Hi Guys

I need to configure a new desktop for my home use.
My basic uses are:
1) Using Office Apps
2) Watching High Def movies
3) Occasional gaming ( likes of Call of Duty etc)
4) Net surfing of course - video streaming & Webcam
5) Occasional DVD burning etc.

Must haves :
1) Great sound and display
2) SW preferred - Windows 7
3) Decent speed, i dont expect a whizzy speed like that of a gaming rig, but then should be fats enough looking for ~4GB RAM
3) Upgradeable to a better config :)

My budget is around 40K.

Can you please quote prices, in around from chandigarh too??? Else the config will be enough.


Many thanks in advance

AMD Athlon II X4 620
Asus M4A785TD-V EVO
Transcend 2 X 2Gb DDR3-1333Mhz C9
Seagate 7200.12 1Tb
LG 22X DVD SATA
Gigabyte 80 plus Active PFC 460W
Cooler Master Elite 310
Benq G2220HD 22” FULL HD
Logitech Internet Pro Desktop

ok, full system wil surely come within 40k. now heres few recommendation:

1) change proccy to 630 depending on ur needs & price difference.
2) keep mobo same as it is. costly but feature rich.
3) may get better & costly ram but price doesn't justifies performance. until u OC & u get a dedicated GPU.
4) get WDC green if available.
5) good PSU. wil handle most mainstream cards.
6) u may get a better display if u wish.

now, if u don't play lots of games at high resolution, IGP should suffix. else drop it for a MSI E51/65 + HD4850.
