While chalking out my upcoming Sandy Bridge based rig, my brother suggested me go take the views and suggestions of other people as well so as to get an alternate idea. So I'm here to seek your help.
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: Mid-range Gaming.
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but
offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
A: Yes, I am.
3. What is your MAX budget?
A: Strictly below Rs. 55K. However I shall be really glad if it is configured for Rs. 50K only.
4. Planning to overclock?
A: Maybe, but I am not a hard-core OC'er but do some mild OC'ing.
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
A: I have genuine Windows 7 Ultimate and I'd be using that.
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
A: 500 GB.
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: I want a Full-HD 1080p monitor with screen sizes ranging from 21.5" to 23", whichever suits the budget. I already have the BenQ E2220HD (~ Rs. 8500 at a local store) as an option in my mind.
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: Maybe 6 or 7 (Uncertain)
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
A: Depends on availabilty of time for me. If I get time I'd assemble it out myself, otherwise an assembler would do it.
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
A: Last week of this month. By the way, is there anything new launching within this period that suits my needs?
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
A: Yes, as this PC would be used for at least 3 more years
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new
rig? If yes, do mention.
A: Yes, I don't need speakers and UPS as well.
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/
states?
A: I live in Lucknow, but if really necessary I can go to Delhi or Chandigarh to shop for components. Also, I don't have any problem in buying online.
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A: I want a good looking yet a value-for-money cabinet. Also, I want to include a good backlit keyboard and a good mouse (mainly for FPS games).
Thanks.
