My son is now studying in class 3 under CBSE. As a part of his academic curriculum, the computer has been introduced and as usual he is after my laptop now. So I must give him a basic computer to perform his work as well as light weight gaming. Now I have an old 80 GB Hard disk at my stock and have a secondary 24 inch LCD TV with VGA input capability. I have sorted out the following using my limited knowledge--
1) A second hand INTEL CORE 2 DUO 2.33 / 4M / 1333 ( E6550 ) PROCESSOR from EBay
2) New cooler + heat sink ( Original Intel CPU Cooler FAN + Heatsink Socket LGA775 or Cooler Master, Brand New intel Pinless CPU Fan for socket 775, with heatsink) Confused between two, Is the original worth almost double the price compared to CM product?
3) New Gigabyte GA-G41MT-S2PT Motherboard from Flipkart
4) New Corsair DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9) from Flipkart
The total budget is coming around Rs(1500 cpu+ (600/400) cooler + 3900 MB + 2500 RAM)= Rs.8500/8300.
I am concentrating on MB-CPU-RAM only. I know socket 775 is EOL but any combination with socket 1155 pulling my budget to almost double ( Not interested in i3 as it is a Na Ghar ka na Ghat ka IMHO).
Kindly comment and suggest. I have no objection to AMD if the combination is better and within 1-2k (maximum) of this budget.
