The Last Puff
Apologize for this long and well to some repetitive post. But I want a personalized PC suiting my needs and well as I have been somewhat out of sync with the new releases, I would really like your suggestions.
Thanking you guys in advance.
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: HD Movies, Excel, Internet, Music
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
A: Yes.
3. What is your MAX budget?
A: 30,000. Would like to go lower, but this is the max. Please keep it as low as possible.
4. Planning to overclock?
A: No.
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
A: Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
A: 500GB minimum.
7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen you want?
A: Full HD. Looking at 22” if it fits the budget.
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: 7/10
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
A: I will be assembling it.
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
A: Mid - October.
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
A: Not exactly. Though won’t upgrade for another 3 years or so.
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
A: A-Z. Need Everything.
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
A: No. Components should be locally available in Ahmedabad.
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A: I’ll list them out here. Note : Very important.
1. It’s a home PC so it should be energy efficient, quiet. Small form factor, slim tower(Not necessary) would be preferred but not at the cost of upgradability.Should be good looking.
2. Want a discrete graphics card so that I can play some casual games.
3. The picture quality of the LCD should be good.
4. Need a wireless keyboard and mouse.
5. Strictly decent speaker set-up(meant not too expensive, but don’t want Intex either).
NOTE : I want the components that are known for it’s reliability, coz I won’t be there at home, and I don’t want components to start failing as my parents and sister will be using it as they won’t be able to run around for a replacement. Heck they won’t even what went wrong.
