hey guys.. need some suggestions.. i have to upgrade my pc and hav allocated a budget of 15000 bucks for it. I need to buy following parts:
1] mobo (should support pentium D processor as am not changing d cpu)
2] GFX card (gud enough to play cod4:modern warfare 2 at decent resolution)
3] RAM (enough to support games lyk cod4 and other heavy applications)
4] HDD (500gb wud be enough for me i suppose)
My primary concern is that i shud be as future proof as possible, so want to go for ddr3 ram and GFX card wid atleast 1gb of DDR3 memory, but dont know if this will fit in my budget. So please help me out and suggest something, also if u cud suggest a gud shop in nehru place,delhi, it wud really help me a lot.
Thanks in advance to all those who reply.
You need a LGA775 pin based mobo for your dual core processor and these boards supports only C2D and Core2Quad processors, not the latest Core i7/i5 processors. So you need a DDR3 based system so that you can at lease upgrade the ram in future.
Here goes your suggestion:
Motherboard: GA-G41MT-ES2L 2 DDR3 1333 MHz, 1 X16, 1 X1, 2 PCI slot @ 3.3k (Deltapage.com)
RAM: Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600MHz C9 Titanium @ 5.8k
MSI HD5770 1GB GDDR5 @ 9.6k if you badly want Dx11 or XFX HD4870 1GB GDDR5 @ 9.4k
But let us know what PSU u r having. If you have local PSU, then you may need to go for a good PSU like Gigabyte 80 Plus Active PFC 460W @ 2.2k
hey cilus thanks for revrting so quick, and sorry for replying late thanks to the mtnl internet connection...
Anyways the config luks gud but it goes way over my budget as i hav to buy a HDD as well...
Also I dont think that Dx11 will become mainstream anytym soon, so I could settle for a cheaper GFX card, someone in the graphics card thread suggested me to buy a 9600GT sometime back, so what do you say, wont it be enough for casual gaming and occasional-to-somewhat-regular video editing and composing work.
As for the PSU its the stock PSU which came with my IBALL cabinet, so will change that too as you hav said..
Please suggest another config considering the above points..
One more thing could anybody suggest me a good shop in nehru place, delhi where i could purchse these hardware, i generally buy from cost 2 cost , but off late i dont find the latest hardware or some brands at their shop, so please suggest a shop where i can get these peripherals u ppl mention, at the price u mention..
Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for the pain...
