Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[indian_samosa]

Choto Cheeta .... thanks for the nice thread..

Wanted to ask ... does the onboard graphics motherboards you suggested are better then intel's GMA X 3000 or 3100 ....?? (I am talking about the graphic power)

Guys... koi mujhe answer karo yaaron .....

The X3000 are by far the best onboard solutions but nVidia 7150 is also a good option.
I 'De suggest to go for a 8400 GS or 2400 XT rather than onboard!

Nvidia 7150 / 7100 is better than G965 (GMA x3000) / G33 (GMA x3100)... but by far there are no Nividia 7xxx board supporting Over Clocking !!

Creative 2.1...............................1500

I want to ask
1.what will be the performance boost over this system if I get E6750?
2.please suggest any final changes.

 

[nvidia]

^^If you get e6750 then there will be a huge performance difference. e6750 has performance better than 6000+ so there will be a huge difference.
My advice - If you can afford it, then go for it.

 

[upendra_gp]

the problem is that I have to fit it in 40k with a 8800GT and 19" TFT. so I can't think of it. if u can prepare a config with 6750 then please do I am looking for it friend. i want to get it btw!

yea tricky situation with 40k budget, if u r really a hardcore gamer then go with this gfx card,otherwise buy 8600gt.
using E6750 will give significant boost in performance.....or wait till u can get extra money.

Can someone please confirm the price of 8600GT 256MB (DDR3)?

which brand?

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^yea,should be around 5.2-5.3k at the most in Delhi for xfx one.Dunno about others.

 

[Pathik]

xfx 8600gt 256 mb gddr3 is 5.1k.
asus en 8600gt is 7-7.6k.

 

[kalpik]

Ok thanks.. And one more thing.. I heard XFX's 8600GTs have some heating issues? Which brand would be the best?

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^anyone except xfx should do.Get the asus one,its excellent but a bit costly.

 

[kalpik]

Asus is out of my budget right now.. Will try for other brands.. I kinda like XFX.. Would it be wise to buy an XFX if i can test it properly at the shop itself?

Also.. I need a 19" LCD with price.. I heard Viewsonic has some dead pixel problems?

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

well I too lik xfx a lot but I got myself a POV 8600gt,can't trust xfx for 8600gt anymore.Not to forget the problems we face while RMAing our products.


LCD's--no Idea,I heard Dell ones are very good.

Thanks
