Asus is out of my budget right now.. Will try for other brands.. I kinda like XFX.. Would it be wise to buy an XFX if i can test it properly at the shop itself?

Also.. I need a 19" LCD with price.. I heard Viewsonic has some dead pixel problems?

yes, extra hardware is needed, like a USB based wifi dongle :) which is around Rs. 750 to 900/- in Kolkata :)

just an off topic suggestion, for your need, I, personally think, Compaq V6608AU which is Rs. 35200/- with 2 GB RAM (incl tax) would be best :)

but are you strictly fond of desktop ??

^^why don't you get from them directly(purchase online and they'll ship it to you)?This way you'll save taxes too(vat and sales tax) if you order directly from them and declare that you are yourself going to use it(i.e. you are not a reseller).This tax exception is there in case of laptops but I am not sure about LCD's,so wait for somebody else to confirm.

My Config is in my sig. I am using Xp [Games] + Ubuntu[Net surf + Multimedia]

I currently have 1 gb ram. I think its just "adequate" for my needs but do 1 gb more will help boost performance?

Games I play : Caeser IV, Commandos III, AoE III, AoM Titans etc.

I have closed in as a possible replacement for my current config: Cel 900Mh/810 mobo/256MB SD
Replacement: AMD X2 4800+/K9AGM2/1GB DDR2 666MHz and a new cabinet.

I want to know how good is this combination?

My budget is under 7.5k.
Can any body mention a better combo under the same price, please?

@lywyre
I think for 7.5k, thats the best deal. Dont get 2*512 even if it gives better performance than single 1Gb, coz K9A GM2 has only 2 mem slots nd if u go for 2*512, then future upgrade id difficult.
Go for 1Gb now nd get another 1Gb 667 same brand before 800 becomes mainstream[orelse u can get an 800Mhz module now itself for some 200~250 bucks more].

Thanx guyz. As of now, it would be only one 1GB and as Aravind suggested its going to be 800 MHz. Thanks again.
