Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[acewin]

@aneek, transcend or WD both are good you can easily get 250GB external HDD in 4K, get whichever comes of lesser price and you feel good.
You wont have any bad experience with their build and workability and speed.
Good Luck

DP35DP have every thing i dream't off except it cant OC price is gud too

Viewsonic VX2235wm-5: red a no of horror stories for VX2235wm but all r dated in late 2007 so might it be possible Viewsonic have sorted out the glitches

considered palit 4850 but they say out here, its got some heating problem but sonic edition rocks but for a 2.5K price <-not acceptable

corsair cx450 is gud but expensive

I want to keep costs manageable want max bang for buck instead of the best

just offtopic.. browsing some branded desktops and came through this.. priced at 79,900 from Dell.. Dell Studio XPS destop.. it has got i7-920,x58 mobo, 3gb ddr3, hd 4850, bluray burner, 24'' monitor...

I mean how can dell get it for such a low price.. I wont buying it because it just 30k more than my budget.. but just curious about it...

 

[harryneopotter]

So this is what it is.

AM3 is for DDR3 supporting Processors. (Phenom II 920/940 won't support DDR3)
AM2 supports till Phenom II.
AM2+ is for use of AM3 proccies with DDR2 RAM, backward compatibility. Suppose I buy PhenomII 945 and I dont wanna buy a new AM3 board for it, I can use it with AM2+, with DDR2 RAM.

Did I get all of it right?

Yes.
Yes
Yes, Am2+ is for AM2, AM2+ nd AM3.

For more info, AM2/AM2+ is 940 Pin socket...whereas AM3 is 938 Pin. so now u know

@ topgear

You have Zebronics bijli Cabinet + cm500watt....how it's performance..I mean is it performs COOl & SILENT?...or little bit noisy...

It seems that Antec300 is better as it has 2front 120mm fan..it made up of solid steel..also weighty...in which shop of Kolkata it can be found, also the rate.....i have a chance to replace my old damn cabinet..

 

[topgear]

^^ Lolz

I've Zebronics Bijli + Colorsit Dual Fan 450W PSU - It's just performs great - No noise
Voltage never drops on 12V rail

I don't know which shop sells Antec cabbys
But you can get CM690from M.D. Computers ( It Has provision for Total 12 120mm fans - though it supports one 200mm top fan - though don't sure )
Check the website of CM

One of my friend intends to buy a new computer for himself.
Budget: Rs 25-27k
Usage: Occasional gaming, internet surfing and multimedia
He intends to buy an AMD based PC as his previous config was also AMD so not a problem with AMD processor.

The config which he has in mind right now is as follows-
Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H MB (Dont know if its compatible!!)
RAM : Kingston 2 x 1 GB DDR2 667 MHz
HDD : Seagate 250 GB / 500 GB
Graphics Card : GeForce® 8600 GT 512MB DDR3 Standard
Monitor : ???
Power Supply : ???
Mouse : IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 SS / MX-518
Keyboard : Mostly Logitech ---- Not Decided
Optical Drive : Lite-On 20X DVD Writer

According to my suggestions-
Processor: Some good AMD processor (no idea here) - Rs 4350
Motherboard : Jetway HA06 - Rs 5500
RAM : Kingston or Transcend 2 x 1 GB DDR2 667 MHz Rs 1800
HDD : WD 320GB or Seagate 500 GB - Rs 2500/Rs 3150
Graphics Card : GeForce 8600 GT 256MB/512MB DDR3 Rs 4500
Monitor : Viewsonic VA1912WB 19" LCD - Rs 7900
Power Supply : VIP Golden 450Watts or if budget permits then Cooler Master 500 W eXtreme Power Supply - Rs 1500/Rs 2650
DVD Writer: Samsung Octa Edge - Rs 1100
iBall or Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse combo - Rs 750
Approx cost : Rs 28k (its coz i don't know the prices for the mobo and other few components)
Plz give me suggestions regarding the above config.

 

[topgear]

Intel e2200 Rs. 3100 ( Just OC it to 3Ghz )
MSI P35 Neo F Rs. 4500
2x 1GB Transcend DDR2 800Mhz Rs. 1200
Seagate 250/320 GB Rs. 2100

Viewsonic 17'' VA1703WB (Wide Screen) Rs. 7700
GFX Card 9500GT 256MB DDR3 Rs. 3800
Cabby Zebronics Bijli Rs. 1050
KB+Mouse Logitech Rs. 700

Total Rs. 27950

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Nice suggestion topgear
But instead of spending 4.5 or 3.8k in 8600/9500 just get a HD4670(i dunno the exact price).
Rest seems good

 

[IronManForever]

^ HD 4670 costs 5.5-6k

 

[spidy333]

Ok.... I am building my system this weekend.. everything is set except for the processor and motherboard..

I was thinking that I should go with Q6600 + GA-EP45-DS3L (I know that Q8200 is there but with lower clock, lesser cache, higher FSB, lower multiplier it has lot of cons compared to Q6600 except that its 45nm and runs cooler).. So thats a budget of 17k..

Is this ok.. I absolutely have of no intention of going for a duo.. Also phenom II is out.. so any suggestions regarding that..

What man u r going on changing & changing u r spec !!!

Heyy.. that 9950BE is almost equal when compared with Q6600 at stock speeds.. and that Biostar board has sufficient drawbacks..

I know that I went through a lot of configs.. its been very difficult.. I think I might go through with Q6600 as the gigabyte board seems to be a solid one..

Ya that s sounds gr8 ... but saturday ull know completely about phenom 2 even the prices

 

[spidy333]

I contacted one dealer and he quotes the prices roughly.. Phenom II 920 - 13.9k and Phenom II 940 - 15k-16k although he didn't say anything about their availability..

You sure wanna go with that mobo ?

Instead, get a Q9300 and a MSI P45 NeoF.

Just my two cents.
