Hello All,

I am looking out for a combination MoBo + Procy + RAM (GFX to be added later but if you can provide me the exact ones it will be helpful to make the choice of other parts), this is for one of my cousins and his budget is somewhere around 15k. It is an upgrade and the rest of the parts will be used from the old built. I am not aware of the recent releases of the products if you guys can provide your inputs it will be really helpful.

The Use would be for Mainly Gaming (will be ok at mid settings) and day-to-day browsing and application use as AutoCad, Photoshop etc.

I would want it to be upgradable in future so that he can add up components as per his budget and choice later.

- Thanks in Advance.

Post the existing config.

Forgot to mention the Existing Config :

MoBo : Gigabyte G41M-ES2L
Proc : Intel C2D E4500
HDD : WD Black 1TB (Recently Brought)
RAM : 2GB Kingston DDR2
UPS : APC 600 VA
A basic Intex Cabinet with the included SMPS.

It is my old PC which I had given it to him so he needs to upgrade this.

Actually if you go with AMD FX-series then FX-6300 will come under your budget which is better than i3 in most of the multi-threaded applications. But FX series does not come with any integrated Graphics and you need to buy a graphics card which will increase your budget.
