Budget PC upgrade for 14k

Budget PC upgrade for 14k
I'm thinking of going to Ritchie street on Saturday (Tomorrow) & picking up these things. I want a very cheap upgrade.
Any suggestion on this setup?
I will be using my existing monitor, mouse etc.

This will be used for watching Youtube, email, 1080p rips, office apps. NO gaming.

CPU
Intel G2010 - Rs. 3300


MB
Intel DH67CL - Rs. 5750 OR
Intel DH67BL - Rs. 5550

If you have any Asus or Gigabyte alternatives, please let me know. I need 8 USB ports. My existing 6 are full.
I'm not planning on getting those cheap USB PCI cards. I already tried it.

RAM (DDR3)
Any 2x2GB - Rs. 2150 OR
Any 1x4GB - Rs. 1800

CASE
Any Good case Rs. 1500 - Rs. 2000

DVD Drive
Anything - Rs. 1000 (just in case)

Total ~ Rs. 14,000

This motherboard has 6 usb ports , you can get two ports more through cabinet front usb ( get cooler master elite 310 cabinet ) http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4315#sp ,

Spending more on MB than Processor is a bad idea if ur in budget. Go for Intel or Asus MB

Save money by not buying a just in case DVD drive

wat's your current config? Even a sempron paired with a decent mobo. Would do everything you want ...

Thanks. I'd prefer having 8 USB ports on the back panel though.

You have a decent setup there. It's perfect for your needs. I don't see a real need for an upgrade unless you got bored of it. Just add another 2 GB DDR2 RAM to that board. You 're good to go ...
DG43NB's onboard GPU should play 1080p smoothly. You just need another 2 GB RAM ...

It's still great. I just installed Speccy found out that my processor is running at 98C. The MB is between 45 - 50C.I opened it up & saw that the holes on the MB for the CPU cooler have increased in size. The CPU cooler is just hanging. I do not know how long it's been like this, but the thermal paste on the CPU might be just vapour now.I could buy a new cooler (& some RAM) & place the computer on it's side to make sure that the cooler sits on the processor. What do you think?

Righto. Get a third party CPU Cooler and install it with a fresh coat of thermal paste and get some additional RAM.

Quite common in old pcs. Fix it. It won't cost you much. Rs. 1000 max (Rs.100 for thermal paste, Rs. 500 - 700 for cpu cooler) + RAM ... Hire a service guy than doing it on your own ...
