Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy a PC, which will mostly be used for home office. Ocassionly it will be used for gaming ( like Call of Duty & NFS ) & for slightly heavy work on Photoshop & Excel. I also look to attach a TV tuner card for it ( absolute essential)

Budget - Preferred 25k (+5k if the proposition is good)

Existing Hardware - Speakers & Mouse

Looking to buy
Processor - More inclined towards Intel, am open to AMD..
GPU - Please suggest
MOBO - Please suggest
Monitor - 15-18 inches preferred.
RAM - please suggest - 2GB minimum
OS -Windows 7 ( 32 bit mostly, suggestions welcome)
Hard Drive - I want big storage for backups, so please suggest..
External TV Tuner card ( no requirement for recording, looking for a card that works without the CPU being on)

Place of purchase - Mumbai, no online purchases

Intended use for this PC/hardware - Mostly office use ( browsing, excel, word), some gaming, some photoshop, also need to attach a TV tuner card to monitor ( absolutely needed feature

Do you have any brand preference or dislike? -No preferences, just want good after sales service..

Games intended - Batman Arkham, COD, some racing games
