processor is OK
mobo is too old... y on earth r u buying that.... get p5b-vm it costs 7500 or any other board with G965 chipset.... and don't buy intel if u want 2 overclock
HDD v. less space
RAM don't buy kingston, buy corsair instead (strictly)... its cheaper, performs well and has EPP...... and BTW some hyperX are DDR2 800 which is not supported by your current mobo (p5bMX)
lcd OK
optical Ok
speakers OK
GRAFIX: please don't buy it... i have already told a dozen times in this forum... instead buy 8600 GT or 8600 GTs.... else use integrated... again please
casing is OK


but u didn't mentioned most important PSU... get atleast 550W PSU


this would make your budget 60000

Yar 1.83 GHz too low to me.
Go for Nvidia Mbo or MSI,@Beginer is right ur choiced mobo is too old.
Don't even think about to buy 8500GT.To me wait for few months and let AMD's R2400,R2500 and R2600 come out in the market and then decide which one to buy.
Buy atleast 550W PSU.

stick with 19".... if u don't do gaming or light gaming then buy any asus/gigabyte/msi board with G965 chipset.... G965 chipset contains intel's newly designed integrated graphics named GMA X3000... its the best integrated solution.... it runs vista in its full glory.... gaming or not gaming... just don't buy 8500... i already told u to buy corsair memory not kingston.... u can buy asus P5B-VM... its a v. nice mobo.... and buy 500W+

bhai DX10 ka achar dalo ge kia???? no Dx10 game has been released yet !!!!!! DG965SSCK and DG965RYCK are both stabe and good mainstream boards, but they both have problems with DDR2 800, they support it but only a few

u told u would do lite gaming.... for that GMA X3000 is enough..... u can always get 8600 or 8800 in future when crisis will launch ;)

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
