Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[Choto Cheeta]

but cant spend even a penny over 30 k.

With Intel its really hard to stick on the exact budget as here too I am just another 1.5k extra

Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 @ Rs. 7000 /- + TAX
XFX 630i Ultra (Nvidia 7150) @ Rs. 3450 /- + TAX
2 GB DDR-II 667 MHz Kingstone Single Stick @ Rs. 1700 /- + TAX
160 GB SATA-II 7200.10 @ Rs. 1975 /- + TAX
DVD RW Lite-on @ Rs. 1300 /- + TAX
Any Local Cabinet with 450 watts @ Rs. 1200 /- + TAX
19" Dell TFT or View Sonic vg1930wm / vx1945wm @ Rs. 10500 /- + TAX
Logitech / Microsoft Combo @ Rs. 700 /- + TAX
UPS Local Brand @ Rs. 1400 /- + TAX
2.1 Creaitve Inspre @ Rs. 1000 /- + TAX


TAX @ 4% VAT Rs. 1209 /-
Total Rs. 31434 /-

Certainly you may cut cost my going for E4500 which will save 2k on this config, but in that case as per cost and performance ratio goes, AMD will perform better

@choto-thnx but i need only 1GB RAM nad 17" TFT but 250 Gb HDD
now tell any config plz

 

[j1n M@tt]

taking a 17"TFT is not such a gud decision , just 4 d difference of 1.5k or 2k ur going to miss a 19" TFT.

Samsung 740nw : 8.5k
And most of todays 17" nd 19" TFTs support 1440*900 res. So with a 17" monitor, it looks sharper, nd almost no need for seting antialiasing in most games. But for movies, 19" wide wud be better.
320GB seagate perpendicular: 3.4k
Perpendicular ones have greater performance. SO its better to choose 320GB seagate which has perpendicular recording technology.
And there's only 700~750/- difference in 1G nd 2G single stick. So get 2GB, nd in future u can add another 2GB of same model to get dual ch.
And do get 2G 800Mhz one. It not only give better performance, but in future only DDR2 800 will be around for long [like the DDR333 is not available nd only 400].
SO for dual channel in future, get 800Mhz one.

i wanted to buy a PC for 25k Max . choto please suggest a good config ! absolutely no gaming.

whats the price difference between 17inch and 19 inch ?? if its 1k then better a 17inch monitor
coz i won't game .... nor will i watch movies
wide screen preferred though

 

[j1n M@tt]

with 1k or 1.5k difference u will get widescreen 19"TFT instead of a normal 17"TFT

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

and what's the difference between 17 and 19 really.. resolution is the same right ???
so i better save the 1k for better thing.. right ?? or not really ??

if 19inch one out perform 17s in quality then i hv to go for 19 only

 

[j1n M@tt]

Go for 19" Dell or View Sonic . u won't regret it later, I'm sure......

I have a budget of 8000-8500 for new mobo+proccy. I am thinking of C2D E4500, but can't decide on mobo. Kindly suggest the mobo or maybe any other proccy+mobo alternative.

 

[dOm1naTOr]

XFX 630i Ultra is a gr8 mobo nd is around 3.6k as quoted by choto cheeta.
It has got nvidia 7150gfx.

this one is dedicated to shorting out any new system related question, may be he didnt know and some one may have pointed him here... and I dont think there would be any problem as he posted here too

@aravind

On paper its a great mobo yet to see its performance though 1st major set back for me as an advance user is it doesnt support ntune utility apart from that on paper it is a really good solution for budget Core 2 Duo system as claims to support Over Clocking

I am not multi-threading brother. Technically, muclithreading means creating two parallel threads for the same topic. That thread is mine but this particular thread is not started by me. I am just talking here about the topic of my interest; or is it a SIN too

@writealexthomas

u know main purpose of this thread for me was to try and sum up all those never ending upgrade and new system needed threads but people seems to miss the sticky and post a new thread once again

 

[writealexthomas]

Which processor would go with XFX 630i ultra ?
Comparatively it would be better if it equals or betters E4500.

 

[dOm1naTOr]

U can go with E4500 itself with 630i U.

I dont think you have too much option which you budget other than E4300


By the way, The 630i ultra doesnt support Dual Channel RAM configuration, having said that I would also point out, that XFX 650i ultra with 1 GB x 2 would be around Rs. 6600/- and XFX 630i Ultra with 4 GB single channel would be Rs. 7000/-, and 4 gb is certainly would perfome better than Dual Channel 2 GB

 

[writealexthomas]

But I read in my the other thread that E4500 is out of production !!!
So, which proccy replaced it?

U can go with E4500 itself with 630i U.

 

[j1n M@tt]

don't know if it is right *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/114.gif,but datz wat the RP guys r telling.
