Buying a New PC!!!!!!!!!

[Delta]

Hi friends!!!

I want to buy a new PC with budget of 35k - 40k. I've taken a look around this forum and chosen config as follows:


AMD athlon 64 939 pin 3000+
MSI RS480 mobo
256x2 DDR 400 (Company suggest pls!!)
Seagate 7200 rpm baraccuda SATA 160 GB
Cabinet (suggest!!)
DVD Writer (Lite-on OR Sony) (suggest)
Samsung Syncmaster 793s (or better)


Pls suggest me any changes I should make. And also inform me prices. Thanx!!!!!!!

RAM --> Kingston or Transcend
DVD --> Liteon or Sony, same thing, liteon manufactures lens for sony drives(i think), so better go for Liteon

DVD writer best right now is from Benq. Just search for Benq here and u'll get a lot of posts. Also getting rave reviews everywhere. And it costs less thant the Sony I think.

I am not agree with u.

[mohit]

RAM - Kingston or Corsair (Corsair is more expensive)
Cabinet - Ibox/Antec
SMPS - Antec/VIP Go for min. 350W
DVD Writer - Go for ASUS (Extremely Good)
Monitor - Go for LG (Samsung service is poor)

[Delta]

Anyways all this is US prices. Indian prices is different. Benq 1620 costs 4600 Rs in Chennai. No idea on the Liteon.

[akshayt]

ltieon in delhi may cost 4250

[magnet]

akshayt...why not to go 4 kingston????

also antec is the best.........
powersafe comes next...wht about zebronics???

[Delta]

Thanx very very much 4 ur infos

[akshayt]

antec is best
starnet is 2nd best

abviously in india

antec is too expensive

earlier kingston gave quality stuff in ram,high oc index

now you don't even know what you get so there just may be fake kingston even in boxes etc

why not stick to corsair

or even transcend if it oc's better ,performs equal

corsair is for 3550 + 4% vat in delhi

hmm guys some nice discussion going on here....but i'd like to add few extra words.....
First there are some components that offer good proce/performance ratio and often recommended but hard to find...like if u want to find antec or powersafe cabinet in lamington....it's very hard...also a dvd writer other than sony...a monitor other that lg philips or samsung...zion memory ,odules...wvwn the msi boards for intel.......so isn't it a goo idea to include the name of shop as well????

I think it is not possible to get such a great combi in one shop! what do u think?

[Ankit]

obviuosly may not from one shop...but when a person suggests for a product ..including prices...he/she can always tell about the shop...

[Delta]

It will be easier to buy each and every component from single shop. But, even if I try to purchase different componants from diffeerent shops etc. it will affect the price. So, is it any way to get rid of all this things
