Hard Disk Seagate 500 GB (To reduce price go for 320GB) 3,100
Keyboard & Mouse Zebronics Keyboard + Mouse 350
Speakers Logitech Z103 2.1 (To reduce price go for cheaper 2.0 speakers) 1,050
Optical Drive Samsung DVD Writer 950

Total   Rs. 20, 925

Other options for better performace:
Type Details Price (Rs)

    1. Processor, Mobo and cabinet are fine.

      GPU : If u can increase your budget, better go for HD 7750 1GB DDR5 @ Rs.6900
      Memory : You cannot use ur old memory, if it is not DDR3. Also, even if it is DDR3, if it is slower that ur new RAM. All ur RAMs will run at the lowest RAM speed

      Note :
      Make sure u have a decent 450+w of power supply

    2. Also the mobo is M5A78L-MLX not MSA787-M7X

  9. Hi
    thanks for all your ideas,
    could you suggest a similiar low end config like the above and adding a budget graphics card suitable for mild autocad works . Dont know the difference for graphics cards good for gaming and good for design work.
    and does it make sense to spend a little more for an i3/i5 than for the athlon/ FX

    3. If you are using Win 7, go to Control panel > Power Option > Select Balanced (recomended) > Click on 'Change plan Settings' > select turn off display "NEVER" (from drop down box" and also select Never on "put the computer to sleep' ,,, finally, click on 'save changes'

      It resolves the issue,,, hopefully

    4. Thnx, I'll try this and update, could be issue with PSU? I am using the zebronics 450W PSU (same as mentioned in best PC config March 2012 30-35k)
      Steps I tried:
      -Updating AMD/ATI drivers
      -Changing Power settings
      -Checked my HD6670 card with vendor(Which they said doesn't have any issues after full load testing)
      After the above steps monitor doesn't goes to sleep but now it rose other issues like BSOD etc.

    5. @Tushar,
      Go back to previous settings or you can do it by performing 'SYSTEM RESTORE'...., don't Overclock your Graphic Card's processor and RAM clock speed, keep your graphic card at DEFAULT state and then try change the power setting (way I told you in previous post) one suggestion, when you use GFX like HD6670, you need to have good branded power supply, with at least or over 80% efficiency rating, brands like Seasonic (the best) corsair, Antec,(personally I don't prefer anything from brand COOLERMASTER)... Let me explain, A 600 watts PSU with 80% efficiency guarantees 80/100 * 600 = 480 watts. You have 450 watts of Zebronics, which I am sure doesn't have 80% efficiency. Brands like Zebronics, Frontec they import shoddy Chinese products and re brand them. If I consider these facts your "450 WATTS" power supply when heats up (after few minutes of usage) barely manages to feed your system 350 watts of power, I hope you now understand the issue but still it may not the cause of the problem,,, then again if you want to overclock, I would suggest you to buy a good power supply. According to AMD HD 6670 requires 400 watts of power supply so, You please choose a branded power supply with 600-700 watts range, It will provide enough juice to your system,, you can over clock your system,, and it will also help you with your future upgrade.


      let me know the result
