Thanks for your kind information. Actually i use pc for programming, web designing, multimedia editing, networking, animation...etc. i can afford a good value for a computer which can run the above programs and i want the latest one i.e from core2duo

budget please?, i cannot start without budget.
Also, if programming etc is all you are going to do then ur rig wont b costly.
Also please include the parts that u dont want, like monitor, printer, speakers etc.
Btw, c2d is history now, but would do for your rig.

My budget is US700 to US1000. I need the parts that usually a pc has like monitor, speaker, mouse, keyboard...etc. i want 2-4 GB ram, 250-500 GB hard disk, 1 GB graphic card.....
