Help Me Make a Good Budget PC

[AmitojSingh]

Hi There,

I am going to make a new budget PC for my home office. I will be having around 8-10 tabs open at a time in my chrome. I use Google Apps a lot. I use outlook, Skype as well as Microsoft Excel etc. I am basically a freelancer and my main field is Web Research. I have various options in front of me from Intel as well as AMD. I am putting prices in INR and I am from India.

So here's the first one - http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=201066523963&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:IN:1123

I dont know if core2duo is good enough but yep I am getting full kit in 5400 and another 2 gigs of ram would cost me 400 INR more.

Core2Quad kit will cost me 8000 approx and mobo will be G41 as per seller

Now here are some processors from AMD.... if they are better then core2duo then I can consider them too

I need proccessor and motherboard suggestions only. My budget is tight. Want to save money on every bit possible but of course want to invest in good stuff. So HELP ME OUT =)

Just go with any combination of the parts I linked, and that Pentium that you asked about earlier, that will meet your budget.

Okay so I will go with Pentium , ASRock Mobo and Ram you listed. what about PSU..This is the bestone I found http://www.flipkart.com/cooler-master-elite-power-350w-rs350-psari3-us-350-watts-psu/p/itmdsxbjjwywafrk?pid=PSUDKU2ZYYKBY7BP&otracker=from-search&srno=t_5&query=psu&ref=545e2e80-4d04-45e9-b11e-9e363252738e

Is 350 Watts enough for my system? I dont I will overclock it ever.

 

[logainofhades]

It is enough, but I question its quality.

I want to go with the cheapest and the best.

 

[Hlias Anton]

Well cheapest and best dont go together! Better set your price so we can suggest you the best in that price.

 

[AmitojSingh]

The celeron build I linked would be faster and far more modern. You have some upgrade options as well later on. They are a bit limited, as the platform is 1150 socket, but far better than going with a used core 2 setup from 6yrs or so ago.

" They are a bit limited, as the platform is 1150 socket"

Pentium G2020 seems like 1155 and ASRock mobo also seems like 1155... or I am being mistaken?

if you mean the asrock h61m-vs3, it supports cpus with 1155 socket, and the pentium g2020 is in the support list of that mobo
