Right off the assembly line
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: FIFA 12, COD MW3 and future titles in the series, NFS latest and future in the series.
I will also be using latest versions of media softwares like PhotoShop and Corel Draw (should be future proof).
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 30 K. can extend a little. (just for the CPU and UPS - already have a 1 TB SATA HDD)
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: Having a 1 TB HDD
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. Dell 20" LED IN2030M - 1600 x 900
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Planning to reuse monitor and HDD
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: by the end of October 2012
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: No. With the help of my friend.
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: In Chennai. Will buy the components in Ritchie street
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I am planning to get 8 GB RAM (will expand it later - are there any reasonably priced mother boards out there so that it can be expanded to 16 GB later?) and a good Intel processor (3rd generation I5 processor. If the graphics on the processor is really good, i can add the graphics card later and save some bucks for now). Is SLI support required for the motherboard?
When coming to graphics card, am really confused. There are so many options available in the market, but not sure which one I want. DDR5 garphics card. Power consumption should also be reasonable.
