Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[desiibond]

yep. if you want to have a pc for 3-4yrs atleast, go with quadcore+am3+ddr3 setup.

 

[blackbird]

was interested in the Dynamic Energy saver mobo i.e EG31M-S2 rev 2.x but all shop keeper kept repeating "Are bhai woh to kab ka band ho gaya hai g31m-es2l is the latest one. Kahi bhi dhundo nahi milenga" and tried several shop but didn't find any

Okay purchased
Corsair 2gb 800mhz = 1500 (some time very hard to find "shop : Dynet lelo it is best LOL ")
logitech 100 key = 275 (mien was not working good local brand double key pressed at a time)
G31M-ES2L = 2375 (i still think will it really save energy or it is just company marketing tact ? Like ASUS green pc EPU)

I had a Intel Pentium 4 531 (3Ghz) cpu in my existing pc so used with it...

So far good system...
Was not able to check the Power consumption through. This pc is for my family will purchase my pc in a day or two.

Easy tuner 6 is best i guess for easy OC
Pumped up the processor to 3.4 - 3.6 in no time... but there was stability issue. Don't have time check that so will use the default speed (i.e 3ghz)

what i want is (all in tight budget) (NEED SUGGESTION on pricing too)
1) Thermal Paste
2) Phenom II x2 550 & 790gxb or any other 780gb depends
3) E5200 or AMD which ever is better or equal to e5200
4) Mobo g31 or 780g
5) Corsair or OCZ ram thinking of buying 1066mhz because of O.C
6) Good Cpu cooler in Budget
7) Micro atx case

I want to know where will i get a better rate on this in mumbai lamington road.. because
it is hard to find a shop with the things and everytime they call to the dealer to ask etc etc and cost is always high which includes to TIME WASTE

CM Nano Fusion ( I can swear by it ) or Artic Silver MX. Rs. 300-450

Phenom 2 x2 550 with Gigabyte 780G mobo GA-MA78GM-US2H ( note you will not need a separate gfx card to enjoy HD movies ) Both will cost you Rs. around 10K

Get corsair or OCZ which one is cheaper

You can get OCZ vanquisher or CM Hyper TX2 or Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer Rs. 1400, 2000, 2200

Get zebronics Bijli. It's just Rs. 1.1K without PSU. For PSU get CM 460W extreme Power Plus Rs. 2.5K

For Intel Part :

e5200 equivalent amd proc is 7750/7850 b.e @ stock . But A oced 3Ghz e5200 can easily beat a Oced 7750 B.e with 3.1Ghz clock speed.

So if you are not going with phenom X2 550 then e5200 is your best bet.
You should be able to reach 3Ghz easily with g31.

For gfx card get the plait one with HDMI port

Helo I'm new here & just want to get some comments on this config.
phenom x4 955 / Phenom 2 X4 940
biostar ta790gx 128 m /ASUS M3A78-EMH-HDMI (AMD 780G/SB700)

FRONTECH 450 WATT SMPS/Coolermaster Elite-332

well / are for if I don't find the product in shop or I could not get them duo to over all budget.....please Any suggestion friends.

 

[desiibond]

I would go for this:

1) Phenom II X4 955
2) MSI 770-C35 or Gigabyte MA770-UD3 (am3 socket + ddr3 ram)
3) 2x2GB G-Skill or Corsair performance DDR3 1333MHz RAM : 6k-7k (almost same price as 1066MHz DDR2 RAM) or you can get a 2gig transcend DDR3 1333MHz ram for 2.2k
4) XFX/evga/palit GTX260 for 11k. A better deal would be a GTX275 for 14k
5) Dell 1909W or Samsung 2033sw. My pick would be a 22" FullHD display to do justice to above config.
6) forget about frontech's and zeb entry level psus. pick among these

a) Zebronics Gold 600W
b) GlacialPower 600W
c) corsair VX650W
d) coolermaster Extremepower 600W
7) Western Digital 500gig for 2.7k or 1Tb for 4.5k

Hi,
I was planning to buy an Intel based CPU and selling my 4 year old one.
But seeing the good reviews that AMD Phenom II X4 940 and 920 got here and elsewhere on net, I'am not so sure now.
So, please can anyone guide me to a good CPU (without HD) under Rs.36-38k? (I'll be doing some gaming on my PC so I'am thinking of a GTX 260 GPU)

Thanks.

@topgear
You know you are very help full thx dude

i would like to ask few question

For gfx card get the plait one with HDMI port

1) Why u suggested Palit ? Even though i heared that they now do not have a local support (source = i think in chip, techenclave forum).. is it a good O.Cer ? does it because the HDMI port exactly where can i use it (i have old TV where i watch movies and CRT monitor) i mean advantage of HDMI
source : *www.chip.in/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=39906&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=1050
2) Asus have passive Cooling

here are some different 8400gs available in the market
Asus 8400gs (the only passively cooled 8400 , good design, heavy best in 8400gs range) = 1700-1800
Palit 8400gs (i found HDMI port on it the other might include but i forgot)= 1650
sparkle = 1700-1800
msi = 1700-1800
galaxy = 1700-1800
xfx = 1700-1800

3) Where exactly u buy from ? (in mumbai..) particularly which shop

CM Nano Fusion ( I can swear by it ) or Artic Silver MX. Rs. 300-450

4) The thermal paste you suggested how many time can i use it ?
i have seen
*Cooler Master Nano Fusion (R9-GE7-PTK3)
*Cooler Master Ice Fusion Thermal Compound (RG-ICF-CWR2-GP) ( i can use this several times on many pc)

5) For a cpu cooler the mentioned cooler from you are very costly.. I don't think e5200 will need that because of it i am buying it..

