Hi all I am planning to upgrade my computer. My budget is around Rs.20,000 .
Let me tell u what I am going to keep
1. DVD writer
2. Keyboard/mouse
3. Speakers
4. HDD
Now what I need
1. Monitor (LCD 17"" or 19")
2. Memory (2GB)
3. MotherBoard
4. Processor
5. Cabinet
I am open to AMD as well as Intel for the choice of processors but I am afraid that many of the softwares including my XP setup will not work for the 64bit architecture in AMD processors. Please suggest me a nice config.

Every new CPU ou t in the market is 64Bit.
1. go for a Dell 198WFP
2. Transcend 1x2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
3. XFX 630i (nice onboard IGP).
4. Intel Core2Duo E7200
5. Zebronics Bijli

Yeah Dell 19" WFP is the best 19 inch LCD.
But this is not the cheaper one whereas u can get some decent 19inch LCD's for 8K too from LG, SAMSUNG or other brands.
And i m not sure if his entire list comes within his budget if he goes for this.
Dude Kpower has suggested the best config. for u but u need to stretch the budget a lil bit.
For almost 9800/- u get only the 19inch LCD for rest of 10200/- u can't get all the stuff except u go with the used ones.

E7200 = 5.5k
XFX 630i - 3.2k

Thanks fro ur valuable inputs. So if all are 64 bit then surely I will have to arrange for new XP setup or will the 32bit setup work on 64 bit system.
Well thanks for the input, but then I will have to shell out more money for the cabinet but it is alright with me. Some questions
1. XFX 630i has support for dual channel RAM?
2. Does it has a PCI-e 16x slot
Friends can u also suggest me a alternative AMD setup.
Thank you

630i has only limitation that it supports single channel RAM.
Yes it has PCI-Ex x16 slot onto it.
AMD setup:
ASUS M3A78EH, MSI K9A2GM & several from various brands. But keep in mind that u buy AMD 7-series chipset or nVidia 8200 series chipset, they are better chipsets than any other chipset available.
ASUS M2A-VM(AMD690G), ASUS M2N-VM(nVidia 630A).
AMD4600+ @ 2750/-
X3 8450 @ 4900/-

Intel will be better.
And yus, all 32Bit OSes work on 64Bit system.
I am posting this from Vista 32Bit on an Intel C2D rig.

Thanks for that info friend.
Also the GEforce 8200m based motherboard has great onboard graphics right. But I also know that I will have to compromise on the processor then. But still tell me name of a good AMD proccy to go with that mobo.
And also friends I have heard good things bout Samsung SyncMaster 943NW, I can save 500 bucks there. But I really don't know how much edge the Dell 198wfp has over it. Waiting for your suggestions

Well if ur budget allows u then go for X3 8450 otherwise go for X2 5200+
Samsung SyncMaster 943NW has only one video input (D-Sub or VGA) whereas DELL SP198WFP has dual display options (D-sub & DVI) so u can attach 2 displays to single monitor. By spending 500/- more u get one extra display option. Besides, DVI is better than VGA.
LG W1642S.(wide).
AOC 519SW.(wide).
AOC 1619SW.(wide).
Dell E1609W.(wide).
VIEWSONIC VA1616W.(wide).
There u go! I believe there must be some more available so sit back for more suggestions.

Thanks for clearing my doubt for which monitor to choose. If I go for the AMD phenom proccy X3 8450 and the Geforce 8200 based mobo then will it be better than a E7200+XFX 630i or I am just wasting my money over the AMD setup?
C2D is better if u want games,movies ..it has an edge over X3 architecture and E7200 is really good proccy ...u can do anything with it ,that is required from any processor to do!

(Looking for comp@ddict..)
I agree with imgame(i never say ^^+1) and E7200+XFX 630i is sure a lot better than AMD counterpart..... Dont hesitate to pick that.....

16" lcd...
17" acer - 7500
17" ViewSonic - 7900
17" Samsung - 8400
(Prices mentioned above are here in Chennai.. So it varies by +/- few bucks....)
With few bucks added you get a 19" lcd...
ViewSonic 19" LCD costs about 9200 Rs and its really good one... (BTW I use the ViewSonic 19" one...
)

OK guyz thanks for ur suggestions. So as all of you'll are praising the E7200 so much I will go with it. I asked for the Geforce 8200 bcoz it won the Best IGP solution in PC world july awards. But now it is OK and I will route for E7200+ XFX630i

Phenom X3 8450
Its the best for u & besides its a 45nm(Penryn Core) processor(the best processor) which can be overclocked upto 4GHZ!
Can u give us some price range? It will be easier for us to suggest u whats the best for u.
