Hi everybody,

I need a new no - frills basic system for word processing, Internet browsing and using the printer. My budget is below 20k, cheaper the better. Just suggest me a config. I was thinking about the following :

1. AMD Sempron 2800+ proccy ( AM2 ) - 3100/-
2. No idea on mobo. No need for any excellent features. Needs only a PCIe slot for future upgrades.
3. 512MB DDR2 @ 667 MHZ - 3000
4. Seagate 80 GB HDD - 2500
5. Lite - on DVD writer - 2300
6. Logitech K/B - 500
7. Creative SBS 240 speakers - 500
8. A zebronics case and power supply - 1500
9. A microtek UPS - 1800

I have a monitor and mouse with me. SO suggest me a beter config. if possible or any other cost cuttings anywhere else.

Thanks,
Aparajith .S

Get Asus M2N-MX for Rs. 4300.
The DVD writer is about 400 bucks cheaper.
Spend 500 bucks more and get a Athlon64 3000+ AM2 instead of Sempron.

20K, well your current config is more then enough. For the motherboard get an Asus M2NPV-MX motherboard. Rest is fine
