thanks u janitha and keith for ur suggestions...
@ keith
i didn't said that q6700 is the only option for dg965ry, i said that 36700 is the highest compatible processor for my board according to intel's site. please refer to my link.

the latest processor that supports my motherboard i found is e4600 2.4ghz, 2mb l2cache, 800mhz fsb. this cost me rs.5350. i'm not into gaming so its better using it for next 2-3 years with e4600 rather than loosing it. may be get a new computer (without monitor) when according to budget later on.

thank u once again for ur valuable suggestions. hope u people will continue helping we forum members with ur knowledge and suggestions.

^M3A78-EMH HDMI is the best of all because it has VGA, DVI and HDMI, all 3 on one board so u have multiple outputs.

errr....I guess both models have all 3 onboard according to AMD website....thats funny!!!!
M3A78-EMH HDMI
Code: 
*products.amd.com/en-us/MotherboardDetail.aspx?id=86
M3A78-EH
Code: 
*products.amd.com/en-us/MotherboardDetail.aspx?id=91

Please correct me if i am wrong

The asus website is not giving me proper details

Also tell me if GA-MA74GM-S2H is good

Tell me which one is good amongst the three

M3A78-EH - Non HDMI and Full ATX board. (No VGA,DVI,HDMI port - But will work in Hybrid X-Fire)
M3A78-EMH HDMI - HDMI and micro ATX form factor. (Onboard VGA, DVI and HDMI)

Scroll through the end of the page and compare I/O panel.

The Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2H - It has 2 DIMMS (max. 800Mhz) and has 740G.

M3A78-EMH HDMI is by far the best option.

Buy Sound blaster or ASUS Xonar!
Onboard sound chips are almost the same in every board. U will find some high end boards with some quality sound cards otherwise all are same.

Hi,

I want to buy a PC within 20K +/- 5k range just for basic purposes like word processing, surfing, etc(replacing my old P3). After going through this thread I am thinking about this config:

AMD X2 4200+ @ Rs. 2900 /- + TAX
ASUS M2A-VM @ Rs. 3200 /-
2 GB DDR-II 667 MHz @ Rs. 1800 /-
Any Local Cabinet with 450 watts SMPS @ Rs. 1200 /-
Logitech Keyboard Mouse Combo @ Rs. 700 /-
UPS Local Brand @ Rs. 1400 /-
19" Samsung @10400 /-

approx 21k /- + tax

I already have a HDD, speakers and a DVD writer, so I don't need them.
Also I might buy a gfx card later for some gaming(ASUS 8600GT).

Is this config good or should I change some specs. Please comment.

Thanks in advance:)

^^ya if u do only casual things than its very good. Serious multimedia and gaming than not good. I suggest u stick the Intel E2160 + Intel D945G. around a difference of 100-200 bucks but will get good performance! Ur graphic card is good for casual gaming

^^Thanks for the reply.

But isn't E2160 'Pentium Dual Core'?? Will that be better than AMD X2??

And how is E4300(please tell me the price too) instead of E2160.

nope its a severly cut-down version of the Core 2 Duo's but easily outperforms YOUR choosen X2. E4300 is better than the E2160. i'll tell u the price as soon as i get it but i approx it not to be more than 3.5k
