Hello Gurus,
Need your recommendations for a budget system. My cousin is planning for a career in IT and intends to buy the computer to help him prepare for some industry certifications.
What is your budget?
30 to 40K
What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)
Does not have a desktop just a basic laptop currently but has one 2TB HDD and a 1TB HDD from his past system
Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)
2TB HDD + 1TB HDD
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.
Need your help with this. Whichever (AMD or Intel) fits within the budget and serves the purpose
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
Yes, will upgrade the following within 6 months
Monitors.
Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
Bangalore
and open to online purchase
Would you consider buying a second hand hardware from the TE market
Yes/No
Yes
What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
He needs the desktop to run multiple virtual machines (6/7 VMs simultaneously I am assuming) and GNS3 to help him prepare for Citrix/Vmware/MS/RHEL/Cisco certifications. He is planning on a 2/3 monitor setup (again need your inputs if this would be an overkill to have a 3 monitor setup for this purpose) to play video training on one monitor and work/learn on the other displays.
The displays will be purchased after a couple of months but will start of with a 20 incher. Apart from this main purpose the system will also be used for playing HD movies and browsing.
Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
No preference but needs to fit the purpose
If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
Very rarely
What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
Higher the better
Are you looking to overclock?
Yes/No
No
Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
Windows with virtual machines running linux/windows servers
