P55 chipset ????


Dude , i am not saying this because i am using AMD ,, u can choose AMD phenom 9550 quad core for ur budget ,, surely u would impressed with Quad core in now a days application ,, please dont go for dual cores ,, if so u want dual core go for E8400/E8500 which is powerful

Dont want AMD phenom if u getting 3rd part cpu cooler means right away go for E8400 :: find it cheap anywhere else

For Artic cooling Freezer ::: select the ASUS SILENT KNIGHT (or) THERMAL RIGHT ULTIMA

i ll give u some config choose from it

Core2Duo E8400
MSI P45 neo
ASUS silent knight
4GB 800
palit HD 4850
500GB seagate
Zebbronics Antbiotics
CM 600Watts Extreme power

8400 + 5800 + 2600 + 2200 + 9500 + 2800 + 1600 + 3400 => Rs36300/-

Sorry for adding 1400/-

But with is u OC ur CPU to 4Ghz & above with Asus Silent Knight CPU cooler

It beats Q6600 in performance using OCing to 4Ghz

I am confused between MSI p45, Giagabyte(P35 or 45 ) and Biostar P45. And my budget is 5k. Also for ATI 4850, Corsair VX450 is enough?

If you have budget prob get MSI p35 Neo F for Rs. 4500
It's give only 2-5% less performance than p45 chipset.

Corsair VX450is enough to run HD4850.

and is should i go for Zebronics Antibiotic or Coolermaster or Antec 300 Cabinets.

as in above posts is MSI p35 Neo F(Rs. 4500) a good motherboard, also plz tell me some other motherboards in this range...

 

[rajatgarewal]

Since my budget for CPU is 35k so can i go for Intel E8400 or AMD 9550 quad? Please also mention their cost...and for ram should I go for G-skill or Transcend Ram(please mention cost and MHz)

 

[earlyman21]

IS Corsair vx 450 or Cooler master EX 500 w sufficient 4 9800 gtx+ graphic cards ?

 

[damngoodman999]

Dont go for P35 chipsets board ,,, please !!


@rajatgarewal

U can sure go for AMD phenom 9550 quad ,,, but my opinion u buying for games with HD 4850 ,,, go for E8400 with ASUS Silent Knight CPU cooler :::: U can overclock more than 4GHZ

Transcend RAM is good ,, go for it

 

[topgear]

and is should i go for Zebronics Antibiotic or Coolermaster or Antec 300 Cabinets.

Go for CoolerMaster CM690 Cabby ( Around Rs. 4000 ). It's better than Zebronics Antibiotic & Antec 300.

Very few games are quad core optimized. as of now You can go for e8400.

But multi core is the future. So I would recomend C2Q Q8200 ( Rs. 9800 ) A oced q8200 @ 3GHz can beat Phenom 9950 easily.
It's better than AMD quad cores. ( Agena Core )

IS Corsair vx 450 or Cooler master EX 500 w sufficient 4 9800 gtx+ graphic cards ?

Go for Corsair VX450. It's enough to run 9800GTx+ & ATI HD4850 cards.

Dont go for P35 chipsets board ,,, please !!

Are there any particular issue with p35 chipset. Just curious.

Is not Q8200 is a better choice. Just OC it to 3Ghz & it can even beat Phenom 9950 ( Agena Core ) & e8400 easily. Regarding Gaming, Multimedia & Image editing apps.

 

[comp@ddict]

IS Corsair vx 450 or Cooler master EX 500 w sufficient 4 9800 gtx+ graphic cards ?

Corsair VX450W @ 3.9k

 

[spidy333]

Is this a good motherboard for its price.. for AMD processors... i think it supports AM3 also...

Biostar TA790GX A2+

A little query to damngoodman999 about the 10% drops in FPS compared to E8500... What FPS range are you referring... like 60 FPS or closer to 30FPS which can seriously impact the gaming experience.. I have seen some benchmarks where 9950BE lags only by a few frames when compared to E8400 and that too around 60FPS at lower resolutions.. and at higher resolutions all CPUs are performing relatively same as graphics card is becoming the bottleneck..

 

[IronManForever]

Can anyone help building a rig for me? Budget 20k.
I need Proccy, Mobo, RAM, GFx Card, PSU.

Errs.. Any help here? I dont know nothing about the newest breed of CPUs, Chipsets..

 

[rajatgarewal]

for how much can i get gskill 1Ghz 4Gb and transcend 800Mhz 4GB???

And finally suggest me a small cabinet upto 3kk that would be able to handle ATI Radeon 4850

[harryneopotter]

@ ironmanforever:

for 20 K

E7300 -- 5.5k
G31 S2L Gigabyte - 2.5
2GB Transcend 800 Mhz stick -- 1.3
corsair VX450 - - 4k
Palit 9600 GT -- 6 k

total 19.3 k.

But still u should mention ur usage pattern for more precise config.
