What is your budget for a graphics card ??

Sir, really unfortunate but I really do not have any contact in Pakistan hence I am unable to speak of the rates available there.

USD values has really little mean over countries which has import / excise duty !!!!

Hence sir you have to ask in local market to get a quotation !!!

Thank you,

Please read this and see if this helps you or not.

feel free to drop a question if you have any in that thread

thank you

Sorry for the late comment, please tell me whats the budget for your notebook and purpose of it ??

Do you need 13″ models or 15″ ones ?? As see if you really mean portability, the 14 / 15″ models are some what in heavier side and when you move a lot it would feel extra burden on your shoulder, hence what is your purpose ??

Sorry for this late reply… I already have requested to use the Forum http://techbengal.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4 to post a question as that is an easier format to handle question answer rather a blog post

anyway, I have also received your email, hence by the data I have in email from you as per your requirement, here is what I may recommend you.

Indeed you have a lower budget where as requirements are higher !! Do you need a TFT as in case a TFT in needed Rs. 9200/- + VAT needs to be set aside from the available Rs. 25k budget for the full system. Maya / video editing would require more processing power hence I would prefer a powerful processor while a CRT display !!!

This is the bellow config I think would be best for you.

AMD Phenom X3 8450 @ Rs. 5500 /- + VAT
GigaByte GA-MA78GM-S2H @ Rs. 4500 /- + VAT
Kingstone 2 GB DDR-II 667 MHz @ Rs. 1750 /- + VAT
320 GB SATA-II 16MB / 32 MB Buffer @ Rs. 2800 /- + VAT
DVD RW (IDE) @ Rs. 1100 /- + VAT
Any Local Cabinet where as Try to buy a branded 500 watts SMPS (VIP / PowerSafe / Zebronics Platinum) @ Rs. 2000 /- + VAT
17″ CRT LG 700E @ Rs. 4100 /- + VAT
Logitech 700 / Microsoft Desktop Pro Combo Key+Mouse @ Rs. 650 /- + VAT
UPS Local Brand @ Rs. 1400 /- + VAT
Creative 2.1 SBS 300 / 320 / 310 @ Rs. 1000 /- + VAT

Total TAX Rs. 992 /-
Total Rs. 25792 /-

See prices may varry depending your location in India.. Check your local stores and if you feel the need, feel free to post here

Try to accommodate a better processor and mobo along with 667 MHz 2 GB RAM atleast while doing so to cut the price if you have to opt for lower HDD such 160 GB or leave out the creative speaker to get a cheap local Rs. 200 one, also do so.

Apart from Processor and Mobo rest and addable, meaning you can add another HDD / buy a new speaker or get a TFT any time, while Processor + Mobo is quite one time investment hence try to put the full effort in the processor and Mobo

Regarding cabinet, one thing keep in mind, any cabinet shall do for you, so no need to buy any branded one, just look in the shop any cabinet without SMPS at around Rs. 800 shall do, where as you invest a bit of extra penny in a better SMPS, because you would get a higher AMD Phenom X3 processor you at-least need a good SMPS of 500 watts… Those which comes by default with cabinet is certainly not upto the mark.. look for VIP / PowerSafe / Zebronics / CoolerMaster (< this one would be out of ur budget) type brand for your PSU
