Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[Psychosocial]

I said i got it by the end of October... Is it October?
Anyway sure i'll get the Red Monster and tap it in my rig to make Crysis cry....

But a E8500 can also be easily OC'ed to 4.3GHz and what u think abt that now...

Well, E8400 can also reach at that level eajily .

And I forgot the October part.....

Actually every statement I posted to argue you (which are very less in number) is true... its just that you dont wanna accept it . Anyways, I hope you get your rig ASAP and enjoy gaming on it.

OMG rich guy.......

anyways, go for this awesome config -->>

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
ASUS P5Q Pro
2x2GB Corsair 1066MHz RAM
2x WD Caviar 640GB HDD
Palit HD4870 Sonic+
Cooler Master Extreme Power 750W
Cooler Master CM690 cabinet
Dell 228WFP 22" LCD
Creative T6060 5.1 speakers
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty sound card
Microsoft Ergonomic Natural Keyboard
Logitech G5 mouse
Thermal Right Ultra 120 aftermarket cooler.

Buy this......... you wont be dissapointed.

Like to change few things.
Since the budget is 85K, u should look for Q9450 & no need foe such a monstrous PSU, Corsair HX620 can also do the job pretty well.
Rest is best for u.

Very sorry for your loss........ robbers are a pain in the a$$ .

Anyways, here you go -->>

1) Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 (2.5 Ghz..... happy, arent you ?)
2) XFX 630i mobo (way better than the 945)
3) Transcend DDR2 800MHz 2GB RAM
4) Seagate 250GB 7200.10 HDD
5)Zebronics Bijli cabby (not the small ones but it looks awesome and comes with a PSU, saving some money).
6) ASUS 8600GT 256MB GDDR3 (awesome VFM card)
7)Logitech Multimedia Desktop (keyboard + mouse)
8) LG E500 15" CRT (low level LCDs arent good so a CRT is a better option)
9) You wont get 5.1 speakers .....better get good and cheap VFM 2.1 speakers ........ look at the Altec Lansing BXR1121 ......nice speakers

If u can stretch it lil bit more, get XpertVision 9600GT for 5600/- way better over 8600GT & best VFM card capable of running current gen. games at med-high settings.

Hi All,

Why is the RAM Frequency being shown as 400MHz while it is 800MHz. In both CPU-Z and PC Wizard.

While when entering to BIOS i can see the BIOS displaying my RAM frequency as 800MHz.

The Rig is in my signature.

May be the CPU-Z and PC Wizard has some tad B$ bugs.. SO dont worry about those culprits.... Just make sure them with ur BIOS and no need to worry then....

mate you did not mention if you needed monitor or not.
getting P35 based mobo in 4-4.5K + a decent low cost GPU like 8400GS/8500GT in 2K or 8600GT in 3K is very good option,
that is what I will suggest in addition to what anyone has suggested.
9600GT in 5.5K and HD3850 in 5K

Buy E7200 get a better overall config than thinking of little more priced Q6600
....
FOr PSU people will recommend Corsair VX450 or Cooler Master 600W, because GPUs are real power monsters and considering you wanna change GPU latter, also if wanna overclock get stable PSUs not cheap builds.

Crossfire is available in newer mobos which are based on P45 chipsets, if you want anything equivalent having on board GPU then there are Gigabyte mobos based on G45 chipset which is equivalent to P45 + intel X4500HD gfx, except having little less ports and connecting options than P45 chipset mobos. and as ingame2 mentioned Palit P35A mobo
....
again if you can spend then get P35 or P45 based mobo with a low end GPU.
...

Yes i need a monitor also.

Below is the config that i came up with the suggestions you guys have provided.

Intel C2D E7200 - @5475
MSI P35 Neo-F - @4850
[ MSI P45 Neo-F 5850 - I am not planning for OCing, even if i do it's only going to be a mild one. Considering this will i be having any advantage on going for P45 instead of P35 @Rs.1000 extra ]

Palit 8500GT 1GB DDR2 PCI - @3800
[ Below 2 other models are Rs.1000 higher of each other.
8600GT 1GB DDR2 PCI 4850
HD 3850 512MB DDR3 256Bit 5825
Considering value for money, how will you rate them against 8500.
Having a video ram of 1GB will this have any advantage in comparision with
HD model with 512 MB? Please share your thoughts.]

Transcend DDR2 2 * 2 GB 800 Mhz - @3800

WD Caviar 640GB - @3900

CM EP 600W PSU - @3350
[ I have no idea about PSUs, so please ignore me if this question seem silly :
Will i be really needing a 640 W PSU when i am planning on normal setup and no OCing ?]

