Hey guys. One of my friends needs a cabinet/CPU config for 15 k. Here's the template


1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: home use. A little bit of gaming.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 15k. Not a penny more

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: no

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7/8.

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 500 GB should be enough.

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: No monitor required.

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Keyboard, Mouse, UPS, Speakers.

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Withing a month

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I'll help him.

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: Himachal Pradesh. Some stuff can be ordered online.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: He just needs a new PC for home use. A little bit of gaming. I think that Fusion processors will do well. His old P4 PC died. He already has a 19" monitor so that will do the work of display. BTW, he's doing mechanical engineering. He may require it to power up his AutoCAD or Pro-E homework.

I could not get a cheaper Config for your needs.
I suggest your friend uses the inbuilt HD 3000 which can run many games till 2010 and later upgrade to a different GFX

Local prices may vary and you can get it for at least Rs. 17500

Damn those HDDs are expensive.. He will never put a graphics card in his computer. Not likely in the coming 3 years as he already has a laptop and stays out of the town. How about if we can get a cheap but good SMPS for 1.5k? And, that A6 config is good. Carlon, your config is good too, but I highly doubt that I can get my hands on Phenom II 560. I think that I'll go with the A6 one. Thanks. But, can you guys suggest a cheap PSU for 1.5k?

You can get the Phenom II 560 on flipkart
For 1.5k you will only get local brands PSU's which won't last very long
You can get a CM 350 for 1.7k but i don't know about its performance
