A:Basic usage along with light gaming(will add gfx card later)
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:26k , 28k if necessary but not a single penny extra
4. Planning to overclock?
A:No
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
A:Win 7 Ultimate 64bit
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
A:500gb
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:Already bought a monitor -->Dell ST2320L 23" Wide LED
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:his 4

A:him...no i guess , but i'll assemble
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
A:tomorrow
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
A:Yes...he clearly mentioned that he don't want to upgrade his processor and motherboard for at least 3-4 years
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
A:speakers,monitor,graphic card, ups and no gaming accessory required
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
A:will be buying from Nehru place, SMC international
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A:motherboard will be crucial part here.Though he is not inclined to intel or AMD, he'll go for any one which fit the spot.I suggested him a x6 confiuration as below:
AMD Phenom II x6 1055T @7.8k
Gigabyte 880g UD3H @ 5k?(dunno the exact price of this mobo)
Gskill/Corsair 2*2gb @ 2.2k
CM elite 430 @ 2.5k
WD Cavier Blue 500gb @ 1.8k
PSUthis is the main problem.Since he wont be buying online, the PSU stock in nehru place is crap.SMC is only selling CM PSUs.Other shops are not that reliable, will give them a try though
Logitech KBM combo @ .5k
