A well assembled, highly configured machine, with latest technology, at the least price, with the best speed and a cool looking design … is a dream for any Geek or anyone who has to sit in front of a desktop (even laptops) all day to get their work done. You have so many choices now a days with regards to different platforms, different brands, diverse features with unique appeal to it. To custom build a PC or a Desktop is like putting together a cool car with your own hands, metaphorically speaking of course 🙂

Intel and AMD with their processors, NVIDIA and ATI with their graphic cards, multiple options in the RAM and memory department … amazing looking screens / monitors and awesome accessories including keyboards and mouse…. all of these now have specific configuration, speed, design and more … for very specific purposes like gaming, designing, coding, multi-processing, multimedia etc.

So for people who live in India, the below listed sites will give you that option to get the information, somewhat not the best accurate information but at least an approximate idea of what components are available in the market and at what price… and when they want to configure any computer system for their needs, how much will it cost with a ballpark estimate.
I am sure this will not exactly give you guys the perfect solution to your problem… but will definitely give you some sense of confidence to choose the right peripherals and accessories for your new PC or old outdated computer.
Have fun !!!

 

1. PriceGuide.in

Build a PC is an online tool provided by Price Guide which lets you build a PC of your choice. It can be used to build an office PC or to build a gaming rig.
What I like most about this online tool is that it provides the widest range and huge variety of products… AND… it only shows you the compatible components based in your previous field choices, like when you choose the processor, based on the choice you made the motherboard field values change.

Actually there are so many International sites which have a way better database & features but then I just wanted to check out the Indian versions of the same, because I would be interested to know the cost of the parts in Indian Rupees and not in Dollars or Pounds or Yen 😛
