Hi friends,
I have budget of 10K to 12K to upgrade.
My primary usage day to day normal use plus the ability of onboard gfx to play HD movies. An HDMI out is a definite plus.
I am not an avid gamer so I won't upgrade to dedicated gfx card and no overclocking for me.
I want the system to be rock stable and reliable.
Required components are:
CPU, Motherboard, DVD writer, atleast 2gb RAM, 320gb HDD,Cabinet with SMPS.

I am thinking of X2 7750 BE with 780G MB.

Help me with your suggestions. Any suggestion on Cabinet. IS PSU comeing with cabinet ok for above config. A good cabinet and PSU suggestion will be highly appreciated.

7750BE 3.5k
780g motherboard 3.5k
PSU CM 500W/ 2.3k
Ram 2gb transcend 1.15k
DVD write 1.15k
Cabinet Bijili/anibiotic 1.6k

7750BE is a waste if u dont plan to overclock. U can overclock this easily since it comes with an unlocked multiplyer.

Which 780g board you are refeering please tell.... and the config suggests by you exceeds 13k, I want to keep it less than 12k. A cheaper cabinet PSU combo may do the job.. Please suggest

Stick to Gigabyte 780G board, comes for 4k and have Zebronics antibiotic. comes with 450W PSU, which should be enough till you buy a dedicated graphics card.
