@Cilus - can you please confirm.

Convert and post approx budget:)

We can not simply convert sadly. There are other factors such as local taxes/demand/import costs, etc involved.

exactly.ask yourself this.would you ask about advice on pc configuration in a mexican forum & then asking them to simply convert Mexican Peso values to rupee using online currency converter?op will get a much better advice if he ask in a forum like this from his/her own country.after all who here knows what is available locally & at what price in City of San Fernando.

If you are buying from City of San Fernando, then I can't be much help. I don't have any idea about the local pricing of your area.
