@ arnab boss

hi bro
go with the following config

processor- core i7 860 @ 2.8ghz 8mb l3 cache
mobo- gigabyte ga-p55 ud3 series(go with the cheapest & contact thunder.02dragon as he can arrange one)
gpu-nvidia gtx 260 or 275(palit or zotac)
ram- corasir 2x2gb ddr3 1333mhz(you can go for 1600mhz but they are bit expensive)
hdd- seagate baracuuda 1TB 7200 RPM
cabinet- coolermaster cm690 or zebronics bizli(the latter is half the price of the former)
smps-corsair hx 620
monitor- aoc 2233fm
ups- apc 800va


@ rahul2002

hi buddy

instead of e7400, go for e7500 as the price diiference is negligible & the latter is 2.93ghz
if you want a quad then go for it right now as intel will stop production for lga 775 socket in favour of the core i7 & i5's(lga 1366 & 1156).
Go for intel core 2 quad q8400 @ 2.66ghz 4mb l2 for around 2k more than than the e7400.
For the monitor go with the acer.

Cheers.................

@ arnab boss

hey buddy are you satisfied with the config????

 

[topgear]

@ Raptor1989 - visist theitwares and lynx-india as vickybat told u to get an idea on prices. Though prices here seem to be a little bit higher as it's obvious from thunder.02dragon list & regarding PSU I think you should trust thunder.02dragon

For some shops - try vedant, Mohit, computer world ( the big shop ) and M.D. computers

 

[Arnab boss]

@vickybat...'

Ya buddy Itsunami good but don't u think tht core i7 920 will prove much better than i7 860...?

Secondly what will b the price of the i7 860 setup...''

 

[vickybat]

the core i7 860 will be better as it outperforms the i7 920 in many apps particularly in multicore games like far cry 2 etc and will do so in the future owing to its on die pci express controller.

So stick with lynnfield processors like the i7 860 as the bloomfields such as i7 920 are more touted towards workstations and servers.The 860 even has hyperthreading.

The price is similar with the 920 i.e around 13 - 14k

go with gigabyte's ga p55 ud3r for around 10k

To cut down cost but not performance go for sapphire 4890 1gb gddr5 for 13k or zotac gtx 275 for 15k.i recon stick with ati and later you can add another 4890 and crossfire them as the board supports both sli and crossfire(your choice).

finally go for a 1tb hdd for 4.5k and corsair 2x2 gb ddr3 for 6k along with corsair hx620 @ 6k and cm690 cabby @ 4.5k

In case you want to cut down costs, go with the i5 750@ 10k which lacks hyperthreading but performs brilliantly just behind the 860 and dismantles all amd processors.

The decison is upto you. Either way you can't go wrong

Cheers mate and have a blast..................

@ arnab boss

hi buddy

the 860 & the gigabyte board will be available after puja and you can happily buy them.Contact thunder.02dragon as he'l arrange you the parts.I saw the gigabyte board & the i5 proccy in lynx india website therefore its already available in india and should reach kolkata in no time.

@ topgear

hello buddy

i have a query?

will tagan 500 & 600 watt smps be able to power either a 4890 or gtx 275 along with a core i5 setup.I'm talking about the ones listed in theitwares website i.e the first two models having prices 3.5k & 4.2k for the 500 & 600 watt respectively.
p.s- both are non modular ones

What is a modular powersupply by the way?

Please reply bro......

 

[thunder.02dragon]

Strictly No to those Tagans... Dont go for the specs but check google and get a clear Idea...
@vickybat
Yes bro I am able to get you the mobo but the proccy is still not here

In case of Modular Power Supply
Modular Power Supplies are better and of higher end...Mainly the are certified for Crossfire/SLi(12V rails are divided) also as all the cables are there are modular means all(most of them) of the cables are detachable as you need to connect to those cables which you need...others can be kept otherside...
In modular PSU's usually there are the 12V rails are divided like 12V1/12V2 etc
As of this modularity the cabinet remains clean and less clattered...
Example Tagan BZ800W
Corsair HX PSU's
CM Real Power Modular
Normally all the PSU higher then 850W-800W are modular...

 

[topgear]

@ vickybat- for 4.2K you should opt for Corsair VX450W ( can deliver upto 570W ) or the Tagan 600W model as it which I think enough for a core i5 and a GTx 275

As thunder.02dragon described to you - the cables on modualr psu's can be detachable.
So you can only use the cables you want thus it creates less clutter inside your hood ( cabby )

BTW, I don't know why thunder.02dragon said that tagan psu's are bad. One guy in our forum using a tagan psu with a GTX280 and core i7 920

 

[thunder.02dragon]

@topgear
Usng the U33/U37 are not that much good for high end Systems....just care fully read the Specs you will notice the difference and the flaws...
"Maximum efficiency up to 83% means power supply produces less heat and
emits less noise. An economical and ecological solution"
"Internal OVP (Over Voltage Protection) and OCP (Over Current Protection) functions help to eliminate sudden power surge
which cause damages to peripherals."
Why just these two protection?
So judge mate
I think i doont have to explain more
The BZ series are extremely good but not the U33/U37
