Is it better to get 1TB internal HDD at 4.3k or should I go for WD My Book 1TB at 5.3k.

Also what is the buffer for My Book.

Please tell me with comparative detail.

How does above mentioned OCZ CL4 performs compared to 2GB Transcend 800MHz. The difference will be noticeable or not.

^^RAM: totally noticeable if you are going to try some overclocking. tighter timings means better stability and lower latencies. And yes, performance will be noticeable.

@ kanjar - OCZ C4 800Mhz can beat DDR3 C9 133Mhz rams :p :twistd

The HDD depends entirely on your personal preference and need. If you need to access data frequently then get internel HDD but if you are going to make a backup of your data or wants to create a ISo or movie collection archive then get the extremal one :p

WRONG!!!

I've seen the review of DDR2 vs DDR3 on Phenom II platform(i'll post the link once i find it again).

The performance goes like this:

DDR2 800MHz CL5 < DDR2 800MHz CL4 < DDR2 1066MHz CL5 < DDR3 1333 MHz CL9 < DDR3 1333 MHz CL7 < DDR3 1600MHz CL9 < DDR3 1600MHz CL7 < DDR3 1600MHz CL6

The difference between DDR2 800MHz CL4 and DDR3 1333MHz CL9 isn't more than 1-2 fps in gaming, but yes, DDR3 wins, and also DDR3 has lesser power consumption as you might already be knowing.

Go for 1TB Internal Seagate 7200.12 @ 4.5k , it's a BEST BUY!!!

OCZ CL4 has a excellent heatsink on the ram chips, it's latency timings are 4-4-4-12(i presume) compared to 5-5-5-18 in 2GB Transcend.

This translates to roughly 25% max increase in performance on AMD platform and lesser on INTEL.

The WD 1TB @ 4.3k is a better buy acc to me as WD has lesser failure issues on its head ATM.

Timings are 4-4-4-15 I think...

Thanks Techalomaniac, comp@ddict, desiibond and topgear.

My mobo is intel 965. So in intel there wont be any appreciable performance as per comp@ddict comment. I do not intend to overclock.

Also, I will be using 1TB HDD for backup and random copy-paste. Is it better to get external casing (Rs. 500) or get WD My Book. I need a reliable and sturdy HDD for that purpose.

Which graphics card is the most VFM, price range is 5-7k. Linux drivers should not be a problem.

Better get the WD My Book. Remember to pray before you buy. HDD failure rates are pretty high though I tink WD MyBooks are still in the safer side. Also, a warning. Keep scanning ur drive for bad sectors as u will have some time to backup ur data b4 it conks off(touch wood).

Intel P965 is a very good OC friendly chipset.

With 7k you can get Palit GTS 250 512MB GDDR3 :p

Get ITB External HDD :p

If you are not going to carry around the cheap external casing a lot then it should be fine otherwise get the external HDD as it's more sturdy :p

If it doesnt crash/fail, then it should be great. My seagate HDD crashed, got a replacement 7200.12, it also developed bad sectors, now getting a third replacement... :(

My older Hitachi drive is awesome. 160GB... 3years, at least 150-200 formats and still running great. :D

Here's 2 excellent monitors that fall in your budget, they lacks a HDMI in compared to the Dell ST2210, but make up in the following segments.

Model- Samsung Lavender series P2250(21.5" @ 11k)/ P2350(23" @ 12.5k)

Pros;
1. 2ms response vs ST2210's 5ms response(gaming, also movies benefit from low response time)
2. 300cd/m2 brightness vs ST2210's 250cd/m2 brightness, this matters most, lack of brightness makes watching movies or playing games a pain. I have experienced this before.
3.P2350 has 23" viewable area compared to ST2210's 21.5"
4.If looks matter to you these monitors win hands down.
5.All 3 monitors have Dynamic Contrast 50000:1, excellent.

Cons;
1.Lack of HDMI on the Samsung P2250/P2350 vs ST2210(with HDMI) but its not very important, I've seen a lot of my friends use DVI with HD monitors and they work flawlessly.

Link-
1.Samsung P2250: 11k
