[Choto Cheeta]

Depends on ur budget !!!

CPU ?? Means just the Procy ?? or the entier box ?? (Procy + Mobo + RAM + HDD + GRFX + Optical Drive + Cabby)

Please post more specific !!

 

[vikramkh]

oh sorry i meant the entire box

Get a c2d...
but wait till the july 22 price cuts...
hopefully u lkl be able to get a q6600..

 

[Choto Cheeta]

C2D E6420 @ 8000 + TAX
ASUS P5B-V/VM @ 7000 + TAX
2GB DDR-II 667MHz @ 3800 + TAX
160 GB SATA-II @ 2050 + TAX
DVD RW @ 1500 + TAX
Cabby + ColorSit 450 SMPS @ 2000 + TAX

4 % TAX = 974
Total = 25324

Now, if you go with AMD you get a good breathing space...

AMD X2 4200 @ 4800 + TAX
ASUS M2A-VM (AMD 690G Chipset with ATI x1250 GRFX) @ 4000
2GB DDR-II 667MHz @ 3800
160 GB SATA-II @ 2050
DVD RW @ 1500
Cabby + ColorSit 450 SMPS @ 2000

TAX = 726
Total = 18876

See in case of AMD i would suggest go with a Nvidia 6150 chipset or AMD 690V based board which may come under 3k + TAX, so in that case u are left with 7k money, which may be used to buy one XFX 8600 GT 256MB available at Rs. 7k + TAX

Note all prices are Kolkata Street Price so may be few bucks here at there at ur localtion

PS. the thread should have been at Hardware section...

 

[vikramkh]

whats the difference between the two ie cre2duo n cre2quad

 

[Choto Cheeta]

Core 2 Duo is a Dual Core where as Core 2 Quad's are Quad Core processor

 

[apacheman]

Intel C2D E6600 - 10000
Intel G965RY - 3800
2GB Transcend 667MHz DDR2 - 3800
250GB Seagate 7200.1 SATA - 2800
Samsung/Lite On DVDRW - 1500
Mercury PSU+Cabinet - 1500
Total = 23400

 

[vikramkh]

and in the above specifications how about if i go for nvidia nforce 650i ultra or intel 975xbx2

 

[apacheman]

and in the above specifications how about if i go for nvidia nforce 650i ultra or intel 975xbx2

go for it...the nVidia 650 ultra..gud overclcking options in it...provided u can adjust it in ur budget.

Well, Choto Cheeta sugeested sum gud options...
u can go for Intel C2D E6420, it'll save sum useful bucks. n gor a video card which Chotocheetah suggested.

 

[saurabh kakkar]

i think this Q should be in Fight Club with title INTEL v/s AMD

cos this thread will generate lot of heat

 

[Choto Cheeta]

and in the above specifications how about if i go for nvidia nforce 650i ultra or intel 975xbx2

only if you can increase the budget up to 30k

as if u take out the P5B-V / VM and put XFX 650i or Asus P5N-E SLi, that would ony save MAX Rs. 2000, u would still need another 4.5 or 5k to fit in one XFX 8600 GT !!! as note, 650i boards wont have any On board video options...

and while if u think for Intel 975 boards, the board will cost over Rs. 9k !!! and not a best buy when 650i boards are there !!!

 

[vikramkh]

how much would intel core 2 quad cost over an intel core 2 duo
