comment on this budget config

[gurujee]

Hello,
want to assemble a budget desktop for casual use at home. I dont much about products and prices. Please guide. Here's what I have selected. Prices are taken from deltapage & Itwares.

Are the prices right ? Would be great if i save few bucks by further changes.

Intel Dual Core 1.8 GHz E 2160 - 800 FSB/1MBCache rs.3150
Intel DG31PR Intel� G31 Express Chip 1333 FSB rs.3300
Transcend DDR2 1 GB 800 Mhz rs.875
Seagate Sata 2 250 GB (8MB Buffer) rs.2450
Asus 20x dvd writer rs. 1225
I-Ball Engine X(With 400W SMPS) rs.1450
Samsung 16'' LCD 632 NW rs.6950
Logitech Cordless Keyboard + Mouse Set Ex 110 rs.925
APC 500VA rs. 2150

how about this:

Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Rs.2.5k
MSI K9A2GM-FIH 4.6k
Transcend DDR2 1 GB 800 Mhz rs.875
Seagate Sata 2 250 GB (8MB Buffer) rs.2450
Asus 20x dvd writer rs. 1225
I-Ball Engine X(With 400W SMPS) rs.1450
Samsung 16'' LCD 632 NW rs.6950
Logitech Cordless Keyboard + Mouse Set Ex 110 rs.925

for intel config, get ASUS P5K PL VM mobo instead of Intel mobo.

CPU: Athlon 64 X2 4600+
Mobo: Biostar TA780G M2+ ( ~Rs.3100! *www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us/t-series/content.php?S_ID=344)
DVD Writer: LG is cheaper and hasnt given me any problem for 2 yrs
Rest same.

Athlon 64 X2 4600+ is better than E2160 acc. to CPU charts on tom's hardware.

Mobo 3100 ? Where ? When ?
And the last time I checked, 4600+ was 3.1K. How price so low ?

@MetalheadGautham
I checked that mobo's price today morning by phone in pune (coz i'm also buying it in few days). Abacus peripherals sells biostar mobos.

 

[Psychosocial]

^^Gimmi Biostar i45 . One of the best mobos out there .

 

[MenTaLLyMenTaL]

^^These prices i got from him -

1) BIOSTAR TPOWER i45 7200+4% = 7488
2) BIOSTAR TP45 5900+4% = 6136
3) BIOSTAR TP43D2-A7 3840+4% = 3994
4) BIOSTAR A780G-M2+ SE 2990+4% = 3110

The TP45 - i dunno if that rate is for TP45D2-A7 or TP45 HP.

 

[Psychosocial]

wats the difference between 5900 and 7200 ?

 

[MenTaLLyMenTaL]

That was a quick reply!
i45 is the most overclockable board out there (world record they say) and has crossfire support.

TP45D2-A7 isnt made for overclocking i believe and no crossfire.

Go for Asus P5KPL-CM motherboard.....
Samsung SH-S203 22x for 1.1k or so......
Zebronics Bijli with 400W PSU for 1.6k or so.......
You can get 16MB Buffer 320GB WD HDD for 2.5k or so......
