@ravi_9793

Apart from Intel DG31PR (which is a very good board indeed), you can also get a MSI G31-M3-F or ASUS P5K-PL-VM.....all this are based on the G31 chipset, are cheap and have good onboard grafix.

Thanks @KPower Mania
Will it be sufficient for Vista Aero Effect. I am also planing to buy Vista Home Premium in few months.

Or, do you strongly suggest Graphics card for good system??

Yup, you need a grafix card for Aero...your budget is 5k right ??

So, what you can do is get a ASUS P5N MX for 2375/- and a XFX 8400GS 256MB GDDR2 for 1750/-.

You get a better deal .

[comp@ddict]

Ok ask other guys if you dont beleive me ! comp@ddict can answer your problem on this .

What problem?

Probably due to some error, but it is listed @lynx itself for Rs :7,246.00
(model no.EN8600GT/HTDP/256MB)
*www.lynx-india.com/index.php?categoryID=1089&offset=8

Listen surplus and old stock doesn't mean used and bad stock...the price is about rs. 400 lower...but Mercury's is @3k 8600gt 256mb ddr3...u can oopt for any one of them, asus (surplus) or mercury...but mercury heats up more(so I've heard)...
waz this the problem KPowerMaina was referring to?

Or else go for MSI P35 Neo F + ASUS EN8600 GTS ~ 9k
If u stretch ur budget a lil bit by 1000bucks, u get a XpertVision 9600GT instead od 8600GTS......
Intel DG31PR sucks at OCing...
If u didn't want OCing and other solid options MSI provides, then just go for Intel....

Ask him, only he knows!

And about the card in the category of "Surplus, Old stock and Second hand" you can very well buy it, but should not repent later about warranty. And it is also specified that the cooler is aftermarket.

Have you heard about the new 8600GT card launched by ASUS ?? Its the cheapest 8600GT at 2800/-. Its model number is something like ASUS PCIe 8600GT 256MB GDDR3....now Mr.Janitha is not happy and saying that no card like that exists. .

yes it does support vista aero ..i have DG31PR and i used to enjoy vista aero till i got my gfx card ...

Intel has released production version drivers for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista that enable the Aero graphics. Intel has also released Direct X 10 drivers for the X3100 and X3500 GPUs.


In addition, along with the latest drivers, the product can support DirectX 10.0, Shader Model 4.0 and OpenGL 2.0.

u should save up money and spend it on HD4670 or similar better card it will be much worth ...

You never said "about the new 8600GT card launched by ASUS" and I never said I am "not happy and saying that no card like that exists"!

Hello buddy ...seeing u after a long time .... How are and you nd where r u these days (i mean in delhi or still roaming round the country?) ?
Now on topic :
If u have budget of 9k for mobo and proccessor ...and Gaming is not a priority then i will strongly Suggest MSI P45-Neo F with any decent entry level grafic card ( 8400 GS< 8500 GT< 8600 GT =HD3650) ranging from 2 k to 3.3 k with 3650 or 8600 GT being best bang for ur bucks.
The mobo has all the features u'll ever need and the cards are strong enuf for for Vista or HD Video Playback. And if ur buying 45 nm Core 2 Duo ... it also offer superb OC potiential (if needed in future). So its on u now.

Hope it helps.

Why u need Onboard grafix for a gaming PC ?? And if u need a 19" LCD then u need to increase budget to 35k atleast.

Core 2 Quads / AMD Phen X4s suck for gaming so leave them.

Heres the config -->>

Intel Core 2 Duo E7200
MSi P35 Neo-F
1x2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
ASUS PCIe 8600GT 256MB GDDR3
Seagate 7200.10 250GB HDD
Zebronics Krish cabinet
CM EP460W PSU
Logitech Gaming G1 Desktop kbd/mouse
Dell 198WFP 19" LCD
Altec Lansing BXR1121 2.1 speakers

Thank you all friends.......... bought my new system today from RR system, Nehru place. RR system is the only place from where I used to buy all my hardwares.

My system configuration is:
E7200 -> Rs. 5300/-
MSI p45 Neo-F -> Rs. 5950/-
2 GB transcend 800 MHz RAM -> Rs. 1650/-
Sony DVD Writer -> Rs. 1100/-
Seagate 160 GB hard Disk -> I already had this.
Power Plus UPS -> 650 VA, single batter -> Rs. 1100/-
GeForce 8600 GT, DDR2 512 MB-> Rs. 3100/-
Logitech keyboard+Mouse -> Rs. 700/-

You get a better deal .

For onboard gfx search G45 chipset mobos from Gigabyte.
Otherwise decide you want newest chipset or better gfx card.

P35 chipset mobos are avialable in 4-4.5K and you can get HD3850 in 5-5.5K
P45 chipset most affordable mobo is MSI P45 Neo-F around 5-5.4K
9600GT is available in 6K as others already informed you.
Any cobo is good.
So my suggestion to is if you can do not go for 8600GT and get get HD3850 or 9600GT

Logitech keyboard+Mouse -> Rs. 700/-

and I see you have already bought your system.

Is it really P35 Neo-F, if yes I think the shopkeeper cheated you bcoz its price is less than 4.5K and P45 Neo-F is around that price range
again for gfx card you could have got 9500GT 512MB DDR2 in 4K which is much better than 256MB DDR3 8600GT which in turn is better than 512MB DDR2 8600GT

Sorry typo ..its P45
I was limited with my budget..and have to select gfx only under around 3k. So, have to go fo this.

Actually I dont need a gaming PC..I need a PC for full Vista support and coming windows7 support. Nothing more than that. I have not yet tested vista final version and its Aero effect..... I need to do some study of vista. Will start saving money for vusta from now.

 

[acewin]

I was expecting its a typo. Good buy that is what I can say for you.
Except how reliable Power Plus UPS will come out I am not sure.
