Well I won't do the Sin of calling it a rig but when I say CPU

CPU= processor+ mobo+ GPU+ RAM+ HDD

=> 15000= ? + ?+ ? + 1200+ 2200

does that help ??

Need to upgrade CPU only.

Hi.
I need to upgrade my current desktop. I just need to change the CPU unit. I already have the DVD-RW, speakers etc.
Basically want to change
a. Processor (Intel only)
b. Motherboard (with LAN card)
c. CPU cabinet & SMPS
d. Graphics Card
e. Sound Card
e. RAM

1. My budget for this is about 20K.
2. I use my PC basically for net MSOffice, Net surfing & occasional gaming like Age of Empires (not the FPS kind of games)

Would I easily get the above products at Lamington Road Mumbai?
Please help me out. Thanks.

thats a decent config though it's overpriced. You will need a graphics card if you want to play games & yeah update the firmware of the hdd asap.

 

[IronManForever]

Guys, can I get help with this?

Purpose:
- Home Server / Download Box / Internet PC for guests which will be on 24/7..
- Should be able to stream Media (music/movies)
- Cheapest and lowest power consumption configuration that is possible.

- Need only the Box, no monitor, no KB & mouse, no speakers, no UPS.
- Also, no HDD and ODD.

No budget as such. But I think it will be settled for really low. I will be RAIDing 2 X 1TB Hardisks.

The least priced Core i7(i920) is @ 15.5k

Or get a Quad Core like Q8200 for as low as 8.6k or like

And for Mobo, get a MSI P45 Neo F @ 7k or MSI P45 Platinum @ 11k..Both were best deal
Regarding gfx card, go for Palit 9800GTX+ AMP! Edition @ 12.5k..Best Deal...

19"-20" monitor
Altec Lansing VS2421

E7300 - 5.8k
MSI P7NGM Digital - around 7k / ASUS P5N 7A VM & Zotac GF9300 - dunno the price
2GB DDR2 Kingston - 1100
320GB WD 16MB AAKS - 2.4k / WD 500GB - 3.2k
Samsung DVD+RW - 1.1k
CM EP500W - 2.7k
Zebronics Antibiotic - 2k
Logitech Wireless kit - 1.3k
ViewSonic 19" - 8.5k
Altec Lansing VS2421 - 2.4k
Total - more than you quote...

So try lowering ur config by altering the Mobo to ASUS P5K PL CM @ 2.5k, as GF9300 wont do any magic in games.You better save money and get a good gfx card later on.

I can go upto 35000. that's not a prob. further i will a gfx card later, may be hd4850. do you think it will last 2 years as i will buy another more powerful pc 2 years later, so right now i don't need the greatest hardware.

what's about amd config?

If you are not much into gaming, then it will. Cause most of the games nowadays were more GPU dependent and so will need a GPU to handle that at atleast lowest settings. So better back off from GF9300.
Better get a Mobo like ASUS P5K PL CM @ 2.5k and a GPU like 8600GT(3k)/9500GT(3.5k,Zotac one) totalled around 6k, still 1k lower than MSI P7NGM Mobo,with 9300 Chipset. And can able to play some new games at low-mid settings..But still, the choice is yours.If i were you, i'd sure go for second option, by just ignore the 9300 one.

You are expecting too much at such restricted budget..Anyhow here you go..
E2200 @ 2.2GHz - 3.3k
Any G31 Chipset Mobo - around 3k(like Gigabyte G31 or ASUS P5K PL CM @ 2.5k)
Zebronics Cabinet - 1.1k(with SMPS)
2GB DDR2 - 1k
WD 320GB 16MB - 2.5k
Samsung DVD+RW - 1.1k
Samsung MIST 17" - 7.2k
Logitech Combo - 0.8k
APC 500VA - 2.5k or Numeric - 1.7k
Logitech Quickcam Go - 0.8k

Total - 22k

You have to extend ur budget by atleast 2k, to get this stuff.Otherwise get a cheap 17" CRT Monitor for 4.3k, which reduce a whooping 3k from ur budget..
