suggestion for upgrade needed?

[krishnathelord]

i was looking for upgrade for my comp.

my budget is Rs. 13000 for a cpu, Mobo, and a 80gb SATA HDD

i have 6600 256 mb AGP 8X card so no need for on board graphic card
i aslo have 2x 512 zion pc3200 2-3-3-5 ram so dual channel is a must

i presently own PIV 2.4 with 845chipset mobo

pls suggest an config with prices (Preferably kolkata price)

i dont suggest u upgrade your cpu as u have an agp 8x card and all the new procc have mobos designed for them which use pci express and if u try buying a socket 478 3.0 ghz intel it wont be in your budget. instead do this,

keep the same procc
get an asus p4c800 series board (intel 875p chipset) - around 6,000/-
Hitachi 80 GB SATA 2 HDD - around 3500/-

i am suggesting a sata 2 hdd as its backward compatible with sata 1 and atleast it will be future proof.

keep the remaining cash !!

i ws thinking to buy a pIV 2.66 (lga775) with asrock mobo 775Dual-915GL*www.asrock.com/product/product_775Dual-915GL.htm with 80 gb sata samsung hdd total around 6+4+3=13K

i think mohit is right.Don`t upgrade unless you really need to.

Why upgrade? Still there are who using P3s, Only go for Sata2 HDD. If you are in gaming then go for 160 GB!
