dear guys...May i be so bold to drop in...and Have a go with my Query here...!!

1st of I'm posting after a long time...Sorry 4 that...and i wish all of u a very happy 2006..

My Budget is around Rs. 35000-40000..

I hv decided on
AMD 64bit 3200+ 939 pin...
MoBo of either MSI RS 480-M2 IL.../WinFastNF4K8MC.../AsusK8NE....
XFX/BIG GeForce 6600 256 MB
512 MB DDR 400..
Liteon/Sony DVD Writer
80 GB Seagate HDD (May be 2 of them if budget allows.. ]
17" Acer
iBall Cabinet 400W
Microsoft KB/MS
5.1 Creative Speakers...


problem is... Here (in Kolkata) a dealer says they hv run out of MSI RS480-M2...M4 is available...how good is that...?

ASUS k8ne +AMD3200= Rs.14200 ..is it reasonable ?...

WinFast..is it reliable...?

Also in Digit september 05 BIG 6600 with 256 Memory outperformed XFX 6600 128 MB memory... but what abt xfx 6600 with 256 MB memory ?

Liteon 1693s is not available..shud i get liteon 1673..?

What wud be a suitable alternative for Acer ?

First of all i think you mean the ASUS A8N-E. The K8NE is for 754 pin AMD64. The ASUS mobo is the best of the lot. Dont even think of going for Winfast. The MSI is a good alternative. But since you are buying a grafix card anyway, ASUS is better suited to you.

Also in Digit september 05 BIG 6600 with 256 Memory outperformed XFX 6600 128 MB memory... but what abt xfx 6600 with 256 MB memory ?

Go for the XFX 6600GT 256MB. Or else if you can spend a little more go for the 6800GS.

Liteon 1693s is not available..shud i get liteon 1673..?

Yes go for the 1673s. There is not much difference between the two. I have the 1673s and im more than satisfied with it.

What wud be a suitable alternative for Acer ?

Philips is a suitable alternative for Acer. Go for the light frame version. (I think thats what its called, not too sure). Should cost around 6-7k.

My BaD...I meant ASUS A8NE..

What abt..MSI-RS480-M4..?

I'm not going 4 GT..only 4 simple..XFX 6600 with 256 MB Ram

thnks

 

[Hells_Fury]

I dont know about the MSI-RS480-M4...Sorry

If you are a gamer I would suggest that you at least go for a 6600GT to make sure your sys will last for a bit...

 

[Thor]

I will like to give u all My Budget Overview....

AMD 3200+ (or)_3000+ AND ASUS A8NE = Rs.14200 or 12000
RAM =512 MB 400MHz DDR HYNIX = Rs. 2350 [May Add more...]
XFX GeForce 6600 256 MB = Rs. 5000-6000....
Monitor =LG/SamSung 17" =Rs.6000 [Maybe less if i don't go 4 Flatscreen..]
Cabinet= iBall =Rs.1200 [May opt 4 better if budget allows..]
KB/Mouse..Microsoft =Rs.1000
HDD=Seagate 80GB =Rs.2600/2700
DVD RW Liteon 1673s/Sony =Rs.3000/3300...
Speaker Creative 2.1 =rs.1600-1800 [Rs. 4000 if budget allows 4 5.1 ]
--------------
Grand Total =Rs.38550 ... Which in fact is Just abt 1000 below my Budget.... [Taking Max out of the choices....]

Now i hv the following option... Go for AMD 3000+ and get 1 more 512mb Ram module more...

Shud I do it...?

 

[Hells_Fury]

Yes you should go for the extra RAM. 512 MB is not enough.

But tell me one thing...are you a serious gamer? If not, then you dont need the RAM.

 

[Thor]

I'll let u know what is my present config
Intel Celeron 1.01 GHz
Kobian 815e MoBo
256MB SD RAM
SamSung CDRW
LiTeon DVD ROM
LG StudioWorks 454v
Seagate 80GB HDD

and.. GF4 MX 400 64MB...from smedia..

Thus..I'm unable to play any of the recent games...but i definitely njoi playing game.
That is why i'm getting this new rig.
While I will not go as far as to say that I wanna be a hardcore gamer...i'll definitely be a 'Gamer'...

.....Tnks 4 ur reponse....I'll get 512 MB DDR stick...

 

[Hells_Fury]

Cool...Good choice.
