Sir,

Purpose of PC---Basic net surfing and 3D gaming (Not high end)
Maxi. budget 30k (Excluding speakers and UPS)

**Which is the equivalent processor of AMD for Intel i3?--Which is to be preferred?
*Which is the best suited motherboard for the same?

**Is it better to have have inbuilt graphics card or incorporate it later?
*Tell me best graphics card for me.

I am bit confused due to too much technical things, hence could not decide my final configuration.
Pls simplify.

Basic net surfing and 3D gaming
for 3D gaming a good monitor alone will cost you around 30k...

AMD Athlon II X4 635 @ 5k would be way better than core I3...
Motherboard MSI 880GMA-E45 or Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H

in your budget i doubt you can get a good GFX card and the IGP will do..

4GB is cheap now...and it doesn't hurt to get more RAM..

here's your config..

AMD Athlon II X4 635 @ 5k
MSI 880GMA-E45 @ 5k
G Skill 2X2GB RAM @ 3.7k
Seagate 500GB @ 1.7k
LG SATA DVD+RW @ 0.9k
NZXT GAMMA @ 2.2k
FSP SAGA II 400W @ 2k
Benq G2220 @ 7.5k
Logitech Keyboard + mouse @ 0.8k

Total around 28k..if you want you can go for 1TB Seagate for 2.8k

For casual gaming also you need a graphics card, specially in a 22" full HD display. So modifying a little.

Athlon II 440 3 GHz @ 3.5K

Total 28.9K. This config will allow you to play games in medium details.

hi,
I got following quotation in Solapur. Few things are not available easily here:

*Intel i3 3.06GHz-- Rs.5350

*DH55PJ intel MoBo-- Rs.4800

*Dynet 2GB X 2 RAM-- 3300 (4gb not available here, told to cost more than 8000 Rs )

*Seagate 500Gb-- 1950

*Cabinet:ATX-Soliter-- 1450

*Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse-- 1500

*LG 20 inch LED monitor--7000

*LG DVD RW-- 1000

*1Gb Graphics card(Shall get details soon, just missed somehow)-- 3450

* Assembly charges--1000

---------Is it okay? OR Still bargaining should be done for better deal?

---------Person here is telling that u don't need any other power supply, it is integrated in cabinet. IS it so ?? CORSAIR is not available here.

Don't go for Dynet RAMs.
Also I noticed in the 1st post you mentioned that you want the rig for gaming('cause 3D gaming aint possible in 30k).Going by that don't go for a card less than 5670.GPU for 3.5k - I don't think its very good.
Don't go for the PSUs that come along with the cabinets.Looking at the list given to you by the retailer go for FSP Saga II 400W or Seasonic 380W.

Ok, after some basic reading of this site I have thought this would/might be good configuration.
Kindly guide me if I am wrong anywhere.

*Intel i3-540 3.06GHz
*MoBo--really confused, tell me good brand
*4GB OR 2GB X 2 RAM (Corsair Or Kingston)
*Seagate 500GB Hard disk
*LG SATA DVD+RW
*CM Elite 310
*Corsair VX 450 power supply
*Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse
*LG 20 inch LED monitor (OR LCD? Confusion)
*NVIDIA GeForce GTX 250


Can any one tell me name and addresses of 2--3good shops for above @Pune?

 

[ssb1551]

"GTX 250" - you sure about that?I checked smc,theitwares,techshop,mediahome.None had the card.Did you by any chance mean "GTS 250"?
Well if it is GTS 250,I would advise you to drop it & go for GTS450(if you want only nVidia) 'cause 1GB GTS 250 costs around 7k & GTS 450 is available for around 7.5k.
But since you want it more for gaming than rendering/animation, I think you should go for HD5770.
