I also think that IGP is powerful enough to handle HD movies.

@ topgear Does that CM Elite comes with any fans or not?

The IGP of Gigabyte 880GM UD2H can easily handle HD movies....

Local brands like Zebronics, Intex, IBall, Frontech, Mecury, etc are available in all local shops in plenty.
So, surely they must be having a Zeb. Bijli.

Zeb bijli is a fast moving cabby...
So as masterkd said there may be scarcity of this case in some places....

If there are good cabbies from any local brand will definitely check them out. BTW, both the Athlon II X4 645 & Phenom II X4 840 (basically "Athlon II X4 650") are selling at around 5K. Is it better to go with the higher clock models or I just save 500 bucks and go for the 640?

Really
But when OP can get Phenom II for 500 bucks more, then why should he get an Athlon II.

Actually that "Phenom II 840" is basically a Athlon II. It comes without L3 cache and have a max TDP of 95W. That Phenom II moniker is just a marketing ploy from AMD.

^^ nice config though I think going for 2x 2GB DDR3 modules make more sense ;-)

I also think increasing the RAM would be better than a more powerful CPU with lesser RAM.

Got your point, but not interested in any upgrades as this will be used by my parents. They are not going to spot any difference between an Athlon and a Phenom. Having more RAM may be helpful for the 64-bit OS.

Why not give your current E7400 based PC to your parents and keep the Athlon II X4 machine with you?

Athlon II X4 is much much faster than E7400. :)

Or are you planning an upgrade for yourself too?
