I see thank You For the Suggestion but there are a couple of problems with it. I live in a hostel and will just run LAN related programs all day.. And most important my max budget is 45k (Stuff is costlier in Varanasi).

There are a few things that I would like to point out:

1. I am open for an AMD config (Incl. Bulldozer) and will prefer a motherboard which supports Bulldozer processor (for future upgradation)

2. I need a 1TB HDD

3. I dont need Mouse, Keyboard and Speakers

4. Can you please suggest a lighter case?? 6Kgs sounds too heavy

Thankyou..

Change Your Case To Coolermaster Elite 310 for Rs 1600 and You Can Also Change The LCD/Led To A Little Low Size..Like DELL IN2020 HD Led...It is 20" price at RS 6000...

And 1 Tb Hard drive comes To RS 2700

and dont worry about cabby weight. :))

This looks good now I am trying to cut some cost and what do you say if I use the second config and use Sapphire HD6870 instead of Sapphire HD6950 1GB and instead of the Corsair GS600 will Tagan Stonerock 500 do for the graphics card?

For PSU, you will need GS600 with 6870/6950.

is this now available readily?

A

It is 45k but the problem is I am in Varanasi and you dont get anything here and the shopkeepers dont know anything about this stuff. So they will have to order it from outside and will charge extra. Do you know any good retailers in Varanasi :cry:

??

Then you can buy online without paying the extra bucks. Smcinternational.in, theitwares, deltapage.com are some of the most reliable online retailers available and most of the forum members including me have purchased from them. So you can easily order from them and get everything within your budget. If you buy whole system from them then they will provide some discount too. Mail them before purchasing to check the availability, updated price and if any discount is available or not and then make your move.

But what about the warranty and stuff how do I avail it??

RMA it and send the part to them or if you have any service center of the brand you brought near your place then go and give it to them.

The service will be same as you buy from the local vendor. If the product has after sales service available in your area you can directly contact them. Else you can send it back to the shop for replacement.

^^ How is it possible?? Shops will do the replacement? :unsure:

And then what about the financial balance of that particular shop?

A

I mailed SMC international and some of the components were unavailable

Case NZXT GAMMA – n/a Instead CM 430/431 With Side Window—Rs 2750
Monitor Benq G2220HD –n/a Instead you may have DELL ST2220M – Rs 7800
UPS Intex 1KVA –n/a Instead Microtek-- Rs 2550
PSU Corsair GS600 –n/a Instead
RAM G-skill F3-10600CL9S-4GBNT(4Gx1) – n/a Instead Corsair XMS3 4gb 1600 Mhz CMX4GX3M1A1600C9 –Rs 1500
And they didnt event suggest me an alternate PSU me sugest me a PSU

Are Vaii. Shops will take the responsibility of contacting the Service Center and replacement.

i have sent my card back to smc for rma. they in turn examine it and send it to sapphire service center (aditya infotech) delhi :wink:

@Anurg
ask locally too. if not available then we can suggest alternate.

Anurg, try theitwares.com too. They also have good collection and provide good service.