CM Elite 330 cabinet - @1850
LG H55n optical drive - @1500
Altec Lansing BXR1121 - @1125
Logitech kbd+mouse - @1350
Samsung - LCD - 17 '' 732N - @8850 [ I prefer a 17'' LCD. will this be a good Option? ]

Total: 39850

Please share your thoughs.

Thanks,

Its perfectly fine since its DDR2.

Sure... the +1000 was real worth for MSI P45 Neo F

Palit 8500GT

HD 3850 512MB DDR3 256Bit 5825 ]

The 1GB Memory is of no use in 86GT and it even slower DDR2 ones...

Just get a ASUS EN8600GT 256MB DDR3 as it'll easily beat the 1GB DDR2 version.. If u can stretch ur budget a lil get a XpertVision 9600GT for some 6k and the real steal was HD4850 from Palit for 9.7k....!!!

Transcend DDR2
2 * 2 GB 800 Mhz 3800

WD Caviar 640GB 3900

CM EP 600W PSU 3350
[ I have no idea about PSUs, so please ignore me if this question seem silly :

No.. If u dont have any gfx card and any thought of OC a decent 450W PSU will be enough.... But in ur case get a 650W .....

CM Elite 330 cabinet 1850
LG H55n optical drive 1500
Altec Lansing BXR1121 1125
Logitech kbd+mouse 1350

Are u going for a Wireless KB+Mouse?.... (coz a normal MM KB+Mouse from Logitech costs just 800 bucks..)

Samsung - LCD - 17 '' 732N 8850 [ I prefer a 17'' LCD. will this be a good Option? ]

At least get a 19" LCD as they r not too costly to afford..

ViewSonic 19" LCD - 9200 .. Just 350 bucks more u get a 19"
Samsung 19" LCD - 9700

 

[forever]

The cheapest viewsonic 19" which is VA-1916 costs 8100. However if going for a 19" i would suggest you the VX-1940w model which costs around 10k and sports pretty impressive specs for that price

E7200 -->> Nice choice...... stick to it.
MSI P35 Neo-F -->> Seeing your requirements, you are better off saving the 1k and buying this. Nice mobo, stick to it.

2x2 GB RAM -->> Go for it!

8500GT 1GB DDR2 -->> Are you mad ?? The 8600GT(superior than this) also cant handle more then 256MB GDDR3 RAM or 512MB GDDR2 RAM than what will a 8500GT with 1GB of DDR2 RAM ?? Utter crap card. For a budget solution, I will point you towards a ASUS 8600GT 256MB GDDR3 for 3k which out-perform this.

WD Caviar 640Gb HDD -->> awesome HDD

For a PSU, go with a CM 500W and save money as you wont be needing CM 600W

CM Elite 330 cabinet - @1850
LG H55n optical drive - @1500
Altec Lansing BXR1121 - @1125
Logitech kbd+mouse - @1350
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Go for this components, they wont let you down.

For a LCD though, I would suggest a 19" TFT. Dell's 198wfp costs 9.5k and just annihilates the other LCDs in its price range. Mesmerising performance at an amazing price. But if you just cant stretch your budget then the one you chose seems to be good.

Now u r kinda weird for me... Anyway u have some great thoughts at such age... Good to see that....

YOu will never understand me......infact no-one on this forum will........ I have been through some bad stuff you cant imagine at this age.

 

[imgame2]

Actually, I forgot to post that it is better in 'multi-tasking' and E7200 is better in everything else. Thanks for the reviews. Seems like the big sites (Tom's Hardware, guru3d, Anand Tech, etc) are busy in reviewing AMD's X4s and 7xx mobos ...... hardly any X3 reviews there.

as i mentioned before ....there aren't many multitasking applications available right now ..which actually is meant for general use !

and those sites already know that X3 is not worth reviewing (they are smart people ..obviously !)...but anyways

digit-life and xbitlabs are my long time favorite review sites (apart from anandtech)...they give one most exhaustive reviews one can ever find on internet...not some superficial point of view ..but a review ..in hardcore way! recently some new websites have cropped up like tweaktown...they churn out reviews like there is no tomo and quality of reviews are not so great ..if u ask me....

 

[forever]

Yeah, i find anandtech and xbitlabs' reviews to be far more indepth than most of the other reviewing sites out there. Speaking of reviews and such, there was a pretty good article at anandtech recently. Must read for everyone i feel.
