I most likely burnt my laptop's GPU tonight and will be needing a new pc. I have only 23k at my disposal atm, but also have HDDs, kb, mouse, monitor already so what I need is quality mobo and cpu which I can upgrade over time, so as to make it a capable blender rendering machine. I would also like the cabinet to be as portable as possible. So here are the questionnaire answers:

What requirements pose 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: Web development, lots of tabs in chrome, HD content viewing atm.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 23k, that's all I got.

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: nope

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows and some Linux distro.

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Already have.

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: Not atm. Old 17" CRT.

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: HDD, kb, mouse, monitor.

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: within 2 weeks.

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: By myself.

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. Open to either.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:

If you can add another 5k by selling off your old 17" CRT & laptop then you can get a good LED monitor & HDD like this:

WD Caviar Blue 1TB -4100.

Hi [MENTION=22157]Chetan1991[/MENTION],

If you are open for AMD configuration, maybe it will fulfill your requirements

CPU: AMD FX-6300
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-990FXA AM3+

If you are looking for the Intel build, I also recommend you to go with the [MENTION=105611]bssunil[/MENTION] configuration.

Hope it helps.

anfx 6300/8320 based rig would better for rendering. afaik blender supports discrete gpus too.
