AMD Athlon X2 7750 - 3.1K
Biostar 790Gx or Gigabyte 780G - 4.5K [ 790GX is better grafix]
2GB RAM - 1.2K
500GB HDD - 2.7K
Mercury or Zebronics cabinet with PSu - 1.1K
logitech keyboard & mouse - 700
LG DVD RW 20X - 1.1K
Numeric or Umax UPS - 1.5K
Odessey CRT 17" inch flat - 3.5K

Its all around ur budget

 

[damngoodman999]

No
But the MoBo is "Intel(R) 82845G/GL"

resolution is pretty harsh , y dont u first change ur config & then u can proceed for 22" LCD

LG DVD RW 20X - 1.1K
Numeric or Umax UPS - 1.5K
LG 1953T (good HD LCD) - 6.7K

total comes around 21K

or INTEl config

E5200 dual core - 3.3K
gigabyte GA-EG31M-S2 - 2.4K
palit 9500GT - 3.2K

all others are same

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^for image editing and video editing using a stand alone card is always better.

make it Intel Dual Core E5200+Gigabyte G31 S2L or Foxconn G31MX(2.4k) + Palit 9500GT 512MB DDR3

 

[topgear]

^^ +1. Go for the intel rig. It performs better ( e5200 ) than AMD config ( 7750 B.E. )
For mobo you can also try Asus P5KPL-CM/AM

 

[billamama]

I'm planning to buy another pc this time for my institute:
mobo Asus P5N73-AM
cpu Intel Dual Core - E5200
hdd WDC 320 GB S-ATA 3.5" Hard Drive
cab Zebronics BIJLI
GPU 9600GT 512MB DDr3 (maybe later in case over budget)
ram CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) /G skills 4 gb PI Black
Optical
drive Samsung SH-223 Serial ATA 22x
monitor Benq 15" Wide Screen TFT LCD Monitor

Which PSU should I go for this low config?
Budjet is well within 20-25 thousand.

 

[desiibond]

a coolermaster Extreme Power 500W for 2.5k should be enough.

 

[topgear]

^^ +1 but Even a Zebronics 500W Platinum PSU @ Rs. 1.5K is enough for that rig

@ billamama[/B - ]Get transcend or kingston ram instead & a 17 or 19 inch monitor with the extra money

"damngoodman999" thanks 4 d reply.
I already have Mouse n K B so also UPS proview (My frnd. gave me 4 free)
I get confused when u n "topgear" say AMD or INTEL.
Which is stable?
One more thing if i want 2 buy Future proof syst. what will b d Cost n Config. Leave d monitor as i`ll b buying Samsung 2233WS.
Thanks in advance n Good Morning.

Well at the budget you said, INTEL would be the best in class especially for the purpose you mentioned. As fas as Stability, both of them are stable. Just that they are competitors. Thats it.

Go for what j1n matt suggests.. Its too good for the price.

There is no word called Future-proof as far as computers. Say for example, take damngoodman or desiibond's config. both were good and play all the latest games and some forthcoming games too, and so we call it as a future-proof.
So you must spend atleast a 35-40k(As u said u decide to buy a Samsung 22" later i didn't include it here) would be OK for you.

CPU+Motherboard+RAM+GPU+PSU+Cabby = 35 - 40k. Is just good enuff to be say a future-prrof. But this doesn't mean it plays all future games.

For a Uber-High config, you have to spend a lac or more.

 

[mkumar]

OK, i got ur point.
4get future proof thing.
Suggest me a config. of a budget of 19,000.
Leave d monitor, Mice, Key brd. & UPS.

thanks in advance8)
