Hello!
My cousin is looking forward to build an ultra budget PC and has a budget of 20000 (can be slightly stretched if there's no other way)
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: Gaming (FIFA 14, 13), HD Movies, the usual office apps and internet stuff
Games - FIFA 13, FIFA 14, Batman Arkham series
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 20000, can extend a little if absolutely necessary.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Nope
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Window 7
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 500GB
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:Yes, cheapest that would fit the budget. Preferably an 18.5"
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: None
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: End of this month
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Assembler!
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: Lucknow, Also open to buying used components from TD, E or TE.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: The PC NEEDS to handle FIFA 13, FIFA 14 fluently. That's his main requirement.
I did some research and could arrive at this system -
CPU - AMD A4 - 6300 - Rs. 3250
Motherboard - MSI FM2-A55M-E33 - Rs. 3400
Hard Drive - Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB - Rs. 3100
RAM - EVM 2x2GB DDR3 1333MHZ - Rs. 2500
Graphics Card - None
PSU - Corsair VS450 - Rs. 2150
Keyboard + Mouse - Logitech MK200 - combo
Display - 18.5" 1366x768 - Dell E1914H - Rs. 5500
Speakers - None Required
Cabinet - Local - Rs. 700
TOTAL - Rs. 20600
I have a couple of concerns -
1) Will the 8370D in the A4-6300 be able to handle FIFA 13/14 at 768p resolution on high settings?
2) Can I skip the PSU for now and go with a local one since I dont need to add a GPU right now? If I do that, I could probably get faster 1600MHZ RAM's instead.
3) Should he go for a 4GBx1 RAM stick instead of a 2x2 right now?
4) Can someone suggest an alternate build? (Intel Pentium perhaps?)
5) He's open to buying used components (apart from the monitor, cabby, keyboard and mouse)
Please Advise
Thanks!
