Hello!
I'm trying to assemble a new PC. I'll answer the required questions first, and if I feel anything's left out,I'll mention that later.
This is my current Configuration:
AMD FX4100
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
Corsair Value-Select 8gb RAM DDR3
WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Zotac GTX 750Ti GPU.
UMAX 700W PSU (AD5-82045N) with the following current rails:
3.3V- 45A, 5V-40A, 12V-40A (I've always felt that the PSU isn't a good one, I couldn't even find it online. The shopkeeper made me buy this 3 years ago, when I assembled this Rig, but I never felt content with it. Views on the PSU are highly appreciated!!)
These are my Proposed Upgrades:
CPU: Intel i5 6402P Rs. 12,810
M/B: MSI B150 PC MATE Rs. 7440
RAM: GSkills RIPJAWS V 16Gb (2x8GB) Rs. 7800
Cooler Master B500(v2) Rs. 3500
Circle CC839 Cabinet. Rs. 4200
I have these ready in my cart @ mdcomputers.in, with those prices and its total comes to Rs. 35750. (Looked all over the internet, this was the best deal I could find)
Now the 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:
My Prime Purpose is Android and Web Development.
I'll be using Androd Studio, IntelliJ Idea, PHPStorm, Pycharm(small Scripting only).
With Android Studio, I'll be using multiple android Virtual Devices(This is the main reason for assembling a new Rig).
I also am a casual gamer, Assassin's Creed, GTA, Tomb Raider, NFS, Far Cry, Skyrim, Fallout (Yep, AAA and non-fps titles for the most part)
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: I have 35k. I only want CPU, M/B, RAM, Cabinet and if need be, PSU. I can at max go to 38k (I'm actually trying to save enough for an extra 1TB hard drive, one can never really have enough Disk Space).
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Nope, no plans at all.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: I currently have a Dual Boot with Windows 10 and Ubuntu GNOME 16.04. I plan to keep this as standard (Although I'll probably shift to Arch-Linux soon). The main thing is, Dual boot with Windows and one Linux Distro.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: I have 1TB internal and a couple of external 1TB drives. Not necessary to get a hard drive I'll get one if I have money left.
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 have an Acer 21" Monitor with 1080p resolution, I'll be using that only.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Hard Drive, Monitor, Keyboard/Mouse, Please suggest if I can reuse the PSU too!
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Within next 15 days itself.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I'll be assembling it myself, I have assembled 2 Desktops before.
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: I live in Chandigarh. I'm more than comfortable buying online (I actually prefer it!).
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Please suggest me about the SMPS, that's my main worry, If I can save a couple bucks with the SMPS, I'll put them in a Hard Drive or a better processor.
Also, If Possible, please tell me where I can sell the old configuration (local/online), Thanks!
