2.internet
3.Image editing(Photoshop)
4.Watching DVD/Videos etc..
5. Creating Home videos
The config should hve
64 bit solution , Geforce 6600Gt 128MB DDR3, 2.1 Speaker enough(Creative or altec lansing only), :)
External Tv Tuner(Coz i dont want to watch TV by switching on my computer), Geforce 6600GT, 17inch CRT flat monitor, Benq 1640 DVD writer, Windows XP home OEM edition(Rs.3500/-) and zebronics High end Cabinet (Costs Rs.2500/-). So please include this in the price and tell me a good config which can last good for 4yrs. I live in chennai. Peoples from chennai can help me with this. I would like to know anyone who can offer me this config with a good service.
 
In that budget, you can snag a 6800GT or X800XL ;). Zebronics cabinets are horrible... go for either antec or coolermaster and a good powersupply as well. Nice to see someone factoring the cost of the OS in the config :). Good going ;)

PLease tell me the price of each parts separetly and also if you guyz are chennai, plz let me know.
 
In chennai check out Ritche Street. Take a day and look around various shops asking the price and bargain.

I found Savera Info systems to be quite cheap of all and made most of my purchases there but the guy is a bit stingy and dosent reduce on bargaining :(
 
^^The point is u shud not depend on the dealer. Each part has a service center. If something goes wrong just go to the service center and get it replaced. Generally its pretty painless. Instead of the asus A8N-E + SB Live 24bit, I'd suggest the MSI K8N SLi Platinum board... its got SLI support, a better overclocker, firewire has an onboard Live 24bit card. A better deal IMHO. Also it costs just 9300 bucks.
 
Also i dont need a soundcard as its already there in the motherboard and also i m looking for a 3200+ venice, so can anyone tell me the price of this. Also tell me anyother good cabinet(With a good look, cooling and with power supply) not more than Rs.2500
 
^^ You can get an Antec 1650 for 3K. Comes with a 350W PSU. Don't skimp on cabinet and especially the powersupply as u might have trouble later on otherwise. Its the number one cause of all system trouble/failures. The 3200+ venice is not worth it... just buy a 3000+ venice and overclock it. Shud do 2.4GHz easily which is like 400MHz more than a 3200+ ;)

Edit: Other than the MSI board i suggested, the onboard sound on the others sound like $hit :P.
 
I want to know. since all of u are over clocking 3000+ venice. Is the system running smoothly without any problem and can any one give details on how to overclock,etc. what i need to do it. I am just a 1yr college student. So i dont hve experience assembling any PC.
 
Overclocking a venice 3000+ to 3200+ is pratically risk free as thats a 200 mhz bump only. For overcloking A64 we have a stickied thread in oc section check that.

You can always learn how to assemble :). Its not hard at all. Plus once you learn it, you'll never go back to the assembler again. In fact if u are doing comp sci/ computer engg, its the first thing that you should be learning ;). You can find tonnes of guides on the net on how to assemble computers. Plus we are always here to help! Overclocking is like a gamble... however u can always increase your chances of hitting the jackpot by improving ur odds by choosing the right stuff. Most 3000+ venices shud get to 2.4GHz stable easy unless u get a really crappy one.
 
I run my 3000+ Venice @ 2.5 GHz 24x7
No problems whatsoever,i take care of cable management ,cooling[ventilation basically]

and you are ready to go.
 
Thanks a lot guyz for clearinmg my doubts and queries. Please do one more favour. can anyone give me exact link to a best tutorial on how to asemble a computer and to overclock it. I am basically a B.SC computer science 1st yr :D. So i dont hve exp on installing a motherboard, Processor, etc.. all i know is to install the other devices like Graphics Card, OPticeal devices, Hard Disc, etc.
 
As much as this may sound strange.....for what he will be using it for intel would be the better choice :)

My Usage will be
1. Gaming(like HL2, DOOM3, NFS UG2,Splinter Cell Chaos,etc) in a good settings.>>AMD
2.internet>>Intel+AMD (multi tasking=intel)
3.Image editing(Photoshop)>>Intel
4.Watching DVD/Videos etc..>>Intel
5. Creating Home videos>>Intel
