A Budget PC Under Rs 25,000
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Feb 18, 2008

Since the last time we did this article, the shift to dual-core processors has been near-complete. Single core processors have become virtually extinct, and with prices of powerful dual-core processors dropping below Rs 3,500, you don't need to consider anything else.

Another trend is that AMD is being replaced by a series of cheaper Intel C2D budget processors offering very good value for money. Keeping all this in mind, we present to you our latest iteration of the Rs 25,000 machine. As usual, wherever prices/specs have remained unchanged, we have simply carried the products forward.

CPU: Intel E2140



The E2140 is a very good CPU at its price point. This scaled-down C2D offers 1 MB L2 cache, runs at a FSB of 800 MHz, and has a clock speed of 1.6 GHz. Compared to a standard C2D these specs may seem rather cut-down, but this allows the processor to run much cooler. Those who like to tweak their systems can easily overclock the processor by pushing the FSB higher. Since it’s based on the Intel C2D system, it supports 64-bit processing and runs on the same 65nm core. We recommend this highly as the base of any budget system.

Motherboard: Biostar GF7050V-M7

Biostar is a no-nonsense motherboard maker and while its products don’t enjoy the same popularity as (say) an Asus or an Intel original, the company still manages to offer some excellent VFM products. The GF7050V-M7 is one such. Based on Nvidia’s GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i chipset, it offers full support for Intel’s C2D processor and comes with a single PCIe 16x slot, 1 PCIe x1 slot, 8 USB slots, 2 PCI slots, and 4 SATA 2 (3.0 GB) slots along with the token IDE connector. For further details, see this page.

RAM: Kingston DDR2 800 MHz (2 sticks of 1 GB RAM Each)

RAM prices have been going further south and it's time to take advantage of this. At least 2 GB of system memory is absolutely vital nowadays with the increased size and requirements of software. Kingston has been making quality RAM sticks for a long time. Now available with a 5-year warranty, it’s perfect for our machine.

How can guide this one in budget???????? What is that means?
For the cost of your configuration user can buy Mid performance PC under AMD architecture with good graphics..................... If you searching performance, reliability, value of money go for AMD. Intel is always behind AMD .
Sreekanth @ Feb 20, 2008
pls do not miss guide users by using C2D its ont Core 2 Duo
its an Dual Core Processor
& what about Genuine Microsoft Windows Xp Operating system
it should be mentioned as well
dhananjay thakar @ Feb 20, 2008
@Zach with a budget of Rs 25000, nobody will even think about SLI :roll:
coolpcguy @ Feb 20, 2008
This is not C2D it is dual core,
saurabh @ Feb 20, 2008
hey the motherboard has only 1 PCI-e slot... beware if u are planin to buy 2 gfx cards and SLi or Crossfire em
zach @ Feb 20, 2008
add a 3850 to this one and u have a winner...
zach @ Feb 20, 2008
i was wondering, whether the motherboard is SLi capable ??? Also, what about the graphics ??
Tapas @ Feb 19, 2008
For low budget I will suggest AMD X2 3800+ coupled with NVidia's 7050PV Chipset Motherboard like ASUS M2N-VM.
Arnov Sarkar @ Feb 19, 2008
when can we have it market
hitesh jain @ Feb 19, 2008
Wow... This is a good one, since you can't really build a true killer gaming rig for this much, you've just built the best movie / multimedia / browsing rig, and left enough room for later upgrades... I like it.... Especially the 19in monitor part...
Pankaj @ Feb 19, 2008
Pretty good........
