Looking for a new Rig

I am planning to buy a new System by the end of this month specifically designed for Gaming. I am stressing on Over Clocking. So I decided to go for this combination. Although its yet to finalize

forget about both and get E7200
2.53GHz and 1066MHz FSB for Rs.5.5k

FYI, Phenom X3 8450 easily beats E7200 by wide margin.

Couple it with 780G motherboard and you have a winner :)

ok what about comparision for Phenom X3 + 780G mobo + GPU
e7200 + Abit P35-E(or P) + GPU
e8200 + Abit P35-E(or P) + GPU

which is better VFM.
And which mobo would you suggest for Phenom
And you still ahve to tell me the 6K HD3850 which got 512MB DDR3

Check at

1) Computer warehouse, MG Road
2) Golcha Inter Trade, SP Road
3) few computer hardware dealers in Brigade Road
4) Anandit infotech, SP Road
5) Railton computers, SP Road

There is one store in brigade road at 1st floor, fifth avenue. It's name is computer planet I think. Check there but you have to bargain as they quote very high price.
Click to expand...

Golcha prices are generally higher.
Check for Premier Computers they are better in pricing. also Railton are good in pricing. There are 2 railtons, check the 2nd one.

Also I ahve seen better pricing on the side road. the road which links SP road and main road cannot say exactly which lane.
Also I think MG road and brigade road prices are also higher than SP road prices.

desi I am going tomorrow to SP Road, so I would really wanna know about the HD3850 model, though I will try a search for it but if you tell me which company it is it would be easier.

As per my say HD3850 512MB DDR3 is huge bargain than any of the models:D
There performance would be better than Palit 9600GT 384 MB DDR3 which I think is good option in 6.5K.

Please, please tell me the exact model :mad::cool:

I recommend Zotac GF8200 paired with athlon x2 4850e. 3.4k + 3.4K. :)
PS: what happened to *techiesrealm.com/blog/2008/06/pc-configuration-of-the-month/ ? :confused:

Where can you purchase X2 4850e and Zotac GF 8200 in Lucknow ,whether any reviews are available for Zotac 8200?

I am also looking to upgrade my mobo+proccy+ram. I have read good reports of E7200.

Is it better to opt for Intel E7200 rather than AMD Phenoms. I was realy impressed with reports of Abit IP35-E too. But the combined cost of mobo+proccy went to about 11K+
My budget is only around 9K-10K for mobo+proccy. Are there any other mobos with performances similar to Abit Ip35-E but lesser in cost.

Go for the 7200 over the phenoms id say! The x3 sure does offer you an extra core for nearly the same price but doesn't do you all that good in gaming and general usage compared to a 7200 as is evident from plenty of benchmarks doing the rounds. As far as the board goes, pick a p31/g31 based board, it really depends on what your planning to do with it so make sure to check the specs :)

Bond, Desi Bond!
^^ When coupled with 780G phenom X3 easily beats C2D 7200 in gaming and other GPU intensive tasks, thanks to the X3200 onboard. :)

And this mobo will have 30% performance gain when a crossfireX supported graphics card is added in Hybrid xfire more.

ASUS P5Q pro is Rs10500
HD 4850 is Rs11715 and
Corsair TX 650 is 6300

I checked in extreme outervision my systems power management it gave me 291W at 90% utilization and 324W at 100% peak utilization.
What power SMPS would I need. 400W would be OK ??
390W Cooler Master Extreme Power is ok for me or should I check for 460W
