Buddy, 30K is a good budget for the components you've mentioned. But I'll suggest you to upgrade to a Wide sceen and higher resolution LCD panesl. CRT is not accepectable now a days and a good LCD can be accomodate your budget too without sacrifysing anything. CRT is simply not suitable for HD movies.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 6.4K
Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 AM3+ @ 4.8K
Corsair 4GB X 2 1333 MHz DDR3 Value Ram @ 2.2K
Corsair CX 430V2 @ 2.4K
NZXT Source 201 Elite @ 2.4K
Optional Upgrades:
Display: BenQ G2220HD 21.5" 1080P Full HD LCD @ 7K
Graphics card: Sapphire HD 5670 512 MB GDDR5 @ 3.9K


Total 28.9K. This config is a highly balanced config for your programming and HTPC purpose as well as added benefit of gaming.

Other wise:

Phenom II X6 1075T (6 core, 6 MB L3, 3 MB L2, 3 GHz) @ 8K (techshop.in)
Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 AM3+ @ 4.8K
Corsair 4GB X 2 1333 MHz DDR3 Value Ram @ 2.2K
Corsair CX 430V2 @ 2.4K
NZXT Source 201 Elite @ 2.4K
Sapphire HD 5670 512 MB GDDR5 @ 3.9K

Total 23.7K. You can still get an HD Display with it.

Thank you so much for the quick reply Cilus. I prefer Intel processor. If you could provide a config with Intel processor, that would be great.

Thanks.

Cilus's given config is very good , go with that . If you have any reason for only going for Intel please tell why (any specific application).

 

[Cilus]

^^ If you want only Intel based config then try to get Core i5 2400 @ 11K and Intel DH67BL-B3 @ 5.4K.

The AMD Phenom II based config is a nice suggestion from CILUS.

Fetch few more hundreds by selling off the CRT monitor.

Here goes your Intel config.

Component | Make | Price Processor |Intel Core i5 2320|9300
Motherboard |MSI H67MA-E35 B3|4500
RAM |Gskill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL|1600
Graphic Card |Sapphire HD5670|4000
PSU |FSP Saga II 500w / Corsair GS600|2400 / 4000
Case |NZXT GAMMA|2000
Monitor |Benq G2220HD|6800
| Total |>30000

Intel I5 2400 @ 10499
Intel dh67bl @ 5000
Corsair xms3 4gb 1333mhz @ 1300
PSU Corsair cx 500 v2 @ 3000
cabinet corsair 400r @3999
+5% tax on all purchase

with remaining amount, u either get gpu or upgrade for better monitor.. If u feel cabinet is too cost, u can go for nzxt source 210 elite or gamma.

U can buy everything locally in s.p.road....

Thanks rajesh.

One question, Is it better to buy from SP Road or from any online site. I just checked with PrimeABGB. The price there for I5 2400 is 10500/- and DH67BL is Rs.5800/- .

 

[IndianRambo]

^^ yes, its a good site.. First check locally, u will get better deal. If not,go online for particular product... i had experience with anandit and golchha at s.p.road.. they are good, u can make good deal with anandit...

Even i am from tirupur, i prefer buying in bangalore.. whenever i need a upgrade i'll travel there, i dont prefer online much. Bangalore rates are better than chennai (which is second largest electronic market in india).

 

[linuxman]

Thanks rajesh. I checked with all the SP Road shops, price is bit high everywhere compared to primeabgb.
