advise for good configuration

[ashishmourya21]

i am buying a new cpu for gaming. ( economic)

motherboard : XFX nForce 750i SLI 5000 ( 5 k)

cpu: good cpu but cheap , kindly suggest

graphics card : 9400 gt (2) ( 6500 k both)

ram : 2gb (1.4k )

cabinet : rage (don`t know comes with sufficient power supply for sli)

speakers : kindly suggest

 

[desiibond]

dude, what is your total budget?

 

[comp@ddict]

Let's keep the budget at Rs. 22,000.
Components - CPU, Motherboard, Graphics Card, Cabinet, PSU

Suggestion:-
Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8GHz @ 5.8k
Gigabyte G31 Motherboard @ 2.5k
Kingston 2*2=4GB DDR2 800MHz RAM @ 1.9k
Cooler Master 334 Elite @ 1.8k
Cooler Master Extreme Power 500W @ 2.8k
Sapphire/Palit HD4830 512MB GDDR3 @ 7.6k

Tada!!!

 

[The Sorcerer]

Cooler Master Extreme Power 500W @ 2.8k

For the BILLIONTH time, extreme series are OUTDATED! Even an extreme plus 460w is a better choice. But they are both with passive pfc so it is better if you buy something like antec earthwatts 430w or corsair cx400 for 3.5k

 

[comp@ddict]

^^^That's okay, as long as it runs properly, and it ain't gonna fry the PC too, cuz the GTS 250 itself runs on the CM 500W, even after OC.

I think this was CHIP's recommendation in mid-range gaming in their mag.

after tons of searching and talking to different company executive in motherboard ,graphics card i went for nehru placace yesterday

cpu : Dual core E5200 - 3250
motherboard : p5q pro 9950
Graphic card : palit Ati raedon 9200
Ram : kingston 2gb DDR2/800 1200 (bought)

PSU : Sprinter 600w 3800
Hard disk : WD Cavier blue 1TB 5150

[desiibond]

seriously, E5200 on ASUS P5Q Pro???

and iball SMPS for 4k??

 

[comp@ddict]

PSU Antec EA-430w 3.3K
GPU palit ATI 4850 512MB ddr3 8.1k

Will it work?

seriously, E5200 on ASUS P5Q Pro???

noticed this?
vvvvvv

Graphic card : palit Ati raedon 9200

 

[desiibond]

hehehe. I think he missed to type HD4850

 

[pimpom]

seriously, E5200 on ASUS P5Q Pro???

Like giving your 90-year old grandmother a Ferrari

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^hey hey, don't call the E5200 a 90-year old grandmother. u must tell its a 5year old kid on a Ferrari

If I would had enuf money I would hav taken dat mobo with E5200; on it u can O.C. the E5200 like a h3ll

btw its a waste of money, E7200 and P5Q Pro will be a gud combo

 

[desiibond]

yes. E5200 overclocks like hell. So does E7200. but a 5k mobo is more than enough for taht proccy.

E7200+MSI P45 Neo+aftermarket cooler would've been much better deal.

anyways......

and that too "after tons of searching and talking to different company executive in motherboard ,graphics card "

I wonder who those executives are

 

[comp@ddict]

get E5300 or E5200, as they are more OC friendly, especially if u have generic/value/the normal ram.

 

[saqib_khan]

Guys, Guys, we r just assuming he'll be doing OC, mostly normal users don't OC.

Go for Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 and G31 mobo would be fine for this proccy.

 

[desiibond]

^^Looks like he already bought that stuff

thanks for advice guys, exactly what i was looking for....

edit:
A question
will cooler master 500 watts extreme psu handel hd4850 + intel e7400 properly or should i go for 600 watts cooler master psu?

 

[ganeshravi]

i once did a E8400(OC'ed to 3.4Ghz) + HD4850 on CM ExtremePower Plus 500w around six months ago and its still workin good as far as i got feed back from that friend of mine....

i think it could handle it....

 

[The Sorcerer]

^^ Well did you open the psu and check the capacitors? Also did you test the stability using orthos blend test as well? Did you check the +12v and +3.3v rail? No screenshots and photos to back it up, not many people would agree. Googling the forums tells too many stories.

Although yes both of them can but don't go for either of them as your better options are :-
Budget = Antec EA 430 @3.3K (yes it can well handle your upcoming rig)
Performance = Corsair VX450 @4k
VFM+future proof = Antec EA 650 @5K
