Hi

I just built a E4600 with Intel DG33FB config a month back.

I have to build a cheap and no-frills but reliable build to someone. Money is a key constraint...Lookign for cheaper than my previous build with E4600 and DG33

This time around I am not particular on Intel. AMD would also do. I am looking for on board graphics. No Gaming...No OCing

Can you pls offer a suggestion?

Thanks in advance...

Thanks..

@John

I am looking at @15K. This is a basic build with on board video...

@paranj

Thx..Is it necessary to go for a separate PSU or go with one which comes with a cabinet as default (like Zebby Lava etc.,)

I did not know Antec was that cheap!
I would not have spent 2700 on CM500.:-(

^^ya but its only for budget users, if u want to make a power PC than CM is the best. Real world output is less in Antec! @TC its not compulsory, u can get what u like. Both will perform the same nearly. I suggest u buy separate for warranty issues. So, when ur PSU goes kaput u have to only give ur PSU and not whole cabby. And Antec is a trusted company so i suggested it.

Cheerz!
