Broken In
i am a little tight on budget, but my pc(gigabyte ga-g31m-s2l, intel c2d 7300 2.66gh, zion 800 1gb, seagate 160gb sata) which is 5-6 years old started malfunctioning. that's why i am thinking of a update right now. i originally planned on waiting a few more months to increase my budget. but i need it right now. so pls help.
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:high end games like COD BO, crysis 2, dark souls, mass effect 3(i am not going to play them right now, I'll do so after buying graphics card later). applications like autodesk maya,downloading and watching movies etc. mostly i read eBooks. i love fantasy novels.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:19k. no more.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:no.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:windows 7 64 bit. i have windows 7 32 bit right now.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:500 GB.
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:no. i have a samsung 17 inch crt. resolution 1024x768.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans:monitor, keyboard, mouse, ups, dvd writer.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans:mahalaya. next Monday.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:my elder brother will do it. he might not agree to though. so it could be an assembler too. so keep that under consideration.
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.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:i don't want to buy the graphics card right now. i want to buy a low end 2 gb card(NVIDIA GeForce GT520 2 GB) soon though. i will start the games then. so suggest a good psu(if it lasts 1 year without problem, thats enough. i will be able to buy a good one by then.) considering that.
i want to buy i3 2100, ddr3 1600-4 GB. so suggest a cheapest possible motherboard(i was thinking of Intel DH61WW) with integrated graphics which at least supports those. i want to buy a Intel extreme(a high end one) as soon as my budget increases.
i want to do a step by step upgrade(i mean buy cheap a which supports cheap b, then buy expensive a2 which supports cheap b and discard cheap a. then buy expensive b2 which supports expensive a2 and discard cheap b, e.t.c.).
