Hello People..:)

Guyz i am looking to build a basic PC which will fulfill my requirements of web browsing, photo editing, HD video watching and some casual gaming... My budget is max 36k.... Currently I have considered the following components.

Processor:Intel® Core™ i3-2100 Processor (3M Cache, 3.10 GHz) Rs 11.2k
Hard Disk:
WD Caviar Green 500 GB Rs 4250
Memory: Corsair DDR3 2GB Value Select Rs 2000

Total: Rs 17450


Now I need suggestions for a budget Motherboard, Casing, PSU and if possible a GFX card though it is not a necessity. Help will be appreciated. Thank you :)

Thanks for the reply guys... :)... Seems I have to eliminate my option for a GPU... Will get a better motherboard... Currently thinking about MSI P67A-C43 and Asus P8H67.... Which one is better among these??

actually there is another board which has usb 3.0 support, and is not as expnsive ....it is Intel DH61BE (B3) for 7700 rs.With this you can still buy a good graphic card and have usb 3.0 support as well.

Therefore now my suggestion is:



mobo intel.......................7500 (DH61-be(B3)) (astrontech) (with usb 3.0 + surround sound)
pro i3 2100......................11000 ( you have already chosen)
hd seagte 500 gb.............3800 (cheaper and better)
dvd r..............................700
ram 2gb 1333..................2000 ( you have already chosen corsair value select)
case normal china............1000 (if you want to go for a branded case then your gpu budget will be reduced)
psu antec vp450 w...........3300
gpu gt 240 512 mb ddr3...for 6500 or XFX 5670 512 mb ddr 3 for 6700 rs (still can play games at medium low settings)

total...............36000

i recommend you msi over asus motherboard. i never saw that good MSI motherboard in 10k range. this motherboard is one of the best mobo in 10k price range with heatsinks and very good overclocking support

gigabyte motherboards are very good but at this time in 10k range no gigabyte motherboard is available and this msi motherboard is better choice as its P67 chipset.
and for casing what is your budget ?

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
