Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[thelordrrulzzz]

@desiibond
Thanks for the reply. As of now i am considering the Linksys WAG54G Gateway and oh yes it is ADSL2+ and fits well in my budget. I had a bad experience with Belkin so mostly would be opting for Linksys only.
Regards.

^^wlcm. Also, LELA interface (software) that comes with Linksys is superb and has settings for MTNL and Airtel ADSL connections.

And secure your connection with WPA2 encryption.

Pls suggest me motherboard + processor in the range of 6000/-..I need this for just net accessing & watching movies....

 

[desiibond]

you don't want anything else? what components do you have?

Processor: AMD athlon II X2 240 : 3k
mobo: MSI 785G-EM65: 4k-4.5k (need ddr3 ram) or Gigabyte MA78GM-US2H: 4.2k-4.5k

 

[silicon_fusion]

@ desibond.
I have ddr2 2 gb ram..And also going to buy WD 500 Gb harddisk..

 

[Krow]

^Look for the WD Green 1TB instead. Its available for 4k only nowadays.

 

[itisravishankar]

Is corsair VX450 enough for this system?

Athlon x4 620
780g motherboard
2 RAM modules
2 HDD
1 optical drive
Ati radeon 5750

+ some overclocking

 

[spikygv]

sure it is. At what price are u getting 5750 ?

 

[Krow]

^+1. VX450W is great more than enough for that system+overclocking.

Re: Need to buy a basic System

Hi

I am seeking some advice about buying a new desktop. I mainly need it for the usage of School Children (5th Standard). So i am looking for a very basic (Lower) configuration.
I Prefer Intel Atom 230 Processor. Please suggest me the Configuration for low Price.

Regards,
Ahamed Adnan.A

 

[desiibond]

if for children, get one that is rugged and can take weight of a child

what is the budget?

netbooks have tiny display and have cramped keypads. Better not introduce the "repetitive stress injury a.k.a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" at that tiny age.

You need to buy a display that is big enough that they can read from a distance and should have a keyboard that is spacious and ergonomic.

Get a hardware that is comfortable to use.

 

[Muqsit]

My Budget is around Rs.12,000/=

 

[desiibond]

hmm, okay. by saying Atom, I thought you were going to buy a netbook.

12k, you may be able to get this:

1) Intel Celeron 430 1.80GHz Processor : 2k or AMD Athlon II X2 240: 3k
2) Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L : 2.5k or Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2: 3k or GA-MA78GM-US2H : 4.5k (first one for Intel and next two for AMD)
3) Transcend 2Gb DDR2 800Mhz: 1.25k-1.3k
4) zebronics cabinet with PSU: 1.5k
5) Samsung DVD burner: 1.1k
6) Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500Gb : 2.5k or 250 Gb for 2k
7) logitech G1 gaming desktop: 1.3k (this is very ergonomic k/b and mouse set that is safe for long use).
8) Samsung 15.6" LCD display: 5.5k-5.8k

 

[Krow]

I am for the AMD config as it makes more sense and is better than the Intel one.

 

[desiibond]

budget is at 12k

 

[RCuber]

Pls recomend a CPU for video conferencing and tv recording. This is for a NGO, the PC will be connected to a 42" LCD TV. Which web cam will be perfect for this. The Video Con will be held with MIT. Also recomend minimum Internet speed for the same. budget will be less than 20K(excluding monitor as TV is used)

Gigabyte G41 ES2L @ 3.2k
Palit 9600GT @ 4.5k / Sapphire or Palit HD4670(I prefer this as it doesnt need a PSU upgrade) @ 4.5k (Below this is a waste of money)
2GB DDR2 @ 1.8k....
WD 320GB @ 2.3k
Zebronics Cabinet w/ PSU @ 1.2k

BTW If you choose the 9600GT then you must atleast get a decent PSU like
PowerSafe Gold 400W @ 1.5k or
Zebronics Platinum 450W @ 1.7k...

 

[Krow]

^Good config, but I am against Zebby/Powersafe PSU's if he buys the 9600GT. (You already know why).

 

[topgear]

Zebby/Powersafe psu's are extremely budget concious users. They may handle a 9600GT
without any hitch. But it's always better to spend 1-1.5K more get psu's from brands like CM, corsair, antec, tagan or seasonic to be on the safe side
