I have a 19" LCD monitor and my rig is in my signature. Can a APC 500VA UPS provide backup for my rig? 5 to 10 minutes will do. Are should I go for 600VA UPS? If so, pls suggest some reliable brands(APC is damn costly) with a long warranty coverage. Also quote the prices.

500VA won't be enough. you need 650VA atleast but 800VA is recommended.

APC may be costly but it comes with amazing reliability. better stick to APC.

^quite right. The local UPS'es don't switch fast enough when the power goes out (the response time to switch from ac -> dc has to be fast ) and your pc has a chance of crashing. Plus when it'd come to battery maintainance / replacement, APC will be much more standardised.

APC's lowest end ups'es arent good at all (the 1400-1700 rs ups...), but higher end is far better still.

Hrm a question,

Seeing that the ATHLON:D II X4 quad @ 5.5k is just a killer price for a quad core, what would be the appropriate baseline motherboard (with DDR3 support) with onboard graphics that'd go along with it ? I feel I can stretch my budget beyond the Athlon X2 240. DDR3 mem sticks doesnt seem expensive either.

Edit: ill throw in a GPU in 2-3 months later after I buy this :p paisa management.

EDITED: Techalomaniac thanks for pointing out the mistake :p

^Its the Athlon II X4 620 @ 5.5k, not Phenom. I think desiibnd likes ASUS M785G-EVO, but I'm not sure if it comes with integrated 4200 graphics... Its 7k, expensive IMO, but has crossfire support!

You mean the Asus M4A785TD-V EVO ? That does seem like a sweet board
The AMD 785G features the updated HD 4200 graphics engine that adds DirectX 10.1 and UVD 2.0 features along with multi-channel LPCM audio output to the mix compared to the previous generation HD 3200 on the 780G chipset.

I think I am going in for this :D don't mind the wait or the $ tag. Any chances for the prices to lower for this board ? I am not buying in a month's time... after ill need it though.

12.5k for Procy and Mobo, (5.5k + 7k = 12.5k)
2.5k for RAM, (Corsair XMS2 available in this price bracket ?)
2.5k for HDD , (WD Green 500GB)
4-4.5k for PSU (Corsair or Antec)

21.5k in total .. hrm will need to save up a bit more :p ..

Apparently the VX 550 and CM Real Power Pro 550 PSU are not available at the moment in kolkata. I am planning to buy a PC in the next 10 days. Is Seasonic 500 W a good alternative? Any recommended model?
The other alternative is CM RP Modular 500W. Which one is better? Any other suggestions are also welcome. :)

My config:

AMD Phenom II X4 920 Black Edition
Biostar TA790GX+128M
RAM: Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800Mhz 2x2GB
Western Digital SATA 2 500 GB 32 MB Buffer - WD5000AVVS
Samsung DVDRW
Palit GTX260 Sonic (Palit GTX 260 Sonic 216 SP 896MB DDR-III [HDMI])

Will a 500 W 80 plus rated PSU be enough for this?

Bond, Desi Bond!
if you want to go for AM3 mobo (785G), you have to go with DDR3 and 2Gb Transcend costs 2k-2.2k right now.

for PSU, i would pick corsair over Antec.

Corsair PSU's are Seasonic OEM so Seasonic 500W is a must buy. I recommend the modular CM RP 500 though because it ensures lesser cable clutter and hence better airflow.

Ahhh yes yes. DDR3 Transcend doesn't sound much (considering I paid 900 bucks for my DDR 512MB :mad:), but is there a better alternative ?

Yep that's true again. Basically the same SMPS as Corsair, didn't know if they were available here... Any idea about the retail value of Seasonic 500W ?

U dont need Corsair VX450 to run 9600GT ! just seasonic PSU for 1K is enough but if u r over budget u can go for VX450 its safer anyway , cooler master 500watts (or) Corsair CX400 watts is enough to handle the 9600GT flawless
