Well am not happy with it. Guide me plz.

1. Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 at 8.9k ---> End of life product
2. Gigabyte GA EG41MF S2H at 5.5k ---> same as above.
3. Kingston 2GB DDR2 PC-800MHz at 2.25k ---> DDR3 way to go.
4. LG/Sony DVD RW at 1.1k
5. Umax or Elnova T640 UPS at 1.6k ---> APC 550VA
6. Frontech Cabinet with smps at 11.5k ---> WTF. 11.5k? Frontech? u out of your mind? get any cabby along with VIP 400W/500W PSU.
7. Western Digital Cavier 320GB at 2.25 k ---> look for 500Gb HDD. cost same.
8. Samsung 933SN at 7k ---> more like 20" Benq. cost same.
9. Logitech Keyboard Mouse Combo at .5k

ok so final thing looks like this:

Processor: Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz: 5k or Phenom II X2 555 BE as suggested above. both cost same.
Motherboard: Biostar TA785G3 HD: 4.3k
Ram: Transcend 2 X 2Gb DDR3-1333Mhz: 5.4k //get 2Gb if gaming not top priority//
Hard Disk: Western Digital 500Gb Blue: 2.3k
Graphics Card: Sapphire HD5670 512Mb Arctic Cooler: 5.2k //optional. if less or no gaming, motherboards graphics will handle//
Optical Drives: LG GH22NS50: 1.1k
PSU: VIP Gold 400W @ 1.4k //don't get Cooler Master Extreme Power PSU//
Cabinet: any cabby u like. i suggest Zebronics Bijli without the default SMPS @ 1.1k
Monitor: BenQ G2020HD 20" LCD Monitor: 7k
Keyboard Mouse: Logitech Internet Pro Desktop: 0.7k
UPS: APC 550VA: 1.8k

so whats your idea about the config.

 

[Jripper]

Awesome.
And yes,if graphics card is not needed then shouldn't he invest on the MSI 785G-E53??
Or rather a 790 based board?

+1.... go with the above config eyes closed.... exclude the gpu and get msi 790gx-g65 @ 6.3k if budget is going out....

 

[Piyush]

@sanju
look bro if ur main focus is on gaming
then go for phenom be 555 alongwith 785 g based mobo and at least 5670 gfx card

if u are not into gaming and stuff
then go for athlon x4 630 alongwith 790gx based mobo and NO graphic card


rest of all,refer sam shab's suggestion

 

[avichandana20000]

hey guys my rig is a bad one kya? instead of 500gb i have a 1TB seagate HDD. PLS DONT DISHEARTEN ME. I am a father of this little girl(avatar picture) and after maintaining my family i have saved some money for a year and then i have bought it on January 2010. i want to continue with this rig peacefully for next 5 to six years. i do not want to fall in all those tech zargons and has no intention to OC the proc. It will be basically used for my daughter's education. so pls suggest if there is anything i need to change. what comes in my mind is that i may need to change the stock cooler of phenom II x4 as CPU is getting over 50 degree cel.

well sir your rig is amazing
and ur decision for getting 1tb is a right one
few suggestions from my side

instead of buying 16"dell monitor u can 19" lcd for a few bucks more
and
i didnt understand about ur cabinet query
can u plz make it a lil simple?

E53 got no sideport memory. 790GX may push this config out of his budget. though 790GX can be used for causal gaming. however most 790GX cost ~7k. costly.

true.... dont get c2ds.... at your budget go with amd....

+1.... go with the above config eyes closed.... exclude the gpu and get msi 790gx-g65 @ 6.3k if budget is going out....

@6.3k, this mobo looks really a good one. will handle casual gaming with ease. have u tried OC the HD3300 mGPU? i feel u can attain speed of 1Ghz. will than suite your X4 better

your PC's only downside is its screen. the mobo is quite a bit powerful. & can handle even 22" with no problem if gaming not on "to do list". only other bad thing is the PSU. i sure its the buggy Extreme Power PSU. won't be trouble until a graphics card is added.

however if OP decides goes for above mentioned rig, he'll shoot past 40k like a bullet. thats only reason i not highlighted your post.

well sir your rig is amazing

instead of buying 16"dell monitor u can 19" lcd for a few bucks more
and
i didnt understand about ur cabinet query
can u plz make it a lil simple?

OP posted this:

6. Frontech Cabinet with smps at 11.5k

a crappy nonsense Frontech with a super crappy PSU costing 11.5k. even a idiot won't spend so much on a Frontech. i know its a typing mistake. what he tried explain is provided budget for cabby is 1.15k, CM Elite 310 can be purchased. however if OP's budget for cabby really 11.5k (i doubt), he can get the Sniper.

hope i clear your doubt buddy

+! to your rig.... it is sufficiently futureproof(me myself using almost same config).... but my query is same as that of piyush.... could you please simplify your cabinet query????

wanna do it but i m fearing about temprature.... its 44'C in delhi and i dont have an ac in my room.... i do monitor ny rig's temp using cpu-z.... runs at around 41'C at idle(downloading only).... but it shoots up to 50'C while playing gta san andreas.... will buy cooler master hyper n520 this may....

just u need is a 90mm/120mm good side fan, blowing air straight to the IGP. & that will let u OC the IGP to 900Mhz+. 1Ghz maybe a bit too much out of my mouth. also don't forget Fermi runs @ 97degree. yours hardly run at 1/2 the temperature. so no worry. be happy & do OC

looks like fermi have set a benchmark for the highest temperature ratings

 

[sanju_nlp81]

Well I am really thankful to u all for ur valuable suggestions. Yes it was a typing mistake for the cabinet, its actually 1.15k. Like u all am also a gr8 fan of amd but people here just know Intel stuff no matter how I try, cant make them believe in amd.

