Wise Old Owl
So, I am upgrading my old PC, but since I am retaining only GPU, so its kind of purchasing an entire new PC.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.' Vague answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work.)
Ans: I have a variety of mixed workload, which involves heavy gaming (usually play all latest releases), Virtualization, Coding, Browsing (i generally have 100+ tabs), Watching 4k videos/movies.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then please mention.
Ans: Max 80k I am willing to spend, please dont let this go higher
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Yes, on liquid cooling stable 24x7. If boost overclocking possible, please let me know
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Win 10 / 11 + Linux (Will be swapping distros as per project needs)
5. How much hard drive / solid-state drive space is needed?
Ans: Min 512 GiB NVME SSD, PCIe 4.0 preferred
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention the screen size and resolution you prefer. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, then do mention the screen size and resolution of the monitor you have.
Ans: No, I have a Samsung 1440p 144hz + Dell 1080 60hz IPS
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy? i.e. which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: GPU, I already have a RTX 2070 Super, this is the reason I am upgrading.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Within a month, if prices of component are fair locally
9. Have you ever built a desktop before? Or, will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: yes, will assemble 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?
Ans: Bangalore, yes and open to buying online
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I want Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 based system, the more cores the better. Zen3 cores... (Intel seems to be lacking now)
Need a motherboard with : WiFi 6E or WiFi6, Bluetooth 5.0 or 5.1, 5.2. Atleast 2 NVME slots.
Need a case with atleast 4 3.5 inch HDD slot for my existing drives and good airflow. Tempered glass side is appreciated.
I would want to try Liquid Cooling as, Ryzen seems to require it.
Also I would want to keep the idle power consumption as low as possible.
