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: Browsing the internet with probable downloads of movies and games, gaming with games like Crysis, Half Life and the latest games without really using maximum specs just casual gaming, watching HD movies and casual listening to 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: Rs 30k stretchable by a few Ks
4. Planning to overclock?
A: Not initially maybe later yes.
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
A: Win 7
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
A: Max possible for using the system well
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: Size of the screen should be 20 or 22 in. and max resolution
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: 6
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
A: By an assembler
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
A: In a week.
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
A: Yes
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
A: Don't have any components though may mention that I already have 5.1 speakers for the games and music.
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
A: New Delhi, guess everything is available in NP.
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A: Prefer an Intel configuration preferably i5 if possible unless AMD's price justifies its performance.
I may move the system around the house time and again and may need wifi. Like to keep the option of playing Blu-ray open for now.
Last but not the least if SandyBridge is round the corner say a few weeks is it worth waiting?
