Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[janitha]

Need urgent help for purchasing Western Digital Cavier Blue 640GB HDD(WD6400AAKS), any idea where I can get one in Kolkata?

BTW- I saw one on Lynx-India, is it O.K to get from there, mean warranty and delivery conditions.

This is urgent, my 500GB Seagate HDD crashed yet again, switching permanently to WD.

------------------Thanks.

From Ebay you can get it cheap. But you may have to use the coupon and ICICI online payment. But I fear today is the ending day. See-

WD 640GB AAKS for Rs 3217 shipped

Mercury PI945GCM - 1950 or Zebronics NF7050 - 2100(Choice is yours)
Intel Celeron 430 1.8GHz - 1950
1GB DDR2 - 700
Zebronics Casing + SMPS - around 1000
Zebronics 15" CRT - 3100(This is low priced CRT in the market AFAIK)

Total comes around 8100 if u choose Zebronics Mobo and 7950 if u choose Mercury Mobo..

This one is a decent setup.You cant get lower than this.

You may also try getting Intel 945GCLF Motherboard which comes with onboard processor, that means no need to buy processor but i dunno the exact price.. Enquire abt that too.

Y u want to go to intel @ this rate - go for AMD sempron

AMD SEMPRON 2.2GHZ + ASUS Nvidia 680Gchipset mobo = 3600/-

& 1GB DDR 2 RAM 550/-

Mercury casing with 400 wattsSMPS = 1100/-

 

[comp@ddict]

Yup, and AMD's onboard chip has better gfx too

 

[topgear]

680G chipset based Asus mobo costs around Rs.3000-3200 ( M2a-VM )
but 690V based asus mobo costs Rs. 2100 (M2A-MX - bought one for friend )

AMD SEMPRON ?never hard of it, am not so it guy buy still is this a new entry?reliable?

 

[furious_gamer]

The procy selection depends on him..

 

[comp@ddict]

AMD SEMPRON ?never hard of it, am not so it guy buy still is this a new entry?reliable?

Well, low budget, low procc.

 

[furious_gamer]

Will a Sempron proccy is better than Celeron? Just asking as i never use any of them.

 

[desiibond]

^^both are pure ****

since there isn't much difference in price between Sempron and Intel Dual Core E2xxx series, it's better to go for E2xxx processors.

 

[topgear]

Sempron LE 1250 is selling for Rs. 1500 or so.
Intel Celeron 430 is selling for Rs. 1700-1800 or So.

Intel Dual core e2180 is selling for Rs. 2800-3000 or so.

So there is about Rs. 1000 difference ( minimum ).
Butdual cores just gives 2x performance comapared to above to cpu's.

But as debajyoti2005in needs basic computing such as running office apps or some browsing or some other not so heavy stuff & wants to build a cheapest possible PC.

celeron or sempron is the right choice for him.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Thats right? He dont want to push his budget any further.Its only 8000 dude. We have to suggest for that budget.

 

[desiibond]

ah. I didn't see that budget is 8k.

 

[furious_gamer]

Thats the reason we suggest him that le old Celeron and Sempron..

 

[comp@ddict]

But he can get a Sempron X2(dual core) for 2.1k, I saw it in techshop.in

 

[IronManForever]

^ The lowest possible thing are what the member is looking for. Sempron single core will be more than enough for it.

If it has to connect with one connector, company would have provide solo connector. U r card requires dual plugs to get powered up so connect both & not to forget that the card requires 25A PSU.

@topgear
Dude the user just wants to end up things within 8k. And he clearly states that he is going to give it for some village(like a charity) and he need to buy more than 3 systems.So we have to get him what he can get with 8k.
