Budget to Mid-range Assembled PC suggestions

[mhsabir]

So I will be getting a new PC assembled, managed to get a person to whom I need to send the config. I am planning to ask him as well for suggestions. But in general, want some idea of what to ask - as its been almost a decade since I have delved into all this

But this is the general idea I had - considering cost & needs.... Any suggestions to add/change. Plus any suggestions for specific model etc welcome

1) Motherboard – AMD (Decent performance)
2) AMD Processor
3) 4 GB Ram
4) 1 TB HDD
5) Cabinet – Decent level
6) Power Supply – Decent level
7) Entry level Graphics Card – Basic needs , not for high-end gaming
8) Wireless Keyboard/Mouse

Already have monitor, no need of CD/DVD writer as well...Any other crucial part I am missing?

Why AMD

Hmm.. Cost? AMD really that bad :/

And like I said.. I am waiting for suggestions... And reasons not to go for AMD if so be the case..

Add budget so that you don't get absurd recommendations.

30k on the higher end.... Prefer near to 20s.... Also mostly browsing & docs is the use... amateur photo editing is the max. intensive work I see happening on it.

i do not even know which generation intel processors are in the budget segment these days

Thats why even I put it here - to get some suggestions.... AMD I have heard about heating issues long ago - Does that persist even now... But well, lets wait for the feedback.

The only catch is I need to probably move on this quickly.

I doubt we have any active member who is into desktop pcs these days. Best would be to crosspost on another forum like Techenclave or Digit >

Considering that I might be going ahead today with the purchase/order - I guess I just need some last minute tips if possible.
