CPU , MOBO & RAM - minimum budget

Hi Guys,

One of my friend want to upgrade old machine but very tight on budget, can you suggest me some decent AMD processor, MOBO & at least 1 GB ram.

with little search i found below config, prices from compareindia

AMD Athlon II X2 245 - 2700
Jetway JN68M - 3000 ## i saw on 1 website it for 2.3K
Adata 2GB AD3U1333C2G9-R - 999 ( Total : 7000 INR)

the main use of computer is limited to surfing, MS office , multimedia and that`s it!!

Let me know (if possible give online buying options as these products are generally not available in local market)

If you are willing to experiment, then get a Raspberry Pi, a Rs.3000 credit-sized computer with 1 GHz (overclockable) ARM processor and 1 GB of RAM, capable of running Linux.

If he needs only mobo, RAM and processor, then get this-
Intel Pentium G2010 @ 3.1k
Asus P8H61 M LX @ 2.8k or Gigabyte GAB75M @ 4k
Corsair Value Select 4 GB @ 1.5K
Total 7.4k or 8.6k

Above config is better at low budget.

Raspberry Pi totally overpriced in India and got no warranty.
Only support Linux OS.
Only advantage its portable and use very low power.
