Hello,
to all of you.
I want to buy CORE i3 based system.My budget is Rs.30000.Actually, I am in a confusion that Should I buy assemled system or go for some branded system like DELL, because, today I got quotation from local vendor that is Rs.31000 for whole system and today I read ad in the newspaper that Dell's core i3 based system is for Rs.32000 inclusive all taxes and delivery charges.Now, I am in a confusion to which system should I buy assembled or branded.Please reply.Thank you for reading my mail.
Regards,

If you are not going to overclock this thing ever then you can consider the DELL (any branded) PC, but if you do plan to oc, then assembled is the way to go.

Aslo if ur ready to take the hassels of RMA ur self then go with assembled as u'll get longer warranty period as compared to branded.
