Do u mean Samsung 2033? If no, then I recommend Samsung 2033. Whats ur budget for graphics card? And if u wanna buy a graphic card, then ordinary/el cheapo power supply won't work. Go for Corsair VX 450 or something like that.

who dun think bout the PII 550 these days. They made it too good for the price.
The 2k difference over 7750BE is totally justified.:p

Recently I assembled my PC. Its a low-mig gaming PC but cheap.
Cpu- Dual Core E5200 (2.5 Ghz) - 3000 Rs [45 nm so good power saver and overclocker]
Gigabyte G31-ES2l - 2200 Rs. [Cheapest m/b with decent overclocking abality]
Kingston 2b Ram DDr2 800 Value- 1050 Rs
Western Digital - 500 Gb hard disk - 2700 Rs. (5 yrs warranty from home)
Leadtek S-Fan pipe 9600 GT. - 5500 Rs (Only if you need a graphic Card for gaming).
Cooler Master Real Power Pro 460 W - 3500 Rs (Expensive but saves Power and provide rteliablity) You can cheap PSu's if not using Graphic Card.
Navtech - 701 Cabinet. 1900 Rs. (If you like 1200 Side and Rear fan with transparent side. Excellent built quality with LCD scren in front with 4 USB ports) Yo7u can go for cheaper Cabinets.
Sams8ung DVD writer 1050 Rs
Moniter LG 1941WS - 6800 RS.

Yup, E5200 is one hell of a proccy for ocing, but G31 mobo's arent that impressive apart from ocing. i think they spot a nX16 PCIE 1.1, which can underpower u gcard. Also most of them are micro ATX.
Also it oc to gr8 clocks, its performance per clock is much lower than an E8400 or PII 550, due to lower cache amount of E5200.
Also E5200 tends to heatup quickly[after ocing] with its bundled tiny heatsink. Though u can oc higher with an aftermarket cooler, it wont come for cheap.
And lastly the IGP of G31 mobo aint good for nothin. IGP of 780g/790g mobos are much better.

@sringan

a biostar 790 mobo with 128 sideport for 4.5k sounds better if u gonna use IGP.

Yep I agree on most count.
With 266 FSB , i got 3325 from default 2500 Cpu speed. Temp was pretty stable with stock fan at 40 C idle. and 67 C after one hour of full load prime torture test. My room temp was decently hot at 30 C during testing. But that maybe because i have 1200 mm Cooler Master fan (exuast) at the rear. My 9600 Gt doesn't get bottleneck with PCIE 1.1.
But Amd with 780 G n more are better IGP solution. No doubt about it.

Guys, I have not suggested the Biostar TA790GX M/B jsut for performance, I suggested it for a future proof solution.
None of the 780G chipset based boards support Phenom II processors naively. It requires a Bios update (Even if if u r not doing it, The company has done it for u). They don't support some advance features of Phenom 2 Processors, like Advance Clock Calibration(ACC), unlocking the 4th core of a X3 processors, etc.
Biostar M/B offers it all. It supports high overclocking (My Phenom 2 940 is overclocked 3.6 GHz), has lot of expantion ports, support CF, having 128MB 3300 Graphics and price is just 5k. I think its the best buy and the extra 1k u r soending, is highly justified.
