Right off the assembly line
Hi friends,
I am looking out to purchase new pc, and will appreciate your help!!
1. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that) A:
Run power hungry server applications like Oracle, etc. Normal internet, hd movies etc
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why? A:
Yes
3. What is your MAX budget? A:
Nothing specific, don't think I need to spend more than 40-50k. Looking out for value for money
4. Planning to overclock? A:
No, no need to oc
5. Which OS are you planning to use? A:
Win7 64 bit professional with win xp 32 bit virtualization support as some application are 32 bit only and do not support win7
6. How much hard drive space is needed? A:
1tb
7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen you want? If you already want have one and want to use it, mention its resolution and size. A:
I would like to have hd led monitor as lcd have bad viewing angles and sharpness. Will prefer 20+inch.was thinking of having tv inbuilt rather than having tv tuner card, so that nno need to start pc to watch tv and can have personal tv for me. Open for suggestion if yyou think buying tv does not make sence
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest) A:
7.. but now not in touch with latest trends
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler? A:
Yes, mostly this I will get assembled, unless I see assembler charging me too much.
10. When are you planning to buy the system? A:
My laptop and old p4 not working, need ASAP.. can wait for 1-2 months. Using my mobile for time being... Android is powerful
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations? A:
Yes
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention. A:
I think I don't need to have graphics card.. and that's the main reason for this post. After doing lot of search in Google, I see at this budget people are looking for gaming pc with oc, probably I don't need that.
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states? A:
Mumbai.. ok for online shops, if site is trusted and price are fare.
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary A: _________
I was considering below base configuration
CPU - Intel I5 2400?, I7 is too costly I don't think I need that costly CPU
Motherboard - this is main confusion.. shall I go for z68 or h66/61 is ok?.. would like to have usb 3. Resisting to go for 9k+ mb
Ram - ddr3 1333 or 1600? if it is worth.. need at least 4gb..
Gpu- don't think I need it. If needed, would like to have cheaper Gpu. Or if need arise can buy later (option open with z68)
Speakers- need good speakers, probably 2.1 is fine for me. Need good high frequency sound (treble) rather than bass. Altec lencing? Didn't liked creative speakers... I ball tarang?
Monitor - as mentioned above
Keyboard/mouse.. good quality standard keyboard, mouse
need to connect WiFi-I have WiFi modem, prefer memory card reader
Psu/cabinets- plz suggest - good quality stable ones.
Rest other components standard one - plz suggest like dvd writer etc.
Thanks in advance
