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:- Apart from using standard applications like MS office, I will be using the machine for games only. I am getting this rig just in time for Diablo 3, and will be playing that game a LOT. (I played D2 for years and years lol). Apart from that I am a big RPG fan, with recent favorites like Witcher 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Deus Ex HR, Mass Effect trilogy, Skyrim, Metro 2033. I will also play League of legends and Dota 2 on the machine from time to time. I just expect the machine to run everthing I can throw at it for a couple of years, at ultra specs at a decent enough framerate.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:- I guess I am willing to spend around a Lac.
Edit: I think a Lac might not be enough for the rig I want lol.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:- No, stock will do just fine.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:-Windows 7 x64 bit
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:- 1tb will more than suffice.
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:- resolution will be 1080p, screen size around 27inch. I want something which can push a GTX 680/HD 7970 so basically the best or a very good one.
I dont care for the overpriced apple displays though, nor do i want/need the 3d capable ones.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans:- I am using a gaming laptop, so I will basically need everything, including peripherals. The only thing I don't need is speakers.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans:- As soon as possible.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:- While I did build a couple of rigs myself years before, I would much prefer if a professional did the assembly. I can do it if needed though..
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 Goa, and this is partly the problem. There aren't any suppliers here that I know of who sell such high end gear. Perhaps anyone on the forum can enlighten me about such a place? I don't mind buying online at all, just point me in the right direction, flipkart doesn't have most of the things I want.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:I kinda want the rig to be finished by 15th May so I don't miss a second of jumping into D3 with my bros haha. It isn't an issue if it is a bit late than that though. Also, I would be really grateful if someone can tell me a good supplier of PC components in Goa or Bombay who has most of the stuff I want/need, someone who can maybe assemble the whole thing, install windows 7 on it and maybe even ship it to me in Goa! It is okay if the shipping part isnt possible, I can get that done myself.'
Edit:- I absolutely do want either the GTX 680 GPU and the new i7s to be in the rig though
