Hi everyone, I assembled the following PC about seven months ago. Along with the PC, I bought a SL Win 8 64-bit license, and have been updating it regularly through windows update. Also, the drivers for all my peripherals are all up to date, so is the BIOS. The OS was updated to 8.1...

Thanks Cilus, I was looking for an Intel-based system but now I might give AMD a second look after your comment. Also, yes, I plan to stagger my investments and hope to buy a good graphics card later on, maybe in a year so I would like a cheaper graphics card, maybe in the range of 10-15K...

+whitestar_999 Very informative! Thanks a million. Romit

+vaibhav Thanks a lot - that's quite comprehensive. I might be tempted to extend my budget to accomodate the GPU as suggested. I also need to throw in a DVD writer. +whitestar_999 Thanks, and I did read that before I posted. You'd note that I've added ever bit of information that asked for...
