Re: New Config for Diwali @ 30k max - already have PSU & GPU
Please answer the questions in the Thread *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-compon...new-pc-help-answer-these-questions-first.html and post it here.
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 use the computer mainly for Gaming.Other activities include Media Transcoding using applications such as Handbrake, Video Editing for Personal uses and Software Programming using IDE's such as Visual Studio, Dreamweaver & Photoshop.I play First person & third person shooters, Racing Games.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:
My Budget is Rs30,000
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:
Yes, if the components fit it in the budget.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:
Windows 7 (maybe Windows 8) and Ubuntu.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:
Since Budget is a concern and HDD prices are high I could go in for a respectable size like 320gb and above or use the 2 40gb ATA HDD's I have in RAID provided it wont bottleneck - I need an opinion.
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:
I want to purchase a 20" 1680x1050 monitor as it will better suit my Graphic card and future cards, since gaming at non native resolution on 1080p monitor will distort the gfx.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans:
Graphic Card - GTX 460
Power Supply Unit - Rosewill Stallion 500Watts
8. When are you planning to buy the system?

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:
I have built a Desktop before, but I do not know about Cable Management & Airflow
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 Goa and I would like to purchase it over the internet as its cheaper compared to the local Dealers. If the rates don't vary much, Ill buy it locally.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:
I will also needs peripherals such as :
a. Keyboard and a 5 button mouse
b. UPS
c. 2.1 or 4.1 Speakers
d. Spike Guard (I have Powersafe in mind)
Optional :
e. CPU Cooler
f. TV Tuner Card
I prefer to have a 2x2gb memory for dual channel instead of 1x4gb for greater bandwidth.Heat & Noise should be low hence a good Cabby with proper airflow, should be durable
