WOW lot of budget. For those needs, a PIV 3GHZ with 1GBRAM and 80GBHDD would cost around 17k :)

ahem ahem . . . INTEL 965 with E6320 ,
intel mobos sux bigtime
it will bottleneck the system , not worth a buy for C2D

the one i have mentioned is way better than 965 ,

& 400 watt cabinet is not good enough to handle the system , it should be atleast 500watt,

again
,
intel counterparts are not good enough as compared to the n force chipset based mobo's ,
also taking into consideration if he wants to upgrade the processor,
the nforce chipset with 1333MHz max fsb would be any day better than the intel mobo,

BTw nice quote by ur dad :rolleyes:

He is ready to use linux as it will reduce the cost about 4-5k. Also he doesn't need such hi-fi config. Only Intel and not more than 80 GB HDD. :)

I said na linux is ok for him. I told him that if you use linux, it is much faster and most important trouble free. OOO is the replacement for MS-Office in Linux. OOO can be download from their site. ;) you guys don't worry about MS office and OS. Just tell me the config. MS-OFFICE will cost him Rs 100 (pirated) and 1k (approx.) (original). OOO is totally free and i am here to download it. ;)
