You already assembled a good config to go for if budget~20k

and if you are asking a branded solution to FSP saga 350W at 1.5 k , then i dont think there is one
though you can buy local 600W or more PSU but it will be very inefficient as you know already

Better upgrade the CPU to an athlon ii x4 for 1k more. Also a logitech combo for 0.75k will be a much better choice for keyboard and mouse. The ones you have selected won't last very long.

+1 for the logitech combo suggested by Cybertonic. The X3 is pretty good for its price and for general computing needs more than enough.

IMO get logitech mouse with TVS champ. Champ is very good keyboard. Using black one for 4+ yrs. Still working like a new bride ;-) . Logitech mouse is very good. You can get it @270+

haha!!!

ok, i shall get those inputs then.

my last question : are these prices applicable for nehru place in delhi?
are all these components available from nehru place?

thanks!!

yea..the prices are applicable in NP
but you have to look for more than a couple of shops
and it might happen that for example you are getting X3 435 or 445 instead of 440 or something like that
so you should carry 2k more for the unexpected

yeah, thanks for the tip!
well, in that case, would it not be better to order online and have the rig delivered on my doorstep?

at least i would not have to go out in this fricking humid heat.
