Hey Guys,
I have a office mate out here, who plays startcraft II after office with his friends. So i need some good, valuable suggestion on deciding his config.
Let me highlight one more thing, this guy is Big Nvidia Fan, as the Nvidia cards perform better in Starcraft Series compared to any Radeon.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
A: Gaming [Only for Playing Startcraft II]
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
A: Yes.
3. What is your MAX budget?
A: 80-90k [Max 1200 Euros] Components price in Germany are little bit higher than India. If possible then refer ALTERNATE or Amazon.de for typical pricings [Translate it with Google Translater]
4. Planning to overclock?
A: Yes, but not straight out of box.
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
A: Win 7 Professional x64. [Need a Genuine OS]
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
A: Need 120GB SSD, as already have 500GB internal.
7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen you want? If you already want have one and want to use it, mention its resolution and size.
A:1920 x 1080. Already have a HD Monitor.
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
A: 6-7
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
A:Yes, will be assembled by me.
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
A: within 10-15 days, after a short Italy trip.
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
A: Of Course Yes.
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
A: Monitor, KB & Mouse, UPS, Speakers, HDD & Optical Drive.
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
A: Stuttgart, Germany
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A: He doesn't want to play any other games except Starcraft II. So before suggesting a GPU, take extra care about the Frame Rates & if possible suggest the GPU with some reviews with Starcraft. Include a Genuine OS as mentioned earlier.
Config Suggested by me.
