Ans: I'm from Mumbai & comfortable buying online or offline whichever is cheaper.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Upgrading from my current Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHZ & Intel 946 M/B so config should be decently above it.
Want Motherboard with USB 3 & HDMI Port Or DVI Port as per the Monitor connectivity.
In my budget I feel Intel 4th gen Dualcore 3220 or Core i3 may fit but I'm open for AMD config too if its equally powerful & energy efficient
Few weeks back I was at Lamington road Market & got following quotation from Prime ABGB
Intel Dual Core G3220 4th gen. @ 3500
Gigabyte H81 S2PH @ 4200
4gb Kingstom ram 1600 @ 2600
1TB WD green HDD @ 3550
LG DVD Writer @ 950
Circle 546 Cabinetwith SMPS @ 1700
Microsoft KB/ mouse combo set @ 950
BenQ 2245z monitor @7500
Dell S2240L @8500 from another local shop.
Guys please suggest me some powerful PC config which can go on for another 7-8 years .
If getting good config then can compromise on speakers & sound card but Final cost should not go beyond Rs.35000/- including Speakers & Sound Card.
Thanks in advance
