This is for my friend. He is upgrading from his 4+ year old system, but at a very limited budget of 15k, so requires only CPU, Motherboard and RAM. Here is are my answers to the standard questions:
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 for CAD applications (Solidworks, AutoCAD, ProE and the likes)
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: INR 15,000.00
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Win7
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Existing HD
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: Existing Monitor
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: HD, Monitor, Cabinet, PSU, KB/Mouse
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: First week of April
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Yes, by me
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: Vellore/Chennai. Will purchase at Chennai/Online
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: As I already said, only CPU, Motherboard and RAM is required. 2GB will suffice for now, can purchase additional RAM later.
