[insaneYLN]

This is what a friend's new system build looks like (presently) -

Cabinet/Chassis
NZXT Gamma Classic Series - 2,100 INR

Power Supply
Corsair GS 600 - 4,525 INR

LCD Monitor
AOC 22" 2236VW - 7,750 INR

Motherboard
Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 - 2,550 INR

Processor
AMD Athlon II X4 640 - 4,625 INR

Memory [RAM]
Corsair XMS3 4GB TW3X4G1333C9 (2 x 2GB) - 2,850 INR

Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB - 2,800 INR

Optical Disk Drive (DVD Writer)
Sony DRU-880S-ZR - 1,050 INR

Keyboard + Mouse
Logitech G1 Gaming Desktop - 1,450 INR

Graphics Card
MSI R5770 Hawk ATI Radeon HD 5770 - 8,100 INR

Other products needed are -
UPS, Speakers (no decision, whether 2.1 or 5.1), Router (no decision, whether wired or wireless), Printer.
His budget is 45,000 INR but he is ready to extend it by another 3,000 INR.

All the price quotes are from The ITWares, Mumbai.
My query is, does ITWares charge shipping fare on each individual product?
I suppose a 'bulk' order should be comparatively cheaper?

As always, your suggestions, criticisms & advise are eagerly awaited.

The prices are high dude.
4GB Corsair RAM should not cost more than Rs.2400.
1TB WDC Green HDD will cost Rs.1700.
Sony DVD RW will cost Rs.850-900.

The prices will even down more. Just bargain.

Fill up the questionnare so that we can know what he wants exactly..

Corsair VX450 @3500 is enuff for future also for lesser price. Lets face it, there won't be multi-gpu on this board...
Other than that, the config is sweet.

Edited ... i was about to suggest vx450 but jus thought OP can add 570 in future

Isn't Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 that my friend agreed upon, a decent motherboard?

@ saswat23
Friend, 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green for 1700 INR? Are you sure? Perhaps you have mistakenly quoted the price of a 500GB hard disk. Because, i have seen 1TB hard disks (Seagate or Western Digital) sell for 2700-2850 INR on online stores.
Maybe, i am wrong.

GA-MA78LMT-S2 is jus a plain mobo w/o features like dual channel memory,....
Diff betwn dual & single channel memory
So better go wit the mobo suggested...
1TB Western Digital Caviar Green - 2.7K

For Processor, look for Phenom II X4 840 3.3 GHz, priced @ 5K at SMC. It is actually the highest clock speed Athlon II and missing the L3 cache. But performance wise it is equivalent or slightly better than the entry level Phenoms like PII 945 due to its high clock speed.

The Gigabyte website says that GA-MA78LMT-S2 supports Dual Channel Memory Architecture.
