Hi,
I am planning to buy a desktop in a few months or so and have shortlisted a configuration.
I will start by the basic questions.
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 am presently working in BPO but thinkling of switching over to IT sector and so have been training to use Networking like CCNA and programming with C,C++ & Java.Also want to run UNIX along with WIN7 and WIN XP.
But at first, I want to play games like FAR CRY,NFSMW,Crysis,Assasins Creed and last but not the least MASS EFFECT SERIES.
I am listing these as these are resource-hungry games.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:I intend to buy in range 30-35k but can extend to 40k if its worth the buy.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:Maybe.But most probably no.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:As told above Win 7, WIN XP and UNIX.And can someone guide me how 32 bit and 64 bit are different and which one would be the best?
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:I would admit I haven't got the idea.
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, and I would ask your assistance in getting the best monitor which provides a visual treat for eyes for above games.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans:Headphones and maybe speakers.My company has already provided those.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans:In probably 4-5 months.Plz, don't laugh.Just starting so want to know what I am buying as I haven't got huge budget.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:No and will be done by me and no 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:I stay at Kolkata but I am looking to buy from Flipkart.Are giving at good price.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:Yes, now comes configuration.

Also not decided about PSU and Heat Sink & Fans.Have to research about it as one forum member pointed out that its very imp. for PC and not to be ignored.
Didn't get very good Optical drives on Flipkart.Can u Suggest something?
And one thing I would like to add.I download lots of movies and music so that will explain the 1TB Hard Disk.Will download a lot.
I have also one small Question.What is difference between a HDD and SDD and why their costs vary?
Sorry for asking so many questions.I know many would frown to see it but please understand have to work on every detail before doing something.
