So better ask any pre buy questions coz he is updated with all the latest srilankan prices, shops and new benchmarks. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />    I’ll add something to this too for mother boards if you cant afford Asus go for MSI. I am still not much happy with gigabyte products. Mitech in Unity Plaza selling MSI.    For LCDs get something which has lesser response time than 12ms. Mostly new LCDs doing like 8 or 4ms. If have money get a DVI model and a DVI cable too. It’ll give bit clear text on the screen and sharp images than analog models. But it’s not big difference, mostly depends on the person. About the brands for me best panels from Samsung. Neat is the dealer in Unity  Plaza.    I don’t recommend you to get CRT monitor if you are not working mainly with graphics and video which needs accurate colour reproduction. Anyway if you looking for one get something like NEC, IBM, Compaq, etc.. Always check the specs. As example if it’s 15” check what max refresh rate it can do at 1024 X 768 it should be minimum over 75Hz for normal use. For best it should be over 85Hz at 1280 X 768.   coz they support high resolutions with good refresh rates. Normally standard 15 monitors will not support high rates in good resolutions. so really big strain on your eyes if you increase the resolution.     Other thing after you buy separate power supply remember to buy the case without the default power supply. Normally cases are priced with the crappy power supply. Asking without it will save you like Rs1200/- from the case price. Try to choose a big case with extra fan or two.    Since the RAM prices are high you can go with 512 DDR2 for now, but don’t stop until you get over 1Gb coz now 1GB kinda standard for new applications. To get true power of your system you need around 2Gb of RAM.    Onboard sound will use your system resources, many say you can’t really feel it much. But for my personal experience I can feel noticeable system performance difference with onboard sound and separate sound. Anyway if you are not an audiophile or doing any music production or editing don’t invest on Creative Audigy or X-Fi series cards.   But for my experience X-Fi cards really have very noticeable quality difference than onboard audio.     About speakers in am not gonna write that much coz you not seems to be really serious about it. But don’t buy a cheap 4.1 system coz it has 4 speakers. Even some 2.1 systems are better than 7.1s  So if you don’t know to how to check the specs then ask the dealer to make a demo and go with your flash drive and ask him to play your songs. If not they play their stuff so you can’t get really good idea of the sound quality. Always check the demo computer if they have changed graphic equalizer. It should be all normal.   Most those cheap speakers has marked like 1500Watts power etc.. Just don’t trust them. Always ask for the demo.    About mouse, Buy Logitech or Microsoft basic optical mouse.  It’ll be around Rs950/-   I have lot of bad experiences with cheap mouse. Mostly optical, they pure sucks!  Don’t buy stuff which is cheap and has beautiful light inside!!    For keyboard I think Microsoft or Logitech too coz you can type longer hours and feels nice on fingers. I hate A4tech keyboards coz when you type it feels like hitting solid. Anyway some like that too. I have found some cheap keyboards doing well some times. But you got to have great luck <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> </blockquote>
