my current system configuration is P4 1.7Ghz on Intel D845GLAD M/B having 128Mb DDR RAM and a 40GB HDD.
Firstly, i plan to upgrade it with a new AMD processor (specifically AM2) and a compatible motherboard, 512Mb of RAM and a 80GB SATA HDD. Please recommend a suitable AMD processor, motherboard and which HDD and RAM Brand to go for. I would be using the PC for multimedia viewing, a little video and photo editing and casual gaming. I live in Bangalore so if possible please mention the individual prices for each component as in bangalore (ie, AMD Processor, m/b...and so on)
Secondly, i heard that AMD Motherboards donot have integrated graphics so does that mean that i have to buy a Graphics Card for viewing. If so please mention the name and Price of an good entry level graphics card having atleast pixel shader 2 because i heard that newer games require atleast pixelshader 2. The graphics card may or may not lie in my budget (ie, Rs.15000).
