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: 80% involving Animation tools and Internet based work. 15% Gaming 5% Movies. Planning on running all the games that I can get my hands on but I don't necessarily need all the clocks and bells enabled (Although it will be a plus). Applications are GPU and CPU heavy.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 70-90k Extendable to 100k at most.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: I would like that option open although I live in a place with hellish temperatures during summers. And unfortunately no AC.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: 7 Ultimate and then probably upgrade to 8.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 750GB /1 TB is more than enough but 7200 RPM preferred.
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: Planning on getting a Ultrasharp monitor from Dell 24".
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Not applicable.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: First or second week of March.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I did quite a lot on my school days but its been 5 years. So probably gonna try myself first and then gonna hire a assembler if needed.
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: Kolkata. Open to Online, Offline both.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Was planning to buy Alienware m18x but decided against it for the moment as my laptop is almost dead and I need a solution pronto.
Feel free to put your views and thoughts. Although I am new to the forum, I was a old regular digit reader. But as usual when you get business and work to do, time is scanty. Looking forward to fellow digitizers comments and configurations.
