Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[keith_j_snyder2]

Nice work dude...but make sure u update all the prices regularly!

 

[xbonez]

just upgrading prices wouldn't do. u'll need to redo the entire thing every couple of months

 

[casanova]

Deserves to be a sticky, nice work

 

[cynosure]

Yes this has to be Sticky. Or who will search this thread again and again!!

 

[sysfilez]

[Choto Cheeta]

Thanks all for the comments and thnks to the mods for making it a sticky !!!

But really as many said its a thread which would go through a overhaul may be in every 2/3 months

See its not possible for me alone to keep track of all the technical Development going on, so I would request all members to please post the new hardware which u feel should be included under a certain budget and views on the price that will really help me to keep the thread upto date all the time... and which I hope will help those who will come here for suggestion of New PC or upgrade

Thank you

Thanks for the comment, all suggestion will be helpful...

I am planing to add 2 more catagory on the thread, Hardware for Performance Enthusiasts and then Chose one LCD... post some view on that, specially on LCD Segment

OK... Added some info on the Intel Dual Core and Core 2 Duo Performance Segment !!!

so does xfx650i ultra has all over clocking options ??
can i plug in a E6550 and over clock it to 3 Ghz ?? what's the max ??
and upto how much can i over clock the E6750 ??? 4 ghz ???

also my frnd is buying a( MOBO + CPU + RAM + PSU )right this week or next....what shld he go for gaming as of now we are thinking of AMD coz cheaper as budget is 15k....?? may be add a gfx card later

mean while i will upgrade in dec 2007 or jan 08 i think i will go for the next gen phenom procys !! well if they beat Core 2 and turn out cheaper that is !!

 

[Pathik]

i had read on some forum that a 6750 easily does around 3.2ghz..

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

^ ok thanks !! dats like extreme only..!!

so what all mobo support DDR3 and overclocking ?? any chance that DDR3 cost might come down by jan 08 ??

well intel may not come in that budget, though,

I can suggest,

E2140 (New Pentium Dula Core) Rs. 3400/- + TAX
ASUS P5B-VM (Intel X3000 GMA) Rs. 7000/- + TAX
2GB DDR-II 667 MHz @ Rs. 3800/- + TAX
In Kolkata a modarate brnd SMPS of ColorSit 500 watts would be Rs. 1500/- + TAX

TAX @ 4% total Rs. 16328/-

So I think AMD would be a good option...

AMD X2 3600+ @ Rs. 2700/- + TAX
ASUS M2A-VM @ Rs. 3600/- + TAX (AMD 690G / ATi x1250)
2 GB DDR-II @ 3800/- + TAX
ColorSit 500 watts Rs. 1500/- + TAX

Rs. 12064/- Incl TAX



would be a good config just later on add one Grfx card, or as u have a 15k budget u may go for AMD X2 4200+ Procy @ Rs. 3400 + TAX or buy some extra RAM as onboard x1250 ATI will allow u to share up to 1GB RAM for the VGA

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

heyy 1 of those ASUS M2A mobo is nforce and geforce 610 and it costs 3.6k in b'lore so why go for Via chipset instead go for nvidia !!
thanks for ur suggestions........as now i can be sure that the config that we were thinking is alright according to an MVP and experienced user !!
we will actually use AMD 5200 or AMD 5400 !! coz that prize is ok !

only prob being gfx card.....so way out is collect money now and get 1 later....
i will try to convince him forget gaming !! and foucs on other stuff like foruming gyming girls studing researching hacking etc etc !!
his psu got busted last week....he is been offline since then...so must get a new psu instead he plans to get a new cpu all together
thanks a lot

hey its actaully m2n !!

[sabret00the]

OMG Choto Cheeta wat a wonderfully posted thread

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

ok what do say ??
which is better coz price wise both are same !!

the asus mobo nforce m2n with geforce onboard or amd chipset one with ATI onboard ??

 

[Pathik]

the amd 690g is better than the nforce 430+ geforce6150se...
just one drwback that 690g supports only shader model 2.0 while 6150se suppoorts sm3.0..

 

[mukherjee]

a rocking thread.........deserved to be sticky.

well,i hv an upgrade in mind...my budget is 25k.

need a decent cpu + mobo + g.card + 2GB RAM + 250GB SATA2 HDD + at least 500W true PSU + Cabinet

wat wud be the ideal config.

plz mention both amd nd intel.
