Basic Guide Purchase a New System

@ganeshravi
ur new config wont be having a large improvement than ur current one.
E8400@ 4.1 + 4850 oc can handle most games at high~max at moderate resolution.
better if u wait a bit longer and go for some GTX 350 [one which gonna be released with 512 SP] or an HD 5870/X2 with a new intel/AMD 32nm quad by Q4 2009 or Q1 2010.

@desiibond: my immediate budget is 60k..... or is it worth the wait for buying this setup?
and i forgot to mention, i've never owned or used an AMD setup... so i'm not tat sure about it...

@dOm1naTOr: my main intention is to get a rig for myself... i'm givin my current setup to my brother...

 

[desiibond]

Try AMD this time and you will be happy. I have been using AMD rig for 3yrs and I oveclocked the CPU the very first week.

You can wait for AMD Phenom II X4 945 and 955 to enter Indian market. This would reduce Phenom II 920 and 940 prices further.

Just For information ... AMD 945 BE has been launched in INDIA yesterday. My friend ( a cafe owner and hardware seller, became an AMD partner recently) has got an SMS from AMD yesterday about this launch.

 

[desiibond]

[Arnab boss]

Ya it has been launched and both r am3 platforms as 955 is 3.2ghz with 8 mb l2 & l3 cache memory...'

 

[desiibond]

And they are getting closer and closer to Core i7.

First, you said you needed a card above 9 series, second you said you needed a set of "pretty good" proccy and mobo for gaming.

NONE OF THE COMPONENTS LISTED ABOVE FALLS IN THIS CATAGORY.
You won't be able to play most recent games with that config above 1280x1024(low settings). And games like Crysis, GOW, FC2 will probably run @ <10FPS with that config.

The config you've chosen is really good for office work, surfing, movies and music but absolutely not good for gaming, in order to play games you need least HD4670/9600GT and Intel E7300/Athlon 64 X2 7750+

P.S-Cabby+SMPS=1k???
You'll get a SMPS that cannot power a light bulb let alone a PC, seriously.
You should get a coolermaster 500w SMPS at least. A bad SMPS can destroy all your componenets along with it.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ yup he is right... 9500GT isn't a great performer when it comes to gaming.. So a 4670 or a 9600GT will be a wiser and better choice.. And the proccy u mentioned is too old...

 

[ay_aceoo7]

k..... thanks yaar...i will buy wat u told....

 

[Arnab boss]

Certainly if u want serious gaming then go 4 xfx gt 9600 512 mb @ 5.4k

And rest u like but pick a proccy above 2.6 ghz...!

 

[pariharvikas23]

I have P4 Based Computer and want to upgrade it. My purpose is Watching movies, Net surfing, Playing small games(will add GPU latter for high def games). Budget is around 6K(only CPU + MB + RAM). Can any body suggest which config will be better AMD or INTEL based (performance and value for money )along with PRICE ?

 

[furious_gamer]

@pariharvikas23

Your budget seems to be the problem here.. Anyway just get some used Proc+Mobo+RAM from Bazaar section.
Or else you may ended up with Sempron LE or Celeron Proccies.. If you be happy with that here is ur config

Intel Config

Celeron 1.8GHz - 1.95k(I prefer you to get atleast E5200@3.5k to ensure you not get any crap)
Gigabyte G31M S2L - 2.4k
2GB Transcend - 1.2k

Total - 5.6k

AMD Config

Sempron LE 2.1GHz - 1.5k
Suitable mobo - (dunno the model) around 2.5k
Transcend 2GB DDR2 - 1.2k

Total - 5.2k
