Hi All,

I am planning to assemble a new PC. My budget for the CPU (processor, mob, ram, power supply, cabinet, HDD, DVD drive) is 20K.

I would like to buy Intel processor and mob.

I had short listed following thing:

Processor : Pentium Dual-Core E5200
MOB : Intel MOB with G33 or G35 chipset (I liked the DP35DP mob from intel but only down side, I felt, was it does not have onboard graphics. I am trying to avoid buying an separate graphic card..;) )
RAM : 4 GB DDR2
HDD : 320 or 500 GB (either Seagate or WD)
PSU , Cabinet , DVD drive ????

I am trying to build my system around above configuration.
I need your suggestions in assembling the CPU (I will be using my existing monitor, keyboard etc..)
The only constraint is my budget…20K…;)… and processor and mob must be from Intel..

Thanks,
McDon

E5200 - 3.5k
DG35EC mobo - 4.55k
2x2GB RAM - 2.2k
320GB HDD - 2.5k
Sony DVD Writer - 1.1k
Decent PSU+Cabinet - 2k

Total is 15.85k

You can either up the proccy or get a basic gfx card... If you want to do some gaming or any gfx stuff, it is better to get a basic gfx card...

400W Should suffice for this rig, but better to go for 500W for future proofing in case you plan to upgrade with gfx card, etc...

Gigabyte G31-S2L 2400/-
Intel e5200 3500/-
Corsair XMS2 2GB 2200/-

This motherboard can overclock like hell, get a nice CPU cooler to overclock better..

Processor: Intel C2Duo E7300 Rs 5500.00
Mobo: MSI P35Neo F: RS 4500.00
RAM: Kingston 2Gb 800Mhz : Rs 1200.00
HardDisk : Segaet 500GB: Rs 2900.00
Cabinet: Zebronics Bijli : Rs 1600.00
DVD Drive: Rs 1100.00
Graphic Card: Palit 8600GT 512Mb DDR3 : Rs 3500.00

Total: 20300.00

Here you can exceed ur budget for just Rs 300 or you can look for a cheaper Mobo and increase the ram or Graphic Card.
