2nd gen of 32nm processor, it was expected. also its the 2600K processor. stock is 3.4Ghz. but 1 thing to note is, "K" series processor doesn't used to come with any stock HSF as the multiplier is unlocked. even if they do it was some sort of high performance HSF-Fan kit. but 4.9Ghz is impressive never the less.

the motherboard will but you may need a low profile card. GTX460 may cause problem to shut the side door.

Those are really cheap pricing and the psus also looks very cool as well :

GS600 (600W) - Rs. 4,700
GS700 (700W) - Rs. 5,800
GS800 (800W) - Rs. 6,700

the street price may be a little bit lesser than that though.

BTW, looks like Corsair GS series is here to compete with CM GX series PSU.

Bro,

how do these fare compared to VX series ?

Bro,

how do these fare compared to VX series ?

I think they are using a bit lower grade components in making them compared to VX series though they are good enough.

that's why GS series has 3 years warranty and VX series has 5 years warranty.

if you compare GS600 with VX550W here's what you get :

GS600 has 140mm fan and VX550W has 120mm.

GS600 can deliver 48A on it's +12V and VX550W can deliver 41A.

GS600 has 2x 6+2 pin pci-e connector but VX550W has one 6 pin and another 6+2 pin connector.

GS600 is not Sli certified ( strange ! ) but VX550W is SLi certified.

GS600 was tested at 40c temp but VX550W was tested at 50c temp.

in price performance ratio corsair's GS series can be compared with CM GX series though CM has 5 years warranty on their GX series.

How about better cpu

AMD phenom II X4 955 - 7800/-
Gigabyte 880-ud3h / MSI 880GMA-E45 - 5600/-

Proccy + mobo = 13500/-

HD 5770 its better with new drivers
Corsair VX450

Rest is your choice !

Dont spend on monitors , i heard the monitors price is slashing due to 27 inch and 30 inch should be below 20K next month , so 22 inch HD monitors will be priced @ 5k to 6K

Hi friends,
While i was converting my video files the process is going at the speed of 20fps on my core2duo 2.53 GHz with 1+1 GB ddr2 ram(800Mhz).
So what will be the good solution to improve the speed?

1) adding a 9500GT(512MB) graphics card (budget constraints) around 3k

2) upgrading my config to core i3 of equal speed with DDR 3 ram?
please suggest a good solution :smile:

By adding a Nvidia graphics card, you can use any CUDA enabled converter to covert your videos through Graphics card. It will increase your speed dramatically.
At 3k, 9500GT, just for video converting is a good option. But remember, not all the video converter can take the advantage of GPU, only cuda ENABLED ones can. You can use Badaboom Video converter (Paid version), Imtoo Video Converter (paid), Cyberlink MediaShow Espresso (paid) and last but the best MediaCoder (Open source). All the other softwares are little straight forward and won't give you may customization options, while MediaCoder will provide you full set of controls for converting Video/Audio

^^ that's true - by adding only 3k more he can get a 9800GT or by adding 4.5k a GTS 450 1GB edition from zotac and it would increase the encoding performance significantly ( more than a core i3 with DDR3 can even imagine ) but the only hitch is he will require a good psu if he already don't have one.

@TopgearI want to say you explain things very well

I understood buddy but I've said that about 'thanks' ( no need to thank me always ) though praises always feels good :p