Shall i use a After market cooler like this one (Budget)
*www.theitdepot.com/details-C10P4768.html

6) Which fan is good for NB cooling (BUDGET)

Phenom 2 x2 550 with Gigabyte 780G mobo GA-MA78GM-US2H ( note you will not need a separate gfx card to enjoy HD movies ) Both will cost you Rs. around 10K

7)the above mentioned config is not mien it will be used for the gaming config will it be good or i have to use the 790 board i will be using generic SMPS can't extend the budget...can u suggest a PSU under 1.5-2k ?

e5200 equivalent amd proc is 7750/7850 b.e @ stock . But A oced 3Ghz e5200 can easily beat a Oced 7750 B.e with 3.1Ghz clock speed.

8) Thx I will stick with E5200 (remember this is my htpc build the 7 number config is the gaming config..
The motherboard for this is perticularly hard to find
What i was looking for is GA-EG31M-S2 rev 2.1 but i was unable to find any EG31 brand
Instead of that shopkeepers suggestest me to GA-G31M-ES2L which i purchased and using right now with 3.0ghz prescott but it is general home pc...
Now when i Used the EASY ENERGY SAVER it is USELESS i can say.... after using it for 4-6 hrs it doesn't even reach 1/2 watts of power saving LOL
thinking that i thought may be EG31 will be any good but didn't found one where can i get the DYNAMIC energy saver vs EASY energy saver comparision...
can u suggest a good mobo for this in the budget range of 2-3.2k

save you a total of 5.4 cents of electricity during the year.

proof of energy saver ... which is simply stupidity to use with E5200 for energy saving

9)I want to purchase a UPS but i am not getting a good UPS. I tried to buy and APC 500VA but rejected it because it doesn't consist a INTERFACE to PC which is present in the apc 6xxVA range.
can you suggest me a good UPS ? with pc Interface....


thx for the reading and replies

Which components from your current pc are you going to reuse in new one?

 

[vviswanathan100]

Can anyone let me know if ASUS M479T Deluxe is a suitable motherboard for AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE ? Also do I require a separate graphics card for the motherboard and what will be the recommendations for this mobo/processore combination? Processor costs approximately 8000 Rs and Mobo costs Rs 11000 . Is this a good buy ?

 

[soul_eater]

@desiibond
I'am only changing the CPU(in that too Hard Drive remains the same)
Rest all, monitor,keyboard,etc..remains same.

Just a little bother, the above Gigabyte motherboard is not available on theitwares(from where I'am going to purchase) :/, can I go with the same company's 780G one?Is there any significant difference?

 

[~~Big Boss~~]

I want to buy a TV Tuner card to use with my laptop...

PCMCIA card or USB, should have recording TV programs options...
and most imp im looking for one within 2K....

wus somebody help me as m confused with all the reviews on the net!...

 

[desiibond]

@BigBoss, check Winfast Palmtop TV tuner card. very small and damn good.

 

[topgear]

@ blackbird - Jus OC your Proc to 2.7Ghz & you will not need any after market coolers

Tirupati Enterprise is the Distributor of Palit brand in here. They also distribute MSI, EVGA, Corsair etc. So service should not be a prob.

I suggested palit coz it's the cheapest of all with HDMi port ( it will come handy in the future ). So it's better to have that gfx card.

You can use that thermal paste for 6-7 time.

BTW, I'm from Kolkata

Don't know much about the availability of NB coolers in here. Try sites like newegg.

You can try Microtek UPS.

For 1-1.5K you can get Zebronics 500W platinum PSU ( 1.5K ) or colorsit 450W psu 1K

Get any G31 mobo from Asus, Gigabyte or MSI

 

[~~Big Boss~~]

desibond bro, itz ovr 4K...
my budget till 2K

 

[topgear]

Then check Techcom external Tv Tuner cards. They should be available in the range of Rs. 1-2K

 

[keshav1704]

Budget around 30-35k

i am interested in buying a new PC and budget is around 35k. i would prefer AMD
i am an occasional gamer so a graphics card upto 7k is an option..i wont be buying speakers and monitor should be atleast 20inches...plzz help....it would be great if i could get a configuration under 35k

780G chipset is not goos for 940 . 790GX is better

U can choose asus boards

M4A78-E
M4A78T-E (DDR3)

Biostar boards

Biostar TA790GX 128M

Biostar TA790GX A3 - DDR3
