Hi everyone,
I'm planning to upgrade to a new PC and could really use some guidance and suggestions. I’m looking for a solid upgrade that can handle gaming and general multitasking smoothly.
What I’m looking for:
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.' Vague answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work.)
Ans: I will use the pc for working on MS office, watching movies, playing new games like - Forza Horizon series, WWE2K series, Mortal Kombat 1, Street Fighter 6 , Dirt 5 & 6, Call of duty series, Battlefield series, Need For Speed series.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then please mention.
Ans: 50k. Can extend to 60k.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 11
5. How much hard drive / solid-state drive space is needed?
Ans: SSD 1TB
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention the screen size and resolution you prefer. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, then do mention the screen size and resolution of the monitor you have.
Ans: Need a new monitor. 22 inch will be good.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy? i.e. which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: I have two HDDs ( Samsung 320 GB & WD Green 1TB) and 1 SSD ( Crucial BX500 1 TB). So will reuse them.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Within this month - June '25
9. Have you ever built a desktop before? Or, will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: 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: Mumbai. I can buy locally and for speakers, mouse, keyboard, I can check online.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:
I will install Windows 11 in the SSD and my remaining files in the HDD. How much space is needed for the OS? What if I use a smaller capacity storage for the OS or is it advisable to use 1TB storage? Will it affect the PC performance?
Also, please suggest options:
Really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Also, please suggest options:
- A regular wired mouse instead of a gaming one
- A standard wired multimedia keyboard
- Good 2.0 channel speakers
