now, there is a little increase in the budgt.. its 40k now
i want a better processor n mobo.. i can sacrife the monitor size, 20inch is enough for me.. that will cost me round 6.4k
please suggest a better processor , sole purpose is gaming.
do comment on - AMD phenom x4 945 for 6.8 k
and tell me wich mobo is needed for this cpu..
this is the new config

i am left with only 5 k for the MOtherboard.. please tell me if any good mobo would fall in this range wich can support this CPU (phenom x4 945)
also, tell me is it worth increasing the cpu will decreasing the MOnitr size frm 22 to 20 !
main purpose is GAMING !

read this about psu cs boy.

Don't go for Zebronics PSU.Its a sincere request!!Get a Corsair VX450 or Saga II 500W.
The CPU(X4 635) is good enough for gaming.If you are looking for something better then go for Phenom II X4 955/965.They are still beasts in gaming!!
And if possible try & get a CM cabinet.

AMD Phenom II x6 1055T 95W @ 8.2k
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
NXZT Gamma @ 2k
Benq G2220HD @ 7.3k

TOTAL 39.7k

1055T is a six core CPU, faster than 945 and more future proof.
The motherboard is future proof too.
HD6850 can play any game on high for atleast 2-3 years. Then you can add another HD6850.
And you still have your 22".

 

[anantkhilnani]

ishu i was writing this only.
does Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H cost 4.5 k?.
it should be Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4.5k
shango buy 1333 mhz ram.1600 is not gonna boost fps

 

[Ishu Gupta]

I think it just had a price cut. 880GM is now 4.2k and 880GMA is now 4.5k.

thanks man ! its a wonderfull config !!! OMG
but but , 1 doubt
*www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/processors/phenom-ii/Pages/phenom-ii-model-number-comparison.aspx
it says 1055 is 125w cpu
then i wud need a better mobo
no $$ for that
i googled the 95w one , found it .. but , i didnt find it anywhere on the INDIan online stores..
im not sure if they would have this 95w cpu in nehru place :S

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

dont worry. Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H is a good 4+1 phase and will run 1055t 125w very easily. its a quality mobo.

 

[tkin]

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

Thanks.

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.

Thanks, but MS kbs are PS2 right?? I saw some ms kb combos(no kb only) and the kb was ps2, I need usb.

 

[papashango_cs]

Thanks to all for the input !
i have purchased the config,sorry to say, but the prices in the market were a little high..
as i was going out of budgt,i had to go for 945 instead of 1055
amx phenom x4 945 + GA-880GMA-UD2H = 12400
ram ddr3 kingston = 2800
W.D 500gb - 1900
cab + psu (zebronics cab + zebrncs 500w) - 3500
samsung b2230 - 8100
lg 24x dvd - 900
MSI hd6850 - 12400
total 42000 !
i was going for samsung 2030 to keep the things in budgt , but at the last moment ,dad went crazy and gotthe samsung 2230 !
one question now, my cab has 1+2 fans for cooling , 1 X 12 cm , 2 X 8 cm (on the side)
i have a computer table with a special cabinet typ space for the CPU, i had to place the cabinet inside that space.. it is open from 2 sides, the front and one side(facing the 2 X 8 cm) , rest top bottom rear and the other side is closed. WILL IT SUFFER ANY HEATING PROBLEM ??

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

congrats. no heating prob. but that psu is bad!

 

[papashango_cs]

thanks
but no problm ! will change it if something goes wrong !
i dont need overclocking n all..

 

[ssb1551]

^^When there is a problem with PSU just pray to GOD it doesn't take down any other component otherwise you gotta buy not only a new PSU but also other components!!
Thats why getting a good PSU is very important!!

 

[pulkitpopli2004]

is this true that many P55 mobo do not support 1600MHz instead they support 1600Mhz(OC)?
if this is right then while purchasing rig this should be considered i suppose..

 

[asingh]

^^
If the RAM is compatible it is not much of a task making the changes. Plus it is not major OC.

 

[pulkitpopli2004]

and specs' of mobo has RAM - 1333MHz/1600*MHz written?
and ASUS mobo has specified - 1333MHz/1600MHz

ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
MSI Global ? Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more

 

[asingh]

^^
So. What you trying to say here..?

 

[pulkitpopli2004]

i am saying if i have the memory module of 1600Mhz then whether i should prefer motherboard which support 1333MHz/1600MHz or 1333MHz/1600*MHz one?

and those 2 links are the example showing such difference in RAM support..
