For that config, i guess its more than enough! And this SMPS will stay for a long time! My CM 430W is still running hot!

to use HDMI, u need to have an HDMI input waala TV set which will set u back with at least 60k.
HDMI has not much improvement over DVI in picture quality for displays upto 22LCD monitor or 32"LCD HDTV. But it has digital HQ audio incorporated to same connection and is useful for TV. But why audio signal to monitor?
So stick to DVI as far as u use a monitor - CRT or TFT.

U can connect ur lcd monitor to a dvi port or a vga port. In case either ur gpu/board or monitor wont hav dvi u ll hav to use a converter.

Choto Cheeta said:
not really but which ever u find cheaper :p, as for gaming though on paper SM 3.0 and SM 2.0 :p but on real time both runs game the way :p if one cant run another too cant :lol: I like M2A-VM over M2N-VM as I feel the AMD one is better platform to upgrade on :D

thats way too high man..

Choto Cheeta said:
I like M2A-VM more as a platform to build on rather than the M2N-VM :) so its completelly personal choice :) both are good :D i personally vote for M2A-VM :)

but why .. dont you think geforce more compatible with nvidia 630a chipset
and 2ndly .. AMD 690G is around for ages .. 630a+7100 is comparatively new chipset

I did again said its personal :lol: I have both running at Cafe :( the 690G seems to me better while OCing the X2 also, X2 seems perforimg better on 690G like on real worl apps such as suppose using Nero Vision Express to burn at 700 MB AVI to DVD or VCD, the 690G with same comfig seems to do it faster than 630a :( same observation with few other apps too... where as on Paper 7100 is better than x1250 :( but then again its just personal thoughts :(

i seriously don't understand when peeps have money to buy a quad core,8800GT... then why do they shy in spending on a PSU,when PSU is the most important element of them all:neutral:

no offense meant,just my personal thoughts:D

hmm.. yet to run a Core 2 DUo with substnd SMPS for full 3 years but i have the 1st Core 2 system since its been 2 years and still i didnt face any problem !!!

But dont think otherways :) I tooo always advocate for at-least a Zebronics 500 watts when even some one things of OC with Core2 and a grfx card :)

I made my comment just to clear if any doubt u have... as me to support ur comment on buying at-least a branded PSU or 500 watts such as Zwebronics 500 platinum at Rs. 1800/- :)
