AMD config for 60,000

[coderunknown]

Proccy: AMD phenom II*6 1055T - 10k around
Mobo: Biostar TA890GXE @ 7.2k
hdd: WD 500 Black/Blue + WD 500GB Green @ 4.5k
RAM: GSkill RipJaws 1333MHz 4GB kit CL9 - 6.2K around
gpu: Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 @ 15.8k
SMPS: Corsair vx550 @ 4.7k
Cabby: nzxt m59 @ 3.8k
Monitor: Benq G2220HD - 7.3k
Mouse: MX518 - 1.4K
keybd: logitech multimedia @ 0.4k

total:- around 60k....

Get this now or later(your choice):-
HSF: Thermalright Venomous X - 4.5K
TIM: Thermal Fusion 400 - 0.4K

change that motherboard. get MSI/Gigabyte. no to Asus. also for HDD: Black + Green i.e. performance + storage/backup.

iif 1055T becomes like 1090T when OC,what does 1090T become when OCd

he mean to say, using stock cooler, you can OC 1055T to 1090T's level & even better. 1090T is already fast (so a bit hot) & OC it, will require a OEM HSF.

and wt abt squeezing5850,didnt understand

as 1055T cheap, it'll allow you add a HD5850 in your budget.

@arshadmajeed:- here.... sam cleared all the doubts....

The i7 930 is a much better cpu and is highly overclockable as well. The op should consider this over the x6. An overclocked i7 will decimate anything in its path.

Plus the x58chipset will give you a good upgrade path down the line.
So stick with i7 930 + msi x58 pro over the phenom 2 x6's.

but then forget about hd 5850....

if you look at the previous page i have mentioned i7 930 with hd 5850

 

[rahul.007]

@ Varad Dilip Choudhari
vx550 is more than sufficient. hx650 is not needed.

i would recommend something different -

Core i7 930 2.8GHz @ 13.9k
MSI X58 Pro @ 10.8k
Transcend 2 X 2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 5.5k
Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 - 16k
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB @ 2k
SAMSUNG DVD-RW - 1.1k
Corsair VX550W @ 4.7k
NZXT M59 @ 3.8k
Benq G2220HD - 7.3k

total -65.1k

now thats a great config....

 

[saurabh_1e]

whatever you buy intel or amd
go for gskill or corsair ram the gaming or enthusiast one
2 x 2gb ram 1333 or better 1600mhz for amd and intel (dual channel).
3 x 2 gb ram for intel one(triple channel).

and two hdd
one black and one green.

consider monitor fromm samsung or dell (oem samsung only) they have a better look than benQ personal feeling

 

[rahul.007]

samsung has somewhat rounded edges (like yours) and benq has sharp edges (like mine) and I personally like a monitor to look as thin as possible.... rounded edges make me feel monitor is fatty... well thats my opinion.... i like benq.... cheap, good and vfm....

+1. also Benq's stand is good. i heard Samsung's stand wobble a bit. not sure but it can b a bit of a problem for anyone picking up Samsung monitors.

There is this really nice comp by dell, its called the Studio XPS 7100, fits your budget prefectly...

its got a 1055T, 6GB DDR3, 5870,750GB HDD....what more do you need ? priced at Rs65k incl of tax and delivery too...

but they haven't mentioned anything about mobo and psu.... better inquire about the whole config before buying it.....

 

[rajan1311]

Why should we bother about the Mobo and PSU ? The PSU is a 460W one, but these are not the ones we get, if you have any problems, just send it back to dell, we need not care about those things...

you can see the tech specs on the dell site, it really messed up. Its a 785G mobo, but this has 4 Slots of DDR3 memory, not seen such boards yet. Also, processor support is up to 95W, but the 1055T is 125W and is still given as an option....maybe the 95W variant of the 1055T is only for OEMs....

Its worth a look...good VFM...

psu is the most important component of the system. 5870 requires a minimum 500w psu. and moreover we can not always rely on any company's service. consumers have to wait a long time to get their things right. and u have taken a psu so lightly. if the op will overclock then that 460w psu will blow away the things.
785g boards are so common yar. you can find one with 4 dimms of ddr3 at 2.5k to 3k or so also.

