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: Need to play latest games and Video and Image Editing (Not too heavy)

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 70- 85k onwards

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Nopes

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 2 TB

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 a 24"inch would be ideal or whichever fits the budget.

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: I want an entire rig.

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Next Month

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Assembler is a friend.

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: I live in Mumbai very close to Lamington Road. If buying online is better and cheaper and earlier than I don't mind.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I would like to use the system for the next 3-5 years without any major costly change.

Please look at my signature. replace corsair PSU with Seasonic and you are good to go. you can take 24" monitor if u want.
can also save money by buying some cheap cabinet (if you are okay) and can spend that in HD or SSD

K-series is overclock able motherboard. As you have mentioned you are not planning to overclock, go for the non-K.

^^ Most of the (I think ALL but not sure) Z170 Motherboards have had their BIOS updated to a version where the non-k i5s and i7s can be over clocked.
