Asus 740g mobo + Amd phenom 550 BE + Asus 4650 = 12.8K as per the black box combo deal.
Cheapest 4650 costs - 3k
Amd phenom 550 BE - 5K
so for the remaining 5K for 740g mobo is not such a good deal.
This is not a Black friday deal as in US where people get 785g + 550 BE combo for 100-150$.
For Eg: AMD Athlon II X3 435 + Gigabyte GA-M68M-S2 CPU/Mobo Combo for $60 AR at Fry's B&M
AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black + Gigabyte GA-M68M-S2 Motherboard for $70 AR @ Fry's B&M
AMD X4 965 + Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2 $140AR or X4 630 Combo $100 at Fry's B&M Starts 11/29
In India It is just a marketting Gimmick where companies try to cheat by selling outdated stuff for a higher price.
Anubis suggestion is also good if you planning for such a combo.

I knew all this but just wanted to see what others thought. Why is it so that in India there is absolutely no iota of professionalism and ethics whatsoever when it comes to these things? Maybe it is the same abroad or I have high standards. ( I know I have). Whether it be a internet connection, buying a new rig or buying a shoe for that matter the first aim is to always try to fleece people.
I am yet to meet sales people who know their job and add some human touch to things.
I called up several "reputed" shops in Pune for my new rig, (shops spoken about here), called up a renowned IT dealer in Mumbai who has a website also and is present in this forum as a dealer( I guess you know who I am talking about) but the responses were pathetic.
"Why do u want to know the quotation over phone?", " I already told you the quotation(for a particular config) why are you asking the price of another component? and in only case did a sales person actually make any efforts to get back to me through mail and phone.
Well and the reputed dealer from Mumbai simply hung up on me when I asked him the price of a Mobo for the second time.
In all cases, all the shops immediately wanted me to buy something and force something down my throat. They didn't have the patience to listen to my queries or give me sound advice on how to best invest my money.
If you know something about computers before buying, good for you but if you are tech impaired then best of luck to you.
