Looking for a new PC in Delhi. Budget - 60-65k
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run?
A. Gaming and productivity. I run a lot of web design tools like photoshop, dreamweaver. I would like to be able to play current generation games like Crysis, assasin's creed, mass effect preferably at high [if not ultra] settings. Should be able to run games coming out in the next 2-3 years at medium settings.
Some of the games I play are memory intensive text based simulators, which have no fancy graphics but require a decent amount of memory to run fast.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
A. 60-65k. Can't push it more than this since original windows 7 would anyway entail extra investment.
3. Planning to overclock?
A. Not a priority
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
A. Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
A. 1 terabyte preferred. Would do with 500gb. I am keen on having a 90-120gb SSD for operating system and latest software and games while everything else can dumped on the larger hard drive.
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want.
A. I would like a 22in full HD monitor
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
A. Keyboard, mouse, UPS, speakers
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
A. Now.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
A. I am fairly experienced with computers but havent built one from scratch yet. I am willing to try it out, or pay a reliable assembler to assemble it for me. I don't want to sign an AMC with an assembler though as I'll probably be able to troubleshoot problems myself.
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
A. New Delhi. Would buy locally from any place in delhi that you recommend. I am open to the idea of buying components online.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
A. Reliability matters to me as I will be using this machine for my web design work and I usually don't have the time to go keep reparing problems. I am preferably looking for a power supply which is reliable and allows for future expansion [suppose I want to upgrade to a better graphics card etc]. A fancy case is not a priority - it can look utterly plain but it should have enough space [especially to attach another hdd], good wire management, cooling and ventilation.