So, plz suggest something from Intel basket!!

who said we only suggest intel
i'll blindly recommend u to go for AMD
some guys like sam shab,asingh,crow,revolution.......all carry enough info on AMD
moreover they will surely suggest u to go for AMD in this budget range just like i did

Thanks. actually i havent bought any monitor till now. That was a suggestion for sanju.


The query is not about Cabby. Both my monitor and rig is on the top of a table. I have engaged a stand fan from sideways whenever i start my PC to cool myself and my rig.At that time the processor temp is between 45 to 49 deg ce and motherboard temp is below 40. But when i do not engage that fan cpu temp rises to 53-54 cel and mobo tepm to 50 cel. My question is should i

option 1) change my stock cooler and appoint a cooler master heat sink(Hyper N520)
option 2) only apply CM nano fusion and refrain from option 1
option 3)add 1 120 mm front(intake) fan and 120 mm side bottom fan(intake).

Before buying i used a PSU calculator from Cooler master and it suggests me for a 250w.But i bought a CM 500W PSU. I DO NOT need a Graphics card as it is a GX mobo and i have stated the purpose of my PC. But yes i will definitely watch all Hollywood movies along with old & new hindi and bengali movies.

with no problem if gaming not on "to do list"
I play games (always after sunset) but not an addicted one and i never play demo except full version.

Regarding PSU airflow i have a query. What is the airflow mechanism of a PSU? Sucking hot air from inside the cabby and throws it out? if it is affirmative then my mobo temp should not rise so much as both the rear exhaust fan and psu fan is sucking the rising hot air

pls enlighten me.

 

[coderunknown]

yah. it got. moreover if you fit Fermi into a single slot fan graphics card, u may even have a portable Nuclear Fission bomb. not enough blow up Herosima or maybe Delhi but surely yours, mine or anyones PC

simple get i5 750 + Intel DP55WB. will need a graphics card though. not recommended go for i3. else u'll get complain later. or ask them get AMD. choice is theirs.

cooler leave as it is. heat isn't much issue. 50degree normal for AMD. remember it runs at over 3Ghz. & add to it, its quadcore + 6Mb L3 cache. if you not getting any oddy sound, may stick to the default heatsink. do clean it from time to time. may apply TIM.

however mobo is a bit too hot. attach a good 120mm fan opposite to the mobo's heatsink. provided you got provision for it in your cabby. to circulate air further well, adding a 120mm intake fan highly recommended, along with a 90mm out take fan (rear, as PSU's fan already acting as a exhaust).

oops. thought you have the same monitor prescribed above.

the mobo is quite a bit powerful. & can handle even 22" .
intending to buy DELL 22" ST2210

don't. if gaming is on high on priority. get 20". or add a HD4650 (minimum), or HD5670 (recommenced).

Graphics card is not needed as it is a GX mobo

however 22" too much for even the King of the Hill IGP.

with no problem if gaming not on "to do list"
I play games but not an addicted one and i never play demo one except full version. .

already told above. however racing should run. FPS won't.

Regarding PSU airflow i have a query. What is the airflow mechanism of a PSU? Sucking hot air from inside the cabby and throws it out? if it is affirmative then my mobo temp should not rise so much as both the rear exhaust fan and psu fan is sucking hot air AND HOT AIR RISES UP.

pls enlighten me.

PSU's fan suck hot air out. & as u mentioned, you got exhaust fan. means both are throwing air out. & nothing to take air in. its natural for mobo temp hover around 50degree. after all IGP running at 700Mhz. add 1 X 120mm fan at front (optional). 1 X 120mm fan on side (very much recommended).

I will do that

along with a 90mm out take fan (rear, as PSU's fan already acting as a exhaust).

This means three exhaust : PSU+rear+90mm

Gaming is not the priority. Movie and educational kids' software are the priority.

HD 5670 is a GRAPHICS CARD I THINK. But i do not require it.


already told above. however racing should run. FPS won't.

Call of Duty, Project IGI, RTCW all are running i have tested it.

Yes i will definitely do that & let you know about the temp. One more thing i want to share that i have done a case mod with my Elite 310.

 

[coderunknown]

CM nano fusion & gels like this.

This means three exhaust : PSU+rear+90mm

nope. if u already have 1 exhaust fan, no need add another one. actually PSU acts well as an exhaust. however PSU will suffer.

Thanks got the point . But how are you breaking down the quote into several ones and answering them point to point?

simply separate the post into many parts & use the quote shortcut in the Standard menu bar in the edit box

Gaming is not the priority. Movie and educational kids' software are the priority.

no crysis. no problem. old games will run. new games will suffer.

Yes i will definitely do that & let you know about the temp. One more thing i want to share that i have done a case mod with my Elite 310.

oh congrats. with the transparent side panel? how did u accomplished this task? i mean what type of modding stuffs used? cold cathode. neon lights. UV fans.
