New PC on a budget

[drvarunmehta]

I need to assemble a new PC for general everyday use.
I'm deciding between

Intel Pentium E2160
Intel DG31PR mobo

and

AMD Athlon X2 4000+
Asus M2A-VM mobo

If I go with Intel I get a better processor but worse mobo. With AMD I get a worse processor but a better mobo.

I have no need to overclock so only consider stock performance. I'm leaning towards the AMD combo because it has 4 slots for the RAM and better onboard graphics.

Please give me the prices of all the components in Mumbai and suggest which would be a better buy (or give a better alternative).

How much does it cost?

[darklord]

Gigabyte G31 + E2140 = ~ 5.5-6k

Please give me the seperate cost of all the components

Intel Pentium E2160
Intel DG31PR mobo
Gigabyte G31
AMD Athlon X2 4000+
Asus M2A-VM mobo

[darklord]

Intel Pentium E2160 --- > ~ 2600-2800
Intel DG31PR mobo
Gigabyte G31 -----> ~ 3000
AMD Athlon X2 4000+
Asus M2A-VM mobo

i think there isnt much point in going for a e2160 with a intel mobo . .it needs to be OCed.

its better to spend 1.8k more and get a E4500 for 4.5k.

I already specified I don't want to OC.

I don't need that much performance.

[..:: Free Radical ::..]

AMD X2 4000+ = Rs.2600 decent performance
Asus M2A-VM

Search for a motherboard processor combo, would work out cheaper.

in fact amd 4000 is slightly better than 2160...not worse.
so amd combo anyday...
