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 want to build a low cost media center PC. Not for my personal use. It should be able to play 1080p videos without any problem. I plan to install some XBMC software in it. Some mild gaiming is also required. Nothing new. Some 3-4 year old games are fine.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:10-12k
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:Windows 7
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:160GB or as amuch as I can afford.
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. I plan to use the HDTV.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans:I want only CPU.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans:Next week
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:I will try to assemble it myself, if it is not difficult.
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:Open to both.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:I want the cabinet to be small. Preferably mini ITX cabinet.
No need to run new games. Some old games with 1 or 2 player should be fine (Some old FIFA, Wrestling game, Some car racing game). What if we go with an AMD APU based configuration.
