^^sorry , I really mean to stick with Vista Home Basic rather than their recommendations.......

If u try 1420 with least options u will get it for 36.2K including TAX :) , but u hav to pay for delivery according to ur location. Its usually a small payment made by Dell :) , like 750/- for ma location in our state.

intel 2.4ghz core2 quad processor 1066 fsb 8 mb cache - 11,544 (with tax)
intel DG33FBC motherboard - 5,148 (with tax) <- Cancle this, Opt for ABiT IP35-E which is Rs. 4900/- + 4% VAT
2 gb ddr2 ram 667 fsb - 2,028 (with tax) <- Too much, a 2 GB kingstone single Stick of king stone would cost Rs. 1875/- incl TAX :)

Lgitech mouse and keyboard - 676 (with tax)
Lg dvd writer - 1,300 (with tax)
Atx cabinet with smps mercury - 1,200 (with tax) <- make sure its 450 watts at-least
Pci express 16x card XFX geforce 512 mb dedicated memory - 3,744 (with tax) <- looks to me 8400 GS 512 MB :( so, say no to this card if you are thinking for gaming :p, minimum would be 8600 GT if thinking gaming :) or if just week end gaming then go for 8400 GS 256 MB :) which is Rs. 2100/- + TAX
Monitor TFT LG 17 inch normal - 9256 (with tax) <- :shock: View Sonic 19" TFT vg1930wm is Rs. 9200/- + TAX

Creative 5.1 inspire - 3,640 (with tax)
Pixel view tv tuner card internal - 1000 (with tax) <- go for pinnacle TV tuner kit for vista :) which is Rs. 2100/- + TAX

are u same as vrslvrs???
see the post *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=732570&postcount=1940

this config wud be much better if gaming is primary need *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=732581&postcount=1941

And dun get fooled by PCIE 16x 512MB geforce
it might even be the worst 7200, nd even some onboards will perform better than that. And an 8800GT comes close to nvidia's most powerful 8800GTX/U.
And an oced E6550 will perform much better than Q6600 in games, nd u shud think of Q if u really need it, coz they comes at premium.
BTW where are u from?

@s18000rpm
the PSU is fitted upside down and the fan takes air from inside nd thwows out thru rear grill.

Thanks Choto cheeta.

My purpose is mostly for Movies, watching DVDs, Listening Music, Internet, and chatting. Gaming is only occasionally.

I guess even the old pentium 4 processor will suffice my purpose. But all i want is Midrange.

8600 GTS 5,500 :cry: is there any 8500 GTS card pricing at 3,500 ??? :)

(playing old games at full quality and playing latest games at medium quality is enough for me)

Then E6750 @ 7.5k and 8600GT for 4.9k is best combination. And cards like 8500GT cant even handle games like Crysis even at medium. And with newer games like Assasin Creed, at least an 8600GT is recommended.
just read the req of assasin creed: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78809

And opt for a 19"wide than a 17". Widescreen is better for movies and also get a gud 5.1 like Logitech X 540.
the complete config:
E7650: 7.5k
XFX 650iU: 4.8k [if its available]
2GB DDR2 800:2k
250GB HDDseagate 16MB:2.6k
LG DVDRW: 1.2k
iball/mercury cabby with 450W PSU: 1.2k
Logitech/MS Keyboard nd mouse: 0.7k
Any 8600GT: 5k [even XFX wud do as ur not a serious gamer nd wud not go for extreme oc]
Logitech X 540: 5.2k
Viewsonic 19" Wide: 9.5k
---------------------------------------
total : 39.7k

Processor : max budget 6k. Tell me a good one for the above.

SLI with x8 support is quite meaning less... :( anyway, ABiT IP35-E with 8600 GT is quite a good :) for processor I think E4500 would come under that budget :)
