Help me build a PC

[sagargv]

My friend wants me to suggest him a good PC config for his requirements.
He is a bit leaned towards intel . so plz , suggest the better and also the best among the intel .

budget - 35k-40k including everything and even a ups.

he basically wants the pc for his project work in his engineering course which will need no more that a 5yr. old PC . all the same , he wants to play a bit of games and have good music. and watch movies and hear songs that's all .


thank you...

Get a dual core based comp with 945 chipset and it should suffice more than he requires.

Typically, you should wait until after Vista releases. At least that's what I'm doing. Prices will come down a fair bit once Vista releases.

[sagargv]

thanks.

[Pathik]

hmm.... vista is a os....
@ sykora but how wd the release of vista affect the prices of intel products...

[samrulez]

this is it .........
PD 805 with a 945 mobo
512X2 ram (Transcend or Kingston or TwinMOS)\
~optional~7600GS for 8k or 7600GT for 13k
etc etc...............

@pathiks

Two reasons. One, prices are cheaper after christmas, because retailers want to get rid of their merchandise. Two, once vista hits the market, and its requirements are known for certain, manufacturers can produce what is required and lower prices.

I think it is better to wait for one month. Because Intel's Conroe (Core 2 Duo) has hit the market. within a month it will be available from your local dealer and it outperforms a similar AMD X2.
At present I think, this is a good configuration - you can sacrifice the graphics card with a lower priced one to fit in your budget.
