Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[go4saket]

huh ?? 17" ?? u must be jocking right ?? come on with that killer config at-least get your self Acer 22'' AL2216W which is I hear Rs. 13.5k

It is actually available for 13.5K but as per the reviews I checked, it doesnt seem to be a very good product.

As such I will be checking it tomorrow and will post what did I feel about it...

I myself am interested in buying a 22" TFT, but am still not able to decide which one should I go for. My budget is 15K. Any recommendations?

For 15K you should get a Dell, through a GO if not directly, and possibly with a 5 year warranty.

Hi friends sorry for bothering you again and again but I am totally confused!!!
If I buy the Q6600 I will be a lot future proof but if I buy E6750 or AMD 6000+ I will be able to get a good graphics card so that I will be able to play games too! So please tell me which one should I go for. The rest of the system will be 2GB 667Mhz RAM,160GB HDD,Cabinet etc. And I will be getting graphics card as soon as they release the 9x series or an ATI 3850/3870. So please advice me in that too. I am not getting a graphics card nhow because DX 10.1 is going to release hence if I buy 8800 GT now it will be outdated! Thanks in advance! P.S.I will be playing games at 1024X768 resolution.

Buy a E6750, its better than 6000+ and doesn't matter of u are an overclocker, it will work like a charm!

Talking about future, U can overclock it later to upto 3.4 GHz easily!
rest of ur config. is good.
Now days CPU hardly matter while playing games.
If u have a X6800 and an E6600, they both don't make a big difference while playing games.
E6750 is really worth than any other processor!

thanks keith_j_snyder2. but what do u think about graphics card?

 

[dOm1naTOr]

@upendra_gp
u can go for 3870 for some 240$ from newegg. Its really cheap for that price...some 8900/- Rs. Add 20$ as tax nd shipping. Its better idea to get it from nybody from US or UK.

 

[upendra_gp]

its on theitwares for 16200!!!! *************** why is it SO MUCH INSANELY PRiceD In India???? its about 2x!
Sorry to be off-topic here! But please can anybody tell me if The Orange Box really runs slow with framerate probs on The PlayStation 3?

 

[SunnyChahal]

which wud be a gud UPS under 5 k for my pc ??i want 20 mins backup.
please sugg.

Lets Go Low

Target PC within Rs. 15000/- + TAX

Buy a PC which makes sense in a budget as low as possible... This would be a PC for basic Office job, running basic office apps for accounting printing and stuff like that !!!! Will be running Windows XP with ease !!!

AMD X2 3600+ with MSI K9AGM2 (AMD 690V) @ Rs. 5000/- + TAX
1 GB DDR-II 667 MHz @ Rs. 1200/- + TAX
80 GB SATA @ Rs. 1600/- + TAX
DVD RW Lite-on @ Rs. 1300/- + TAX
Cabby + Default SMPS ( 400 /450 watts) @ Rs. 1200/- + TAX
15" CRT LG / SAMSUNG@ Rs. 3700/- + TAX
Local Keyboard Mouse @ Rs. 500/- + TAX
UPS Local Brand 1400/- + TAX


TAX Rs. 636/- (4% VAT) Kolkata
Total Rs. 16536/-

Target was Rs. 15k but cant go lower with todays Apps... it will be able to Run Vista with ease ... if you are thinking for more use, then doo think of adding a GB RAM and may be a bigger HDD like 160 GB and off course a Rs. 1000/- 2.1 Creative skps system

A frnd of mine needs to buy a system...now this wud be absolutely no games. hes into research and stuff..(doing Ph. D)...so hes gotta do lotta searching on the internet....and wud be using MS word alot..

the most important is that he will be using Adobe Acrobat aloot and when i say alot, i mean he will be converting nearly 200+ pages from word to pdf or from the internet to pdf. so he wants that it shud be fast..

the budget is strictly 20K for the whole thing...i suggested him to go for AMD. but im a noob in AMD products as im an Intel fan...

if possible kindly tweak the above config so that he can use it for a few years without upgrading.

P.S. the keyboards' gotta be TVSE Gold.

Hi guys....
My Friend has a budget of 13k...for processor ,Motherboard and Ram....

So pls suggest him a good choice....

He has an idea of buying 1gb ddr2 667mhz ....coz he is concentrating more on the proccesor...He ll and another 1Gb in one or two months...

how about c2d E6600....Will it fit into his budget....

Also suggest him a good onboard chipset Motherboard coz he will not buy graphics card for 6~8Months.....


Edited: Dont suggest him a overclocking board coz he ll not overclock his Proccesor...coz just now only he ended up in buring his Pentium D 3.2ghz.....

Guys pls reply for this......

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

thanks keith_j_snyder2. but what do u think about graphics card?

Dude u have mentioned that 8800 GT will be "OUTDATED"!
My 6800 GS is not outdated yet, then how can u say that 8800 GT will be outdated!
Technology is changing every second and it will change forever, u can say that the thing u bought 3 days back is outdated!
The real time to say outdated is when the min. requirement for running a game is higher than u have. Like the 6200 is getting now days!

U gotta see the new 8800 GTS 512MB edition, this kid has beaten everybody's favr8, the 8800 GTX!!!

So if can save something then buy 9 series but i gotta say that the 8800 GT is an excellent card.
If someone wants to buy an 8800 GTX then i have a suggestion!
Buy 2 8800GT or a single 8800 GTS 512MB! Performs better than GTX!

Pathiks,

The prices you have written are for which city?

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

pathink boys prices are always the best you can get in the market.I am going to ask him to shop for me!

 

[mastermunj]

prices are really best!!

but for which city?

i stay at mumbai... will i get peripherals at same price??

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

he's from mumbia,get hold of his no. or something.

here's what I know of prices here in delhi:
xfx 8600gt:5600
1gb transcend ddr2 667mhz RAM:1300

lol,this is what they(SMC) quoted their price,bloody buggers.

 

[varunprabhakar]

thks for the prices pathiks, but do u think i can get those prices inc. taxes at chandigarh?

and ur prices are 26.6k excluding the wireless combo

i think we can finalize these things and these r the prices i expect to get
ram 2gb 2200
hdd 250gb 2700
dvdrw 1500
spkrs2.1 1100
cabinet arnd 1000
lgtech kit 1300
monitor 17" 8000
comes around 17.8k. so i have 7.2k for cpu+mobo wid onboard gfx or some cheap gfx like xfx 8400 gs- 2.8k
i thinkif we get gfx card, then we will b left wid 4.4k for cpu+mobo
i think i can convice him to put in another 1k to fit in gfx card. so we ll have 5.4k, so now we shud go for e2140+ sm mobo (suggest pls)
or stick to amd x2 wid amd690g gfx?? and save money from gfx card?
is 8400 gs really worth going for??

 

[Jags]
