MSI P35 Neo F - 4.9k
Intel C2D E8400 - 8.6k
2X2GB DDR2 800MHz - 3.6k
ViewSonic 19" LCD - 8.8k
Logitech Combo - 1k
Samsung DVD RW - 1.1k
WD 250 GB - 2.2k
Zebronics Cabinet - 1.2k
XpertVision 9600GT - 5.5k
PowerSafe Silver 500W SMPS - 1.7k
Altec Lansing BXR1121 Speakers for around 1.2k

Total 40.3k

If u want Multimedia and gaming, dont get settle below this.

Other option was interchange the proccy and gfx card..
Instead of E8400 get a E7200 and save 2.8k.... Invest the 2.8k in gfx card and get a 8800GT for around 7.5k..(I read it somewhere in the forum)....

^^ No use getting MSI P45 Neo F if u dont have an idea to get a discrete gfx card, coz that Mobo doesnt have onboard IGP...
So get a MSI P35 Neo F for 4.9k and get atleast 8600GT for 3k...
Also get Transcend 2GB DDR2 800MHz for just 1700 Rs...

I dont know much abt that Mobo but AFA reviews i saw,the Mobo is a decent performer coz it has a decent onboard graphics and leaving this all its just 100$..(As per reviews)...

But since u need a system for performing Multimedia tasks, its not a good idea to have a Mobo with onboard IGP.... Onboard IGP's are real pain in a$$ if u start working with a resource intensive applications..That also means u waste the CPU power by w/o having proper GPU to accompany and share the process with CPU..

For the price they mentioned its OK, but not good... I advise u to get a P35/45 chipset mobo and a entry-level gfx card... like MSI + 8600GT/9500GT/9600GT.HD4670

And later get a high end GPU by saving money from now and u set to go....

Basic law is even a entry level gfx card is way better than a Onboard IGP....

Now the choice is urs.... :D

please help raj...

First of all ,MSI P45 Neo-F does not have any IGP and yes it has a PCI-ex16 2.0 which is better than the one on MSI P35 Neo-F which has a PCI-ex16 1.0 . But all grafix card will work on both mobos. 5-6% performance difference. So go for MSI P45 Neo-F. P35s are nearly obsolete. Go for 2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM from Transcend or Kingston. 8800GT is old and hot. Though it performs very well and is around 8-9k, you have the Palit HD4850 512MB GDDR3 at 9.5k which is around 30-40% faster than it and serious VFM so go for it. All games will run without any hitch :). Go for WD Caviar SE16 640GB HDD for 4k. Serious VFM !! For the CPU, you have to decide. If gaming is more of a priority, go for E8400 and if rendering/designing is more of a prority, then go for a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200. Get the Dell 198WFP 19" LCD. Great monitor. Dont ignore the cabinet. Cabinet plays an important role. And as far as I can say, iBall sux. Stay away from it. Get a Cooler Master EliTe 330 cabinet and a good power supply to for this rig. For power supply, look at the Corsair VX450W or Cooler Master EP600W. Both are around 3.2-3.6k mark. Both are good but I prefer Corsair. For the optical drive, go get a Samsung SH-203B. Amazing one!! Get the Altec Lansing BXR1121 2.1 speakers. Great for 2-3k. Sound card and Lan card are onboard so no need. With all these heavy duty hardware, you need a healthy UPS. How about Antec 850VA UPS. Antec's UPS are good and trusted. Get the Logitech Gaming G1 for the keyboard/mouse. Decent multimedia keyboard but a great mouse. Alas, if you need headphones, get the Sony MDR-XD200.

Dont go for iBall Cabinet... they sux... Instead go for CoolerMaster Elite 330 Cabinet or a Zebronics Krish or Bijili Cabinet...


Where is the PSU?
You need a PSU in order to feed your system dude..
For that get a PowerSafe Silver 500W SMPS - 1.7k or
CoolerMaster EP500W - 2.3k ...(Choice is urs)

And as for gfx card, get HD4670 if its available... coz AFAIK its more VFM than 9600GT...

Rest of the config seems good...

You are wrong. Its a renamed version of nothing. It was meant to replace 8600GTs at 6-7k. It does not meet the performance of an 8800GT.
