Re: Config under 20k

I have considered AMD A8-3850 as CPU. do not want the GPU ri8 now if it proves to be too costly..and have got an UPS, so does this balance out?

Also I need to know if the MoBo u recommended supports this CPU and has provisions for crossfirex?
If not does Gigabyte GA-880GA-Ud3h or GAA75-D3H support them? Also tell me their price.. :)
Thanks a LOT!

Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H does not support AMD A8-3850 APU but GAA75-D3H does support AMD A8-3850 APU - the price of the APU and mobo ( A75 ) should be 7k and 7.1k respectively ;-)

so excluding the UPS,Graphics card and key-board+mouse combi.

AMD A8-3850 7k
GAA75-D3H 7.1k
Corsair Value RAM 4GB DDR3 1.2k
FSP SAGAII 500W 2.1k

On top of this I plan on getting Cooler Master elite Cabinet as AMD does have a reputation of getting overheated.. That shud be within 2k ri8?
It's nearing 20k :(
but do suggest a sound card (cheap)...and if there is any cheaper Mobo that supports A8-3850 AND crossfirex both ;)
I know I'm being whiny ,but plz bear with me :D :oops: :pray:

For motherboard, you can opt for ECS A75F-M2, available @ 3.87K in techshop.in. The motherboard is having 2 DIMM DDR3 slot with maximum of 16 GB support.
And regarding your heating problem of AMD CPUs, buddy that is a history lession, before 2003. From their AMD 64 bit processors, there is no such issues with AMD processors.

@ bhtani - you don't require a sound card - modern mobos have decent sound solution which is more than enough for most normal speaker setup and for a 2K cabby nothing can beat NZXT Gamma ;-)

10. When are you planning to buy the system?
A: in a few months

Dude, then there is no point of creating this thread here, right now, as, hardware market is dynamic & what rig will cost you 20K today, will cost you 15-16K 3-4 months later. :) So, please come back 2-3 weeks before actually buying your PC. :)
