I am going to upgrade my PC Soon (Fingers Crossed) and so I need a suggestion from all my geek friends as I cannot decide alone and need suggestions. I want an OCable Gaming PC within budget, so suggest the lowest you can.
Basically I want to change:
Motherboard
RAM DIMMs
CPU
and
Chassis
This will do as I got my GPU recently (going to review soon!).
I currently have:
Motherboard - MS-7525 (BostonL)
RAM - 2 GB DDR2 (Samsung)
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 3.1 GHz
and
Compaq Stock chassis
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: Crysis 2, Battlefield 3, Dirt 3 all the upcoming titles. Plus, heavy OCing.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:Well, Since I am not planning for a whole configuration, about 18k.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: YES!
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Already have a Segate Barracuda 500GB 7200 RPM
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:No, I have an 18.5 Inch 1366 x 768 Compaq W185q.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Hard Drive, GPU, PSU, Monitor, DVD-ROM
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: As soon as dad will agree i.e. Soon
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Will be done by me, assembled 6 PCs before
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: Live at Kota, Rajasthan and I have no hitch purchasing online.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Keep it as low as possible and I need a OCable Gaming Platform.

Kush
