Home PC Recommendation !!

[chiri_amit]

Hello,

I plan to buy a PC for my home. It will be majorly used for basic internet surfing, teaching kids(<5yrs) & to get my kids acquainted with computers, internet etc.

I am looking for a very economical, reliable, modular & upgradable PC configuration & a reliable shop/place from where I can buy in bangalore. The motherboard should be the latest & the fastest & one which can support future hardware's which can be bought later as & when required.

I am not looking for gaming PC as my kids are very small & I do not want to expose them to high definition 3D gaming as of now.

My budget is strictly less than 20K (as low as possible but the best core products like motherboard/CPU/RAM & graphics card)

Please help me here.

Amit

If you are living in Koramangala, then on 80ft road (while going from NGV to Forum) there is a shop by name "Multiple", above Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC), which sells computer stuff at very competitive prices (which you will perhaps get at SP Road after wasting a day or more in bargaining).
Otherwise if you know someone in Bangalore who has experience, take him along on your way to SP Road..
