Processor: E7200 5.4K //fixed
RAM: Transcend 2x1GB DDR2 800MHz 2k
SMPS:CM 460 W 1.7k
Cabinet: ?
GPU: ATI 3850HD 5.6k [or hd 4670 will wait hope it cms soon:(]

Zebronice Bijli comes for 1.3k I guess

Or yes, iBall workhorse is on sale(surplus, old stock) in lynx-india for just 0.5k(including VAT)!!!

Now that's a good deal don't you think^^!!!!

Hmm, you cud wait for the 4670 and 4650(both perform similarly, but 4670 is a tad costlier with GDDR3 memory). They will have lower(much much) TDP than 3850(by a big margin, havn't you heard 3850 has Overheating issues??)

And if u're gonna wait, then a E5200(I hope it comes soon) for 4k probably will be a very sweet deal, bringing your PC budget to ~15k

Well, go for that gigabyte P31 board. How did you manage to find one ? P31s are supposed to be rare in India from what I have seen and they OverClock very well compared to G31 and G33, and perhaps in the level of Q35, next to only P35.

And yeah, consider waiting for HD4670. Don't go for HD4650 - its around 600 rupees cheaper, but it has DDR2 instead of GDDR3 and has a little lower clock speed. Its just not worth the price difference.

You might want to wait and see if the Intel E5200 hits the market soon enough or not. It can cost 3.5K to 4K, it has 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache and 2.5GHz Clock Speed.

Click to expand...
if that gigabyte board is not available, get gigabyte G31 instead of P31.
but never get intel original mobos.
