Hello,
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: Secondary computer for family use, emulation if possible xbox/xbox360 using xemu. for learning Tally accounting, office work and some Photoshop/ai programming running local tiny llm like lama.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then please mention.
Ans: very strict 15k and max. 18k-20k if a component say costs 5k but if adding 500 extra can get me better than can do that so it can go upto 18k.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows XP or Windows 7 but if compatibility issue then Windows 10 is fine.
5. How much hard drive / solid-state drive space is needed?
Ans: what fits the budget 128 is also fine.
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: You can suggest a very basic one and will buy that locally, does not include in the budget I mentioned.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy? i.e. which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Keyboard/Mouse and Monitor
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: asap
9. Have you ever built a desktop before? Or, will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Yes, I can assemble
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: I have friends locally who owns PC shop.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Please keep upgrading easiness in mind so when I get a little money that I can spend on it should support it.
OLD:
I need a PC, this can be refurbished mini-pc or not sure what other options are available.
budget is super strict say 10k only but something upgradable later so I can upgrade as I can budget it.
I was looking at B097ZMH24V and many YouTube videos about upgrading it with 2000 INR gfx card to play triple A titles at 1080p
very confused what to buy due to not clear about the usage. I'll say consider it first middle class family PC![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
if you have more questions for me please ask.
any help is appreciated.
