I need to build a good gaming rig. I will post the requirements using the template to make things easier and have added some additional info / m where appropriate. Would love to hear from you guys what are the best components for the build.
One thing to keep in mind is that the room where the box will be kept will usually have low air circulation. Definitely no AC all the time. I usually keep my PC on 24x7. So the PSU / Cooler would be really important in my case
1. Q: What is your budget?
1. INR 100K - 125K
2. Q: What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)
I have my old PC but I will be discarding most of the stuff baring the below
3. Q: Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)
1. Keyboard - Razor Tarantula
2. Mouse - Razor Deathadder
4. Q: Which hardware component are you looking to buy (component name). If you have already decided on a configuration then please mention the (component brand and model) as well, this will help us in fine tuning your requirement.
1. CPU - Intel (??)
2. Motherboard - (??)
3. GPU - (??)
4. RAM - 8GB Min or 16gb (??)
5. SSD - 250 GB
6. HDD - Barracuda XT 3.5" Internal Kitted Drive 3 TB x 2 ( I dont if you get these in India) or am happy to give with traditional Seagate 1 TB
7. CPU Cooler - My PC would nearly be 24x7 in a normal non-ac room. I do switch on the AC but usually at nights only. So a cooling device would surely be very important
8. Monitor - 21" or higher
9. Cabinet - Smaller the better; but I und with high end rigs it usually is large.
10. PSU - (??)
11. ODD - Will use my existing one. Its a Sony DVD-R + RW. Sufficient for my requirements
12. Speakers - I love a 5.1 as I watch a lot of movies
5. Q: Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component
Unlikely to carry out any major upgrades

8. Q: What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
1. Gaming
2. Browsing
3. Desktop Processing
4. HTPC
5. Download rig, 24x7 operation
6. Watching movies
9. Q: Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
1. Nothing specific
10. Q: If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
1. High end games with usually large graphic / memory requirement
11. Q: What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
