softwares.
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
A: Yes, but I prefer NVIDIA graphics cars. I need a good enough reason to consider ATI.

A: 55,000. Can be extended to 60,000 but i want to avoid that,

A: Yes
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
A: Windows 7 home premium or ultimate
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
A: Minimum 1TB
7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen you want? If you already want have one and want to use it, mention its resolution and size.
A: 2560 x 1600, 22-23 "
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
A: Between 7 and 8.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
A: No, it will be done by an assembler but i know how to assemble a little bit

14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A: QUESTIONS:-
1. Is i5 sufficient or i7 necessary.
2. I prefer NVIDIA over ATI. So are any ATI cards better than gtx 560 within the 15000 Rs. range.
3. I don't require much sound so i hope an extra sound card is not necessary for me as it will be included in the motherboard?
4.Is DELL better or SAMSUNG
5.Please include the required amount of cooling sytems which suits my budget.
6. I require Overclocking but for that do i need good cooling system or is it a myth?
I fyou think that money is being wasted in any of the components please let me know its valuable replacement. I mean you make a completely new config based on my budget
