One of the friend was looking for config suggestion, I recommended him this forum. I dont know why but he is unable to post anything. No new thread allowed, may be because he just registered with forum. Anyways ... as per his request, I am post this on his behalf.
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 am a blogger and I do new experiments daily on my PC. There is ample of multi-tasking done on my PC. At a time the tasks which are open on my PC are as follows: There are near about 20 tabs open in both Firefox and Chrome browsers in which different sites are open. Photoshop, AutoCad, Stock market related softwares like ODIN DIET works simultaneously and along with this all Microsoft OFFICE and Outlook are also running. May be some time along with these FULL HD Movie of 1080p is also being watched. Sometimes Microsoft Virtual PC is running an OS like xp or win7.It is not the case that these tasks are always running whenever I am working, but possibility is such that these tasks may be required to run simultaneously.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 35,000 (+/- 5k)
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Win 7 Ultimate or win 8.1(WIN 10 if it is going to be launched in near future. )
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1TB or less
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 have heard a lot about Dell S2240L, if some new model better than this has arrived in market of 22 inch size with 1080p or more resolution then please tell me otherwise this is ok for me. Is there some other model like this which is a bit less glossy(reflective)?
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Keyboard, Mouse, Speaker, DVD RW,
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Within 1 week
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I have an assembler friend.
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: Ahmedabad, Local + Online shopping is fine.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Yes
My work requires too much speed, it matters the most. Computer should not get slow or should not hang either if it runs for 24x7 then too. For this purpose I need a system which runs with SSD.120 or 128 GB SSD is OK for my work to run smoothly I suppose. Operating System will be installed on SSD so it will work faster. Sometimes I need to load another OS on virtual pc for testing so I will also install virtual pc on SSD.
I am not a computer geek but I think I need atleast 8 GB RAM. A RAM which gives top performance. 4x4 dual channel will do good for me.
Please suggest CPU of intel only if possible, I had bad experiences with AMD, so I am not comfortable with it. CPU should be of quad core or more cores.
Are there such Motherboards available in which there is inbuilt graphics with HDMI port which are compatible with the above mentioned softwares and does not clash with them. If it is available then well and good otherwise suggest a cheap and good quality graphics card, as I dont want to play games at all.
Suggest me a best PSU which should work best for my needs
Computer should compulsorily support USB 3.0 and Motherboard or Graphics Card should compulsorily have an HDMI port
I think 35000 is a bit low budget for the specs which I require but this is not a gaming pc so I think it is possible. If budget is low than I am ready to drop 1 TB hard disk which I will purchase afterwards and I can buy a local cabinet to save money. I can also buy a single stick of 4 GB RAM instead of two sticks which I can buy in near future. But I cant compromise with performance and speed and my work should not suffer because to it.
CPU stock cooler will be OK or will I need some more?
I need to use this computer for atleast 5 to 7 years and earn my bread with this PC so please suggest a PC which is future proof. In near future I am going to buy 2TB hard disk for this system and also attach a DVD writer to it. Suggest a PSU which can handle these future upgrades.
Atlast, thank you in advance as I think this is too lengthy to read. But I am in need of an answer and I am sure this forum is the right place with right people.
