Basic Guide Purchase a New System

Thanks for reply dude. Well may be Im wrong about Asus but I remember many told me no go for P5N-D Sli.

But hows P5Q pro compared to P45 platinum?

There may be some pbm with P5N-D Sli... But i am sure that P5Q was sure a best buy..
And both were P45 Chipsets...
And P5Q Pro offers some new features and i am not a ECE guy to explain that, but i know they were efficient...

I suggest u go to choose between P5Q Pro and MSI P45 Platinum.... by comparing their features and what u need on them....

But at pricing, MSI comes for 10500 where P5Q Pro just costs 9000...

Get a gig of RAM with that 1k u saving....

Decision is urs...

well u will have to first decide which gfx card u will be using ? ati or nvidia ??

if u want to go for ATI ..go for crossfire mobo like the one u choose MSI P45 platinium ..or asus P5Q pro

if u are buying nvidia gfx card go for asus P5N-D sli

who told you guys--
i have xfx 630i mobo.though right now i am using 2 gb ram right now--but i am dam sure it supports 4 gb ram--i have even confirmed from xfx support website

Yes, it supports 4GB RAM, without Dual Channel mode..

Okies man.... I got it.

Hows Asus P5Q pro compared with MSI P45 platinum?

Asus P5Q will perform little less then asus P5Q deluxe ...but when u can spend MSI P45 platinum ...u should go for u ..its great performing board ...with lesser price

@ironfreak

Go for ASUS P5Q Pro.......... it is a really good mobo with great features which wont dissapoint you. But the thing is that there is hardly much difference between MSI P45 Platinum and ASUS P5Q Pro........ so its a personal choice IMO but I vote for ASUS P5Q Pro.

9600GT costs around 5.5k that too XpertVision brand only,
So get a ASUS EN8600GT 512MB DDR3 version or simply get ASUS 8600GT 256MB DDR3 for 3.1k..Nice deal....

Yup! Go for it. Look at the ASUS EN8600GT 256MB GDDR3 or MSI N8600GT 256MB GDDR3


@rajkumar_pb

AFAIK the ASUS 512MB GDDR3 8600GT costs 6k+ and performs the same as 256MB GDDR3 as the GPU cant utilise so much RAM. If it was a typo for 512MB GDDR2 then its ok.

No, typos... As i heard that 512MB DDR3 was performing well from one of my friend and so i suggest it....If not so, then sorry for misleading him...

GO for 2GB RAM, spend the 1k xtra on Gfx card.. and get 9500GT for the following reasons:
1. Cooler
2. Newer techno
3. More OC(but some ppl dun care so it doesn't count)
And 9500GT beats the 8600GT and 8600GTS at stock or OC u name it

comments on msi P45 neo, chennai price too...???

MSI P45 Neo-F .... BEST <6k mobo.... Chennai..... hmm, it must be costing somewhere near 5.9k there. Check at Spencer Plaza.

comments on msi P45 neo, chennai price too...???

usually prices in Chennai are on higher side ...and MSI brand is tough to get in Chennai due to bad service support ..but u can try shops like supreme computers,delta peripherals or RC automation and mahavir peripherals on Ritchie street....they keep some MSI products these days ...

and since prices are going upwards these days u can expect it to find i for 6.5k or more ..and thats my guess

oh thats cool u know about Spencer plaza ..thats really good i much say ..i m impressed ..u know a bit about everywhere ...

but there are hardly any computer hardware shops in Spencer plaza ..almost all the computer hardware and electronics shops are located on or around Ritchie street which is about 2km from Spencer plaza ..

 

[Psychosocial]

Enough arguing things.. I am tired of it....So please stop this and let others help...

No bashing but comp@ddict is right...... 9600GT kicks the HD4670 in the butt.... and he aint spoiling the brand name. If I tell you that HD4850 beats the 9800GT, does that mean I am spoiling the NVIDIA brand name ??

 

[imgame2]

oh prices are going up higher ..already ....E7200 will cost 5.7k i bought it for 5.3k 2months before .....bad time to buy any stuff right now ...

i know that u don't live in chennai and thats why i said i was impressed u knew about it ... but what have u heard about it ...even i m living here for only 4 years

can i get a price quote for these ones..??? chennai price???

since from tomo or monday onwards price will see a huge increase i can only give u price that i know or bought from R.C.Automation ...which will be higher in any case when u go to buy it ...

E8400 - 7.9k
MSI P45 neo - 6.5k (approx price)
Palit HD4850 - 9.7k (it was the price i bought it for)
corsair vx 450 -3.75k (checked about two weeks ago)
transcend 2Gb 800 Mhz- 1550/-
seagate 320 Gb - 2.6k(approx)

if u buy next week ..u might find prices quite high ..
