Clueless Noob
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: I plan to run GTA4, LA Noire, Fallout 3 and its subsequent DLC, Batman Arkham City etc.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 45 -50 k max. Need a little head room to buy the peripherals as well in that 50k.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Nope, too chicken to try it and my room is already hotter than hell.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: windows 7 and if god permits some apple os by way of hackintosh.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 2 HD drives of 500 gb each to accommodate the dual OS in future.
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: Yup, wanna buy. 21 inches and 720p and considered standard i think, so that will do.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Everthing will have to buy. My older desktop is 6 years old was was assembled from 18,000 bucks.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: A month or so. Delhi is 2 hours from here. So whenever its cloudy or pleasant I'll goto Nehru Place.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:Never built one. So treating it as an adventure. (potentially a very expensive one i know)
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: Live in western UP. Will goto Nehru Place to buy. Will never buy anything online.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Need a Intel/Nvidia combo only (coz its friendlier to noobs and hackingtosh possibilities.)
Researched a lot. This was one of my earlier builds. But information overload has resulted in a analysis paralysis. This seems like a good computer. If a little away from my budget. Just need a competent machine to run the high end games mentioned above easily i.e. computer shouldn't heat too much. (My laptop groans pitifully when I run Spore on it and heats up so its to hot to touch. Compaq cq62-228dx.) I m cheap and don't care too much about hi def graphics etc. Just needs games to run at medium graphical setting at cool temperature. Also if could you tell me what things would i need if i just ask somebody to bring the components and build it at home. I mean DVi to PCi connectors etc. (i m a complete noob as you may have gathered.)
So basically need a computer that is just good enough. And Intel/Nvidia combination at around 45 k with a ATX mobo (think will be easier to work with), cabinet will good airflow (my room is very hot and i don't like ACs), and components that are easier to handle for noobs.
