Holly Cow, I didn't know it was possible to build a complete PC within 15K!!!

Good Work Cilus!!

 

[vineetrocks2005]

Is it possible to build an Intel config in 14K ?

Secondly, from where do you get these prices ?

 

[Cilus]

Yes it is possible, but not with the Sandybridge or even Nehalem based core i5/i3 CPU. You have to rely on old Pentium Dual core based Processors like E5800 and G41 chipset based DDR3 motherboard. They are EOL already for more than 1 years and upgrade path can be considered closed. Also they perform far lower than Athlon II X2 processors.

Intel Config is not possible unless you want Used C2D Processor + Mobo Combo
At your Budget AMD is the ONLY way to go.

Cilus nice configuration just change processor to Athlon x3 445 for 3,400

 

[Cilus]

Thanks. Ya, changing the CPU to a X3 is a good upgrade. Let OP confirm first if he can increase his budget by 1K.

Actually I have to assemble some computers for a small school. They only need it for programming and some office work and they only need Intel based config. Secondly, please tell me a config based on G41 and dual core processors.

^^ Why intel Based config.. If it is by their Choice then Ok but if not what can be any particular Reason for this..

 

[vaibhav23]

May be because many people think AMD is a cheap company.I have heard many shopkeepers in my city telling this

 

[avichandana20000]

^^
+1.

Still many think that INTEL is INTEL
and AMD is TRYING to catch it up in vain and for personal use only.

 

[Skyh3ck]

And India is IT hub of the world.....

Think a world without AMD..... No one would afford computer then......

 

[vineetrocks2005]

I am myself a big fan of AMD, using it from the past 4 years. But I am not able to convince them to use it, that's why I asked for the Intel config...

 

[Cilus]

Then get the following CPU and mobo:-

Pentium Dual Core E6600 3.06 GHz (1066 MHz FSB, 2MB L2)
Asus P5G41T-M-LX3 @ 2.45K

Note: These dual core CPUs are not Pentium D. These are based on C2D architecture with 45nm fabrication process with SSE4 instruction set disabled.
