Hello,
Am finally upgrading my desktop after 11 years - in a way complete new build. Pls find my build proposition in attachment. Current configuration is without monitor and graphics card, pls do suggest them as well.
My existing graphics card went dead long long ago. So integrated graphics has been my savior all along without games.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for.
Mostly browsing, office work, very occasional gaming (Mostly into shooters and action adventures like Hitman, Red dead redemption, GTA etc.,). Also should be able to play old games from 2002-2018 as well in similar genre. I don't upgrade my PC usually. Would like my system to be capable to play latest and greatest at decent quality. No need of Ultra high settings.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
My budget is 1500USD including graphics card and monitor. Can go 200 USD more if really required
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
India
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
We can't be expected to scour the internet on your behalf, chasing down deals in your specific country... Again, help us, help YOU.
I will search it locally, or various parts from different online websites
5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
Intel processor only as it has been extremely reliable for me all these years. Will need to buy a reliable graphics card that will stay tight for few years at-least as my earlier radeon went dead within few years without even 10% use in games. Am preferring Intel Arc770 due to its price. Pls suggest any alternatives as well. Budget for it is maximum 400-450 USD as it will cross 500-550 USD in indian price.
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Entirely new build except for existing HDD.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
No overclocking needed for my use
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
this time, at-least 1440p. I have BenQ G222HDL as of now. Will need a good jump.
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Note that it is usually not cost or time effective to choose your build more than a month before you actually plan to be using it.
I have been researching for more than 2 months and decided on some config. Will build immediately if this is fine
10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
Only OS and office.
