First of all, History::ashamed:
Intel P4 2.4GHz, 786Mb of RAM, Nvidia Gforce FX 5200 [256mb], on some AOpen motherboard, Samsung SyncMaster 550v 14". Storage doesn't matter but its 320+80+80GB internal +1TB external.
That config is more than 6 years old. Anyways i'm more into consoles than PC. And you cant even possibly think that i'm keeping any of this. [of course other than the 1TB}
Secondly, Requirements:
It has to be Future Proof for atleast 3-4 years. And should be able to handle the following smoothly:
Photoshop + other design tools [nothing 3d though]
HD Playback and encoding.
Video Editing and conversion.
And even better if it could multi-task all of the above.
Gaming, all on high settings.[Last game my PC rejected was FEAR. So, i have lots of games to explore]
What am i looking at:
As mentioned above i'll be using this setup for another 3-4 years, so i'd love if i could get DX11+sata6+USB3.0+eyefinity [don't even know what eyefinity is]
I would also love i7 930 or something. With 4GB of RAM
20"/21.5"/22" FullHD Monitor.
1TB HDD [Something fast, atleast 7200] or maybe a 160gb[fast one for OS] + 1TB WD green [or any other slow kind for storage]
For cabinet i'm looking at Cooler Master Gladiator 600 but can go cheaper if needed.
Wireless Keyboard n Mouse. [have lots of typing to do so should be comfy and none of those gaming mouse n pads]
No requirement for Speaker as of now but will throw in 2k Altec Lansing 2.1 if budget allows.
SMPS and cooling as required by the system.
No plans for Overclocking as of now.
Finally, Budget:
60K is MAX, stretched it from 50.
I'm open for online purchase but would prefer local purchase in Pune.
And i can wait 15 days or so if 'something' is coming out or the prices are dropping.
I know what i'm asking for is too much on such a tight budget, well thats why i'm here in the first place: Looking for Advice.
So, Thank you for reading and Thank you very much for replying.
