hi to all,
My cousin wants to get a new PC and hehas asked me for new config:

AMD 64 bit 3000+/3200+( Which core.....wincchester??? etc etc)
Mobo(with/without onboard graphics options both) depends on other config prices.
Transcend ram 400Mhz 512/1gb (this laso depends on other parts)
120/160gb seagate sata
Monitor(want a LCD but how much it costs???)else 15/17inches which monitor is best.
Cabinet(branded which one???)
DVD/RW no compromise its BENQ 1655(still suggestions welcomed)
6600GT 128MB XFX

CAN ANY1 PROVIDE SUGGESTIONS FO ABOVE CONFIG ALONF WITH APPROX PRICING

I don't think specifying the core will really matter at all ....u'll not get any info on the core unless u plug it in ur mobo and startup the pc .... i think u should get a venice core ..

LCD suck very low refresh rate i.e response time

they really suck in games

for movies with high bitrate LCD will be good.

Ofcourse you can , just by seeing the serial number on the processor you can know which core it has/

Well to recognise Amd64 Venice Core see that the serial no. is: ADA3000BPBOX (for 3000+) where the "BP" means venice core.

Look for BPBOX if going for venice core and if onboard graphics mobo then go for nvidia 6100 or 6150 chipset MSI K8NGM2 i hav it very good performer oc my 3200 2 ghz to 2.5 ghz.

if you want to game there is no point thinking below a 7600GT/7900GT or equivalent gpus, cut down anything to upgrade the gpu.
