i am looking for a new cheap build after my amd 64 3000+ and asus a8n vm died on me after a fault in the cheap psu. i will only use it for downloading overnight, some firefox and adobe reader stuff. so i want it under rs 8000.

i have shortlisted these -
intel g530 - rs 3000
intel g2010 - rs 3500

Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 - rs 3200

kingston ram - rs 1200


please advice if this is good or i need to change something. i have already bought a corsair vs 450.

If yoy want a PC, then your config is good. But if you want something for overnight download, there are other cheper, less power consuming options available. Have a look at this: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/bazaar/15...r-fully-configured-ready-use.html#post1929352

Other than this, there are routers which can download files to attached pen drives. then theres 3000 bucks raspberry Pi. All these options ate much much cost and power efficient for 24x7 downloading than any pc.

Yep, Good suggestion by harshilsharma63 .. Id recommend getting a good router and installing aftermarket firmware to continuously download stuff but if you want to use it as a basic pc, then the rig u already have decided will be sufficient
