TR Budget PC configuration of the month[AMD Based]

[paranj]

yeah they are telling 2,00,500 Billion dollars for it? Its dirt cheap!

if you need a REAL AMD budget system, here is The Great God Gautham's take:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ - Rs. 2500/-
Jetway M2A692-GDG - Rs. 2500/-
512MB DualChannel DDR2 800 RAM - Rs. 1000/-
Philips easy fit earphones - Rs. 45/-
iBall keyboard/mouse combo - Rs. 500/-
Samsung(not samatron) 17"Flat CRT - Rs. 4100/-
iBall Designer Cabinet with PSU - Rs. 800/-
Seagate 160GB SATA ][ HDD - Rs. 1800/-
Samsung 20X DVD-RAM Drive - Rs. 1250/-

Total: Rs. 14495/-

Add Rs. 500 if you really need speakers. Creative SBS will do.
Even with small increase in price of some components, and with speakers, it can stay below 15k, so my goal is acomplished.

Edit: price may go upto 16k

for Intel i wud say go for E2140 for 2.6k and Biostar GF7050V-M7 for 2.3k

^^Nice config & sarcasm

@MHG- Alright. Thanks

@blueshift- NP

the next time you think of a 690G based setup, always try Jetway. its the cheapest on all price listing sites as well as online shops. Its also cheap on Nehru Place and SP Road to keep delhi and bangalore happy respectively. Mumbaikars have theitwares.com where its again cheap.

take a good look at those.

Anyway, now in this current generation AMD 780G is the best chipset around, but its always above 4.5k in India. Its the best AMD motherboard to have, and is total VFM is insanely high, and its highly expandable with better overall GPU performance with hybrid graphics mode and lots of expansion slots(one eSata, a huge number of USB and SATA2, etc).
