AMD Processor preferably phenom 550be

RAM atleast 4gb

19 or 20 inch monitor

I dont think that is possible with a 17k budget mate :( You know it as well as I do.

Here's what you can do...

Component Model Price

CPU AMD Athlon X3 440 3.0GHz 3300

Motherboard Asus M4A78LT-M LE 2600

HDD Seagate Barracuda 500gB.7200RPM 1700

Chassis Zebronics Bijli/Generic 1000

Monitor Dell 1920IN/1720 5500

RAM Corsair 4GB DDR3 Value RAM 1333Mhz 2100

Keyboard + Mouse Logitech Desktop Combo 700

PSU FSP Saga II 350W 1500

ODD LG GH22NS50 900

Total 19300


Things you can do to shave costs,

-Get a 17" instead of a 19" (You can't see sh!t if its a 19")

-Get 2GB of RAM instead of 4GB of ram- I dont see the need of 4GB of RAM for programming.

-Instead of an X3 440 get an X2 250/240 - You will run a cleaner rig with a dual core, IMO.

-Get the ODD only if you absolutely can't make do without it.

Here's what you can't do to shave costs,

-At all costs DONT downgrade the PSU further, else you'll have a lot of bulgy caps on your mobo.

:cool2:
 
ya i was sure the budget wont be sufficient...... how about you remove keyboard & mouse and monitor .... and give me a config for 17k for just the cpu......
 
CPU AMD Athlon II x4 640 4300
Motherboard Gigabyte 785GMT-US2H 3400
RAM Corsair Value DDR3 1333MHz CL9 2GB 1100
HDD Seagate 7200.12 500GB 1700
GPU Onboard HD4200 IGP
Monitor
Cabinet NZXT Gamma 2100
PSU Corsair CX400 2400
Keyboard
Mouse
ODD Samsung/LG/Sony 900
Speakers Altec Lansing VS2621 1500
Total 17400

If you can spend some 1.1k more then buy a 2Gb stick more bit IMO 2Gb ram would be more than enough for your usage...
 
thanks for the replies but dont need speakers either already have them.............. i basically need just the cpu....... nothing else.....
