Confused btw Intel i5-2400 or AMD phenom II 1090t?

[prasathlr]

^^ get seasonic 520W PSU as I recommended in my earlier post..

500W is recommended for 6850 and 450w is recommended for 6770.

Also if possible get GPU with DDR5 memory

Roger that!

I have a doubt!

What is the difference btw Phenom II X4 965 and 955??

955 is priced Rs.200 Extra. Which one should i buy??

 

[clmlbx]

Not much difference , they both have same architecture..

Only two differences 965 is 200mhz faster then 955 and also need 15W more power then 955.

Since you arent getting ups, hdd, speakers i will suggest this -
Intel Core i5 2400 @ 10.2k
ASUS H61 @ 3.5k
G.Skill 4GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 1.2k
MSI HD6850 Cyclone PE/OC @ 9.7k
ASUS 24x DVD SATA Black @ 1.1k
FSP Saga II 500 @ 2.3k
NZXT Source 210 Elite @ 2.9k

Total - 30.9k

At lower resolutions processor also plays a significant role.

 

[prasathlr]

I will buy I5-2400. And the rest of the specs mentioned here.

I called up some of the dealers here in Mangalore. And no one is selling I5-2400 for less than 11.5k. Then i decided to checkout Online. After scrambling the net I found a Website Online Computer Market Delhi NCR INDIA::Lowest Updated Price:Rates:Cost:Quotations for PC Hardwares Softwares Parts Accessories Printers Monitors Shops, An Online PC Shop which was offering the product at 9.6k. Is the above website Trust able?

Am new to online purchases so dont have much idea abt it. It will be very helpful if you figure this out to me!

 

[topgear]

^^ never seen anyone to buy from that shop but you can get

core i5 2400 from here at 10.3k :
Intel - Core i5 Processor ― Lynx - The Audio , Electronics And Computer Online Shopping Store In India

or Core i5 2320 at 10.4k
Intel Core i5 2320 Sandy Bridge 3.0GHz (3.3GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I52320

but before buying if you have any doubts don't hesitate to ask forum members about it

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

BTW the HDD you currently have is IDE or SATA?
if its IDE then you will need a new HDD too if you are going for Intel Sandybridge because intel has done away with old connectors. you wont find one on any H61, H67, P67, Z68 mobos.

you may get this then -

Component | Make | Price Processor |Intel Core i5 2320|10400
Motherboard |Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2-B3|3450
RAM |G-skill F3-10600CL9S-4GBNT(4Gx1)|1200
Graphic Card |Sapphire/MSI HD6790|8200
HDD |Seagate 250GB 7200.12/WDC 250GB|3400
DVD Writer |ASUS 24X Sata Black DVD|1150
PSU |FSP Saga II 500|2300
Case |Zebronics Bijli(w/o psu)|1200
| Total |31300

Well I have decided to have this Configuration itself.

i5 2400 - 9700/- (Got it checked as far as sterday)
DH67CL - 5250/- (Any cheaper Mobo? )
Sapphire HD6850 1GB GDDR5 - 9.7k (Even this one got it checked)
LG DVD Writer - 925/-
CM Elite 350 - 1550/- ( Shud i go for NZXT gamma or Zebronics Bijli??)
Seasonic S1 2II 520W - 3250/-(Saw in other threads the 520W is needed for Hd 6850)
Gskill Ripjaws 4GB - 1550/-

Totally it comes to ~32500

I want my PC to be bit future proof compared to AMD config. Or else i would have gone for AMD way itself.

If there are cheaper Mobo. someone had suggested Me Asus Mobo around 3.7k in this thread itself. Should i go ahead with this one or Should i stick this Mobo itself??

There's nothing *future proof* - repeatedly said in this forum.

If you really want to look at that perspective, two more cores from AMD Phenom II X6 1090T + overclocking is "future proof"...

Now get the motherboard you have decided upon. I don't want you to go for a puny H61 motherboard. Because many people are quite weird. They'll cheap out on a motherboard, then later realise that they need more RAM and PCI slots for adding things later. Another part of this so called "future proofing."

Is lynx-India a trust able site??
Has anyone purchased from there?

Another way of looking at *future proofing*....PS: Don't think I'm trying to confuse you. Just stating a small fact.

955 BE + 880GM-USB3 + GTX 560 Ti = 6k + 4.5k + 14k.

i5-2400 + Intel DH67CL + HD 6850 = 9.7k + 5.2k + 9.7k

Price exactly same. But config one is faster in games because of a much faster graphic card.

What's more *future proof* for games now? Nothing. It is a myth.

Ico so true, thanks for pointing out the Myth!!

My question is simple 3 years down the line will Config. one be able to run games that are created at that time?
Maybe i was not able to frame the question in a proper manner!!

well..I have i5-2500k + HD 6950. I can't even tell whether mine will be able to run after 3 years or not. Very difficult to answer.

anyhow, I will recommend you to go for i5-2400 + H67 + HD 6850.

btw, new generation of cards from AMD releasing on 22nd. Availibility by mid January.

 

[prasathlr]

Hahahahahha
I'm day dreaming a lot Thanks Ico.

Can you gimme the final configuration and just try to squeeze a HDD into it...

Processor, Mobo, Gpu, Ram-Gskill 1600MHz, PSU, Cabinet, Hdd and optical drivers.

Around 30-33k

Can you help me out with this??

^^ this only. It is balanced.

 

[prasathlr]

Thank you

OMG without TDF I would be clueless going blindly whatever the dealer had suggested and that too at higher price. I have learnt so much in these past few days.

Thanks to Cilus, Ico, Topgear, Jaskanwar Singh, clmlbx and yu guys are doing great job

 

[sukesh1090]

k.at last what config do you decided?btw i guess that the price at lynx is without tax and the lynx has mixed reviews.some had good experience but some had bad.i suggest you to stay away from lynx.
Btw i bought my config from smcinternational.in,delhi online but now both proccy and mobo is not with them.
Sorry for late reply.

it has mixed reviews - some are bad and some are good but I don't have any personal experience with them but I with go with sukesh1090s suggestion ( see the reply above ) about this

Corsair CX430v2 is enough for the above mentioned config and the price is around ~2.3k

CM Elite 350 is a good cabby but you have buy a 120mm fan with it for good airflow.

You can grab a 250GB HDD costing around ~3.2k, 320Gb one @ 3.7k or a 500Gb one @ 4.2k.

If you don't need USb 3 support and those extra ports/slots/features of H67 mobo then you can get Intel Intel - DH61WW @ 3.2k and spend the saved money of mobo and PSU on the HDD

 

[sukesh1090]

^^
But bro isn't it better to stay away from hdd for now?he can spend the money in using better featured component by using the old hdd.

My reccomendation still stays with 965BE for 30k config.

 

[topgear]

^^ Op has asked for a HDD on post no. 33 - that's why suggested him one - may be he has a OLD IDE HDD and most of the latest mobos don't have IDE ports anymore - so his only option is to buy a Sata HDD
