    Mini ITX HTPC under 26k

    Newegg doesn't ship to India. On Amazon some products have Global shipping available but it seems they are not shipping motherboard to India. I recommend Gigabyte F2A85XN. It has everything you need for a HTPC including "good enough" onboard audio which you can replace with a USB Based sound...

    Which combination to buy? Sapphire HD7850 1GB OR Zotac GTX650Ti Boost 2GB

    Try eBay with discount coupons. These same GPUs will cost much less there. I am using Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 1GB/OC edition myself which I purchased from eBay last month for around ₹ 12.5k with ₹ 750 discount coupon. The prices have increased but now you can still buy my GPU from eBay for ₹...

    Mini ITX HTPC under 26k

    I strongly recommend not to go with Intel and to go with AMD APU. You will get DirectX 11.1 which is needed for Windows 8/8.1 and its new 2D rendering engine. If you want to go with Intel then get a 4th generation Core i3/i5 at least as they have DirectX 11.1 support. AMD APUs are more...

    Mini ITX HTPC under 26k

    I suggest you buy a pre-build PC like Sapphire EDGE for these tasks. Or the models from Zotac instead of making your own. If you want to make your own then get AMD A10-6700 APU + 2X4GB DDR3 1866 + any Mini ITX Motherboard with front USB 3.0 header + Cooler Master Stacker as these are available...

    I just upgraded to this new PC from my 1 year old PC with an AMD APU. Before that I had a Core 2 Duo for 5 years. It is highly likely that I won't be buying a PC now any time in the future and will move to laptops for everything. Also, marriage is near so buying stuff of my own choice after that...

    Cooler master Hyper 212 plus

    In that case, I am in the market to buy a new fan for AMD FX 6300. I saw Cooler Master Hyper T4 at ₹ 1.8k but don't know the maximum TDP it can support or should I go with Cooler Master Hyper 212X for ₹ 2.2k which has 180W TDP support so I can over clock upto 4 GHz on air too for sure. Any idea...

    Cooler master Hyper 212 plus

    Do you mean something like the one shown on this page. Do these brackets allow you to install any 120 mm fan in case the pre-installed one breaks? If so then Hyper 212 Evo is a good deal. How is Hyper T4? It is available in SMC International for ₹ 1.8k and can easily cool a CPU with over...

    Cooler master Hyper 212 plus

    If the fan blades or something else breaks in it, it is hard to find second default clip-on fan for it. At least not possible in SMC International. They tell you to buy a new fan + heatsink all together.

    I was doing some research for a new CPU cooler for my upcoming AMD FX 6300 CPU and found this thread. Right now I am using Cooler master Hyper TX3 with CM Blade master 92MM PWM fan on an AMD A6 3500 APU with 65W TDP. Load temperatures are under 38C while idle temperature is from 16C to 24C...

    The SHOWOFF Thread

    I am constructing a new gaming PC after 5.5 years. The previous one was a Core 2 Duo purchased in March 2008 which I used till last year with a Radeon HD 4670 graphics card. However, my gaming requirements reduced a lot due to family responsibility so last year I sold my aging machine and...
