HD4670 can't even use 512MB what will you do with that 1GB ?
And its better to go for the much stronger 9600GT 512MB Instead which costs the same.

4670 just lags behind some 2-4 FPS compared to 9600GT. And then its power consumption is also low. So I think its better to go for 4670. And 9600GT costs some 200-300 bucks more also. And I didn't understood why you are saying "4670 can't even use 512MB".?

It can't, its a long story actually, any nVidia GPU with less than 112 shaders and ATI GPU with less than 640 shaders can barely use 512mb RAM, if you want 1GB then 192(nV)/800(ATI) shaders is a must.

^^ So that would be GTX 260 from nvidia and HD4870 from ATI atleast

comp@ddict, this is a really, really useful thread. It's something I have began referring to very frequently. Thank you, and topgear and thetechshopguy as well.

^^ Nice configs - but The AMD mobo you suggested supports DDR2 only - if I'm not wrong you made this mistake 2 times

but I've got some suggestions

For intel rig I think it would be wiser to get a G31 based mobo from some other 3rd party vendors such as asus ( P5KPL AM IN ), gigabyte ( GA-G31ME-S2L ) or MSI ( G31 TM P21 ) and their mobo is also cheaper around 2.3K or somebody can get ASUS P5N-MX which is based on Nvidia 7050 chipset - so a little gaming will do without any gfx card.

The left over money around Rs. 400 can be added with a the price of a 9400GT to get a 9500GT anyway. That will be prove more better

For amd rig going with Asus M2N68-AM + ( around 2.3K ) and 9500GT 512MB GDDR3 around Rs. 3.3K - will be more fruitful in gaming.

So my suggestions goes like this

AMD:

AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.8GHz: 3k
Transcend/Kingston 2 GB DDR 800MHz: 2K
Biostar A785GE : 3.4k ** / Asus M2N68-AM + ( around 2.3K ) ( nvidia 7.25 chipset )*
Western Digital 500Gb sata caviar blue: 2.5k
Zebronics Bijli cabinet with PSU: 1.6k
samsung dvd writer: 1.1k
Logitech k/b and mouse: 700rs
Benq G922HD 19" display: 6.3k
Altec Lansing BXR 1121: 1.2k
APC UPS 500VA : 2.3k
* Palit 9500GT GfX card around 3-3.3K **

* Around 26K total

Intel:

Intel Pentium Dual core E5200: 3k
Transcend/Kingston DDR2 800MHz 2Gb: 2K
Any G31 chip based mobos from Asus?Gigabyte or MSI around 2.3K/ Asus P5N-MX **
Western Digital 500Gb sata caviar blue: 2.5k
Zebronics Bijli cabinet with PSU: 1.6k
samsung dvd writer: 1.1k
Logitech k/b and mouse: 700rs
Benq G922HD 19" display: 6.2k
Altec Lansing BXR 1121: 1.2k
APC UPS 500VA : 2.3k
Palit 9500 GT Rs. 3-3.3K **

========================================================

** Any body willing not to use gfx card but wants a little bit of gaming should look for Biostar A785GE mobo for AMD and Asus P5N-MX for AMD without any gfx card.

Anybody wants HD movie Playback and a little gaming should opt for Biostar A785G for AMD and G31 chipset based mobo + powercolor HD4350 around Rs. 2K for intel. The Monitors to look for is :

BenQ 22" G2220 FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 8k
Samsung 2233SW 22" FULL HD LD Monitor @ 9.2k
Dell S2209W 21.5" FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 9.2k

Anybody wants Moderate gaming ( & HD movie Playback optional ) should opt for Asus M2N68 AM+ mobo for AMD and a G31 chipset based intel mobo along with a 9500GT

 

[desiibond]

Thanks for correcting AGAIN on DDR3

Reason why I opted for 9400GT is that this rig is not meant for gaming and I wanted it to be strictly inside 25k, not a rupee more. And also had to stick to zeb vanilla PSU. For Intel G31 chipset is so weak that for HD playback, a dedicated GPU was necessary.

Given the performance advantage that AMD Athlon II X2 has over pentium dual core and minimal difference between 785G and 9400GT, I opted not to go for a dedicated GPU for AMD rig

Also if I am correct, nvidia 7050 is directx 9 and shader model 3 card. This is really really old and very weak chipset. and it can struggle to playback HD content.

Yes the 780G and 785G can handle HD Content flawlessly.....
it can even manage to run crysis atleast @10-12fps....8)

Yup, I got your point.

I know g31 is weak at HD playback so I had suggested a HD4350 ( 2K ) which I think is enough to playback HD contents for non gamers.

Amd fans can get Biostar 785G mobo without any gfx card for HD playback.

The Asus P5N-MX was suggested for those who wants normal DVD quality playback with a very little gaming as 7050 is a bit better than g31 in gfx performance.

A low priced g31 mobo coupled with a 9500Gt and Asus M2N68-AM + coupled with a 9500GT was suggested for gamers on a tight budget and for those who wants HD movie playback as well

comp@ddict, this is a really, really useful thread. It's something I have began referring to very frequently. Thank you, and topgear and thetechshopguy as well.

+1. Same here. I use it a LOT to bargain when buying real stuff and also to see if I am being ripped off anywhere.

One common request I get is a 25K rig - does this even make sense?

Definitely does. I'm trying to build a 25k rig myself. Main thing about this sort of rig is learning to choose the components based on the purpose in hand and the upgrade cycle. Normally this is the typical budget of a family rig though it usually goes upto 30k.

4670 just lags behind some 2-4 FPS compared to 9600GT. And then its power consumption is also low. So I think its better to go for 4670. And 9600GT costs some 200-300 bucks more also. And I didn't understood why you are saying "4670 can't even use 512MB".?

2-4 FPS make the difference between playable and non-playable.

200-300 bucks for 2-4 extra FPS on ANY card is awesome.

And By "4670 cant even use 512mb" I meant that it would just about manage to handle that much data which 512mb buffer stores. 1GB is wasted unless you are frequently using graphics with very large textures.

ok, MetalHead Gautham, understood your point

Adding some prices:

VIP Gold 400W @ 1.4 k
VIP Gold 500W @ 2.2 k
Asus EN9800GT 512MB @ 6k (Dont know if this is a good price or not, but this is what I got locally)
Sparkle 9800 GT 1 GB @ 7.5 (This price surely seems high when I inquired locally)

 

[tkin]

ok, MetalHead Gautham, understood your point

Adding some prices:

That 9800GT for 7.5k is a joke, a HD4850 or GTS250 at same price blows it away. 9800GT for 6K is ok-ish in a way, only if the budget is strict 6k, cause @ 6.9k HD4850 is miles ahead.

 

[saqib_khan]

^^ Yeah...I too think that the price is high, but what can you do If one wants to buy locally only. I myself also ordered for Asus EN9800GT 512MB for 6k. I know this price is high, but I didn't wanted to purchase online. What can you expect in this Surat City I wish I was staying in Mumbai....

And one joke for you all, you know the shopkeepers at my place say 9800 GT is a high end graphic card, they say "What will you do buying a so high end card & why are you wasting so much in a graphic card". lol...Its also hard to convince these people. And I am waiting for 4 days to get my 9800 GT. This waiting time is killing No one here keeps stock of these so called high end graphic cards.
