1.1 Introduction:
Building a pc from scratch is a tough job. Today, PC builders are spoiled with such a wealth of
handsome, modestly priced PC cases, mood lighting options, and color-coordinated
components that it's easy to get pulled into a design challenge or passion project when all you
wanted to do was build a simple desktop. To be sure, there's a hot-rodder element here: You
may pay a slight premium for your parts versus buying a pre-built PC. Major PC makers enjoy
economies of scale buying parts in bulk or designing some of their own components that you as
a solo builder can't attain. But most of the time, if you price out the parts for your own build
against the cost of a ready-made system, you should get pretty close.
we as a group interview our fellow batch mate Mahadi who want to build his own dream pc.
Interviewee: Mahadi Hasan
Date: 11/05/2025
In this group picture from the left side in the position 2nd standing Mahadi Hasan we asked him few
question regarding his preference . we asked him Intended Usage & Priorities if he want to use this pc
for mainly for gaming, coding, or both equally. Performance Requirements, Budget, Desired
specifications, Special considerations (portability, screen size, battery life, noise, brand preferences)

1.2 Client PC Requirement Summary
The interview consisted of four key parts: understanding the PC's purpose, desired specifications,
budget limitations, and special considerations.
1.3 Interview Questions and Answers
Q1: What is the primary purpose of the computer?
A1: The client plans to use the PC mainly for gaming and intends to perform basic multitasking like web
browsing, media consumption, and light productivity tasks (e.g., document editing).
Q2: Do you have any specific preferences regarding the components?
A2: The client desires a high-performance graphics card to smoothly handle modern games at 1080p or
higher resolution. They highlighted the importance of a quiet system for extended gaming sessions
Q3: What is your budget for the build?
A3: The client has a strict budget of 70,000 BDT for the entire system, including the monitor, peripherals,
and other essential accessories.
Q4: Are there any special considerations such as portability, screen size, noise, or brand preferences?
A4: Since the system will be a desktop, portability is not a concern. The client prefers a compact case
with good airflow and low noise and is open to trusted, reliable brands.
2.1 Research and Configuration Proposal:
Considering the client’s needs and budget, I researched available components from local and online
sources. The aim was to balance gaming performance with budget constraints while selecting
components that are reliable, compatible, and provide value for money. Tools like PC PartPicker,
StarTechBD, and Ryans Computers were used to compare prices and verify component compatibility.
For this configuration, I chose components including an Intel CPU, NVIDIA GPU, Corsair RAM, and
Kingston SSD to ensure high performance at an affordable price.
