Broken In
1. 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: I am a videographer and a photographer. I will be doing extremely heavy video editing, post processing, color grading, correction and Photo editing. Applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro and Color Grade will be used extensively and usually will need to be open in parallel. I am currently using a Dell Inspiron 15R laptop and it is unable to handle this load and that's the only reason I am moving.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: Including a 27 inch IPS monitor, I am willing to spend 80k, and push it to 1L if absolutely needed.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: 7 - 64bit
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 250gigs. I have all the external hdd space I need already.
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 am considering the AOC I2757FH IPS Monitor. Is this a good choice? I need a 27 inch IPS.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Mouse and Keyboard not needed. UPS required.
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: I have not assembled before, but I am planning to give this a shot.
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: Prefer Online.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I need loads of RAM. From my experience, 8GB doesn't suffice. Feel free to suggest 16GB or more.
