Which 500w smps? What is the purpose of the system? I hope its a seagate 7200.12 rather than inevitably failing 7200.11 rpm drives.
Funny, but according to some posts in seagate forums 7200.11 with patched firmware is more stable than 7200.12 model. Mine(7200.11 is clocked @ 4678 hrs of usage and still no issues, its run at an average of 14 hrs a day(4678hrs for a total of 330 days)). Seagate drives are as rock stable again as they used to be, but WD has a bit price vs performance advantage.

^^Tkin that is a great configuration you have suggested. But would he not need a 3 module RAM kit. To optimize the Tri-Channel on the X58.

And also the TX750 --> is not that a 'bit' too much. Unless NVIDIAGeek has shown inclinations towards multi-GPU. Else a 550W would be comfortable, and 650W would be super-dandy.

The mobo I suggested is P55, so no tri channel there, only Dual channel, and since you can't use X58 with i5(1156 not 1366) so the idea of triple channel is buried with it.

I know that TX is a bit overkill but since TX650 and TX750 has a 1k difference its no sense getting a lower one and do notice that mobo supports CF so if he later adds a 5850 or 5870 then the extra head room is needed.

Hello,
I am considering buying this setup in the mid of January. My max budget is 40K without graphics card, which I will be buying a little later. I will be taking this config. for moderate gaming. Please suggest the best combination possible.....:smile:

I have learnt the following rig from this forum--

Dell E1909W 19" @ 7k
AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz B.E. @ 9k
Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600MHz C9 Titanium @ 6k
WD 512 GB Caviar Blue/Green (16 MB) @ 3k
[PSU] GlacialPower 650W AA @ 4.7k
LG DVDRW - 1.1k
Cooler Master Elite 333,334 0r 335 < 2k

Which mobo should I look for which has the best onboard graphics & some overclocking capacity....

Please feel free to make any changes.....



Hey, no response!!

^Mobo for OCing is MSI 790GX - GD65 @ 7.2k. Even Gigabyte MA785GMTUD2H @ 5.5k will do well, but MSI is better. For onboard gfx, Gigabyte is better. Its 500GB WD Blue @ 2.5k.

Why do you need the GlacialPower PSU for onboard GFX? Do you plan to add a gfx card later?

what type of ups needed for a mid range gaming config..how much VA rating needed..
(tell also for ahigh end config)..quote the price too..
what brands other than APC are good..

is phenom x4 955 BE good VFM..
If you Overclock much, then the unlocked multiplier of BE(955) helps a bit, otherwise 945 is a better option as 1k price difference between 945 and 955BE is not justified by 200MHz clock difference. Note that 945 has its multiplier locked, whereas 955BE has it unlocked.

That depends on what SMPS/PSU you go for. The bigger the PSU, the higher the VA for UPS.

^^ Only APC is good when it comes to UPS.

:) The rating of the UPS (VA), you can comfortably load it to 60% of that.

For example a 1100VA UPS can run 660W and power back up this much too.

Remember a UPS has two prime functions:

1. Provide clean constant power (filter process) from the mains to the PSU.
2. Provide power to the system when the mains are not functional (back up process).
