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.
CPU: i7 mostly will go for 930 but 860 is not ruled out.
Motherboard not sure ... help needed.
RAM help needed want to go for tripple channel 6 Gig kit
Need second moniter might go for the same AOC moniter or something decent like it.
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
Maybe in a year
Q: Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
Chennai might consider some etailers
Q: Would you consider buying a second hand hardware from the TE market
will depend on warranty etc.. but almost very little chance.
Q: What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
Gaming
Browsing
Download rig, 24x7 operation
Watching HD movies
Coding
Q: Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
Will like Gigabyte MB ... ROG MB are a decent second
Q: If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
I mostly play Eve online with multiple clients running ... will like second moniter partly for that ... also more screen space when coding is nice.
Q: What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
HD 1920x1080 X2
Q: Are you looking to overclock?
Yes .... as much as i can push it with reasonable temps
Q: Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
Windows 7 64 bit Home premium... already own a retail copy my understanding is that i can use that the new machine also as long i dont use it on another machine.
Well i have to add 5 or so PC's for my office so thought this would be a good time to use my current quad and MB for a file server we need. So moving to new solution for myself. Will be adding another HD 5850 in xfire maybe in a few months. Mainly looking at a decent Motherboard and RAM ... either for a core i7 930 or the i7 860. Second moniter is of high importance ... its diffulcut to alt tab in eve especialy in a fight ... plus when working would be nice to have those pesky jboss instance running in a seperate screen so i can debug on the fly ... Fire away ...
