Holly Cow, I didn't know it was possible to build a complete PC within 15K!!!

Good Work Cilus!!

Is it possible to build an Intel config in 14K ?

Secondly, from where do you get these prices ?

Yes it is possible, but not with the Sandybridge or even Nehalem based core i5/i3 CPU. You have to rely on old Pentium Dual core based Processors like E5800 and G41 chipset based DDR3 motherboard. They are EOL already for more than 1 years and upgrade path can be considered closed. Also they perform far lower than Athlon II X2 processors.

Intel Config is not possible unless you want Used C2D Processor + Mobo Combo

At your Budget AMD is the ONLY way to go.

Cilus nice configuration just change processor to Athlon x3 445 for 3,400

Thanks. Ya, changing the CPU to a X3 is a good upgrade. Let OP confirm first if he can increase his budget by 1K.

Actually I have to assemble some computers for a small school. They only need it for programming and some office work and they only need Intel based config.

Secondly, please tell me a config based on G41 and dual core processors.

^^ Why intel Based config.. If it is by their Choice then Ok but if not what can be any particular Reason for this..

May be because many people think AMD is a cheap company

.I have heard many shopkeepers in my city telling this :lol:

^^
+1.

Still many think that INTEL is INTEL
and AMD is TRYING to catch it up in vain and for personal use only.

And India is IT hub of the world.....

Think a world without AMD..... No one would afford computer then......

I am myself a big fan of AMD, using it from the past 4 years. But I am not able to convince them to use it, that's why I asked for the Intel config...

Then get the following CPU and mobo:-

Pentium Dual Core E6600 3.06 GHz (1066 MHz FSB, 2MB L2)
Asus P5G41T-M-LX3 @ 2.45K

Note: These dual core CPUs are not Pentium D. These are based on C2D architecture with 45nm fabrication process with SSE4 instruction set disabled.
