Suggest a rig within 8k

[ajayashish]

i want a machine within 8k or less for surfing and watching movies. I already have a monitor.

Please suggest me something which can be within the budget and i will be buying the same in 2-3 weeks time.

Here goes your config:
Processor: Athlon II 245 @ 2.6k
Motherboard: BIOSTAR MCP6PB M2+ NVIDIA GeForce 6150 @ 2.07k
Ram: 2 GB Dynet DDR2 800 MHz @ 1.7k
HDD: Seagate 500 GB @ 1.6k
Cabinet & SMPS: Any Local Cabinet with 450W SMPS @ 1k
Keyboard & Mouse: @ 0.35k

Total is 9.32k. The price can be reduced by going for a Sempron 140 @ 1.7k, but now a days dual core is advisable.

Nice config..well within 8-9k but noway looks underpowered for that budget.

Tight budget but a great suggestion by Cilus..

Nice one... thanks ... any other suggestion

Thanks Everybody. For cheap but great components check anythinginIt and deltapage. They have a very good list of cheap components and ideal for making budget systems.

ajayashish, if you can extend your budget to 10k, I can try a DDR3 based system which will be a little future proof.

Motherboard: MSI GF615M-P33 @ 2.6k
Ram: 2 GB DDR3 Dynet @ 1.7k

Total 9.85k

nope... i want to keep it as less as possible...

it will only be used for surfing and watching movies... it is specially for my dad and no games as such will be played...

so want to keep it as low as possible...
