Hey guys,
My friend was building a computer. Thought I'd ask for some advice.
Q: What is your budget?
1. 40K
Q: What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)
None
Q: Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)
1. Monitor - Phillips 19" (Serves him well so not interested in getting one.)
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 - AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
2. Motherboard - Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3
3. GPU - MSI 5770
4. RAM - Gskill Ripjaws 1333 DDR3 4GB Kit
5. SMPS - Corsair VX550
6. HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1 TB.
Total comes to around 38,500/-
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
Will be buying keyboard,mouse locally as well as good quality case. Rest no upgrades for around 2 years.
Q: Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
Mostly Online Purchase.
Q: Would you consider buying a second hand hardware from the TE market
1. No.
Q: What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
1. Gaming
2. Browsing
3. Download rig, 24x7 operation
4. Watching HD movies
Q: Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
Will like to buy a board with eSATA, plus USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0.
Q: If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
FPS,Strategy,RPG.
Q: What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
1. Gaming - 1440x900
2. Desktop - 1440x900
Q: Are you looking to overclock?
1. No
Q: Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
1. Windows 7 64 bit
2. Linux - Ubuntu
-He'll be buying this PC first week of October. He will be mostly doing online purchase since most of the hardware mentioned is unheard of here. The problem is that wont the shipping cost a lot? He lives in Cuttack, Orissa.
-Will it cause any problems with the after sales service if I get stuff online?
-I know about everyone's aversion to Asus but thats the best board with USB 3.0 and Sata 6Gb I could find for that price.
Plus it has 2 x PCIe 2.0 x16.
-Also I choose to go with the 5770 since anything above that at the specified resolution is an overkill imo.
-I'd also like to know the Intel alternative.
Cheers.
