Hey there,
I am looking for a mini-ITX build as a gift for my dad, as his current pc is now like..10 years old now. I have built several ITX systems before, but never the mini ITX ones.
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: My dad is going to use it for internet browsing, online web based games (nothing fancy, only chess etc.), play music, microsoft office and occasional printouts.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: I am targeting 30k, can extend upto 40k.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 10 x64
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1TB. I would also like to add in a SSD (120 or 250 GB) for windows storage.
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. The current monitor is 19 inch 1440x900. I know its outdated but its good for now.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: The cabinet + all components need to be bought new.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: 2-3 weeks.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Will build it on my own.
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: In India these days, can shop online or offline from nehru place, delhi.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: No graphics card required. I am thinking of giving ryzen system a try this time as I've never played with an AMD system before. Plus its inbuilt graphics processor is much better than intel's, so it should be a better choice.
