· Q: What is your budget?

As low as possible without compromising on quality.

None.

· Q: Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)

None

· Q: Which hardware component are you looking to buy (component name). If you have already decided on a configuration then please mention the (component brand and model) as well, this will help us in fine tuning your requirement.

> Depending on price I’d prefer cheapest dual-core, (The E5300s etc) OR entry level Core i3 (Only if performance difference between dual-core and corei3 is impressive enough to shell out more mullah!) OR entry level/midrange AMD dual-core. I’m leaning towards AMD due to the fact AMD offers more bang for the buck (Mobo has more specs for less/same cost)

Motherboard – Gigabyte is top priority! USB 3 ready mobo. Don’t know model name.

Prefreably corsair value select 4gb 2x2 ram.

500 GB WD Hdd/Samsung DVD Writer.
