I’m planning to build a desktop PC for myself. I do not want to go for a branded systems, like Dell or Compaq, for two reasons – one: they come with the bundled Windows; two: there is no AMD powred system. There is one more important reason – that the cost should come around RS 20,000.
I’m not building this system for Gaming (but, I might occasionally play FIFA). So the focus here is not on the beauty outside, but the beast inside. Here’s what my current configuration looks like:
Processor – AMD Athlon X2 – 2.8GHz, 2MB, AM3 – 64 Bit2900
Motherboard – Asus AMD 740G – M2A74-AM2850
Memory – Kingston 4 GB4000
Hard disk – Seagate 160 GB 1850
Monitor – Acer 17” LCD5800
Optical Drive – LG DVD Writer1100
Cabinet + Keyboard + Mouse – Any 1500
20,000
* All the prices are based on Deltapage

If you have been using any of the above mentioned items, please feel free to give a review on the same. Also, if you have any other better configuration in mind, do leave a comment, will update my wish list based on that.

Hi,
I am also checking the vendors nowdays reg. a new CPU for myself (but without monitor). Reg. your configuration here are my suggestions:
1) if possible buy a HP 17″ monitor(HP L1706 – abit old but best in class. I personally don’t like wide screen monitors). Check with local HP vendor. the quality is really good. This is the thing which should be of good quality. I have no idea abt Acer products but i must say.. care for your eyes.
2) Go for microsoft original set of K/B + mouse cost around Rs. 650/-
3) Cabinet should support 4-5 USB 2.0 ports and a good card reader. Also wi-fi card in cabinet cost around Rs. 900/-
4) if u have a laptop with DVD writer, drop it from Desktop. Use Lan to get data (using a wi-fi router)
Thanks for the suggestions.
@Acer monitors – i have been using them at my office. I found it quite OK. But I have never used an HP monitor though. So can’t compare them both. Anyway, will check the HP monitors, too.
@Microsoft keyboard – yeah. I might go for a ergonomics keyboard.
Few Comments.
I always prefer Transcend for memory.And for monitor Samsung And for Keyboard,mouse Logitech are better than microsoft.(My Personal Preference)
I always refer prices with these guys, little reasonable.

Is that price applicable for Chennai dealers?
Computerwarehouse is available in BLR, MG Road not sure it’s in Chennai or not.
hm. most probably I’ll be buying the components in Chennai. But if there is a huge price difference, then I dont mind visiting Bangalore!
Segate 250 GB SATA—Rs1820 And 320 GB W.D SATA–Rs.1875, You can even check this also.
thanks for the suggestion.
For Chennai deals please check http://deltapage.com/
I used to buy all stuff from them. The dealers there are knowledgable and good and fixed reasonable pricing.
Yes, in fact the above price list is based on deltapage website. I’m checking with them too.
