am buying this UPS, however it has different type of socket for connection- not desi style, do we have to buy the cables separately or do they provide any- as nothing mentioned of cables as included .

Those are weird. I tried to find converters could not. The specifications do not show any adapter too.

Athlon II X3 425 2.7GHz @ 3.7k
ECS A785GM-M5 @ 3.4k
A-data 2GB DDR2 800MHz @ 1.8k
Zebronics Bijli @ 1.5K ---> comes with 400W PSU. enough for u.

total: 10.4k. should cost less as DDR2 mobo phasing out. as you won't game, sideport memory won't be of much use. stick with a basic 785G board. if you don't get the board i recommended get some other board from Biostar or so.

yes can go upto 15k..no problem.

Athlon II X3 435 2.9GHz @ 4k
Biostar TA785G A3 @ 3.7k
Transcend 2GB DDR3 1333MHz C9 @ 2.9k
Zebronics Bijli @ 1.5K

Total: 12.1k. with rest of money get any HD4650 512Mb card. though you won't require that much of graphics power. if u skip graphics card get 4Gb ram.

can u suggest me another rband mob like gigabyte or asus for the same processor

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

can i update the config with the same mob in future..

also do i need separate graphic card for the same purpose i quoted..

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

i think you don't need a graphic card for your purpose. you will be well covered with onboard graphics. for futureproofing you need to select a mobo supporting 140W proccy atleast. you should focus on a multicore proccy.

Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz @ 5.1k
Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.3k
Corsair TR3X1G-1333 XMS3 C9 3GB Kit @ 4.5k
Zebronics Bijli with psu @ 1.5K

total - 15.4k

yup. but 3 X 1Gb DDR3? its not double ch anymore. better 1X 2Gb stick. later add 1 more stick. or 2X 1Gb stick. moreover corsair memory will cost more. 4.5k looks too cheap.

thanks u very much for the reply.

can u suggest me another rband mob like gigabyte or asus for the same processor

can i update the config with the same mob in future..

also do i need separate graphic card for the same purpose i quoted..

gigabyte & Asus will cost lot more & will provide u with features u may never touch.

looks goood

for OP, i don't think he needs any graphics card. he won't game also 785G don't SUCK. so, save money. & get better board maybe or even better proccy.

video editing benefits from a good multicore processor. IMO he doesn't need a graphic card for this purpose. i have already suggested this to him -

Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz @ 5.1k
Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.3k
transcend 2 GB DDR3 1333mhz @ 2.7k (later he can add 1 more 2 gb for dual channel)
Zebronics Bijli with psu @ 1.5K

thanks u everybody for your replies..

i would like to go for a asus or gigabyte mob even it exceeds my budget.
i need a mob which should be a new one and can be updated later for a higher config..

also tell me whether this processor will address my future needs i.e if i add on graphics card ..or should i go for another processor..
