So, I think its time again for me to go shopping for computer hardware. My total budget is 25K [max] and I won't need the following - HDDs, Optical Drives, Input Devices, Monitor.
The budget I've in mind for CPU+Mobo is 7K. A bit here and there is okay and my 25K budget must include a 2.1 speaker system (Altec Lansing ATP3 or VS4121). Reserve around 8K or so for a GPU (preferably 8800GT or one of the newer ATi cards coming up, if its within the range).
Put in your suggestions for a CPU, Motherboard, GPU, RAM, PSU & Cabinet (if anything decent available within 2K, else I'll use my old Mercury P4 cabinet).
I'll make the purchase in the last week of June or first week of July. I can wait but for that you'll have to help my old PC survive. Thanks in advance. :hap2:
