Purpose and budget? If gaming's on your mind, u need to get a whole new setup. For office/ normal use, maybe a monitor upgrade?

Looks like the branded pc from asus ... you can sell as a whole pack for a decent price and go for a upgrade.

Purpose: Will mainly use it for browsing and designing websites and once in a week convert movies (from Non -AVI to AVI, DVD to AVI)

Budget: till 30K for new one / 5-8K for Upgrade

Will not use it for any games

May open many applications like Photoshop, dreamwever, Dual OS( using Virtual PC)

If budget is 30k, get a new machine instead of an upgrade as ur machine is good as it is.

+1 to getting a new machine -- for the proposed use you will get overkill in 30K.

For---- Net surfing, Music, Playing Movies, Web Designing current rig is Fine.

For---- conversion of movies (from Non -AVI to AVI, DVD to AVI) ----- Photoshop, dreamwever, Dual OS( using Virtual PC) --------- update of CPU + Mobo + Ram. Recommended.

Here is the AMD Entry level:-

CPU Dual Core AMD x2 4200 (2.Ghz) = 2425

Board Nvidia/AMD = 2200 - 3200

Gigabyte/Asus (Not hi-end model)

RAM DDR2 (1 x 2) 2GB 667/800 Mhz = 1800 - 2150

Kingston/Corsair/Transend Dual channel Pack

Hard Disk 250GB = 2030 - 2150

Seagate/Samsung

DVD you can use your old parts.

Oh....

For Intel

CPU Dual Core 2180 (2GHz) = 2950

Motherboard Nvidia 7050 = 2190

(Asus/Gigabyte)

Rest same as above

Add power Supply Rs. 550 2yer warranty Iball.
