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.')

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.

Ans: Building this rig in parts, thus current budget is ~Rs30K (+/-Rs5k) and ultimately upto 40-45K after sometime (means 30 (+/-Rs5k) +10K).

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: simply NO, because he don't know abc of pc hardware and will end up with a fried PC. :mrgreen: Also for overclocking he will call me to overclock his rig :evil: , and then he will compare it to mine rig in terms of performance and thus he will showoff his rig to me :shock:

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: window 7 ultimate 32bit (because turbo c will not work in 64bit)

5. How much hard drive space is needed?

You Dont Need a 64 GB SSD . Just get a 1 TB HDD . Also go for 1 GB Card. But IF HE is Planning on Playing with 2 Monitors , 2 GB would help

as he wants to showoff :lol: , thus a 64GB ssd will serve as a boot drive and drive for other applications, and it will load his system much faster than a HDD

perticularly looking at
ADATA Premier Pro 64 GB SSD Internal Hard Drive (Premier Pro SP900)
Read: 550 Mbps
Write: 510 Mbps Transfer Speed

1GB vs 2GB GTX560 differ by only Rs 2000 :-? so 2GB sounds a better deal to me and a good point to showoff :)lol: gtx520 2GB version can serve as a good showoff but will not give performance)
