I suppose you dont need LCD, Speakers and keyboard+mouse....so I will suggest something

E7200
XFX 630i
Transcend 2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
ASUS PCIe 8600GT 256MB GDDR3
Zebronics Bijli cabinet
LiteOn LH-20-A1H optical drive
Seagate SATA 250GB HDD

around 22-23k.....sorry for the expenditure but this rig will be good for gaming so get it!

^^+1 for KPower_Mania's config.....

I haven't seen anywhere any comparison about the inbuilt sound quality.

yes its sad that we have new reviews but actually all Intel based mobo which are coming out these days have on-board sound processing chip from realtek called realtek ALC888
it gives o/p upto 7.1 channel sound and gives High Defination sound ..and only audiophiles can tell the difference ...

its good and it gets the job done ...

it can work for all the normal people but people looking for ...but for audiophiles its better to go for dedicated sound card ..

here are some other interesting thoughts ..i read ..and i agree with many of them cos i have used two sound cards in past from creative and their driver supports is pathetic ...

@ a_k_s_h_a_y

E7200- 5100
Gigabyte G31- 2500
2GB transcend 800 - 1800
Xpertvision 9600 GT - 5900
WD 250 GB - 2200
Glacial Star GS-500A PSU- 1100
Zebroniocs Bijli without SMPS- 1200

Total= 19800 Rs ... Awesome VFM rig.
And dnt underestimate the PSU ... iys a new company but good stable PSU with Dual 12 V rails having total 29 A (16+13). Its running the same specs, only 9800 GT inplace of 9600 GT on my rig.

Intel C2D E2180
Intel DG31PR
Transcend 1x2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
Hitachi 160GB SATA
LiteOn LH-20-A1H
Zebronics Bijli cabinet
Logitech Multimedia keyboard+mouse
Dell 178WFP 17" LCD
Altec Lansing BXR1121 2.1 speakers

that pretty much makes the config. It will run the apps without problems. If you still neeed more juice, then you can put in a ASUS PCIe 8600GT 256MB GDDR3 grafix card for as low as 2800/-

 

[sshakehar]

thnxx k power
can u tell me the individual price of the components?

agree with this config except..

but better go for 2Gb transcend 800 MHz single stick ..now cos this mobo has only two RAM slot ..so buying two 1Gb sticks will exhaust all the upgrade options ..so better go for 2Gb stick now ..and add another 2gb later on ...

also i think

E7200=5.4k (this is the proccer u must buy for ur photoshop needs)
Asus P5KPL-CM =2.8k
transcend 2Gb 800 MHz single stick=1.9k(must add another 2Gb if u re heavy photoshop user)
seagate 300Gb =2.5k
dell 198WPF 19" LCD =9.7k(why go for 17" when u can buy 19" ..for photoshop it would be ideal)
zebronics bijli=1.5k
logitech mouse+keboard=0.7k

total 24.5 k ..u can buy speaker for 500 rupees or add 600 more and buy what kpower is suggesting ..

this is more value of money config for u

Where? At theitwares, even Palit 8600GT 256 DDR3 costs Rs.4250/-

ASUS recently launched the cheapest 8600GT for 2800/-.....it must have not arrived at theitwares
