A PC Config For 20-25K

[Cilus]

The CPU + Mobo configuration is very good and future proof. Sandybridge i5 2400 is a bang for the buck processor and outshines all the current Phenom II X4 and X6 CPUs as well as all the Bulldozer based 6 cores.
For motherboard, get the DH67CL board as it is a full ATX board.
For Ram, get the Corsair Value Ram 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 @ 1.2/1.3K.

But the Gfx card is not capable of any games as it is a HTPC card, used for wathcing High defination contents. Get at least Sapphire HD 5670 512 MB GDDR5 @ 4.2K

BTW, I'm guessing you are getting the bundled SMPS with the Iball Bullet cabinet. Now that is the worst part of your rig. Local PSUs are very bad, they never deliver the quoted rating. So don't even think about ading a decent Graphics card with it. So get a separate and branded SMPS first. FSP SAGA II 500W @ 2.2K. I know you may need to extend your budget for it but beleive me, it will extend the lifespan of your rig as well as letting you add components in future without thinking of power requirement.

Let us know the price breakup of each of the components too.

@ OP - tell us the resolution and size of your monitor and at what resolution you will play games ??

yep, for gaming it's better to get a decent gfx card at 5-6k range at-least and a good quality PSu like FSP Saga II 500 or Corsair CX430v2

RAM-4GB DDR3
HDD-500GB
Cabinet-iBall Bullet
Graphics Card-XFX HD 6450

How is it??

this config has a very slow graphic card. barely any improvement over Intel's IGP.

you can't use an AMD mothwerboard with an Intel processor.

@ico: u have a nice config in ur sig how much did it cost you??

@ico: u have a nice config in ur sig how much did it cost you??

A config similar to mine would cost around ~70k.

My suggestion would be this:

* slight change in ArjunKiller's reccomendation *

Component Make Price
Processor AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE 5500
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 4800
RAM 2 * G-skill F3-10600CL9S-2GBNT 1400
Hard disk WD Blue/Seagate 500 GB Hard disk 3800
Graphic Card MSI HD 6850 Cyclone 9300
PSU FSP Saga II 500W 2000
Case Zebronics Bijli (w/o psu) 1000
UPS Intex 1KVA 1800
Total 29600

If you want to buy Intel, then Intel i5-2400 + Intel DH67BL is going to cost you 9500 + 6000.

This is around 5-6k more than the above config.

Also, please read this thread regarding power supplies: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/power-sup...89-power-supply-blacklist-thread-newbies.html

@ico and rest will be da same???

yes...

Only motherboard and Processor need to be compatible i.e. made for each other.

 

[bruce_batman]

@ico: buddy der's a prob its going over budget

 

[skeletor]

Intel will definitely go above the budget. AMD will not.

You can buy HD 6770 card instead of HD 6850. HD 6770 is around 7k and sometimes less.

i am so glad i asked you ppl will get back to u on dis!!

on a not so related topic, how much do u think i should sell dis pc for

Branded LG MyPC
P4 2.66 Ghz
2GB DDR
250GB HDD
256 MB Graphics Card

 

[topgear]

[bruce_batman]

if the HDD is in good condition just keep it for now

and sell the pc without the hdd??

 

[d6bmg]

^^ If possible, yes. Price of HDD is shooting upto the sky due to flood in Thailand. So, best choice would be to keep that HDD with you, which will till HDD price become normal once again.

 

[bruce_batman]

i found that i have a spare 40 GB hdd will try and make it usable as i recall i did not boot da last time i tried to !!

 

[d6bmg]

^^ To be very honest, you can't really do much with 40GB HDD. It have too small space to work with.

 

[bruce_batman]

yup installed and tried 40 GB Hdd and it worked!! installed a hdd myself for the 1st time

so how much can da pc sell for??

 

[skeletor]

Hardly 2500 without the monitor. Pentium 4 is a rubbish chip.

 

[bruce_batman]
