Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[Piyush]

gonna buy new rig within a week and still confused
which one is better:880g or 790gx in terms of features and performance

 

[pulsar_swift]

both have similar levels of performance. 790 is for VFM. That's what i read in few posts here on the forum.

 

[Piyush]

i was thinking that too
if i get 790gx ,then can i add usb 3 feature in future by any means?
tell me if yes

using add-on Sata cards. that fit into any slot. PCIe X 16. PCI. PciX1.

better to have a USB 3 mobo than addon cards - bcoz the addon cards ( read USB 3.0 ) won't be cheap - IMO.

 

[pulsar_swift]

Arrey, I dont get the hype about USB3. You will get better data transfer rates for USB flash drives and external hard drives. Is that all ? Or any other advantages ?

^^ here's a good link to know about it

*blogs.techrepublic.com.com/10things/?p=1265

you wil be able to download tech specs in pdf

so is there any mobo of 880g chipset under 5k
i'll be pairing it with x4 630
i can extend my mobo budget to 6k max
it should be ATX
ECS not allowed

ATX? why man. why are you after ATX? if you get a midtower cabby, 16-17" high, you'll face problems with ATX motherboard. & as you planning get HD5770 (read earlier posts) you may consider 870X based motherboard.

 

[Piyush]

u mean mid tower wont be able to accommodate an ATX mobo?
i was considering elite 335(actually i was going for m59 happily until i realized that meri table mein vo aayegi hi nai )
is 870 good?

 

[pulsar_swift]

boys invest in a good cabinet. Its a long term investment. I just read a review CM 690 Advanced. What a cabinet it is

it'll. but it'll be close. i mean to say, the boards lower end will touch the bottom of the cabinet.

and why won't M59 fit?

870X = 880G - the IGP. as a result it cost less. so mATX 880G = ATX 870X (price comparison)

 

[Piyush]

it'll. but it'll be close. i mean to say, the boards lower end will touch the bottom of the cabinet.

then suggest a cabby under 2.5k

and why won't M59 fit?

the place where i am recently putting my cabby has 45cm space of height

870X = 880G - the IGP. as a result it cost less. so mATX 880G = ATX 870X (price comparison)

couldn't get it

What 45cm ?

 

[coderunknown]

highest cabby (midtower) below 2.5k is no doubt Reaper. 19" high.

the place where i am recently putting my cabby has 45cm space of height

under the table isn't? well than reaper out of question too. its 48cm high.

couldn't get it

which part? i guess the last part. i mean to say as 870X is basically a 880G without the IGP, so its cheaper. so for price of a 880G mATX board you can get a 870X full ATX.

man, i was referring to piyush's post. Now i understand, he wants to buy a cabinet which fits in to this existing place. Weird.
