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: the purpose will be to listen to music, office works, office work like making documents, presentations, playing High Definition media content, surfing internet and downloading. Besides that I want it for my 6 years old son, although I am not that much inclined to play games but my son likes playing games on computer. So I am not able to make out whether I need a good graphics card or not.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 40,000 (can be extended to 45,000) all inclusive including VAT
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: windows 7 64 bits
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 500 or ITB depends upon the budget what I get
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, 22 inch, and 1920X1080 resolution
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: I want to buy each and every component including UPS.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: two to three weeks
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Have no experience in this matter. Will be done by an 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 live in Delhi and would prefer to buy locally either at Nehru place or at Ashok Vihar.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I don't have any experience in building a desktop and I am total n00b in this matter. I have no idea about which motherboard is compatible with which processor, or whether to go for Intel or AMD or other such basic stuffs but I do not know why I am personally inclined to Intel. After studying the threads in this forum, I have come out with a configuration so check it out and make alterations:
CPU : i5 2400
Motherboard : Intel DH 67 CL B3
GPU : HD 6850 I GB GDDR3(MSI or Sapphire) – As mentioned above, as my son will only play the games so this GPU will be needed or not. Another thing I want to tell that I will not be upgrading my pc for atleast 4-5 years from now. Consider this and make your suggestion in respect of GPU and other hardware too.
RAM : Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4GB or Corsair XMS 3 or value series 4 GB or G Skill RipJaw 4GB (kindly suggest which one gives good value for money)
HDD : Seagate barracuda or WD Caviar Blue, 500 or ITB
Optical Drive : Asus DRW-24 B3ST
Case : CM elite 310 or NZXT Gamma
PSU : Seasonic S12II 520 w or corsair CX500 v2 or GS600, FSP Saga II 500W
Monitor : Benq 222HDL or GL 2250 HM or Dell ST2220 L
KB+ Mouse : Logitech combo MK 200
Speakers: ?????? (I need 5.1, so kindly suggest accordingly in range of 3-5k, the cheaper the better and if the speakers are not able to come within the budget this time than I can wait and purchase it next month. So do not compromise on the hardware stuff as I have to assemble it from assembler)
UPS : ????????
One other thing, please mention the full product details like full in case of RAM Corsair Memory — 4GB DDR3 Memory (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9) as it will make my more particular while shopping and secondly kindly suggest me some alternatives so that when I go for shopping, I should have some alternative if I do not find the desired product. I am not that much comfortable with on line shopping, hence if alternatives are given I will be much happy.
