Hello Ppl,
I have been following this section for the last 2 weeks. I want to buy a desktop basically for home entertainment, some business work, and play some games.(game last played- Age of empires 2 on my celeron 400 which died out)
I checked out the options like Dell Inspiron 530 and the vostro range. However I am drawn towards building a custom config (because of it's OC capabilities) however I want to OC only till stock cooler can support. I guess dell can't be overclocked. even if it does... no warranty. Any feedback on this greatly appreciated. The dell is available in a budget of 30K with all taxes.
Requirements:- Running media applications like music, video's, divxs etc. maybe divx encoding and stuff, some photoshop, web. some gaming
Budget- around 35K with APC UPS
Monitor- 19 inch widescreen (viewsonic is reported to have problems):S
Processor- intel is preffered (maybe E4400)
Mobo- 650i ultra/ biostar P35- which is better?:huh:
Cabinet- good looking and robust (don't like the zebby/ iball ones....):no:
SMPS- will the bundled power supply do or do I have to buy a CM/ antec-- guess they are costly
Graphic card- maybe will buy it later or 8600gt will suffice?
HDD-250gb
Ram- Will 1gb (2X512) work on Win XP without graphic card? or do I need 2gb?
Keyboard- logitech wired/ wireless
Pls suggest
Thanks in advance
