I am looking to upgrade my years old i7-2600k system.
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: Video/image editing like illustrator, after effects. Streaming. CPU heavy games like arma 3, dcs.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: Budget is 50,000. Can extend to 60k.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Not unless required (i.e. not satisfied with stock speeds)
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 10 home
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Gonna reuse my 256GB ssd and 2tb WD blue
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: Have 24" DELL IPS monitor, but a good 27" monitor recommendation will be appreciated. can be excluded from overall budget for now.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Have a GTX 970, which I will reuse. GFX prices too high now. HDD and SSD. PSU (although mine is 4+ years old now i think and maybe i should get new one).
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: this month (dec 2017)
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Yes, I will build it.
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: Bengaluru
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I am torn between ryzen vs coffeelake. was looking at r7-1700, but i7-8700 is at almost the same range. Please focus on cpu, mb, ram suggestion first. I can get rest of the components later.
