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: A desktop for home to carry on with software development and some entertainment. Almost 0 gaming would be done.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 35k. I would be reusing my monitor, cabinet, HDD, PSU(I've a CM 650 Extreme Power Plus. I know about its horrible reviews. But, if it can suffice for me, I can reuse it.), keyboard, mouse, speakers.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 10 Pro with a couple of VMs.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: I have a 1TB HDD and a 120GB Samsung EVO SSD. Will 120GB be sufficient for the OS and some programs?
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 a BenQ G2420HHD (1920 X 1080)
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Monitor, cabinet, keyboard, mouse, speakers.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Within a week. My current motherboard just died.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I would be assembling it myself.
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: Open for both online or offline ( Chennai, Mumbai and Roorkee)
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I was planning for this configuration :
Core i5 6500
Gigabyte GA-H170-D3HP
2 X 8 GB RAM (Models not yet sure)
I guess, I won't be needing a dedicated GPU. If it is really required, I can go with an entry level one like the GTX 950 or even the older GTX 750TI.
Also, can I reuse the PSU?
