(1) Dear Parag no reliability issues there please give me links for what you found wrong with this board though.

(2) you will not able to add another GPU with this PSU for that you should go for Glacialpower GP-AL650AA @4.5K.

check out Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P mobo, it's better than Biostar 790 mobos and can unlock cores, a very gud full ATX mobo at affordable rate and will be perfect for users who are buying mid range proccys like PII 550BE and X3 720.

@ Surinder I read those reviews on this..
*www.newegg.com/Product/ProductRevi...eoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&Page=1&Keywords=


@ j1n M@tt What is the price of this board GA-MA770T-UD3P? If its expensive then i cant afford it because I have a tight budget of 15k for my cpu which must have 4gb of ram and 500 gb hdd.

If you have budget probs then get phenom x2 550 with
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP mobo. It has 780G chipset & it costa Rs. 4.7K only.

So the whole thing will cost you

Phenom x2 550 Rs. 5.5K
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP Rs. 4.7
2x 2GB Transcend DDR2 Ram Rs. 2.4K
500GB HDD 3k

Total : 15.6k

@Topgear Hey bro thanks for replying but i cant exceed my budget from 15k n u also forgot to add the cabinet price so it will surely cross my budget.So you suggest me is biostar brds fine and reliable ? i guess they are providing good features in cheap prices.

Now i think you will have to adjust a lot on the part


E5200 @ 3400 MAX
GIGABYTE G31 @ 2500 (consist GMA X3100 gfx onboard)
2x 2GB Transcend DDR2 Ram Rs. 2.4K
500GB HDD 3k
cabinet 1.5k (circle is good i guess look with SMPS i know it will be local)
GFX around 2200 (according to budget) or can be upgraded afterward when u will get the right fund... i will tell u too keep it as a option and do increase and get a good gfx

total 15K


I don't know if this config is good or not but because of your budget i am setting this....
Btw what type of games are u going to play because G31 will handle some games ( i mean on low setting )
check Youtube with keyword "GMA X3100" and you will know about it...
Only ADD the gfx PCI card when u really thinks it is time.....untill than keep it as a Option...


other option is AMD 780G

take a biostar 780g mobo (suggesting as per TIGHT budget) approx 3600
2x 2GB Transcend DDR2 Ram Rs. 2.4K
500GB HDD 3k
cabinet 1.5k-2k (circle is good i guess look with SMPS i know it will be local)
take the cpu with the remaining about....
My preference would be
processor - X2 - 7850 BE 3700
Rs.14700
Do party with the 300 rs...
rofl


or topgear suggestion modified

processor - X2 - 7850 BE 3700
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP Rs. 4.7k
1 x 2GB Transcend DDR2 Ram Rs. 1.2K (reduce 1 stick)
500GB HDD 3k
cabinet 1.5k-2k (circle is good i guess look with SMPS i know it will be local)
Rs. 14600
reduce 1 stick of ram and it will fit your budget... can be upgraded afterwards
Now u get a good machine
Do party with 400 rs
rofl

or

Phenom x2 550 Rs. 5.5K
take a biostar 780g mobo (suggesting as per TIGHT budget) approx 3600
IMP : check compatibility
1 x 2GB Transcend DDR2 Ram Rs. 1.2K (reduce 1 stick)
500GB HDD 3k
cabinet 1.5k-2k (circle is good i guess look with SMPS i know it will be local)

add gfx or ram later as required...
Total 15300
borrow from friend Rs. 300 or do a hard bargain (Good luck with that ;))... still u will require many small things... so try the first intel option..............things which u will require are power surge guard, ups, dvd writer, keyboard mouse etc etc.....

@ parag1985 - Biostar mobos tends to heat up quickly to a great extent. They heats up nearly 15-20C more than other boards. So it's better to opt for other mobo.

@ blackbird - Great VFM configs buddy :p

here I'm suggesting Based on your & my suggestion :p

processor - X2 - 7750 BE 3.6K ( OC it to the speed of 7850 B.E. :p
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP Rs. 4.7k ( 780G is better than g31 gfx performance wise )
1 x 2GB Transcend DDR2 Ram Rs. 1.6K (reduce 1 stick)
500GB HDD 3k
cabinet 1.1k - Zebronics bijli
Zebronics 450W Sata Plus Rs. 0.5K
CM 120mm Fan for Bijli Rs. 0.5K

Total : Rs. 15000 :p

That is a very good config..
I love the Phenom and US2H 780G combination
But didn't suggested because of tight budget....
Thank god at last u extended the budget a little that is approx 5% that doesn't hurt much did it ? ;)

Tip: try to bargain on the Processor.

After getting such a gr8 config i dont think that 5% hurts and about the prices i guess these are all online prices n when ill go to a shop prices will be lesser not a big diffrence but still (jo bhi bache woh badiya h ):d and i have also dropped one stick of 2gb ram thats why it didnt exceeded too much .That ill buy after one or two months till then m happy with what i have because i dont have a choice lol :d

Guys i think i am getting a really confusion here

Okay i am again stuck with the same problem

Intel Config

e5200 3375
GA-EG31M-S2 2450 or Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L
Total = 5850

Would it be great VFM for buying Geforce (e.g 7100) on board ? because my need for graphics are very minimal for example and really want to eliminate the need for GFX card
or should use a graphic card (which should be a little better or eqaul to 780g ? but should be low on budget)


Can i get a review regarding g31 vs Geforce 7050/7100

Any mobo with integrated geforce for intel ?


Or any good AMD config under 6-7k ? (remember to compete with e5200 G31)
what about

*Athlon 64 X2 7850+ 2.8GHz Black Edition Rs.3800
*Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.6GHz 1MB L2 cache Rs.2900
and biostar mobo 780g or any other IGP solution

1)Mild gaming (I mean happy with low setting) (GTA4 no problem if not playable)
2)Mostly htpc task like
Playing mkv files 1080p movies
playing mkv files 720p movies
Little encoding (I mean only on occasions)

3)must include PCI 2.0, 1gbps lan, igp, and additional display port for connecting two monitors (optional)
4)Video decoding inside the Video chip not to the processor (optional)
5) POWER SAVING will run 24/7
6) Heavy internet Surfing


should i add something in intel config to improve it but in budget ? (please suggest all the point)


Do suggest BOTH option Intel and AMD in the Budget of 6-7k
