Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[kurtailed]

Hi all,

I am looking to purchase a budget PC (in Delhi) with full HD capability, smooth OS functioning (Vista/Windows 7) and good enough gaming performance (just OK performance will also do).

My budget is ~25K.

Please suggest the best config available in this budget..I know its on lower side but lets see....

Also, no preference among AMD or Intel..basically whatever gives the best performance will do..

Thanks in advance!

 

[desiibond]

is it including monitor, speakers and UPS?

 

[kurtailed]

Yes I will purchase a new monitor..

Also, I will sell my existing oldie...I think it might go for 3-4K..so that can be added in the budget..

Athlon II X2 240: 3.4k-3.5k
ASUS M3A68-EM: 4.2k-4.5k
Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800MHz 2Gb x2: 1.5k each
Western Digital Green or Seagate 7200.12 500Gb HDD: 2.7k

^^just wait for a week. Looks like 785G mobos have made their way into Indian market and MSI model is available for some 4.5k and ASUS's is availble for 6.5k (at lynx-india). But you will be needing DDR3 for that.

can u please specify the model number me the motherboard so that i can take price value from local vendor please

 

[abhi1301]

Guys I have a Stupid query here lots of boards the specs say IEEE1394 and RJ35 ports wat are these supposed to mean are they DVI out.s or somehing plz help

Thanx in advance.

also if someone follows digit regularly and can help me with the award winning mobo and speakers in their shootout/buyers guide/ annual review etc.

 

[topgear]

IEEE1394 is the firewire port - many high end cameras and expensive external hdds uses this for data transfer as it is faster than USB 2.0
*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1394_interface

RJ45 ( not RJ35 ) is the ethernet or LAN port where you usually plug in your network cable or the cable that comes out from your ADSL modem to browse net
*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RJ45

Mobos change a lot from time to time - what is best today will not be a best buy a few months later.

Let us know your budget for speaker & mobo & which platform you wanna go - intel or AMD ?

Hi Friends,

I wish to get a PC with intel i920 processor but i am confused for other hard wares. My budget is 40-45k. I am stuck with various Questions
1) Which motherboard (intel,asus,gigabyte... )?
2) Which ram? I am thinking of 4 Gb?
3) Graphics CArd?
4) HDD 1TB
5) Coolents? etc... If i missed oops Mioitor nd others?

Any other gud processor u think?

I am in Mumbai. Can u plz tell me Place in mumbai to buy these stuffs New in Mumbai So does not Know much? I have heard Abt Lamington road though. Any Particular Shop there?

 

[topgear]

Don't get me wrong but 40-45K is not enough to buy a core i7 based rig coz a core i7 920 will cost you Rs. 14.5K & MSI x58 pro mobo will cost you Rs. 13K. 3x 1GB of DDr3 will cost you Rs. 4.5K or 3x 2Gb will cost you Rs. 9-10K as x58 supports triple channel.

For gfx card nothing less than GTX260 would be a good choice for core i7. GTx 260 costs Rs. 10.5K.

1TB HDD costs Rs. 4.5K. So the whole deal will cost you nearly 50K.

BTW, you need a monitor, a good PSU like corsair VX550 atleast @ Rs. 6K and a cabby with good ventilation. A good cpu cooler is also required if you want to OC.

Increase your budget to 75-80K

For a good shop in your city try this one :

[desiibond]

True. 70k is bare minimum for quality core i7 system. You can buy it for 50k too but you need to use a 2k gpu, 300 bucks mouse and k/b and cheap grade PSU etc, which is not worthy.

Go for Core2quad/duo if you are inclined towards Intel or AMD Phenom II X4 if you are inclined towards AMD.
