Dear All,
I seek your kind help towards the config of my new rig which I intend to purchase somewhere by mid June 2013.
Below I have answered the standard questionnaire template-
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: Primarily towards Gaming and watching Full HD videos+ 3D videos. Games like Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, Tomb Raider 2013, Battlefield 4, Dead Island Riptide, GTA 4, Max Payne 3, Metro Last Light, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Call of Duty Ghosts, Sleeping Dogs, Prey 2 are in my To-Do list.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 55k INR...extendable up to 60k INR max.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Yes, only the graphics card.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 8 64-bit
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: None. Will use my existing ones. Later invest on a SSD.
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 shall be using my AOC LED 42" Full HD 3D TV, resolution- 1920x1080

Ans: Kolkata. Locally- yes. In case not available, I am open for online purchase.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
