Friends

Thank you all for helping me for my first mid range PC buying, my experience was too good here.

Now I want your same support for another budget home PC for my niece. Note that the PC will be used in a rural area so the components has to be rough-n-tough which can work on extreme village/environments.

Also it should be an Intel based PC and the cost can be as low as possible :)

Thank you for the suggestion. But I surprise why the Intel pentium haswell processors (pentium g3220) are not available in India yet. When I contacted Intel India at their FB page they said we have already launched it. But we can not find them in ANY store !!! Any idea regarding this?

When providing a suggestion, be exact and avoid vague comments. Which i3? There are three generation chips available each having 3-4 models. If OP simply goes to buy that board and ends up getting a 4th gen i3, it will be not be compatible.

Ha ha ha .... That is at Amazon.com and will be shipped from USA. I'm asking about why the new generation pentium processors are not available in India? Simply no answer to that :(
