Hi guys. A friend of mine wants to upgrade his workstation
Kindly suggest a configuration.
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: Primarily Video editing but it will also be used for editing very hi resolution images and 3D rendering.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 150K can be extended if necessary
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 10.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 2 TB at least
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: 24
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Quadro k4200 - Already have
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: in 10 days
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 but can source parts from Delhi
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: will need a fire wire port
This is what he has in mind, nor sure if this is best option.
