- What is your budget?
- 60K+ ( can gradually add more components gradually)
- What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)
- GPU - have 1050 ti - but that might be a bottleneck , with current gen hardware.
- none
- Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)
- non worth keeping anything.
- 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 - Ryzen 5700x, may be? , open for 12/16 core cpu suggestion.
- Motherboard - any build to last motherboard, ASUS, gigabyte, etc , will install 64gig RAM .
- GPU - nvidia 3060 or something. ATI is my fave but lacks RTX so might opt for Nvidia only.
- 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
- Core fixed, RAM, HDD, etc can be added gradually over a period of time.
- Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
- Bangalore
- Open to online purchase
- Would you consider buying a second hand hardware from the TE market
- No for Core components. ( later will see for extended peripherals like HDD, GPU)
- What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
- High-end 8k video editing & rendering - 70% usage, mostly as renderfarm node.
- Games - average 15hr per week or so - but top end AAA games. ( only reason to install windows)
- Video/processing rig - 24x5 operation.
- Some code compilation+simulation.
- Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
- Like ASUS - last motherboard lasted 15+ years., Not aware of present market situation. Open to suggestion. No ego, no e-peness attached to me. need VFM & long lasting.
- If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
- BR - fortnite, apex, etc should comfortably run at 200+ fps @1080p.
- Other like witcher 3 , destiny, any game released in next 5yrs should be playable at mind-high specs.
- What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
- Not sure. might get Asus proArt 27 inch display at later stage. or any other 4k display ( preferable 32 inch) - for main purpose. don't mind playing games at 1080p.
- Are you looking to overclock?
- No,
- Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
- For games : Windows 7 64 bit - for games ( if i can use win7 it will be best, as i never able to make myself like next generation, els will get ahemed version of win10)
- Day-to day works: Linux- Lubuntu ,
This is going to stay on for 24x7x365days, Low power rig is preferred (eg - 65-90w CPU ) & As silent as possible.
I will opt for non RGB/disco-lights ( can and will disable RGB LEDs if forced).
This desktop will be placed in a room where someone sleeps as well, so lighting is not preferred at all. only light should come from the monitor screen.
Bangalore - so I have massive dust issues. please suggest for cabinets like keeping this in mind.
I liked this cabinet https://www.electrobot.co.in/product/2669 . but few reviews says it too small to house modern days GPU and it suffocates components.
@SunnyBoi is that true ?
I will definitely look for smallest form-factor. as minimalistic as possible. Finalized
Pricing is +/- 50% flexible - although lower is better.
