Hey guys, I'm planning on upgrading my computer and I needed some help.
The primary purpose of the computer will be University related activities ( CSE student) and development. Currently I'm dabbling with android development but I will probably branch out into other areas in the future. The occasional media consumption as well. I will not be playing any games on this computer.
1. Budget: ~50k (No fixed budget. I'd prefer to keep it as limited as possible. Basically within 40-60. I'd prefer to keep it below 50 though)
2. Existing Hardware (Parts I want to keep are underlined)
· CPU - I5 - 4590
· Motherboard - ASUS B85M-G
· RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 Bus
· Hard Drive - 2 x Western Digital Black 1 Terrabyte
· GPU - N/A (Don’t want/need one atm)
· PSU - Generic
· UPS - N/A
· Casing - Generic
· Monitor – 19 inch Dell
· Keyboard - Generic
3. Looking to buy
· Monitor – 2 * Dell 21.5 inch IPS Monitors (I’d like an IPS display, not sure on Dell though) 20k
· UPS - PowerGuard 800 VA UPS 3.5k
· UPS - Antec VP500PC EC 500 Watt 3.5k
· Case - Deepcool D-Shield 2.5k
· Ram – 4 * G.SKILL Ripjaws (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 Bus (Adding two Extra)
· SSD - Adata 256 GB SSD 9.5k
· Some good ergonomic, reliable, typing keyboard
· Decent generic 2 for 1 speaker set
Those are the components I’m looking at. Please suggest alternatives to the items that I picked that would better serve my purpose / be more cost effective. Also I need some advice on the two components that I am completely undecided on.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Extra question, will a 800 VA UPS be enough to run this rig + some extra peripherals (speakers, router, laptop/DSLR charger )
