Greetings! Decided to start a dedicated thread as I need some inputs!
I have decided to go for a desktop over a laptop for my needs and budget.
Because of budget constraints, I'd like to go for the best Mobo/PSU that I can get for my current budget, and upgrade the procy to i5 2500k later along with the gfx card! Kindly do give me your suggestions for this approach!
