    41-50k Build that can last for 5 Years.

    Any specific reasoning for the 600W+ PSUs? Even if you add a mid variant GPU to your existing CX430 with the current HDDs and a few fans it will be sufficient. I would suggest you keep the current PSU and later when you buy a GPU and if you feel the CX430 is not up to the mark, get a maximum of...

    Tanishq jeweller good ?

    ^ When you pay them the first 11 installments, the 12th installment roughly comes from the interest on your earlier installments and the actual price increase of gold. Think of it like this, every time you pay, they buy equivalent amount of gold but use it themselves till the end of the year...

    [Spoilers] Game of Thrones (ASOIAF) thread

    I was in the same position after the end of season 1. Finished all the books as soon as I can, now waiting for the final one.

    Storage Solutions Storing digital pics, what are the reliable options ?

    @raksrules, Use Irfanview to mass compress/convert images. It has a lot of plugins for various formats. Research and choose your format wisely as the image quality will always decrease after compression. A jpeg file is already compressed, so check if you are getting a decent compression ratio...

    1 ton Inverter AC enough for 168 sq ft room ?

    As already stated by everyone, a 1 Ton AC will not be perfect for your requirements. You can use it but the cooling will not be as quick as a 1.5 Ton. Electricity costs will also be similar between the 1 Ton and 1.5 Ton as the 1 Ton will be actively cooling for much more time. Only difference...

Students from Maharashtra apply on the basis of MH-CET scores...
