Need Help - New Gaming/Entertainment PC - Build from Scratch - Budget 40-45k
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: Should be able to smoothly play the latest games (Max Payne, Assasin's Creed, Witcher) at high graphics
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 40k (Can extend it to 45k)
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: In future. Not right now.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 (No need to include it in budget)
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 500GB. Does it make sense to look at SSDs for OS and games alone make sense ? Should be strictly within budget.
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. Not sure about the resolution. Anything that makes the experience good at full HD is fine.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Don't have anything.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: ASAP
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: No. Will be using 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: Salem, TN. Open to shop online or from Chennai.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:
Open to both AMD and Intel processors. Overclocking is only for future use if at all the system slows down or something. Not planning to change the system for atleast 4 years. Does it make sense to go for an unlocked processor for future overclocking or should i just get a normal processor?
Open to all suggestions
