Right off the assembly line
budget is at 12k
Hi,
I am from Chennai, India(South).
I wish to buy a System on Low Price.

I has to run Word Processors, audios, videos and some Small Applicatons. I don't run any high end applications, Video editing and games....
I need details of Low-Cost Processor and Motherboard which runs some low end applications. As per my Knowledge, Intel Atom is cheapest. I need details, Is there any other cheap AMD or Intel Processors??

Bond, Desi Bond!
cheapest in AMD is sempron and in Intel is Celeron. if you want something cheaper, look for Atom powered mobo+cpu+ram combination but that won't be good in performance.

Pls recomend a CPU for video conferencing and tv recording. This is for a NGO, the PC will be connected to a 42" LCD TV. Which web cam will be perfect for this. The Video Con will be held with MIT. Also recomend minimum Internet speed for the same. budget will be less than 20K(excluding monitor as TV is used)
For video conferencing,I would recommend the max speed connection you can get, preferably the minimum should be 1mbps. I have not much of an idea about webcams as I have not used them.

CPU as in the whole cabinet?

AMD Athlon II X2 240 @ 3k
Biostar TA785GE 128M @ 4.2k
CM Elite 330 @ 1.8k
2GB DDR2 @ 2k
1TB WD Green @ 5k
Corsair CX400W @ 3.2k

There you go, this should do it IMO.

also there are some webcams in Logitech that come with Carl Zeiss optics and offer superior clarity but downsize is that they cost some 8k

this one costs 9.5k : *www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/webcams/devices/3480&cl=in,en

speciality with this one is that With motorized tracking and autofocus, the spotlight is always on you, even when you move around and is also 720p ready.

Buying a 4850 now would be a waste. Although it can fairly run all those mentioned games on Full HD. U 've waited too long for the card & now just wait little for prices to go down a bit for the Dx11 hardware.

what are the speakers that you are using?

Check ASUS Xonar D2X and Xonar D2 (d2x is pcie x1 card and d2 is pci card)

my pick would be Creative sound blaster x-fi titanium fatality series as most of the games make full use of EAX technology

The best soundcards that you can buy are ASUS Xonar series, they are much better than creative counterparts, although to enjoy them properly at maximum extent you need bose-quality speakers.

Asus Xonar DX @ 4.8-5.2k

Asus Xonar Essence STX @ 8-8.4k

Asus Xonar D2X @ 10-10.5k

Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 @ 14-15k

For your need best is Xonar Essence STX model, it's one of the best ones out there, surpassing even the pricier D2X in some fields, it got raved reviews all over when it launched, unless you own uber-cool 100k speakers in your home this will do just fine. My friend owns one and some good 20k altec lansing speakers, the sound quality is awesome. Also note that Xonar supports Creative EAX for gaming through emulation which actually works properly.

for those speakers, you need not spend upto 11k. anything more than that will be an overkill for these speakers. :)

Check XtremeGamer and XtremeGamer Fatal1ty cards from creative.

Yeah, No point getting a high end sound card when the speakers are not the "mind-blowing" kinds. Desii, do you use a sound card?
