Hardware price list/spec sheet

C'mon guys, plz help.

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1109372&postcount=602

I need a mobo for max 7k based on either P45 or P43 Intel chipsets. M not looking for overclocking, only stability. I prefer ASUS or GIGABYTE. I askd a couple of local stores for an ATI HD 4770 and they sd it is for abt 8.6k( Palit ). I need a good VFM GFX card. The brand isn't the issue, but performance and VFM matter a lot. My budget for the GFX card is 7k.

Plz suggest guys. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For recovering data from hdd, goto lynx-india.com, and get the owner's contact details. He does all repairing/recovering works. Also Palit 4770 costs 6.5k. Goto techenclave.com's market forum. There in dealer's paradise you'll get the best prices for almost all computer hardware available in India. If you're only looking for stability and not overclocking, even intel platform is good for it.

BTW, which graphics card you are using ?

[cyanide911]

How much extra per dollar does Katmandude take? Any idea?

 

[hsetir]

Now a days, it finally costs 70 rupees per dollar. You'll get almost same price for most items in growing competition in local dealers if available.

 

[Krow]

@compaddict Can't push my budget much! Hwz the biostar board 4 AMD vs Gigabyte EP43/ASUS P5QL-E??? Even I'm unhappy with the GFX cards I gotta choose 4m! I can't spend more than 7k on my card. I'm basically looking for VFM products which would last me a year and a half or two, max 3! I figured 4 cores would let me video edit in peace 4 a while as my current P4 is absolutely horrible on Premeire Pro CS3! I figured 4770 to be of good value arnd the budget I got. What say?

GTS 250 sucks. As of now, in the budget seagment, HD4850 512MB GDDR3 (8 to 8.5K budget), HD4770 512MB GDDR5 (7 to 7.5K budget) 9600GT (5K) and 9500GT (3.5K) rock.

Yeah then consider Phenom II X4 920 as CPU.
HD4770 is fine. If you get a 5.5K 790GX motherboard, you can add one more HD4770 in crossfirex when you get money later and price drops.

The AOC one has 16:10 aspect ratio but SAMSUNG 2033SW has 16:9. The difference between these 2 aspect ratio is that 16:9 gives u more wider display area. And the new universal standard is 16:9.
U can check the web for this! Just because 1680X1050 has have more pixels doesn't means it is better, 1600X900 is the better replica of 1920X1080 (the full HD).

ya I know dat. But right now am not in a position to spend too much on a new grfx card, and with dat more pixels I can turn off the AA and wont know the difference. btw I like the 2233SW Full HD, but after seeing the 2033SW's display I don't feel like calling it HD with 16:9 AR even thou Samsung says so. So I brought this AOC XHD monitor which fits in the same budget range as dat of 2033SW.

Don't think so, GTS250 1GB @ 9.5k beats both HD4850(8.5k) and HD4770(7.2k) easily, check out all the reviews(for 1 GB edition) and the price difference is very small compared to the performance increase and not to mention better cooling and support for PhysX.

[comp@ddict]

^^7.7k for 512MB
9.5k for 1GB, the price diff. isn't small at all!

 

[MetalheadGautham]

^^What are you refering to ?

 

[Krow]

^^What are you refering to ?

He's referring to tkin's comment about price difference of Rs.2k being a small amt. I agree actually. For example I'm extremely tight on budget, so every k matters a lot. Just trying to squeeze out the most out of the 30k(+-3k) that is available to me.

Neways I agree with MetalheadGautham.
GTS 250 sucks. nVidia can't fool ne1 by rebranding 8800GT(one of their best)!
I think that more than the bandwidth, the processor matters more w/ref GFX card.

Another idea which occured to me when I thought about how to use my money better (Intel platform) is to sacrifice a bit on my mobo and get an ASUS P5KPL-CM board (Is it good enough for a Quad?) and use the 3-4k I save on the GFX card.What would be the difference between a full ATX board and a micro ATX board? Suggestions?

AMD is tempting me too, especially cz of its awesome backward compatibility with the AM2+ socket. In that way Intel sucks. Another Query... For raw processing power, which would be better- Phenom II X4 920 or Q6600? Also, clock-for-clock, I saw the benchmarks favour the Q6600.

PS- Plz chk j1n M@tt's sig. It made me think seriously about the P5KPL-CM!

[Krow]

I askd the store nearest my place today and they told me that Q6600 is for Rs.12750 due to a rise in demand! I actually askd them if they were talking about Indian Rupees or Nepali Rupees! Is there any truth to this? Can ne1 in Mumbai verify?

 

[Krow]

My frnd askd Sidewalk systems @ lamington and I got the foll rates.

Q8200 - 8.9k
Kingston DDR2 2x2GB 800MHz - 1.3k x 2
WD 500GB - 2.9
ASUS P5QL-E - 6.6k
VX450 - 4.15k
Radeon HD 4770 512MB - 8.25k

Justified?
