lakshn

Right off the assembly line
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.')

Will be using this PC for mostly for s/w development purposes (occasionally for games like fifa 12, I don't play high end games)
Not planning an h/w upgrade for the next 2 years.
VMs - Windows Server 08, Ubuntu 12.10.
Applications: Adobe PS


2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 50k - 55k

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No


4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 / Windows 8 with Ubuntu dual boot


5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1.5 TB HDD


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: Yes. 23" LED Full HD monitor
I already have a LG 20 inch monitor, but it does not have an HDMI port.
Will be using these two as a dual monitor setup.

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers


8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: in 3-4 weeks


9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Will be using an assembler for building this


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: Chennai. Will source stuff from Ritchie street. However if online prices are competitive, I'm open for buying from online stores.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Yes. I'd like the case/motherboard to be free of rust. Had issues with my existing PC due to rusting of PSU fans and CPU cooler fans.
Open to any suggestions for keeping the PC rust free.

For running multiple VMs simultaneously or for running intensive applications inside VMs
which requires more cores then fx8150's 8 cores would be better else i5 3550 is fine.
