Re: &lt;15K CPU Configuration Required

Here you go mate

Component	Name	Price
CPU	Intel Pentium G630	3400
Motherboard	Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H	4000
RAM	Corsair Value Select 4gb 1333 MHz	900
Cabinet + PSU	I Ball Mid Level Designer Class - X Cabinet (250W)	1600
HDD	Seagate Barracuda 500 GB	3400
Wi-Fi USB Dongle	TP Link TL-WN721N Wireless N	600
Optical Drive	Asus DVD Writer	900
	Total	14800

Blu-ray wont be possible at 15K budget.... for that you'll need to put in some extra money - around 4k in a GFX card and 6k for a Blu-Ray optical drive

Will HD support with the current motherboard or I need to buy a graphics card for watching downloaded HD movies ?

For smooth full HD experience, I would suggest to go for a basic GFX card like GeForce GT 610 or Radeon HD 5570 which would cost you just below 3k.

Do one thing... buy everything except GFX right now and see how the build performs for you. You can add GFX card at any point of time in future

Thank you. Is there a flatbed cabinet available in market ?

Flatbed or HTPC cabinets as we know are way to overpriced. I know you would be looking for a decent looks cabinet which will blend in you living room but sadly they are not available in less costs.

Thank you for the reply. As suggested will go without GPU then later will add.
