Why Choose a Dedicated PC for Cybersecurity Studies?

• ✅ Powerful CPU: The Intel Core i7-14700 provides 20 cores and 28 threads for multitasking, programming, compiling and CPU-intensive tasks.
• ✅ Hands-on learning: Use suitable virtual machines and practice environments to learn Linux, networking and security tools.
• ✅ Fast everyday performance: NVMe storage helps with Windows startup, application loading and file access.
• ✅ Separate storage: The 1TB HDD adds space for coursework, lab images, project files and backups.
• ✅ Upgradeable platform: Memory, storage and graphics can be expanded when future courses require more resources.
• ✅ Complete desktop setup: Monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse, webcam, Wi-Fi receiver and UPS are included in the stated configuration.

Cybersecurity Lab Tools & Software Setup:

The bundle configuration includes setup of the following tools and learning environments, subject to each product’s current licence, edition, hardware requirements and availability:

• VMware Workstation Pro – virtualization lab environment (personal-use edition/terms as applicable)
• Kali Linux and Parrot Security OS – security learning virtual machines
• REMnux and Metasploitable 3 – malware-analysis learning and intentionally vulnerable practice targets
• Docker Desktop Community Edition – container-based practice environments
• Ollama with selected local language models – local AI experimentation, where system resources permit
• PentestGPT and Fabric CLI – AI-assisted security research and text/log workflows, subject to their current requirements
• Wireshark with Npcap – network protocol and packet analysis
• Nmap and Zenmap – network discovery and scanning in authorised environments
• Burp Suite Community Edition – web application security learning
• Ghidra and x64dbg – reverse-engineering and debugging tools
• CyberChef Desktop – data transformation, encoding and analysis
• Autopsy and FTK Imager – digital-forensics learning tools
• Volatility 3 and Hashcat – memory-forensics and password-auditing tools; some workloads benefit from a compatible dedicated GPU
• Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) with Ubuntu – Linux command-line development environment
• Microsoft Sysinternals Suite – Windows diagnostic and investigation tools
• Visual Studio Code – configured for Python, C/C++ and related development tasks
• Windows Terminal and PowerShell 7 – command-line tools
• Obsidian – offline notes and lab documentation
• Git for Windows and 7-Zip – version control and file utilities

Virtualization note: CPU virtualization settings can be enabled where supported. This configuration uses Intel UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics; NVIDIA CUDA requires a compatible NVIDIA graphics card and is not available on the current integrated-graphics configuration.

Value for Budget & Configuration:

• Designed to deliver a balanced complete desktop setup within the stated budget of under ₹1,00,000.
• Prioritises a strong processor, fast NVMe storage, a large display and the core accessories needed to begin studying.
• Includes custom assembly, cable management, operating-system setup, configuration, diagnostics and performance testing as specified in the service bundle.
• Allows the student to start with integrated graphics and invest in additional memory or a dedicated GPU later, when coursework provides a clear need.

Assembly, Installation & Testing Services:

• Custom PC assembly based on the agreed configuration, with internal cable management.
• Windows 11 Pro installation, activation check, drivers and system configuration.
• Cybersecurity learning-environment and virtualization setup as specified in the order.
• System stability checks, CPU stress testing and performance benchmarking.
• SSD performance testing and multilevel diagnostic reporting.
• Customer handover guidance and support details.

PAID Add-On Upgrade Options:

• 32GB RAM: Recommended when regularly running multiple virtual machines or memory-intensive lab environments. A matched memory configuration should be selected after checking motherboard compatibility.
• Higher-capacity NVMe SSD: Useful as virtual-machine images, software libraries and project files grow.
• Dedicated Graphics Card: Optional for GPU-accelerated workloads such as compatible CUDA applications or heavier GPU-based password-auditing experiments. Select only after checking the exact GPU’s power, size and connector requirements.
• Additional storage or backup drive: Useful for maintaining separate copies of coursework and lab files.

Future Upgrade Path:

Start now: Use the current PC for programming, Linux fundamentals, networking, packet analysis, documentation and introductory virtual-machine labs.

As coursework advances: Upgrade to 32GB RAM first if several VMs must run together. Add a larger NVMe SSD when storage becomes limiting.

For advanced final-year labs: Consider a compatible dedicated graphics card only if the student’s specific tools, projects or research can benefit from GPU acceleration. A graphics card is not necessary for every cybersecurity subject.

Support & AMC:

• Remote support for eligible PsPC customers, subject to published support terms.

Important Notes:

• Open-source, freeware and community-edition tools remain subject to their respective licenses, terms and system requirements. Certain tools may require separate accounts, downloads or additional configuration.
• Bundled software availability and versions may change. The order quotation/invoice takes precedence if any listed item differs from the final agreed configuration.
• The 600VA UPS provides limited backup; actual runtime depends on system load and battery condition. It is not a replacement for a long-duration power backup solution.
• Component brands and models are subject to the final quotation/invoice. Confirm the exact delivered specification before ordering.
• Use cybersecurity tools only on systems you own or have explicit permission to test. Follow your institution’s lab rules and applicable laws.
