GUYS, I AM latched up 
here for a new pc. But i'll have to wait till Budget + Q2 fall of prices.
Now tell me what to buy - as straightforward as that.
My purpose -
a) Very less gaming ( Dont play the latest freaks, PLAY AOE 2 CONQ, IGI 2 - ..... but u guys just leave gaming apart )
b) Video encoding & editing
c) Surf, chat, n surf.
I am on budget trail so pls be sympathetic towards my pocket-money.
Cant go beyond 26,000 ( 1-2,000+ still affordable )
I already have LCD, speakers.
I wanna be future proof so am starting with Core 2 Duo straightaway.
Will buy a C2D E6600. The idea of E6300/E4300 dropped cos in Q2, price difference between E6300 n E6600 is almost nill ( ~40$ = Rs. 1800 ).
So here is my Fantasy Thought - initial built I am basing on.
E6600 ( Rs. 10,000 in Q2 ) ( + will try OC 3GHz )
MOBO - I have a few options in my pocket, but u tell me what to do -
BASELINE FOR MOBO IS = Cost about Rs. 4300 - 5500
Shud have Integrated Video - Nvidia 6200 > 6150 > 6100.
( Yep, I'll use integrated graphics only n prefer Nvidia 6150 )
Mobo be OCable quite a bit.
HD - 1 x Seagate 3.0 Gbps SATA 2 500 GB
or
2 x Seagate 3.0 Gbps SATA 2 320 GB
( Depends on budget left )
NEC or Benq or LITE-On DVD rewriter 16X ( Rs. 1800 ). Really noob in this department, but want best one out there. Many users say NEC 3540 / 3520 Kicks A**. Tell me what to do
RAM - Corsair 1 GB 800 MHz DDR2 - I think 800 Mhz has been reviewed as much better than 667 MHz, So I wanna grab it. ( Rs. 5500 ) ( Tell me the best Corsair DDR2 model - Value or other ... )
Tell me which mouse - Is microsoft Intelliexpert really much-configurable. Any other best Mouse + Keyb - within Rs. 1000?? I dont drool for wireless btw. That's too much bucks.
COOLING - Do I need any ?? - till i keep OC under or about 3.0 Ghz ? If yes, then tell me best within budget only ~ Rs. 1000.
ZEBRONICS Cabinet - Peace / Antiboitic / Other ( Rs. 2000 ). Tell for best ones.
SMPS - Tell me, as i am not much into gaming, but quite some video encoding. So from my purpose point-of-view will, Zebronics SMPS that comes with Cabby is enuf, cos buyin other quality SMPS wud dent my budget n i think, the one that comes with zebronics, wud be quite Fine. ( Rs. 0 )
======
This config will keep my evil soul
happy for about 1.5 - 2 years i think. And That's enuf.
Try to give as much info possible when telling + Also refer full model no. + Cost etc.
Hope for ur decent advice guys.
