jas, not seen your config. yours look good but the 17" won't be a good choice for watching HD videos. too small.

I think MSI 785GM-E51 @3.7k would be better than Bio* TA785G3. It got HDMI too. Get a benQ 20" at 5.8k, thought the missing DVI & HDMI will be a loss, but budget PCs are like that only. Don't go for DDR2 as it will limit your upgrades in future. Even with the lower L2 cache, I think X3 would be a better choice.

It's listed on Lynx-India for Rs. 3885, got to be 200 bucks lower in the market. Nobody would buy that mobo for 4.5k, it's not worth that much, 3.7-3.9k is enough. Prices fall to reasonable levels within a couple of months if a product is overpriced.

OK, still it should be around 3.9k with taxes in the market. Somehow I find the board better than TA785G3, unless G3 HD is available around the same price.
