good suggestion but required a monitor also within that budget. i understand that HD will not come.

Instead of A6 3500 if i go for INTEL GS620 OR ATHLON II 260 how will it be?

why are u calling me "SIR" ?

A6 3500 has a powerful gpu, For your purpose dbmg configuration is very good.
you can even play new games at medium to low settings.


for monitor you need to spend around 5.6k for samsung B2030 if budget is problem you can find 15 inch 2nd hand CRT for 900/-.

Its because of:
1. Age difference of you & me.
2. Static thread. No updates & comments from you. ;)

Instead of A6 3500 if i go for INTEL GS620 OR ATHLON II 260 how will it be?

Going wiith G620 or athlonII 260 makes very little sense, as you will probably need to add cheap graphics card with them.

Take Asus. No good FM1 board from gigabyte is available in India. (you can thank distris)
