The Dell U2311h Ultrasharp wpuld be the better choice

 

[nilgtx260]

^^ its a superb monitor

 

[MegaMind]

Does Dell U2311h benefits in gaming than Samsung P2350..?

 

[Skud]

More or less on an equal footing.

 

[MegaMind]

As Dell U2311h has 8ms response time, wont there be ghosting at some instances??

 

[Skud]

Its not actually. Seen quite a lot of reviews and user experiences. Most of them says its absolutely good for gaming. No problems on that front.

Budget- 25000
Purpose- Gaming( Not Full HD gaming but yes i would like to play my games at 1600x900 resolution with high settings)
Components to buy-
1)-Processor
2)-Motherboard
3)-PSU
4)-RAM
5)-GPU

Please suggest the best possible config. BTW i reside in allahabad and only PSUs available here are either IBalls(which are pretty useless as far as i know) or coolermaster. For GPU, only option available here is XFX as the only distributor here is rashi peripherals.

Hello friends, I am planning to upgrade my old pc.

My use will be
General
HD Movies on big screen lcd, with media centre with live recording and my current full hd 24d" monitor
Occasional Gaming
And Must is HD video editing from my new sony HD Handycam, full hd 1080 60p video 24Mbps

I have read many thing on net and decided following 2 configuration


1.

Intel i5 2400 9300/_
Intel DH67Bl 5200/_


^2.

AMD phenom II X6
1090T 8600/_
Asus M4a88t M/USB3 5800/_



Along with any off the above


Kingston RAM 2X4 GB 2500/_
Ddr3 1333

Seagate 2tb 3950/_

Sony dvd writer 970/_

Logitech mouse kb

Routine LARGE CABINET from local dealer 800/_

Suggest a power supply for this rig, just enough for this and cheap, will upgrade later if graphics card added in future .

So friends,
Help me decide from above two rigs.
NO OVERCLOCKING,
NO HIGH END GAMING NOW

HDMI are in both
Usb 3 in both

Intel"s had overall good performance. Good in gaming also


AMD had six cores, better in video editing, value for money.
Its motherboard had good inbuilt graphics, enough for me now, will upgrade later.
Also the graphics can be like hybrid crossfire in future.
Also I am satisfied with my current amd athlone 2 x2 240, with asus mobo, superb vfm.

Please also tell me other benefits of intel. And suggest me what id future proof, and fits in this budget range.

Thanks,
Dr. Jimit

Please start a new thread. thanks.

 

[dr_jimit]

Please give some more opinions in detail, this is an important decision for me,


Thanks

 

[prvprv]

please advise a mobo, proccy, ram for home usage (mostly for surfing) budget <5k

 

[Cilus]

prvprv and dr_jimit, this thread is just for a guide to all, not for specific suggestion actually.

So you guys create a separate thread for each of you, stating your exact requirement, budget, type of use so that all forum members can see and suggest you the best possible config.

 

[desai_amogh]

Hi guys,

my friend needs a powerful rig. He is not much into gaming. but he just wants to own one. This is the config he gave me and asked me to check if everything is good.

Processor: AMD Phenom X4 955 BE - can spend at the max 6K
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 or X-UD3 MAX - can spend at the max 10K
RAM: Corsair 1600 MHz Dual Channel (2 x 2) 4 GB - can spend at the max 2.5K
Power Supply : Seasonic S12II-520 520 Watts - can spend at the max 4K
Graphics Card: MSI R6850 Cyclone 1GD5 Power Edition/OC - can spend at the max 10K
CPu Cooler: Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus


Kindly suggest any changes which could be worth and advise if anything is wrong in this config.

(I had posted this in this moths buying guide thread... but no body responded so i think its a wrong thread for this question. So posting it here)

 

[Skud]

For SMPS, Corsair GS600 may also be considered. Rest are OK.

 

[virajkin]

@desai_amogh : For motherboard he can opt for MSI 990FXA-GD65 @Rs. 9500
as MSI has good service in Goa and Gigabyte has stopped its service in Goa.
Also for RAM's check Primeabgb.com, they have good offers on Performance RAM's from Gskill and Corsair

 

[thetechfreak]

@desai_amogh
Since your friend can spend 4k for the power supply and also as he is going for quite a powerfull card go for the Corsair Gs600 which costs Rs.4000 in most places.

Please give some more opinions in
detail, this is an important decision for
me, Thanks

Well its better if you make a new thread.
Anyways I suggest you to go for Intel based rig. The sandy bridge processors are lot better than last generation AMD counter parts.
For a power supply go for a Fsp Saga II 500w@rs.2000
incase you for a powerfull graphics card them you will have to buy a better power supply.
