Thanks bssunilreddy.
I was not looking for a new PC. Just for the upgrade part.
Can you tell me what all components I need to upgrade from my previously mentioned system under 30K for good full-HD video editing and casual gaming performance.
Quick update bssunilreddy.
I had to cut short my budget. So planning a slight change.
My current PC config is
Operating System -Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU- Intel Core i5 @ 2.90GHz Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology
RAM 8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 1333MHz (Upgraded a week back)...
Thanks bssunilreddy.
Couple of questions.
1. I wont be using the system for more than 3-4 hours at a stretch in a day. Do I still need the CPU cooler?
2. Adding to the above point, from what I understand, Xeon CPU's are built for 24X7 use and lower power consumption and don't offer any...
1. What is the purpose of the computer?
Ans: Light photo, video, and audio editing. Watching full HD movies. Software I'll use - Adobe audition for audio editing, Cyberlink Power Director 13 for video editing, and Photoshop for image editing. No gaming at all.
I wont be doing heavy video...
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run?

Hi all,
I have a question regarding CPU clock speed.
I was recently looking online to purchase a core i5 laptop- 4th gen. Most laptops come with 1.6ghz processor and turbo boost close to 2.3 GHZ. Only very few laptops have 2 GHZ or above speed with turbo boost above 3 GHZ.
For a usage...
1) What is your budget? Rs 60000 (I'd be glad if I can spend way less than this amount.)
2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
Thin and Light or Mainstream; 13" - 15.6" screen
3) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?

Hi Everyone,
I would like to Fix and Upgrade my laptop (HP DV4 1506TX)
The problem I am facing is that the laptop battery was replaced 2 times after it was bought (2.5 year old laptop). Both times the battery became dead soon. I have no idea why it happened. I followed best practices to...
Hi All,
I want to take lot of HD videos for youtube.
It will be mostly still videos focusing on a person. I will make the background white by overexposing the background with strong fluorescent lights.
I don't think lighting would be an issue since it will be taken indoors and I will...
Ok.. Then I will stick with Sandybridge.
Any suggestions for a graphics card that might boost the performance? I wont be playing games. So a graphic card for gaming isn't something what I am looking for.
I prefer a good keyboard. I am not too particular on the mouse. I will be typing a lot since I am into blogging.
Dont you think I need a graphic card?
Can you suggest an AMD config?
Why? I don't play games.
I hear Intel Sandybridge is not good for video editing.

Wont 600VA be enough?
How about Benq's 22" HD model?
Sony Vegas is not 64 bit right? So it wont technically access more than 3GB... I suppose that holds good for 32 bit apps on 64 bit OS.
Also, videoguys does not recommend Sandy Bridge for video editing.

Ask the person to start off with 10 computers and then expand as he gets more business. it definitely makes sense as 10 k systems isn't something that's quite possible.
Else, consider getting second hand systems. I have seen a lot of cafe's with second hand machines. But I always prefer to...
