[FONT=&]As required, I have answered the questions :
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.')[/FONT][FONT=&]
Ans: The purpose of the computer is to EDIT Video, Audio and post production of Still Photographs. A number (10 / 12 nos.) of RAW photos captured in 14 bit or higher RAW format would be simultaneously opened and edited. In this process, software like Photoshop CS 6.0, Lightroom 4.0, Illustrator CS 6 etc. would be used simultaneously. Apart from this, Adobe Audition and other sound editing software and video editing software viz. Adobe Premier Pro would be used.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: My overall budget is Rs. 25,000.00 which can be extended slightly.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Don’t know now.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 professional.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: At least 1 TB. SATA 3 / 6 GBPS
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 want to buy a monitor of at least 21 inches which must show colour depth with full fidelity. I must see the colours on monitor which should be same as that while I get a print of the photographs or see the video played in DVD players (not only in PC DVD players).[/FONT]
