^^ The config is good. Just one suggestion, instead of H61 based board, we can suggest Intel DH67VR-B3 @ 4.8K, just 1.3K more than the H61 board. It will offer the customer better upgradability options and also provide extra feature set like SATA 3 and USB3.0.

@ Skud - I found Altec Lansing BXR1221 sounds more good than Logitech Z313 - just personal experience though keeping them both side by side.

@ Cilus - Intel DH67VR-B3 is really better than Intel H61 mobo and worth the extra cost but how good is MSI H67MA-E35 which is 200 bucks less than that ??

Intel core i3 2100 @ 5.5k
Intel DH67VR-B3 @ 4.8k
2GB Corsair Value Ram 1.1k
FSP saga II 350W PSU 1.4k
Zebronics Bijli (w/o psu) Cabinet @ 1.1k
Seagate 500GB 7200.12 1.7
LG/Samsung 22X SATA DVD 0.9k
Benq G2220HD 7k
Basic Optical USB Mouse 0.15
TVS Champ Keyboard 0.25
APC 600VA UPS 1.8k
Altec Lansing BXR1221 / Logitech Z313 0.9k

Total 27k

Regarding sound card my vote goes for optional upgrade. Better make a poll.

skud cant make a poll till this is removed :-(

but i think people spending 130k can easily spend another 4k. so even if sound card is in optional upgrade they can decide on it. what say ;-)

Sure. Actually the speakers we generally use I don't know whether they can benefit from a dedicated sound card like Xonar DX etc. I have even seen people spending lacs of rupees for their system with a VS2621 to boot. So optional upgrade seems to me a better option.

And the poll is closed today. So can't another be added?

^^I disagree MegaMind.

I moved from SB X-Fi Xtreme Gamer to onboard.

Almost no change in sound quality.

If you are spending on a soundcard you should get one with the best specs (such as SNR, bit-rate etc, and not more software features).

In fact it is better to spend on an external soundcard then an internal one, considering the amount of signal noise there is for internal ones (so many buses the signal goes through before reaching DAC).

For internal ones a decoder should be integrated if you are considering it.

@venram87700, asus 560 ti direct cu is overpriced for its clock speed.

Depends on the speakers u use...

Who mentioned we hav to see the software features??

In fact it is better to spend on an external soundcard then an internal one, considering the amount of signal noise there is for internal ones (so many buses the signal goes through before reaching DAC).

:shock: Which ext. soundcard has better SNR??
