Thanks for the reply..

but i don wan to spend more than 3k on graphics card.. as i mentioned in the beginning .. i dont play games all d time...

@topgear

if i go for HD4650 512mb which one i should select out of listed models in this site???

*wheretobuy.amd.com/us-en/gpus.html#PC
/Mac=PC|||Model=ATI%20Radeon%20HD%204650

and what would be the system requirements for that ? and also compatibility with other components ? like as surinder mentioned that we can not go with 9500GT 512MB DDR2 with some kind of displays ..

im planing to go with HD4650 512mb .. need ur guidelines

If you don't want to spend more than 3K then palit 9500GT 512MB DDR3 is your best bet. It's Rs. 3.3K.

You can use any kind of display/monitor with 9500GT provided your monitor has a DVI/VGA adaptor/port.

If your mobo has one pci-e x16 slot & you have AMS x2 4800+ or Intel Dual core e2200 with 1GB DDR2 ram atleast you are good to go with 9500GT/HD4650/4670

BTW, what's your mobo & cpu & how much ram do you have ?

HD 4650 is some 4K & HD4670 is 4.5K. Both are from palit with 512MB DDR3.

thanks for ur info..

hmm i have not bot MOBO or PROC or RAm i am going to build new system.. i am planing for asus MOBO and amd x2 or x3 and ram minimum 3gb ddr2 .. can u susgest me proper MOBO and proc ? and i am planing to get HD4650 from USA ,, i think price is less there compare to india.. i want to finalise the configuration and it depends on graphics card..

Thanks

Phenom X2 550 proc & Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H mobo with 2x 1GB corsair DDR2 Ram should cost you just Rs. 11.5K.

& if you are going to get the HD4650 from US then get HD4670 instead. It's better than HD4650 & the price is a little higher.

But as you have not build your system yet I would recommend to go with palit 9600Gt @ Rs. 4.7K. It can beat HD4650 & HD4670. For PSU get CoolerMaster 460W extreme power plus @ Rs. 2.5K

Sorry for recommending Intel - but i dunno any other.
Intel Core2Quad Q8200 - 8650
ABIT IP35E - around 5k I guess
2x2GB transcend/kingston 800mhz RAM - 2.4k
Seagate 7200.11 1 TB (ya go for 1tb or higher) - 4.5k
PALIT 9600GT - ???? K (only palit, as other are too costly for the slight improvement in performance)
UPS - Microtek Double Battery 800VA
Power supply - Zebronice Platinum 400 Watts (i'm using the same combo of 9600gt + zebronice platinum 400w - so far no problem)
THE BEST PART OF THE PC - MONITOR - Dell 2209WA -16k /G2412HD - 12k /E2400HD - 22k (i guess)
MICROSOFT KEYBOARD / MOUSE
Logitech Z5500/ Altec Lansing vs3251/ Altec Lansing MX 5021 / Altec Lansing BSR1121

If you don't have enough money - don't buy the monitor now. Wait for some time and buy a good monitor. these CPUs MOBOs are not to be worried about. I'm still using the D930 proc and 945GNTL board and i've got no regrets with it. And i'm able to watch even 1080p videos - thx to my 9600GT GPU!
And the processor that we are seeing now are WAYYYY ahead of my and ur present config - it'll blast thru ur apps, games etc.,
The only thing is monitor - if u don't get a nice one, u'll regret it for ur lifetime

 

[desiibond]

emmarbee,

Q8200 is a dud
Abit IP35-E. is this still available. I heard that abit stopped mobo business
7200.11 is a bit scratchy. you never know when it fails
Microtek UPS? seriously?

BTW, with Intel moving to new socket very soon, isn't it better to go for AM3 based rig from AMD as it is going to stay for some time (lot more time than core2 lineup) or else for higher end, go for Core i7.

 

[happy20b]

ok i will go for ASUS ATI Radeon HD 4670 (EAH4670/DI/512M) 512MB PCIe x16 2.0 and will go for 2gb 800mhz so wat will b d supporting MOBO and AMD cpu .. please keep it within my budget and wat abt samsung 22" monitor or benq 22" HD series ?

Kingston 2b Ram DDr2 800 Value- 1050 Rs
Western Digital - 500 Gb hard disk - 2700 Rs. (5 yrs warranty from home)
Leadtek S-Fan pipe 9600 GT Extreme . - 5500 Rs (Only if you need a graphic Card for gaming).
Cooler Master Real Power Pro 460 W - 3500 Rs (Expensive but saves Power and provide reliablity).
Navtech - 701 Cabinet. 1900 Rs. (1200 mm Side and Rear fan (Blue Led) with transparent side. Excellent built quality with LCD scren in front with 4 USB ports) Yo7u can go for cheaper Cabinets.

Western Digital Caviar Green WD5000AACS 500GB 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive.

 

[blackbird]

green will save some watts and will be lot silence

 

[topgear]

@ happy20b - even if you are not going to use those mobo features quality, chipset, price & performance wise it's the best VFM thing you can get.

BTW, what's your budget for mobo+proc ?

Go with Western Digital Caviar Green 500GB one. But I personally prefer seagate 7200.12 500GB drives with 16MB cache.

For rams mushkin will give you more performance @ stock but they will not OC well.

Corsair Rams will give slightly less performance but their OC potential is much higher than mushkin. So if you want to OC your Rams thet go for corsair. You can even run them @ 1066Mhz !!

I used to recommend E8400 - but after seeing others preferring a quad over dual; i stopped recommending e8400 except for gamers.

Abit IP35-E - I had bought about 2 months ago - dunno abt its availability now.

7200.11 - is super speed that y i'm recommending that to everybody; But i've heard a lot of complaints from SG users lately. If there is an alternative in WD - then WD it is.

S - Microtek - just because it has longer backup time cause of its double battery. if the user wants RELIABLE but SHORT TIME backup, then APC.

Who cares abt the socket being outdated(cause no one's gonna upgrade their mobo alone)? If you get a blazing CPU and matching mobo - u can have that until the next gen arrives. After that we have to get rid of both and switch on to the latest socket.

What else???

sory to ask this question .. what is OC ?

so which 1 you sugest ? out of above two RAMS?

i will go for 500gb WD C green..

Thanks everybody for your valuable replies.

 

[yiouyio]

You should choose a MOBO which support DDR3 RAM.

 

[desiibond]

@happy20b, OC means overclocking, where you increase the clock of your processor/ram/gpu. refer to wikipedia article or overclock.net for more info on this.

I would pick Corsair

@emmarbee,

regarding socket getting outdated, I have seen many who simply upgraded their processors without changing mobo and ram because of having am2/am2+ boards. But if you pick am2/am2+ board now, there is no way that you can do a processory only upgrade after a year or two.

Be it AMD or Intel, they are on the verge of platform shift. (amd to am3 and intel to lga1166 something) This is a wrong time to upgrade to older generation socket. Moreover MSI has released a new am3 board for 6k that supports DDR3 ram and transcend has DDR3 1333MHz ram avaialble for 2k. Why not upgrade to am3+ddr3 now?
