hi
i want to upgrade my pc(already have crt,kbd,mouse,spkr)
the budget is 17-20k
this wat i think
1 gb kingston ram=rs. 2100
320 gb Western digital HDD =rs.4000
cabinet=rs.800-1000
no graphics card needed....used 4 programming and office work and occasional light gaming (max payne etc)
so wat remains 4m the budget is 10-13k
plz suggest a good core2 duo+mobo combination for 10-13k

also do suggest ne changes in ram,HDD

and i stay in Dadar..so can go to Lamington to buy partz on my own..so also suggest good shops selling at reasonable and low prices

I have replied ur PM, but I suggest u post in a Thread for more views !!!

boss why dont u go for an AMD X2 4000+ and a Nvidia chipset based mobo...bith wont exceed 9000 rs.....and will perform very well.specially in numbrecrunching scenarios..

ok
so i finally settled on amd based pc
wanted 2 ask abt ram
667mhz or 800mhz given the fact that 667mhz costs=1900 and 800mhz=rs.2650
is it worth the extra money

and a bit confused about proccy amd 64 x2 3600+/4000+/4400+ coz they all increment in 0.1 ghz and price increment of 500rs !!!

Athlon 64 X2 3600+ 1.9GHz 1MB L2 cache 2500
Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz 1MB L2 cache 3000
Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 2.1GHz 1MB L2 cache 3250
Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2GHz 1MB L2 cache 3700
Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2.3GHz 1MB L2 cache 4150

and is it necessary to get a 500W VIP Smps? and spending 900 bucks only on the smps!!!

yes certainly its worth the money..specially if the mobo supports dual channel....

and as of the proccy.....go the best one u can afford

and ya again...the best PSU u can get ur hands on and falls within ur budget ...becoz its the heart of ur sys..i spent 7500 bucks on my PSU