+1 to jaskanwar.... i don't know y peopole take risk even if they are investing big amounts(60k this time) on their rig....

and yes I am a total noob...


see dude, the 5870 is not power hungry card, it consumes less power than a 4870. In Dell US, they gave a 9800GT on a system with a 300W PSU and they run fine....these PSUs are not cheap quality...

A very popular member here, has 2x 4890 in crossfire and an overclocked CPU on a TX650, which has some 52A. Even a single 4890 consumes much more power than a 5870 (ok, slight exaggeration ) so why cant a 5870 run on a PSU with say, 36A ?


PS: found a good board from Biostar with 4DIMMs DDR3, just 4.5k, damn nice

anyways, I feel, for gaming at least, a 1055T+5870 > i7 930 + 5850.


@Jaskanwar Singh : What chances that you will get to overclock on the dell BIOS? I dont think so...

 

[coderunknown]

@all, a little explanation on this PSU part:

if you have went through the HD5670 review at guru3D, they recommended a 450W PSU (VX450W or so) if you going use it with a highend rig. so if you exchange the card with a highend one (HD5870 for example) & processor with a mid-high combo (i.e. X6 1055T, which demands quite a power requirement). you'll end up requiring a 500-550W efficient PSU, to make your rig live happily.

downgrade the PSU to a 460W (CoolerMaster Real Power) & chances are all parts not getting enough power. this will lead to serious problem. not within a year surely, but sooner than later. now a PSU's efficiency lowers with time. so, the chances of parts failing accelerates. so either the PSU will overheat or the current it provides in the 12V rail will gradually come down. so it'll give you same result. parts failing.

now as rajan mentioned earlier, the branded PC's BIOS are one of a kind. not even a single option to OC (usually). but problem is simple, Intel's processors are very efficient. with 1.4V core voltage, one can reach a moderate OC (on Intel proccy, even last gen Core2*). whereas AMD's processor stock voltage is way above 1.4V. so a good PSU is a welcome need when going for a AMD + a highend GPU. not a silly 460W.

@rajan, Biostar have the (famous in TDF) TA785G3 HD. with 4 DIMM slots. currently costing 69.99$ in newegg.

 

[rajan1311]

^good post there sam, nice of you to sum things up for us.

But if, a 460W PSU causes any problems, why should we care? Its under warranty and Dell will replace it ! (whatever, burnt 5870 or blown up psu ) The warranty is the only advantage branded PCs have.

Also, guru3D recommends 40A for a 5870, but that is when you dont want too load your PSU up beond 60-70% at any point of time(really safe), going with 34A aint going to be fatal.

as i mentioned, problem won't start so soon. PSU will keep powering the PC for 1yr (that PSU isn't a crap cheap bad PSU. surely a good branded one). but after a year passes, efficiency will lower (PC already having shortage of current & power coming more down). than the bad days will start & i guess by that time Dell's warranty will also be over. so OP will sit in his desk, with 1 hand in my head. in the foreground, his Dell Branded PC with smoke coming out

BTW, won't Dell change the PSU if the card is changed from that snail slow HD5450 to HD5870? cause as a manufacturer they too should know a 460W PSU a bit low for a power hungry PC.

Also, guru3D recommends 40A for a 5870, but that is when you dont want too load your PSU up beond 60-70% at any point of time(really safe), going with 34A aint going to be fatal.

yup. but taking the conditions in consideration, that AMD processors need high voltage = more power or in other terms current. and efficiency will come down, after 1yr. that PSU isn't safe, mayn't b fatal. but definitely its a risk that better b avoided.

 

[rahul.007]

don,t go by the exact readings when buying a new psu.... always take the higher product.... and especially if the rig is high end one.... also, y do you want to wait until your pc blows off and then do all the MATHA-PACHCCI of calling dell people for doing replacement and stuff???? better stick to a better psu and remain absolutely tension free....

see dude, the 5870 is not power hungry card, it consumes less power than a 4870. In Dell US, they gave a 9800GT on a system with a 300W PSU and they run fine....these PSUs are not cheap quality...

about this, the testing conditions also do vary.... the climate and temp. where these products are generally tested is generally lower than that of india....

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

all this reminds of that branded FRONTECH 650W psu. many people know it here.

 

[rahul.007]

a quite well known brand indeed....

its still quite a famous product in many parts. where dealers (forget the ppls buying) haven't even heard about the word CoolerMaster (Corsair/Seasonic/FSP/Tagan are distant names).
