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'm an architecture student, and I'll be using Autocad, 3ds max, photoshop etc. My brother being a gaming buff would like to play games like GTA 4, NFS series etc. While we're both away, my dad's going to be using the PC for just internet, watching movies, listening to songs etc.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:45K. I'm willing to extend it to 50K.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:Not an expert, but I would like to try overclocking, yes.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:Windows 7 prolly, and I'd like to dual boot occasionally with variants of linux as well.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:I've already got a 500GB internal AND an external, so I won't be needing any more.
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: 21" would be nice I think. I'm not too sure about screen resolutions, so anything which is good for 3d, gaming, movies etc.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans:Hard disk.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans:Very soon. Within a week at most.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:I've not done it before, but I want to try.
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:I live in Kerala. I'll try to source stuff locally, but I'm open to buying online as well.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:Nothing much, except that this is going to be our second PC after 7 years (yes you read that right
)..so its pretty special.
