Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[Thor]

^^
E8200+Abit IP35+MSI 9600GT+Samsung DVD Writer.
Btw, doesnt he require Cabinet,PSU,Display etc? If not, replace 9600GT by a GTS! And if he does, then go for 8600GT
Regarding external DVD Writer, Lite-On DX-20A3H or Pioneer DVR X122 should be nice!

No he has a machine already, so he will just add the stuffs to the existing hardwares!

Is this ABIT mobo available freely here ? we r in Kolkata! and Have to put int RAM too ... 2 gb ddr2 800 MhZ costs around 200 bucks right ?
Could u give me a breakup on the price os the suggested hardwares ?

I forgot to write about the processor! Sorry!

So within 25 K he can even get a GTS ? :O
wow!

NB stands for NorthBridge, SB stands for SouthBridge core on your motherboard. NB is memory controller hub for your system. It handles communications between the CPU, RAM, AGP or PCI Express, and the southbridge on motherboard.
SouthBridge on the other hand is the I/O Controller hub. It handles USB,IDE,SATA etc communication. Q6600 is clocked 2.4Ghz by default. Anything more than that means, processor is overclocked. Since, u have a good mobo, u can overclock processor to some extent. As per your quotes, the processor is running at 41 degrees, NB at 46 and SB at 51 degrees. Seems normal. Btw, for better temperature and voltage monitoring u should use HWMonitor and CoreTemp utilities.

41 degrees was of the motherboard, processor was also in the limit. I will try using those 2 tools.

oops i missed it.....
Intel G33 Mobo is good?

processor u mentioned will become outdated soon as hexacore is going 2 b launched by the end of the year..........

 

[DigitalDude]

^^^

yes, if you want onboard gfx or else go with abit p35


lol hexacore... then you need to up your budget a bit to get E8400 or lose the gfx card now and upgrade later


_

 

[coolest111]

ya hexacore is going 2 b released by the end of this year....

which 1 q6600 or e8400??

 

[DigitalDude]

^^^
E8400 (better FSB and cheaper than Q6600) not much games can effectively use quad cores...

but if you are into 3DMax or rendering/media encoding kinda stuff then Q6600


p.s. hexacores will be costing you an arm and a leg better stay with dual/quad cores

Has Logitech discontinued Z5300??? I see G51 istead of that. Both come into almost same price range (10k-12k). Z5300 are aswesome with 280W RMs but G51 when compared comes with only 155W RmS... So Z5300 will be anytime better than G51. Not just because of power but Z5300 is also THX certified unlike G51...... + at 10-12k price Z5300 will create earthquake at your place.. G51 also comes at 10-12k. Don't you think its way too overpriced? Even Digit April hasn't reviewd Z5300.. so it seems they are discontinued. Why would Logitech do that? You get 80-90w RMs speakers around 6-7-8k.. So when you buy G51, you end up paying 11-12k and what you get is just 155 rms and nice looks... On the other hand Z5300 at the same price give you bomb of 280W Rms... and looks/design almost similar to Z5500... Z5300 are available at Pune (Sujata Comp.) at around 11k... So anytime Z5300 beats G51.. But sadly Logitech seems to have replaced it by comparatively poorer, low powered G51.. That sucks man in front of Z5300..! Hence, Z5300 are subject to availability so grab it if available..! Because Logitech is fooling people.......

[AMD Sempron 65nm LE 1100 @ Rs. 1200 /- + TAX
MSI K9MM-V @ Rs. 1650 /- + TAX
1 GB DDR-II 667 MHz @ Rs. 850 /- + TAX][/CODE]

if i for this configuration will it e any faster than my current
P4 1.7GHz williamette+jetway mobo+128MB RAM?
also if u have any suggestions for such system please tell upto 4-4.5k.

 

[DigitalDude]

@sagardani
yes apparently its not available anywhere

but what stumps me is that they have apparently kept the Z-2300 maybe logitech is planning a new model to fill in that gap... and trying to clear off the G51 inventory..

@upendra
yes it will be obviously faster as your existing RAM is a piece best fit for a museum

you could even try Intel E2160 for good performance but that will be around 2.5 k.. another option is celeron 1.6 Ghz for rs. 1.4k

my suggestion is that instead of going for a single 1GB ram stick go for a 2 X 512MB RAM sticks... that would be faster
