Well u can definitely splash in a few hundred bucks more........for thekeyboard n mouse.....

This config will let you do multitasking, gaming n everything u want to do

Take 1x1 GB RAM not 2x512 MB RAM. It's better to save your RAM slots and add 1 GB more RAM when you can afford it.

hey my uncle also needs a new pc for 40k so im posting in this post only

his minimum requirements

cpu:core 2 duo
memory :512 mb ddr2
dvd writer
160 gb sata II hard disk
he already owns windows xp so the pc should be without the os
onboard graphics would do as he'll not play games
will x3000 gma be possible(i.e g965 chipset) in this config
and the last & the most imp thing he wants a BRANDED PC
cuz the last time he had a bad experience with an assembeled one
so plz suggest & also provide a link to the branded pc's website

512MB DDR2 Ram @ 2250/-
Sony DRU-830A @ 2050/-

Man that processor you have just chosen is outdated and inefficient in comparison to C2D. I urge you to go for the config I gave you. If you can afford 26k, then buy Samsung CRT instead of LCD. Thats all I can advice you.

If you can't afford 30k and still want LCD, then save up and buy! Don't compromise - its not worth it!

it costs 11800...

@ all
BTW wat about my config??? Please help me out...

whts the cost of (Hynix or Transcend or Kingston or some good one)512 MB DDR Ram of 333 Mhz or 266 Mhz in Mumbai

M

navino it is a good config, but if you want to play games at good settings, you better invest in a good graphics card to make a full use of your config.
And the RAM prices are higher atleast here in Mumbai, around 2700-2800 for 512MB RAM. Which brand of RAM are you buying? Also, buy a good quality SMPS, I had to remove my working SMPS when I bought a new graphics card, cos it wasn't able to pull the loads.

@navino87
dun go for 80GB sata2 for 2300, instead get Seagate 160 GB sata2 for 2.9~3k or a 250GB sata2 for 3.8k.
And for KB nd MS dun go for Logiteck basic. Get Microsoft basic optical combo for 850/-. MS basic optical mouse is lot better than LGT basic opt mouse.

N

Thanks a lot to every members replied to my post...

I am planning to go for an decent graphics card with this config... What graphics card to go for??? Should i change my mobo? Because D965RY has onboard vdo card...

M

How much can you afford for a graphics card? Nvidia 7600GT would be pretty decent for your config IMO. But, wait for what experts say. But, it would be a lot easier if you can mention your budget for the card.

N

how much will a decent graphics card cost?? The final config that i mentioned comes to Rs.33400... n the balance is Rs.6600...If necessary i will try to increase my budget

M

7600GT I mentioned will be approx 9K. If you need to keep your budget of 40K, then there's 7600GS for 6.5K approx. But, I feel that will be below par for your rig.
There are options from ATI too, but I am not so sure about their prices.
Have a look at this thread *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43152 for prices.

yaa 7600gt is 8400/- delhi pricing and yes ATi is also a option ..

N

Which mobo to go for with this config (mobo which does't hav onboard video card, so tat RAM's utilization can be reduced) ??? So according to the chipset we can select the gfx card...

Config:
Intel C2D E6300 - 8900
Ram 2*512 - 2350 + 2350
120GB SATA2 - 2675
DVD Writer - 2100
17" CRT - 4750
Cabinet + SMPS - 1200-1400
KB + M - 850
UPS - 2000

Wouldn't it be good to have onboard video, it may sometimes be needed if your graphics card doesn't work then you can use onboard video.
While using graphics card for video, you will be disabling onboard video so RAM won't be shared.
So, I wouldn't consider onboard video as something to leave out, unless you are getting a really good mobo at nice price but doesn't have onboard video.

D

^^That is true but the mobo's without onboard video are aimed at enthusiasts/gamers and tend to have better features and performance.

yeah you are correct !!! M2N is another great board without an onboard but problem comes when you loose your GFX card ....

Can you please explain a bit more on how are they better?

D

Since gamers will anyways add a dedicated video card, the high end boards don't have onboard video.

For example, in the nForce5 series,
The nForce 590 supports SLI with 2x PCI-E x16 slots (no onboard).
The nForce 570 SLI comes with 2x PCI-E x8 slots (no onboard).
The nForce 550 has a single PCI-E slot (no onboard).
The nForce 510 is the only one with onboard video.

The performance an feature also decrease progressively from the 590 to the 510.

All rite thx.

yeah without onboards are better for gamerz

N

yeah, then which mobo n gfx card to go for???

N

Ok guys... Can i go for Intel D965RY mobo??? or should i go for some other??? If some other please mention its name n its price...

Also wat chipset does this mobo has??? Should i go for same chipset gfx card???

Can i go for 6600GT???

goin for a 6600GT now a days is foolishness. U can get the 7600FS for the same price which is more future proof, better performer nd also runs much cooler that the 6600GT. But a 7600GT si more better at gaming nd it easily beats a 6800GT in the battle.

N

ok, then let me go for 7600fs.. but with which mobo??? I am stuck out here...

D

7600fs???? I think he meant 7600GS.

N

where can i find the spec of Intel D965RY mobo??? I hav searched for it in intel site, but there is no such boards in their site...

Also wat chipset does this mobo has??? Should i go for same chipset gfx card??? My doubt is that, can i go for Nvidia series gfx cards with Intel D965RY mobo.
