i need a configuration.

CPU + Mobo - Intel Core 2 Duo E2140 + Intel DG31PR
RAM - 1GB DDR2 667MHz Transcend RAM
HDD - 160GB SATA Hitachi
GPU - XFX 8400GS 128MB (can also dp without this if u just want office apps.)
Case+PSU - Zebronics Krrish + Antec 450W PSU
Monitor - LG E500 15" CRT
Keyboard+Mouse - Odeyssey Multimedia combo
Speakers - Creative SBS 245

Price with GPU will be Rs.24,000 approx
And without GPU will be exactly around Rs.21,500

Might wanna add a cost of Rs.4,000 for Xp Pro or better use Ubunto 8.04 as u just need office apps and net. Use open-source instead piracy!

Ask me if u have queries

Seems like you are an intel lover.

Teh e2140 is not better than the x2 4200+. The second problem with Intel products is that you end up having unused potential products paired up. the Processor supports only upto 800Mhz FSB and what's the point in pairing it with a board that supports 1333Mhz FSB? Essentially you're wasting your money for somethign you can't use.

The motherborad costs 3750 and the M2MNX costs only 2600, and you say there is no price difference?

lol^ thanks for heads up! Go with the D945G . Ya i am an Intel fanboi!

+1 for amd rig
X2 4200+ 2.8k Gigabyte 780g mbo 3k
1gb ram 1k
Logitech kbd+mouse .7k
Samsung sh230d 1.1k
Wd 250gb 2.2k
bijli cabby 1k n powersafe 400w gold 1.5k
Crt 17inch 4.5k
Spks vs4121 2.7k

+1 for Intel rig

[acewin]

+1 for amd based system, he can get 17" LCD monitor in this case,
casual computing, and sort of speaker shows he wants all his config in 22K

Basic config with 17" Samsung or LG LCD monitor
Altec Lansing BXR 1121 (2.1 speaker) = 1100
XFX 8400 GS 256 MB = 2100
Logitech Keboard Mouse combo = 700
17" LCD = 7500 - 8000
WD 160 GB SATA = 1800
Kingston/Transcend 1 GB = 1100
Sony DRU 190A = 1200
Cabinet = 1500
This comes to Rs 17500-18000

After this I suggest the mobo and proccy which mostly people are suggesting as above adding the budget for 5-6K making total about 23-24K
because we can get a decent intel proccy and mobo cumposition as well as AMD based system.
After this my suggestion would be atleast get a decent cabinet and PSU instead of normal combined PSU n cabinet spending 3K, which would make the config priced 25-26K

+1 intel >

I do not think he wants heavenly experience, he wants decent performance and workability.
Do not over increase his budget.
Just why 2.1 speakers why not Z5500D or bose home theater audio system
but I do agree 86GT ddr3 would be much more better than 8400GS just spending that 1K

but besides these he really need to come up with what he wants, I see more n more people asking suggestions but after that going mum even without commenting if it was any help or how they planned out things

u win +1 AMD +1 Intel. Its ur call

[heartripple]

My current PC cofigration is :
AMD ATHLON 64 x 2 4200
ASUS M2N-MX
1 GB DDR 2 667 Mhz
320 GB WESTERN DIGITAL HDD
SONY DRU 170 AW DVD writer


i m asking new configuration for my cousin.

he just want some good expirience of computing and some office works.


thanks all of you.

[acewin]

we have mentioned config suitable for you, but you have not mentioned whether 22K includes monitor or its just for the CPU.

In any cases we have given a base config similar to your existing PC
You can change intel config bettering the proccy and mobo if monitor is separate from the budget of 22K going for Intel C2D e7200 with any of the following mobo
Intel dg33FB/DP35DPM if intel mobo is your priority
Abit IP35-E or ASUS mobo suggested by my other good friends
with nVidia 3500 gfx card
making the cost of the above bundle as 5.5+5+3.5 = 14K

[heartripple]

now budget is extended to 37k maximum so suggest some good rig.
include lcd in this rig.

and also suggest some core2 Duo based systems.

Hey thanks for choosing Intel budd. Anyways I sell more Intel products than their crappy salesman and ads

Intel Core 2 Duo -- E4500
Mobo - Abit IP35e
RAM - 2GB Transcend DDR2 667MHz
GPU - XFX 8600GT 256MB GDDR3
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB SATA
Case+PSU - Case is ur choice. Get a Powersafe 500W Gold.
Monitor - AOC 17"
Speakers and kbd-mouse are ur choice.

thanx man 1 question is in my mind should i go for e6xxx series processor.

and if possible give separate price tags.

Price tags vary from city to city and place to place. Go for a E6750 or E6300 if ur pocket allows you They mightgo out of ur budget, otherwise i wud have recommanded it. cheerz

[heartripple]

thanx man

I recomend E7200. At 5.7k, it offers you the best bang for buck available for a performance mainstream budget processor. Its the cheapest penryn.

My config:

Biostar TP35D2-A7 - P35 chipset (same as Abit IP35-E) - 4.5k
Core2Duo E7200 - 2.53GHz, 3MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB - 5.7k
Transcend Value RAM DDR2 800MHz 1+1 GB Dual Channel - 1.8k
nVidia 8600GT 256mb GDDR3 - 4.5K
Zeberonics Bijli Cabinet - 1.5k
VIP 600W SMPS - 1k
Logitech R-20 2.1 Speakers - 1.2k
Dell SE-198WFP 19" Widescreen 1440 x 900 monitor - 9.2k
Logitech Laser Multimedia combo - multimedia Keyboard + laser mouse - 1k
Samsung SH-S203B 20x DVD-RAM drive - 1.25k
Seagate ST3500320AS 500GB HDD - 4.2K

w00t, it managed to fit into budget and 1k is still remaining.

ya u can buy chocolates to celebrate for 1k
