Basic Guide Purchase a New System

You are good to go.

Nice choice of monitor. Enjoy the FULL HD. Good you are being patient and getting a GPU later on, but at your resolution the onboard GPU will not be able to do much -- if gaming.

haha yea i know but i guess its just a matter of another 2 months...so atleast the onboard will manage gaming at 800 resolution...and 1080p videos.

one more question...i might give overclocking a try in feb when i buy the gfx card...the after market cooler will fit in the mobo/case properly right?

Phenom II X4 955 is powerful enough that it doens't need any overclocking at this point of time

stick to the factory settings for now. Do remember that Phenom II X4 955BE is at 125W TDP and these AM3 boards has a threshold limit of 140W TDP.

What is your usage of the PC going to be like? Apps, games, what? Not everyone needs to buy a Core i5/i7, when a cheaper, very upgradeable AMD setup might do their job just fine. What is your current system, please include FULL SPECS including SMPS.

My Current System:

AMD Athlon 3200+
Zebronics Shivaji Cabinet
400 watts zebronics smps
MSI K8NGM2 Mobo
512MB DDR 333MHz
160GB Seagate(IDE)
Samsung SyncMaster 740N LCD

I will basically need to use Java IDE's(Netbeans and Intellij) which are cpu intensive most of the times, and photoshop ocassionally.

Also, My current system is having a strange problem. It boots up fine but wont' show display. If I restart two or three times again then the display turns up. This is only happening on cold start. (does cmos battery has got anything to do with this ).

Samsung 2233SW is OLD one - choose Benq G2420 or Samsung P2250

Samsung P2250 is 9.6+tax that should be gr8

Then as for DX11, HD5770 is not a VLM card - get good DX10 card like GTX 260 / HD4890 .

Could you kindly suggest the prices of all the stuff like CPU,Ram,HDD,Graphics,Monitor,M/B PSU etc. with prices under 40K?
This is what my assembler is suggesting-
1 Processor AMD Phenom II x 550 DE 11,500/-
2 Mainboard Gigabyte MA785GM ABOVE PRICE COMBO
3 RAM 2 GB Transcend / Simmtronics 2250/-
4 HDD 500 GB WD Cavier (Blue) 2500/-
5 PCI EXPRESS GRAPHICS ATI Radeon 1GB 4850 HD 9500/-
6 MONITOR 22” LCD Samsung 2233 SW 9900/-
7 CABINET CIRCLE Fancy with 400W SMPS 1900/-
8 OPTICAL DRIVE SONY DVD-RW 1250/-
9 KEYBOARD + MOUSE Iboll Cherry / Opti Elite (Multimedia) 750/-
--------------
TOTAL 39550/-
could anyone plz post relative prices in Pune coz i think the assembler is WAY overcharging!

 

[hell_storm2006]

Who gave you these prices? And what the hell are you getting?
Is your dealer a robber? Where did you get this quote? I am from Pune!

1 Processor AMD Phenom II x 550 DE 11,500/-
2 Mainboard Gigabyte MA785GM ABOVE PRICE COMBO

550BE and Biostar TA790GXBE would be something around 9k. Gigabyte boards are expensive and offer the same performance as Biostar!

3 RAM 2 GB Transcend / Simmtronics 2250/-

Always Corsair, OCZ or GSkill.

5 PCI EXPRESS GRAPHICS ATI Radeon 1GB 4850 HD 9500/-

This is hilarious! 4850 is now 7k.

7 CABINET CIRCLE Fancy with 400W SMPS 1900/-

Absolutely a big No to this option. Zebronics Bijli at 1.1k or Cooler Master Elite 335 at 2.2k and Gigabyte Superb 460W at 2.2k. The one you are getting would definitely fry your PC!

9 KEYBOARD + MOUSE Iboll Cherry / Opti Elite (Multimedia) 750/-

Would like you stick to Logitech Multimedia Combo on this one.

Do your research before entering the shop. Its good that you asked here. And dont listen to your dealer. Happy shopping!

Go for a DDR3 based computer man, DDR2 is BS now. Here:
AMD Athlon II X4 620 @ 5.5k
Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H @ 5.5k
Kingston 2x2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 4.6k
500GB WD Blue @ 2.5k
Palit GTS250 512MB @ 7.1k or 4850 1GB @ 7k.
Samsung 2233SW @ 8.5-9k.
CM Elite 335 @ 2.1k
Gigabyte 460W Superb @ 2.2k OR CM Real Power Pro 460W @ 3.5k
LG/Samsung DVD-RW @ 1k
Logitech Keyboard+mouse combo @ 0.7k
Total = ~ 41k.

I strongly recommend that you get the CM Real Power Pro (NOT CM Extreme, which is bad) and if you can't up your budget to that much, then only get Gigabyte 460W. Also have a look at Tagan TG-500-U37 @ 3.2k.

 

[Krow]

Double Post... Sorry.

 

[spartan_117]

A Big Thanks to both Hell_Storm2006 and Krow!!!!!!!!
@Hell_Storm: Could you tell me an assembler who would provide good Value near my place (I live in Nigdi)
@Krow:I know the GeForce 250 has gr8 performance but i want a future-proof rig as there's no way in hell i'm going to upgrade my comp for atleast 2-3 years so i was thinking DX11 and a HD 5770 does it make sense? Coz i'm not sure if a DX10 card would run DX11 games in the future and i read somewhere that the 5770 is a good buy..
Thanks for saving my ass from that bloddy assembler!!
By the way, can a gts250/HD 4850/5770 run crysis @1920x1080 with High quality?
