At the outset, let me say that I am very happy to see this forum and must admire all the persons who are keeping this invaluable forum running. An excellent forum indeed. Going through various threads has really improved my knowledge and has prompted me to further look into details / specifications from the net.
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: Raw pic editing, photoshop, handycam / camera videos editing, resizing and burning dvd's (amature only), ripping music n video dvd's, watching hd movies, downloading audio / video files from net
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:Rs. 55,000 + 5000 (max)
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:NO
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7, home premium, 64 bit
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:SSD - 60GB, HDD - 1TB
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, 1920x1080
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: keyboard, mouse, speakers, webcam
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: in this month
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: no, will be built by an assembler
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: Noida, yes will buy from Nehru Place, may buy from on-line too
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I have gone through many threads on this forum and have thought of following
a. Dell ultrasharp U2312HM IPS or U2412M IPS or AOC i2353 Ph/Fh
b. 2 x 4 GB RAM
c. 60 GB SSD (for booting win 7 and other application programs)
d. HDD - 1 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA III, 32/64MB cache (for data)
e. MOBO definitely USB 3.0 ( e-sata / firewire if possible)
Highly confused about which cpu to prefer. maybe AMD APU's or Phenom II 960T or i5-2400.... and a gpu best suited for my needs
In future i wish to connect tatasky STB to PC for recording as well as connect my pc to my sony HT for audio. (so tv tuner / video capture and sound card ?? as future extension).
I wish to buy psu and case keeping in mind likely future extensions.
UPS & Windos license are also to be bought in this budget.
I would like to buy robust, long life components and want to keep my pc running for 4-5 yrs
thanks in advance.
