Ans: MS Office, heavy Web Browsing, Music (continuous in background), Video including untouched full hd bluray clips. rare light video editing like saving from one format to another, putting a watermark etc. No games.
2. What is your overall budget?
Ans: Minimum.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 / 8.1, will update to Windows 10
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1 TB (that looks cost effective)
6. Do you want to buy a monitor?
Ans: Already have 20inch but give options for 21/22/24 FHD
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Speakers

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Yes to both.
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: Lucknow. local preferred. (open to buy from online also only if it is very good deal)
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Kindly suggest UPS also. CPU decided on Intel i3 based (he has used only intel cpus and wants to use this for quite long as using his current one for some 8-9 years), RAM 8GB (he uses multiple tabs in chrome / firefox etc.). this will be used as simple home PC for long (may be 3-5 years).

keeping in mind all these requirements (and the expected duration of usage 3-5 years), is it ok to go with any AMD config? The system is Usually kept on for some 8-16 hours.
