Seems he paid thru his nose for all that if he "just" bought it.All prices are inflated by atleast 300-400 esp on the ram.If he has 3000 left he should get a 128-bit 5200 gfx card,though I would not recommend 5200 as a gaming card ,its still eons better than what a 845 mobo has to offer.And why did he go for an 845,when 865 mobos are dirt cheap now!
For the same amount of money he could have had a very decent A64 rig!!!!

i told ya stupid fello, he went with another friend of mine (arun)
now arun himself is a computers assembler/sales man
"arun"
insisted on following
dont go for dvd writter, they r BS, go for combo
dont go for 915 or 865 go for 845
dont go for 512 go for 256
dont buy from nehru place, its just stupid, but from someplace "arun" took him
i belive the reaseon for his insisting was the damn local shop probably didnt had the required good, or didnt even knew they existed in the first place.

I think arun and the shop owner must be put in a gas chamber immediately. 
hyeah:
Probably this arun character in connivance with that shop owner wanted a c****ya to get rid of his old stuff.

P4 2.4 I think its for 5.5k.
hynix ddr 333 for max 1.3k(400 is for 1450-1550 in NP)
Mobo-2.3k(getting an intel mobo is of NO USE)for a good 845 board like Gigabyte/MSI.Mercury is around 1.8k-2k!
About the pen drive and combo drive the prices seem to be fair.
And on top of that he could have got A64 2800+ with a cheap K8S ASROCK mobo for about the same cost and had as much as 40% better performance.

Typical PC Assembler behaviour.
Very poorly informed people, yet insist what they know is absolutely right and even then try to counter-attack your suggestions/point out minor annoyances in a bid to disregard your recommendations.
Example , just a few weeks back I was helping a friend pick components needed for his PC. He was getting it done through his regular PC assembler, and of course got inputs from him as well.
While I was able to fit in an Athlon 64 rig into his budget, his guy came up with a weak 2.4Ghz prescott config. When he showed him the athlon 64 config, his first complaint - AMD has heating problems! (expected, wasnt it?!) Its a tiresome process trying to explain repeatedly how AMD heat problems are a thing of the past, how even me having an AthlonXP can still keep its temps well under control, and that in fact the tables have turned with the prescotts heating up now!
Well ok, my friend has more faith in me and goes ahead with the athlon64 config. PC assembler is obviously not pleased, sits glumly at the comp store watching us order the parts :bleh: .
While ordering the SATA disk I had a certain premonition that he would run into problems configuring it. Sure enough, we went home and the assembler dude got down to fixing it up, and all is complete till booting up where the hard disk isnt detected by XP. I was aware specific SATA RAID drivers have to be loaded up for the via controller when XP setup asks for any 3rd party raid drivers and put across the solution. However our good man was sitting relentlessly in the BIOS trying this parameter and that, finally insists the hard disk is faulty and goes back to return it!
By this time it was getting late, so left this happy adventure and went home. Meanwhile shop guys send him back with the driver disk, still isnt able to configure it , so finally takes the entire CPU to the shop where they personally configure the disk and set it right.
Sigh :no:
