Questions

I have a very tight budget of 35k (including tax). So, plz suggest me

anything under 33k. I will opt for a GPU later as my budget is already

full. So, donot suggest it now.

(1). I think i am spending a lot on the cabinet. So, can you suggest

me any similar or better around 2.5k.

(2). Do i have to buy the required cables separately or they will be bundled.

(3). How much do the cooling fans cost?? Both the normal and LED.

(4). Do i core processors consume more power than C2D & C2Q?? Can you

give me the details, about how much power all these processors

generally consume.

(5). Do you have any better config. than this???? But it should have,

500gb hdd & motherboard must have 4 ram slots with integrated

graphics.

Please rply me fast along with the price, as i will be buying my new

rig within a month.

Update:

k refers to thousand in INR.

2k means Rs. 2000 (41.6$)

35k means Rs 35000 (730$)

    Well the GPU is the single most important component, roughly 70% of your gaming performance depends upon that. It's difficult to evaluate the rest without it.

    Get a better power supply than the Zebronics. That's the one area you don't want to cut corners because when low-quality psus blow out, they can take other components with them.

    However, I would not choose the Core i5 650. It's just a dual core CPU, like the Core i3. If you're going to Core i5, purchase the i5 750 because it's a true quad core and will perform better in CPU-intensive applications such as 3D design.

    For gaming you're better off saving money with a Core i3 530 and putting the savings towards a better GPU. Of course if you can afford the i5 750 that's even better.

    Bad call on the i5 650. You can get a Sandy Bridge i5 quad for the same price that will eat that i5 650 alive! If you can't squeeze that into your budget, then go with an AMD Phenom II x4 CPU instead, which will still be faster than that i5. However, considering your budget limits and other things that need to be done, you may even need to go with an Athlon II x4. With AMD, get nothing less than an AM3 board.

    2GB of RAM is not going to cut it for gaming.

    Zebronics is garbage. NEVER, EVER CHEAP OUT ON YOUR POWER SUPPLY! Spend a bit more on a decent Antec or Corsair.

    So you post a gaming machine for us to judge, but don't post what graphics card comes with it in a currency 98% of people here probably won't follow?

    35k what? In USD that's hitting luxury car territory.

    35k is $35,000! (k means thousand!) If that's your tight budget you can do MUCH better than the specs you list.

    I don't know what this asking about other people's opinions is about. If you're happy then that's it! What do you care about what other people think?
