i3 3220 (7500)
Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 (3250) @ Flipkart
EVM DDR3 4 GB 1333 MHz ram (2000)
Antec BP300 (1900)
local cabinet (1000)
Asus optical drive (1050)

total: 16,700

Try not to go below this config. You can delay the purchase for few weeks if budget is a problem this config will be much more future proof than a G2020.

Thanks dear

My concern is to have MOBO with HDMI/DVI port but if I opt for

i3 3220 (7500)
Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 (3250) @ Flipkart
EVM DDR3 4 GB 1333 MHz ram (2000)
Antec BP300 (1900)
local cabinet (1000)
Asus optical drive (1050)

Can I add any graphics card later and can I use the HDMI/DVI port provided on that graphics card?

Or in this price range, can I have a better config for AMD processors.

your budget is very tight. i would recommend gigabyte b75m-d3h over the suggested board. if you add a gpu later, then you can use the dv.hdmi port provided by the gpu.
for ram get kingston hyperx blu - 4g - 2.25k at flipkart. miles better than that evm ram.

Thanks,

What about ASRock H71M-DGS Motherboard (Rs. 3475) it has DVI port and supports 1600 MHz freq, means I can use the RAM freq at 1600 ... am I right?

also what about a local cabinet having SMPS, do I still need a new PSU or can I use old one or the one with local cabinet.

sorry for too many questions.

> The Asrock board looks good

> local SMPS aren't recommended as they are crap You can ask the shopkeep to keep the SMPS with him and reduce cabinet's price by 300-400 bucks.

> Never hesitate to ask anything to anyone. you buy only once

get the gigabyte mobo. that asrock mobo is having age old audio chipset and 2 memory slots only.

 

[technova]

Oks,

The cabinet antec nsk4400 @ 1.35k shows that it comes with 380W PSU.. is it good.. if I opt for it, shall I cancel the PSU and add the amount to the gigabyte mobo?

no,i think you wont get psu for rs 1350. you will only get the cabby. confirm from the shop.

 

[NiGHtfUrY]

Even if it does come with a PSU i would suggest buy a seperate Psu and to save money go with a local cabinet. Psu is a VERY IMPORTANT component so i suggest dont go with a cheap psu. (Bad experiences)

psus that come with branded cabbys are better than any cheap psus.
