Hi all,
I know this is kinda early in the day to be asking for suggestions but to be honest, i'm confused (staying up the whole night reading the various Pc buying threads didn't help). Have to buy a pc for a cousin who's doing some 'multimedia' course. Going to Nehru Place in 4 hours or so. Would like the best bang for the buck in the budget of 35K Will be taking a quick look at this thread before going out the door ( need to squeeze in some sleep between now and then). Any and all help appreciated !
