what do u think of MSI motherboards? what about the RAM?

Don't get MSI mobos coz I have jheard that entry level MSI mobos are not so good.

I've suggested about rams :

2x 1GB Transcend DDR2 800Mhz Ram Rs. 1200

Should have gone for AMD combo. Dont get me wrong- not that I am criticising you, but you should have some research from your end if you didnt get much replies.

Go for a Western Digital 640GB HDD for Rs.3.8K

@ hackerzlab - Congrats for your new rig & you don't have to worry about the seagate hdd. Just update the firmware.

thanx for the info. i have been buying only seagate products!! no problem face by me so far. anyways 3 years warranty is a long time. its not for me either

but hope it doesnt create any problem. besides, he mentioned particularly abt 1 TB/

thanx for warning. appreciate it.

YOU GOT G33 and NO GFX CARD???????

A

hehe compaddict felt bad.
@hackerzlab, good buy
my experience with seagate has been good. have bought 640GB with 32MB buffer in 3.8K and running it hard and still it is going good.

your proccy would be E7400 and mobo would be DG33 chipset, overall this is a good performance for general users.
