2. Q: What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)
Laptop
3. Q: Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)
Nothing
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 - AMD Athlon X2
2. Motherboard - any compatible mobo
3. GPU - Looking for a good onboard solution with HDMI (if possible)
4. HDD - 500 GB WD Green
5. Monitor - 16.5in +
6. Cabinet - Some low end Coolermaster
7. ODD - something reliable here
8. K/B + Mouse - Basic Wireless Combo
9. PSU - Again something reliable but under 2k
10. RAM - 4gigs of Corsair VS
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
1. No.
6. Q: Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
1. Delhi/Noida (If any)
7. Q: Would you consider buying a second hand hardware from the TE market
1. No
8. Q: What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
1. Browsing
2. Watching the occasional HD movie
9. Q: Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
1. Making this rig for my parents so want it as maintenance and trouble free as possible therefore looking for stuff from all the better brands.
10. Q: If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
1. Mostly all the old cRPG's (Fallout, Baldur's Gate, etc)
2. Some of the Old Sim Games (SimCity, Capitalization, etc)
11. Q: What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
1. Desktop - anything
12. Q: Are you looking to overclock?
1. No
13. Q: Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
1. Windows 7 64 bit
2. Windows XP 32 bit
Simple theme of the above rig is a cheap reliable PC for my parents, I'm willing to downsize on a few components if I can get a better brand with better A.S.S and will insist on reliable components rather than the performance oriented ones. Not looking for anything extra as PC will be mostly used to run a few astrology software's and other basic stuff.
Another thing is I want this rig as cheap as possible so please don't advice me to get a better more future proof product. Currently have 4 laptops in my home and 3 of them are 3+ yrs old and the one good one has been donated to my brother. So anything I buy will be faster and a lot better.
TIA
