Get any good speakers (2.1) for around 1300/- and also get a good UPS such as Numeric 600VA which will cost around 2050/-

@anshumanarora
heyy i guess da one mohit has suggested is da best u can get for 30k.else u can eva do one thin instead of going for a onboard graphic u can go for Asus K8N (NForce3) mobo wid any decent PCI-E card like 5300 it is any day betta then onboard GPU of 480m2 mobo but for dat i guess u hav to spend few more bucks or u can settle wid da same one which mohit has suggested.

[akshayt]

for abt 30-40k you get only entry level gming pc not a medium pc

what you get is some thing just better than total crap

but here goes


isn't athlon xp 32bit,go for 64bit.
s754
amd 2800 64bit + asus k8n,abt 10k
512mb ddr 400 corsair or what ever is supported by corsair value select isn't ,check compaitibiltiy ,my mobo has issue,asus a8n-e,3abt 3k
160gb sata ncq seagate ,4150
128mb radeon 9600pro/xt or geforce 6200 atleast,only 128bit or higher cads memory interface
17"crt monitor if you can afford it then true-flat

[akshayt]

800va microtek ups,i bought for abt 2300 i think

[mamba]

herez a config i bought 4 the ppl back home -

3000+ n RS480 - 12.5k
Seagate 160 SATA - 4.1k
256x2 transcend 400 - 3.2k
logitech mm kb n mouse - 825
iball cab with 400w psu - 1.6k
LG flatron E700SH - 7k

Mtek UPS 800va , dual batt - 2.4k

total - 32.5k

happy with the config as would b using 4 just couple of months , n its more than enuf 4 a casual gamer like my bro

[akshayt]

do you want to play only the mid range intensive games that too at 640*480 ,low/lowest settings at just barely playable settings

with a 17" monitor,640*480 may not be acceptable that well

also,consider 793mb samsung if you want to

[Aniruddh]

@akshayt
wat b*llsh*t i hav played all the latest games wid dis MSI RS480M2 mobo i dun hav any card except for the onboard one.hav played latest games like farcry,doom3 wid medium settin if u dun kno anythin then u betta keep ur suggestions wid u i hav seen many times dat u juz write all does crappy thins widout knowin bout it.and by the way where u got microtek800va ups for 2300?plz do tell me so that eva i can buy atleast a dozen if not more.trully pathetic.i really think der is sumthin worng wid u,every time wat eva others say u r neva satisfied and u hav to say juz opposite.sorry if i was a bit rude but man it was necessary to say dis otherwise u r gonna keep on doin da same stuff again and again and it really p*ss*s every one out here if not every one then most of them.and u really seems to me a very very very rich guy as u say dat i bought dis for dat much and bought dat for dis much u buy every damn thin which is available in the market?if u really do then dats juz gr8 keep it up...
@anshumanarora man juz go for MSI RS480M2 its quite gud at dat price.dun hav the best onboard grafix but still u can play all the latest games as i hav been playing but i hav said dis dis thin b4 and again repeating it if posible go for asus NForce3 chipset wid any decent grapix card it will b betta then dat of MSI mobo.samsung 17'' magic brite2 is the best 17inch monitor in the market till date...

[mohit]

i am wid u aniruddh. akshayt plz dude dont try to simply suggest stuff to people man. not everyone has a mammoth sized budget and some people are very very happy playing at low/medium settings coz thats what is in their budget. u alwaz seem to blow the budget out of proportion for many many users and u suggest crap at times , like here u r suggesting magic brite monitor while i have already suggested magic brite 2 which is much better than magic brite. by doing such things, u r just confusing people out here instead of helping them. i hope u improve.

i suggest u invest 1k more n go 4 Seagate 160gb SATA . little better performance n double the space . more value 4 money , lower cost per GB

[Mahesh Babu]

160GB may not be required and doesnt fit in the budget.80Gb is pretty good.

As the config has COMBO drive he can just burn the data from the hardisk.

Then later after 6months or so he can purchase one more 160GB hardisk and run it RAID 0 mode.

[mamba]

choice is really with him now . in 1k more he can either go 4 a 160gb hdd or a dvd writer . completely at his discretion , if he can stretch his budget that much

m talking bout a dvd writer here coz blank cds n blank dvds cost me the same , n a dvd has 6.5 times the space of a cd so it would b cheaper in the long run

[shaunak]

minor detail:
get an optical mouse.

Hey correct me if i am wrong but is there a 80Gig Seagate drive supporting NCQ ??? :roll: i dont think so.
I guess NCQ supported drives are 200Gig and above.

[magnet]

dark after reading your post i did some research....earlier when 400gb disc were out...they were only ncq supported...but now 80gb disc too support it...check the list on seagate site
