AVOID THIS THING - HIGH END PROCESSOR + CHEAPEST POSSIBLE MOBO
the x4 is 125w cpu. atleast a good quality 4+1 phase mobo is required.

AMD Athlon II x4 635 @ 4.5k
Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H @ 4.5k
Corsair XMS3 TW3X4G1333C9A 2*2GB @ 2.8k
Sapphire Radeon HD6850 @ 11.2k
Seagate 500GB 7200.12 @ 1.7k
LG 22X SATA DVD @ 0.9k
FSP saga II 500W @ 2.1k
CM Elite 310 @ 1.5k
Benq G2220HD @ 7.3k

Total - 36.5k

one more question.. would x2 555 dual core proccesor(3.1 ghz + *7mb cache*) would be a better option as compared to 635 ??

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

you are welcome buddy.

 

[papashango_cs]

you are welcome buddy.

one more question.. would x2 555 dual core proccesor(3.1 ghz + *7mb cache*) would be a better option as compared to 635 ??

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

if you use no multithreaded apps and sole purpose is gaming look at Intel Core i3 540 @ 5k + MSI H55M E33 @ 4.5k.. 635 is just the most vfm all rounder.

 

[papashango_cs]

my main purpose is gaming
please help me btw these two shortlisted configs
i3 540 | msi h55m | OR amd x4 635 | GA-880GM-UD |
the grafix card and ram in both the configs is same (msi hd6850 and corsair 2*2 1333 ddr3)

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

your choice. also other components are same.

 

[papashango_cs]

everything else is the samee
if you had to go for one of these just for gaming..
then ?
and i3 540 @ 3.06 ghz + 4mb cache BUT dual core
x4 635 @ 2.93 ghz + 2mb cache quad core
now.. ?
mainly for gaming !!
and i didnt find MSI h55 E33 , but found MSI h55 p33 . will this be good ? price 4.4k !

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

my choice 635. though you will loose out just 7-8 fps in games but it will be more futureproof.

MSI H55M-E33

 

[papashango_cs]

sorry for bugging you so much ! but i just cudnt control myself
but im stillll a bit confused btwn 3 cpu'z
i have to use this CPU for a bit over 3 years.
so keeping this in mind , i dont want to loose even 5 fps
here are the 3 choices
amd phenom x2 555 (dual core @3.2ghz 7mb cache)
intel i3 540 (dual core @3.06 ghz 4 mb cache)
amx 635(quad core @2.93 ghz 2 mb cache)

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

for 3 years look no other than 635. as apps become more multicore optimised 4 cores will benefit.

 

[Ishu Gupta]

X2 555 > X4 635 > i3 540.

In that order.

BTW I don't use FB as often as I come here. And its a little personal.

 

[Ishu Gupta]

Good point Jas. but 5 posts LOL .

 

[papashango_cs]

ok !
Now im going for the x4 635 !
thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge sir !
P.s - the place where i keep my monitor is a bit small for 22 inch , i might go for the samsung b2030 , the whole config will cost me around 34 k !
i can the remaining 3 k in the cabinet , ram + led fans

i'l revert back as soon as i get my rig !
thankyou again
- regards
karan

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

[papashango_cs]

oo ** !! lol i missed the hdd and dvd rom !!
makes 34 + 3 = 37k
balanced !

Hey guys, please suggest a good Typing keyboard at about 500-1000/-, tvs is just a bit too pricey, I can max shell out 1k. USB is preferred.

 

[papashango_cs]

Go for simple logitech boards !
the new ones are sleek.
i got mine for just rs325 a month back!

MS is also an option.I feel Logitech KB makes a lotta noise when keys are pressed whereas MS is more quieter than the former(KBs of same price range), & again this is a personal opinion.
