Hai everyone,

This is Dilip from shimoga, I am planning to buy a new PC based on Intel C2D processors. My needs are hardcore gameing and as well as it should work fine every app's that I install. Also specify if Intel boards supports any PCI-PCIe cards or it only come with onboard graphics. I saw this months digit mag, but I am still confused on the MB and the CPU, because if they dont match properly every thing goes wrong. Please it's urgent. and also specify some good tv tuner cards(external) Budget is 25K to 30K

Now that's what I call a complete budget list for your pc. Thanks sam, thanks for your help for now I am going to settle for ASUS P5B, 250 GB HDD, and 256 MB RAM and C2D with 1.86GHz for an exchange of my old one, which has already got Sony DVD RW 170C. That should cut down the budget to around ~22K. Since my father wont allow the budget of 63K I will have to settle for 20K

Thanks for your most welcomed help.
