An inverter is not a UPS, if there is fluctuation or power cut inverter takes too much time to switch on as compared to UPS. Therefore, your PC will first lose its power and then get power from the inverter whereas a UPS will not allows your PC to lose its power

good try jas but 20k & gaming. seriously. not possible.

1. a VIP 400W PSU cost ~1.5k.
2. 16" too much small.
3. better settle for some cheap speakers.

some amount of gaming will be possible with hd4200 and x3 2.9ghz sam
i could not find a budget 19" monitor...suggest please

yes i know but i meant 15" too small for any gaming. in 20k, if one want gaming, he/she must have monitor already. else it'll have bad affect on pc specs immediately.

GOW3 ---> PS3.
IGI --> max out. highest resolution & settings. will get 100+ FPS.
Assassins Creed 2 ---> full resolution, lowest details or vice versa.
mafia 2 ---> as not yet released. can't say.

Check jaskanwar bros configuration there is a mistake in sum total it is 21.7k not 20.7k so please solve it pull it to 20k

---------- Post added at 07:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

Pull it near to 20k otherwise jaskanwar bros configuration is good . I will go with it.Is that mobo he suggested is also compatible with athlon x2 series if not please suggest a biostar mobo.

wtf is this?

recently i have seen many unusual posts like this.....whats happening i dont know.........

^^This is very wrong. in my option this is the only forum in India which has some of the most talented guys all over India at one place.I dont understand why few people spoil the flavor of this forum.

whts very wrong???
my post or what clshoe31

whts very wrong???
my post or what clshoe31

Obviously yours. :smile:

By the way, for monitor go for AOC 19" monitor, available at 5.4k in Kolkata. They are some great VFM monitors available. I have two of them, one 19" and one 16"
Guys spending 4k for an X3 is seriously not a good choice. Ask the OP to increase his budget to few hundred bucks to get a Athlon II X4 630 at 4.6k.

My suggestion will be

Athlon II X3 425 2.7GHz @ 3.5k
2 GB Kingston DDR3 @ 2.6k
500 GB HDD @ 1.9k
AOC 19" monitor 5.5k
Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.3k
LG H55N DVD @ 1k
Logitech Keyboard & Mouse @ 0.7k
Local cabinet @ 0.7k
Any good Local 500W/600W SMPS (FOxin) @ 0.6k

Guys, these local psu will be able to run upto 9600 GT or HD 4650. I tested the Foxin 500W with HD 5650 and 9500 GT.

Total is around 20.8k. Now the Street price of CPU and processor are little less. So best of luck to get everything within your budget.

By the way, this is not at all my suggestion at all. The credit goes to Jaskanwar Singh. I just modified some components.

Hello guys ,sorry for not replying. Yesterday i went to our local market to know the price of configuration you provided me.
I came up with this price list:
Athlon II X 3 435 2.9 GHz @ 4.2 k
Biostar TA785 G3 @ 3.5 k
2 GB DDR3 1333MHz @2.1 k
HDD 500 GB SATA @1.9k
LG H55 N DVD @0.95 k cabinet @1.2 k Dell 19 " IN1920 Wide Screen LCD @ 6k Logitech Keyboard & Mouse @0.350 k
total :20.2k
so is it worthy and also i did not bargain. i am thinking that i can bargain upto 1k on whole system.

absolutely fine
which brand of ram???

When you are spending 4.2k, just spend a few hundreds buck more to get a Athlon II X4 630. It is currently having street price 4.6k to 4.9k. Try to get this one.
The gaming performance increase will be marginal (or not at all ) but performance increase in multi-Threaded application will be great and it is a better future-proof solution.

Jaskanwar can you please suggest a value graphics card for your configuration.

How does this one look piyush ?

TheITWares -Dell E1910 IN 18.5'' Wide Screen TFT LCD - TheITWares

^^this one is good too
however it only offers max res upto 1366 x 768
and at 6k price i think its a lil bit pricey

its so because at 6.5k one can get dell 20"screen with 1600 res

u want to add graphic card in above rig?
whats the budget?

T

max budget 3000 rs.(alas no rs sign on keyboard).Will it be worth spending in terms of system improvement?

^^ my advice save up more

K

Okay , actually i am also deciding to get this whole rig in next month because then may be i will have money to add a graphic card to it and also there will be some probability that AMD will launch its first dual core APU . Then i will in for that if that one is in 4k range. Otherwise this configuration is best i can get in this budget .
