Ans:My current rig
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_rtm.090713-1255)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
Ram: umax 2gb (not sure about mhz)
GPU :HD 4350 1gb(useless now i guess most games wont run...)
smps: Default hcl smps (My rig was ORIGINALLY HCL. Now only smps and cabinet are HCL.)(2.5 years old)
Motherboard : asrock g41 motherboard (HCL one went off at 1.5 years)
cabinet: Default hcl cabinet(2.5 years old)
Here is what i have thought of.....
Intel i3 3220 =Rs. 7144(i suppose it is good)
OCZ Agility 3 60 GB SSD Internal Hard Drive (AGT3-25SAT3-60G) =Rs.4000(For faster boot)
MSI ZH77A-G41 Motherboard = Rs.5880 [for sata 6gb/s headers)
CM Elite 431+ Mid Tower Cabinet =Rs.3812(for 3.0 ports)
CCorsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) =Rs.1455
WD Caviar green 1TB =Rs.4300(6gb/s)
Will sell my existing pc = -Rs.5000 (i hope...)
Total Rs.23000(approx.)
Am thinking not to buy a GPU for now will add one in 6 months.....(i think intel hd graphics can play games at low settings with playable fps)
Will buy psu at that time too.
pls suggest any changes and alternative amd configuration (within similar price range)
Thank you ppl.
