Basic Guide Purchase a New System

yep, the 5670 is for 2 diff systems and not in crossfire 
,they were sapphire, the 512MB version was Rs4900,so 1GB was fine for the price, the fsp was Rs1500,all prices are inclusive of tax.
Did not know about the backlight bleeding issues,I have been using a viewsonic monitor for over 4 years now, I love, not a single issue yet, will keep it in mind though
Btw guys, how are Biostar mobos? (AMD ones), how is their quality and service?

The problem was not only the backlight bleeding issue with viewsonic minitor - the main prob was they were not willing to honor the warranty.
Abacus peripherals provides support for Biostar mobos.
BTW, the price you paid for 1GB hd5670 is just great - most of the shops are still selling it for 6.3-6.5k.

I am planning to buy a laptop that I would mainly be using for the following:
1. Browsing
2. Programming
3. Watching movies
4. Photoshopping (Adobe CS5 preferably)
5. Will use some simple animation/illustration softwares (not frequently)
Which of the following specifications would u suggest?
1. Compaq Presario CQ62-111TX
Intel Core i3 330M
3 GB RAM DDR3
320 GB HDD (7400 rpm)
512 ATI graphics card
Windows 7 premium 32 bit
Price: Rs. 38,000/-
2. Dell Inspiron 15R
Intel core i3 370M
4GB RAM
500 GB HDD (5400 rpm)
Intel HD Graphics (Any idea how much the video memory is, in this case?)
Windows 7 Premium 64 bit
Price: Rs. 41,000/-
3. Dell Inspiron 15R (Not sure if this specification is still around)
Intel core i3 3570M
4GB RAM
320 GB HDD (5400 rpm)
512 ATI graphics card
Windows 7 premium 64 bit
Price: Rs. 40,000/- (Dell has removed this configuration from their web site this week. Not sure if it is available anymore)
I am unsure whether I would really require the dedicated graphics card. If it is not necessary then I can opt for a higher Memory/HDD configuration.
Also, which brand would give me a better value for money?
Some other queries:How good is an ATI Radeon HD 5430 Graphics with 512mb vram?
Will this support Adobe Photoshop CS5 and other simple animation softwares?

^^ better wait a month or 2 & let Nvidia 4 series card be available im market. than get one. may cost a bit more than the ATI based lappy but will certainly be worth the extra cost if you use animation apps.
if going to buy now, get i3 + 3-4Gb DDR3 + HD5650 based lappy. this will outperform most lappies. can also look for Phenom II X4 + HD5650 based lappy, though availability maybe an issue. Toshiba selling a few of them. Acer too maybe. but you'll get good performance from them but at the expense of bad battery life.

Yep,I think so.....
Guys , some help please.
Need a Intel i3/Core2Duo cpu + mobo (GA-P55M-USB3 or G41M-COMBO) + GPU (HD4670 or 5570 or GT240) for around 13-15K.
Problems include:
1. Power supply limited to 400W.
2. Should be able to run Civ V/Diablo III/Shogun II TW
3. Preferably current games at medium.
Any suggestions on a build config?
Any ideas on how many SATA drives I can connect (have a 320Gb + planned 1 TB + old 500 GB PATA). Will the power supply be enough?

Need help building a basic PC for a frnd.....
USAGE:
-websurfing
-ADOBE softwares (photoshop,flash,aftereffects...etc)
-Movie Watching/songs
PRICE:
-the lesser the better,but if any component priced higher is gonna make a significant diff to the config,then wont mind spending
Im considering an AMD based system:
PROC: I feel an AMD Athlon II X3 445 will be bttr than a X2....since the 3rd core may make a diff wid the editing softwares i mentioned above
MOBO: Im confused here....shud I go for a AM3 or AM2+ mobo?? will DDR3 make a huge diff in basic use? PLEASE ADVICE
RAM: DDR2 or DDR3??
GRAPHICS CARD: here again will an onboard soln be enuf? especially for ADOBE softwares since they support hardware acceleration....I was thinking a 9400GT or a ati4830?
The rest of the config....I'll consider during the purchase itself...450W PSU shud be enuf rite?
Please reply soon and thnks!!
