I'm just trying to get the OP best prices possible as many dealers rip off people. Your suggested config was great though.

^^ As it is, the prices we quote are not set in stone.

They will vary region to region, unless the user picks them from the website we recommend. But I have noticed, people are still scared to purchase from websites in India.

I knew it, but i just wanted to say the OP that the prices quoted by you was not final..

Hey guys, sorry for interrupting the discussion... Can somebody suggest me a good UPS for my config ?? Back-up time is not important. Only it should be sufficient for my current config and future upgrades.

Thanks in advance.

Yup, they can get lower anytime.

Agreed. No one trusts online vendors easily.

Hi All,

I am planning to assemble a multipurpose pc for my home. My requirements are

1.Planning to install windows 7, windows vista and ubuntu Linux.

2.I will be using VMware workstation on that, so it will have to run many VMware slides simultaneously e.g. win2008,win2003 server and xp clients
for learning purpose.

3.Planning to buy LG monitor TV full hd with hdmi port so my pc should be used as HTPC to watch HD-dvd and Blue ray movies

4.I play games so it should support all mid range games

5.Few graphics software's like 3d studio max and Maya (learning only)

For HTPC I need the motherboard with HDMI port becoz of my tight budget I might go for graphics card in future.

I came across a Asus motherboard M4A785G HTPC/RC for HTPC configuration (*asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=vhi75jnBeZVzizh0). What do you guys say about this mobo and what will be the cost and does this support all my other needs. Also shortlisted ASUS M3N78-EM. or any other mobo for the above mentioned requirements. Please suggest

Which processor shud I go for : Intel or AMD ? If AMD which one is good Athlon2 or phenom2 ?

I seek advice from all you experts in this forum to build a pc which should meet all my requirements and please suggest me a good configuration within budget. My pc shud not be outdated soon.

@ etaha Use Google for most of your queries, then post back. We'll help you out after that

Then what for these forums are? Krow, you're just doing this from past few days itself. No one in the world knows everything. Even i was a n00b before i entered into this forum. But now, its not. So a post count of more than 1000 doesn't make you the master.

If he doesn't know a thing about assembling, you better try to help or just leave his post.

We all get a solution if we google it hard. And even in search results, most of the solutions where only from forums.

So stop acting like a genius. If you wanna help him,do it. if not, then leave it aside

@etaha

Its coolermaster dude...

ATI CrossFire is a brand name for ATI Technologies' multi-GPU solution. The technology allows up to four graphics cards to be used in a single computer to improve graphics performance.

Its better you buy as new, as intel starts ignoring LGA775 and moving towards i5/i7 and so on with AMD.So newer is always better....

I have not said anywhere that I am the master, nor have I ridiculed his post anywhere. Read this if you did not already. *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12964

Another symptom of this error is getting the following answer:

"You question has been answered a zillion times. Please use a decent search engine
and/or search our archives before posting any future questions"
or
"RTFM"
"STFW"
"Google is your best friend"

and others.

Yes, I will do whatever you tell me to from now on. You are ruler of this planet alright.

Ah yes, since you are genius enough to know that, thank you for enlightening the world with your great knowledge.

So stop acting like a genius. If you wanna help him,do it. if not, then leave it aside

Hmmmm..... Thank you Einstein. I will from now on listen to the great mind behind your enormous skull. I will do your bidding and you shall rule each and every one of my actions.

You'd better spend the time instead quoting all these facts, into helping him to know what he doesn't.. . It'd atleast helped him. But now, its of no use...

FYI I read the post even before you...

 

[Krow]

^I already told him to google, which IMO, considering that OP said he is a noob is a good place to start. Now what else do you want me to suggest, my ruler? www.wikipedia.org ?
