Gaming CPU

Get Logitech keyboard & mouse

or just use 2K for better gaming keyboard

wired or wireless...which model?

 

[desiibond]

microsoft k/b keys become hard after a long time.

if you are more into gaming, get wired laser set.

anyways, this one's available for 1500 bucks: *www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard_mice_combos/devices/4334&cl=roeu,en

But my pick would be this:
Logitech G1 gaming corded desktop.

I think G1 should be fine......

I have arrived at the following config:
MSI 790GX
X4 940 BE
2*2Gb DDR3
Antec EA 650
Samsung 2233SW

As desibond told...will wait for 1 or 2 weeks to get GFX card....any inputs are welcome...
and also pls suggest me cabinet...budget is 2500/-
Is "UPS APC UPS BR 500VA" enough for my configuration?

 

[desiibond]

for 2.5k, I am think CM Elite 334/335 should be a good buy.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

How good is this Logitech G1 Gaming Desktop Combo ? Does it have any gaming related features ? Is the mouse responsive enough for demanding FPS games ?

PS: Curious since I'm going to need a keyboard/mouse combo soon once I get my desktop/laptop.

 

[VenkiP4]

Came to know there are compatibility issues with MSI 790GX and X4 940 BE.....as pin configs are different

@VenkiP4, thats a great find. sorry for not finding this.

the supported list of processors is X4 925, 945, 955, 910, 810, 805.

Only X4 955 AM3 is avaialble now I think and is around 14k right now.

Looks like you wait for 945 and 925 to release or go for X4 940+ddr2 mobo with am2+ socket.

 

[VenkiP4]

@desibond, this time I will go with :X4 940 + Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H" as I can not wait...only the GFX is pending.....
any idea "UPS APC UPS BR 500VA" is sufficient for my configuration as this has Output Power Capacity 300 Watts?

 

[desiibond]

don't go for 500VA. You won't get enough backup for 650W PSU even if the psu is not under full load.

I am having 500VA and the UPS sometimes shuts off inside few seconds when my VX450W PSU stays at full load. but when on AC power, no issues.

 

[VenkiP4]

@desiibond, How about MSI 790GX & X3 720 (it has support for both AM2 & AM3) combination?

 

[desiibond]

hmm. yes. it's a good combination. how about X4 810 AM3 CPU? Available for 9k and lands between X4 720 and X4 920. It's not black edition though. when it comes to video encoding/ripping, it is lot faster than X3.

I suppose overclocking is not easy with X4 810 as this is not black edition....

 

[desiibond]

ah okay. i thought you weren't going to overclock.

yep. not as easy as that for X3 720. and looks like it gets stuck at 3GHz.

so, stick to X3 720

 

[desiibond]

X3 720BE + MSI 790GX+DDR3

@desibond, Can we bargain with Golcha computer at SP road...Do they reduce prices after bargaining? or any other shop in SP raod where I get discount?....

 

[desiibond]

Not much bargaining you can do at Golcha but you can try. What I noticed is at some places certain h/w will be cheaper but overall you will get almost the same price for entire PC.

check these

1) golcha
2) sagar
3) ankit

Golcha guys are giving onsite support for 1yr and after 1yr it will be usual warranty from manufacturer(for free) but am not sure how effective their support will be.

 

[VenkiP4]

Any online sites which we can trust and deliver in Bangalore (Incase if I dont find any item at SP Road.)?

 

[desiibond]

computer warehouse (MG Road). bit costly but they take care of all the issues. you need not run to the service center.
