@parasharenator
hmm.....let me suggest you something.


Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
ASUS P5Q Pro
4Gb DDR2 800MHz RAM Transcend
Western Digital Caviar 640GB (Best VFA a.ka. Bang for buck)
Sapphire HD4870
CM eXtreme Power 850W
Cooler Master CM690
Sony / LiteOn/ Samsung optical Drive. Avoid Plextor as it aint VFM.
MX518 + Microsoft Natural Erogonomic 4000 keyboard.
Altec Lansing MX5021 + Creative X-Fi Elite Gamer



For prices, check out www.lynx-india.com and www.theitwares.com

Happy gaming.



Superb config man! And Corsair PSUs need Sine Wave UPS which will cost a lot to say the least and as you arent building an enthusiast gaming rig, CM will be awesome .

Go for it.

I have one suggestion though, if you want a VFM HDD, get the WD Caviar 640GB and not the 500GB as the price margin is low. You will get 140GB of more storage for 100-300 bucks more .

The rig is awesome. Go for it.

Please give me SMPS + cabby option for HD4850..And i dont need MObo with Crossfire ..my approach with gfx cards is different!
Moreover I would prefer Logi Multimedia than spending for Microsoft ergo keyboard
And lately,,wud soundcard benefit the 2.1 system,,rather I wud prefer going for Klipsch Pro Media ultra or Promedia A200 THX or U suggest something even,,better ..something truly audiophillic!!!

u didnt include monitor in this one..aneway
I've still 10k left for speakers..
I may drop soundcard,,(considering lesser advantage for 2.1) but I mite consider spending that in a Descent 2.1 amplifier setup,,,audiophiles ,,suggest sumthing!!!

*talesrunner-forum.gpotato.com/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif omg

umm uh well, so it seems even at 70k the allrounder extreme machine remains an utopian. so , u just gotta choose one/ one & a half of these :

>> Maximum horsepower
>> Maximum eye candy gfx
>> Maximum "Dhap-Dhap" sound

as u look more interesed in audio, i think u should look for a good card . a good card + speaker set combo can produce well sounds effects to make u hear those sounds in ur favourite music which u have never heard before.

abt smps 500W (2.7k)/ 600W (3.1k) cooler master will suffice. u may get any decent psu-less cabbie at ~1K.

may b u should cut out budgets from mobo, ram, proccie. i quit.

 

[absjosh]

[amrawtanshx]

^^
Core 2 Duo E8400 .. @ 7.8k
Transcend 2GB RAM @ 800MHz @ 2k
Abit IP35e @ 5k
ATI 4850 ... @ 11k
Creative 2.1/5.1 Speakers

 

[desiibond]

replace Abit IP35-E with MSI P45 Neo.

Heard that Abit is having little bit of internal issues.

MSI P45 Neo costs around 6k and is as good as Abit IP35-E

 

[Psychosocial]

^^Lol. Not little bit, they are out of the mobo market completely. Your suggestion is right as always as MSI P45 Neo is a superb VFM. Also look at Biostar's P45 .

Intel C2D E8400 is a good CPU.
2GB of normal DDR2 800MHz RAM from Kingston/Transcend will suffice. Avoid Zion.
Sapphire HD4850 is a very good VFM card and performs well too.
Look at the Altec Lansing BXR1121 are a good BUDGET set of speakers.
Western Digital 640GB HDD.
CM 330 ElIte Cabby and CM600W PSU.
LG/Samsung/LiteON Drive.

 

[prvprv]

Wireless Keyboard and Mouse combo..

Microsoft or Logitech

Which one is better?

 

[ITTechPerson]

Microsoft I have used different models, they are good but the mouse consumes battery like monstar

Hey guys n gals,
iam new to these forums.
Iam planning to buy a new desktop pC for myself,in dis week.
My budget is 70K.which would be a gaming rig_multimedia powerhouse
Following are my considerations:
MOST IMPORTANT CRITERION:
1.Ive a small dorm,,dunno whether to go for 2.1 or 5.1 speaker setup
But wotever I go for,,crisp quality is of utmost importance
(A)With 2.1-wud prefer Altec lansing MX5021 or Logi Z2300 or Klipsch ProMedia
(B)with 5.1-wud prefer Z5500 or klipsch 5.1(if its available in India)+xtreme gamer sound card(sound card wid 5.1 setup only)

2.monitor-Dell US 2009W (15K).period
3.RAM=4GB
4.HDD=250GB WD CAviar
5.Please suggest graphics card(wid bst bang for buck-HD4850 alike),CPU(is quadcore worthy enuf of gaming,or in future)+MObo(dont need much features)_I want best bang for buck from these,,not ultra high performance!
6.mouse-GX518 from logi is fine,as I own Xbox360.

please give the price of each component,brand,etc. including cabinet,supply etc.
but near 70k in total.

I've got a discounted offer for Vostro 410 thru Dell's EPP:

that means54K for descent enough rig..I could save some money while still investing remaining on dedicated 2.1+amplifier setup

P.S.:Whether it;s safe to go for DELL's EPP(Employee Purchase Program)as the billing would be in name of Dell empoyee,,whom I've known quite recently..but I would pay the company and ownership would be kinda joint.
Anybody having history of EPP,please illucidate as iam bit apprehensive.

And About the quality of Vostro 410(One review on site,,says it gets heated up as single fan cooling soln is applied) but hope it would be safe given the brand's quality and of course the all inclusive 3 years Warranty

So,guys please advise wot to do,,dell epp or go the assembled route,,

Employee Purchase Program is good option, but still the above config is little costly in the price.
Besides, just as a question, I have been searching some Dell employee who can get me Dell 22 inch monitor

Hello

Can somebody please suggest me a motherboard for E7200.
I am not a gamer so onboard graphics do.
Well i can adjust even without onboard graphics for a cheaper mobo.

The budget is in the range 3-4K
Well i am new to overclocking.And mobo should support overclocking.

Thx

 

[desiibond]

go for G31 boards from ASUS

 

[acewin]

[parasharenator]

can your friend help me here

I would have helped you,,but this friend of mine is not a direct contact of mine..And that's why I am bit apprehensive of buying even my monitor thru EPP,,regarding the Billing adress being his(Though i wud pay the company directly)I hope it wont create a problem with the ownership issue..any other issues wich may crop up,,like in case of refund and repair???
So,guys please illucidate on the same...

 

[acewin]

it wont create any problem, it will be owned by him, (though warranty can be claimed anytime anywhere, by anyone), until and unless there is something in Dell EPP like giving for friends. If that be then the address would be yours.

Beside where does he lives, n where do you live??

Ask the Dell Customer Care of the rules,
