Change it to X2 7750 from AMD --3700 Rs.

Ram : Kingston 2GB DDR2 800 mhz Rs.1000 Nehru Place
HDD : 160 GB SATA
Motherboard : Any Intel Chipset with gigabit LAN and remains cool within 4k
Look For Gigabyte 780 G Chipset Mobo as it will play all type of Videos including HD without the need for a Grfx card and have all the connectivity options for ur display like DVI, HDMI etc. -- 4.5k

Asus SATA DVD Writer
Acer 17" LCD rs.6500 Nehru Place .Is it wall mountable ?
U can get Acer 19" for Rs 5875 at Nehru Place, but i will recommend Dell 19" for Rs 7100 or Viewsonic 19" for Rs 6500/- (With DVI ports).

Logitech Wired Combo Black

Please Suggest and Provide Prices .

For Gaming PC:
Cabinet :Cooler master /Zebronics Antibiotic (within 2k)
Processor:Core 2 Quad Q8800 OR Core 2 Extreme 2.8 ghz
Look for AMD PII X4 920 from SMC international for around 10.7 k its more VFM right now.

Ram : 2 GB DDR2 800mhz
HDD : I already have 250 GB Sata and dont want to change
aSUS Sata DVD Writer

Please Suggest a Good Motherboard - Biostar/Gigabyte 790FX or 790 GX boards if comes in ur budget.
Graphics Card : Geforce 8600 /8800/9600 Please suggest Distributer.Within 8K MAX -- Try to get a Palit 4850 for around 8.5k or else within 8k u should look for a 9800 GT or HD4830.


I need an Illuminated Keyboard within 1k
Logitech Normal Optical Mice
I alredy have Altec Lansing ATP3 Speakers

Please Give Suggestions And Provide Prices .

And try to stay away from COST to COST (in my opinion only). I prefer SMC internation for good rates, Availablity of high end components, and nice customer support.

Thanks Harry ,
but I dont like and Trust ATI & AMD And I am inclined Towards Intel And Nvidia .
So, I would be grateful if you suggest me ATI and Nvidia Products.

Can You Suggest Me a Good Cabinet for Both PC's .
Can You even provide Prices for All Products .

Moreover I dont Really Need an HTPC but an Office PC Very Slim In size. So I dont need to play HD Videos but need a Motherboard that remains a bit cool in small case and is good in networking and has Gigabit LAN . Any Embedded GPU will do.So can you Please Reconsider The Motherboard and Provide an Intel Chipset Based Motherboards.

I also want to know that With Which GPU's can I have Hybrid SLI and I am also Interested In NVidia Nforce Chipsets For Gaming PC .

Please Reconsider And Reply Soon

Bro, there is nuthing not to like/trust about AMD -ATI. Its only becoz of AMD/ATI's competetitve products we can now have powerfull proccy's and GPU at affordable rates at our disposal.

I am not a fanboy or anything like that. Its just that i tend to recommend the most Valu for money product according to the Usage and Budget requirements of the person, not matter its from Intel/AMD/ATI/Nvidia.

Still if u want to go with Intel/Nvidia, then have following changes in the config i mentioned before.

For Office System:

E5200/7400 for Rs 3600/5900.
Gigabyte G31 S2L for Rs 2400


And For Gaming rig :

E8500 or Q9400 for Rs 9700/13000 as i dont think that Q8800 is available at Nehru Place yet.

For mobo, May be MSI P45 Neo for around 6k

And for Graphic card, Palit 9800 GT will be in ur budget, but if u can extend it to 10 k then u get a Palit 9800 GTX+ which will be enough for ur 17" LCD.

And haan, dont forget to get a Good PSU for ur gaming rig to handle these high end components.
About the Cabinet, Dhoom/Chhotu are good.

And dnt think bout Hybrid SLI coz its for weaker cards like 9400 GT etc ..it wont help u in gaming with high end cards.

Or if u have any other doubts then i have to go to Nehru Place on Monday morning. If u intend to do the shopping on monday, then u can find me there

Hope it helps

HD 4850 is much better card than 9800gt.
Price of Palit HD 4850 is 7300Rs.

HD 4850== 9800gt+ in perfomance
IT supports DX 10.1, has many other features than 9800gt.

9800gt is the old 8800 in new name, still its agood card when 4850 is not around

[shaunak]

I agree with harryneopotter. For the same price, AMD will afford you a much better solution. But still if you want an Intel solution go for the C2D E7300.

dude. AMD gives better performance for your budget. if you think AMD/ATI aren't trustworthy, go ahead and get that Intel config given in the config. Let me know when you peel off that trust thing from your mind and we will talk

[The Sorcerer]

Honestly, if you think AMD/ati is unreliable then its pretty stupid. Dealers will say any crap and there are many reasons for system instability/overheat/over volt. Some people are born idiots and are used to blaming things for irrelevant reasons since it is the easiest thing to do.
