Hi,
Planning to buy a new rig in June first week.
Purpose :
Processor : Core 2 Duo E8400 : 3.00 GHz : 8200
( Confused with Phenom 940 BE, Not a very hardcore overclock fan, though)
Mobo : ASUS P5N7A-VM GF9300 : 8200
(totally confused here, need better info for motherboards, does this support DDR3?)
GPU : HD 4850 512MB GDDR5 : 10800
(Confused with GTX260 and HD4870)
RAM : Corsair 1X3 3BG DDR3 1066 : 6400 (Approx)
(Need to know performance difference between 1066 and 1333 MHz)
PSU : Corsair VX550W : 5800
(IS this sufficiant?)
Case : NZXT Guardian 921 : 4600
HDD : WD 500 GB 7200 rpm : 3000
Monitor : Dell S2209W 21.5" full HD : 10400
(How about HD performance on this? And confused with samsung 22'')
KB/M : Logitech combo Wireless : 1500 (aprrox)
OS : Vista Ultimate : 9000 (approx)
Speaker : (I have already) : -----
TOTAL : : 62100
I forgot DVD writer, but it would cost around 1400, I hope.
Advise me for above issues.
And also suggest some of your configs if it's coming below 60K (including OS and everything ) (If possible pls give listed reply for configs, thanks)
Thanks in advanced..
And Yes, I am going to purchase this system from Hyderabad.
Thanks once again...
Peace...
Planning to buy a new rig in June first week.
Purpose :
- Gaming (Not extreme high end, enthu type) (But want to play latest games like COD4, crysis warhead, far cry 2 etc etc. in decent settings)
- Development (Well mostly gaming rig can cover this)
- Music, Movie, Internet (Not a need for Data Garden, But want a decent space)
- And rest all basic + little bit advanced tasks that can be done on PC like editing and stuff.
- Budget is 60,000 TOTAL
- System should be future proof for at least 1 to 1 and half year

how about this:
Processor : AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition: 14k
( This one beats any processor inside 12k to death)
Mobo : Biostar TA790FX for 6k or Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP for 4.5k (this one won't be able to use advance overclocking features for Phenom II)
GPU : Palit GTX260 894MB SP216 DDR3 PCI With HDMI : 11k
RAM : G-Skill F2-6400CL4D- 4GBPI (2GB x 2) 800 MHz: 4k
PSU : Corsair VX550W : 5800
(this should be enough for gtx260)
Case : Thermaltake M9 for 4.5k or COOLER MASTER Mystique RC-632S-KKN1-GP Black Aluminum for 4600
HDD : WD 500 GB 7200 rpm : 3000
Monitor : Dell S2209W 21.5" full HD : 10400
(no difference between dell and samsung but you need to order dell online for proper warranty which could take 3-4 weeks)
KB/M : Logitech combo Wireless : 1500 (aprrox)
OS : Get Windows 7 beta1 for now which is far better than vista ultimate and buy new windows 7 when it is released. Do NOT buy Vista at this point of time when you can get a much better os for free (a beta win7 is better than vista SP2)

Forgot, add a custom cooler to this and you are ready for some seriously overclockable machine. (given that you get 790FX/790GX based motherboard with ACC AMD overdrive chip onboard )
If I were you, I would get a cabinet for 2k(Elite 330 Black), save 2.5k and put that in mobo and get Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H for 9k. This is one hell of a board that has:
Built-in 128MB DDR3 1333MHz SidePort Memory
SB750 chipset
Embedded Controller for AMD OverDrive- Advanced Clock Calibration
Dual Channel DDR2 1066* MHz
Dolby Home Theater
Dual BIOS

Thanks for the reply buddy,
I have started researching about your specs.
But didn't Microsoft stop the windows 7 beta1 downloads?
Any ways, I was also thinking for going to XP. But in my knowledge XP's updates are being stopped from June this year. (Not sure)
So I was planning to buy Vista. XP is great though.
Also, I am an old Intel fan, So is it possible for you or anybody to provide an Intel config as well?
Thanks for the reply once again.

Indeed, Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H mobo is excellent.

For Intel:
1) E8400 for 9k or Q9400 for 12.5k
2) Asus P5Q Pro: 9k
Rest is same!! But Phenom II X4 940 + Gigabyte 790FX mobo combination will blow away the above intel setup.
Comments on gigabyte 790FX board: *www.bit-tech.net/hardware/motherboards/2008/08/26/gigabyte-ga-ma790gp-ds4h/13
This board has one of the best onboard audio chips available in the market and you don't need to look for a dedicated sound card for Dolby support.
PS: Am not AMD fan but at this time, the only competition to Phenom II X4 series is core i7 and core2quad extreme processors.

Only con is 16MB cache
Here are some benchmarks
*img237.imageshack.us/img237/1051/hdtunebenchmarkst350041.png
I also have 640GB (ST3640323AS) 7200.11 (32mb buffer)
*img145.imageshack.us/img145/5554/hdtunebenchmarkst364032.png
ps: although the harddisk is 418AS but it shows 410AS in the system..

Congrats for your purchase 
Ya. both models have 16MB buffer. So don't worry.
Strange! The HDD should show it's model number correctly.
Have you checked the label on the HDD ?
Try to test it with the latest version of HDTune which is v.3.0 though it's trial it will show you the exact model number or else try the latest version of the trial version of everest.
