Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Rs. 10,000
Asus P5LD2-VMSE Rs. 5,000
1 GB DDR2 667 RAM Rs. 4,500

Total Rs. 19,500

Get the MSI Neo F 965 instead and E6400 instead.

E6400 = 10500
MSI 965 = 6500
1GB DDR2 667 dual ch - rest

Does the E6400 cost so less? Anyways that's a little out of the budget. Plus he'll have a hard time finding the E6400.

E6400 I think is available for that price in Chennai.

You can get the E6300 for sub 9000.

The thing is that there is significant perforamnce dif as these motherboards limit the capabilities of the CPUs. So while E6400 may reac 2.6-2.7, the E6300 might be limited around 2.2.

AMD FX is very very expensive and looses to even the slowest of Intel Core 2 Duo's.

FX series except the latest FX-60 and FX-62 are single core. No point spending so much money for a single core proccy.

Even FX 62 is not as good a buy as a E6400 or even E6300 had they even been priced the same!

Bro as a Matter of facr ...E6300 is easily Available & is selling like HOT Cakes...except Few Dealers From Chennai & West Bengal (guy From Where koolkapoor got his E6400)

Also Sept End is Right Time To Invest :

* Asus Main Stream Boards For C2D i said arrive & more easily available,this will Get Max out ur C2D Process
* Ram Prices Are High Now ... Will come Down By Month End (I heard Dealers Pushing Out All There Old Stocks OF DDR - II @ 553 ... New Stocks Of DDR - II @ 667 Stocks Are Said to Arrive... thereby having a New Price Tag
* Amd Will Be Slashing More Prices For Sure ...

So Wait & watch
