You have already decided a Perfect Config

Approx Rates
Processor - Intel C2D E4300 (1.8Ghz) + ASUS Mobo - Rs. 5500 + 3500
RAM - 1GB DDR2 RAM - Rs. 3300
HDD - Samsung / Seagate 160 GB - Rs. 2500
LCD - Viewsonic (you know)

@satyamy

1 GB DDR-II 667 MHz should not be more than 2.2k, which one you have queted, 3.3 ?? where as in Kolkata Transcend was 1900 + TAX when I last checked !!!

HDD Segate 160 GB is 2050 + TAX

and about Procy Mobo, with OC E4300 is not the one to buy, I suggest, AMD X option will be far better :)

AMD (AM2) X2 4200 @ Rs. 4800 + TAX
ASUS M2A-VM (AMD 690G with ATi x1250) Rs. 4000 + TAX

i know viewsonic is cool, but features in lg which impress me are the high contrast ratio of 2000:1 and hdcp compatibility.

yaa i have i was going for viewsonic but the vendor told me that after sales service is bad . then i saw samsung theborder was in silver colour. and i had gone for lg . yes lg . the contract ratio is wonderfull 2000.1 but about the picture quality i would i say not like samsung but beeter than viewsonic. i think it also due to i am having p3 soo there is no grapic cars thats whyyy. i think u should go for dell only its the best
