[Help Needed] Buying New PC Configuration

[srch07]

I was opting to buy for J.Singh configuration with slight modification

Intel® Core™ i5 2400 Processor @ 9.6K
Intel DH67CL @ 6.5K
Corsair DDR3 1333Mhz 2*4GB @ 4.6k
Sapphire HD6850 TOXIC @ 10.9k
Seagate 500GB 7200.12 @ 1.7k
MoserBear SATA DVD @ 1k
Seasonic s12II Bronze 520w @ 4.2k
NZXT GAMMA @ 2k
Benq G2220HD @ 7.3k // Dell ST2220L @ 8.5k
Logitech MX518 @ 1.2k
Logitech KB-200 @ 0.4k
APC 800VA @ 3.5k
Altec Lansing VS2621 @ 1.6k

Total - 52k

Any Chance of wrapping it under 50k?
Also, if anyone can suggest me a good dealer in Bhubaneshwar (Orissa).

One more thing, Why are people in forum saying to go for LED Monitors instead of LCD. For me 19 inch Monitor is enough, but i want FULL HD and hence, unable to find one at that screen, so, opted for BENQ.

Any changes you guys suggest to above.

Last thing, please suggest the alternative for motherboard and graphics card, with same performance and range, am a bit confused i'll find them in local here.
=======================
Note:- I already Have One Seagate 500GB harddisk from old pc, and 1 each of wifi card and tv tuner... so the PSU shall be able to bearup the load. I may like to add New Card to my Board as SLI, so uggest accordingly.

compromise on HDD capacity but not on psu.

also i will highly recommend you to wait for sandy bridge.

@ OP - Dude I'm from BBSR too!!!Kewl!!one more member from my place.
Hey which shop are you planning to buy all these stuff from in BBSR?
You can get the CPU from either Tanisha e-World or systems world or Ashirbad or even IT Shoppe.But what about MoBo??Rarely any of these shops keep Giga/MSI.You'll only get basic models for AM3 from Ashirbad or Nigama.
Oh & 1 more thing - Sapphire 6850 in BBSR!!I would say forget it!!Order it online.
The same goes for Corsair RAM,PSU & the cabinet.
Have you talked to any dealer yet?

 

[srch07]

Thats surprising,
even my hometown guys keep gigabyte mobo.
BTW wht u meant by CPU man, if they wont hv, Mobo, psu,ram,gc.
Anyways am gng for a quick survey 2day hopefuly n i guess, they won't hv problem to bring stufs if i ask so.
Else i always hv online open.

 

[ssb1551]

I meant they have the Intel i5 CPU but not Giga n MSI MoBos.They do have Intel MoBos though.Asus seems to be their favorite too.But Asus RMA is being handled by Rashi over here.
In RAM you can find only Zion & A-Data among good ones.I don't trust other brands' RAM.No Corsair,GSkill or even Kingston DDR3 RAM.I bought my 2nd one online.Its Corsair.
In PSU you'll find only generic or el cheapo ones like Zebronics 450W/500W/600W & CM extreme.No Corsair or FSP or Seasonic or Silverstone or Tagan.I bought FSP online.
Oh & don't even get me stated on GPUs.Most of the shops don't keep GPUs which cost more than 10k.A few days back I was inquiring about 5770.Most of the shops didn't have it.Only one guy told me he could get it from me but it'll take a week or 2 & that too it was highly overpriced,8.7k.Thats the scenario here.

 

[srch07]

Weird,
wel i am nt making 2nd thoughts on config.
So, am gonna buy it online or offline
For cabinet, no strains, but no compromises on performance components.

 

[ssb1551]

Hey do temme which shops you went to & the components available.I only know shops in Saheed Nagar.

 

[vickybat]

@ srch07

Hello and welcome to tdf buddy. By the way i am from cuttack(not far from bbsr). For corsair rams and smps, order online or ask some relatives to get them for you if they stay outside in metros.

For cabinet, you can buy coolermaster from bbsr. The distributor is abacus peripherals , same guys who distribute zion rams. Even saphire is not available due to lack of distributors so order that online from smc international.

But i agree with jaskanwar singh and suggest you to wait a bit for the upcoming sandybridge proccesors. They will be much powerfuls than today's i7's and i5's( bloomfields and lynnfields).

 

[srch07]

Well i went to shops near patia.
Only good they said was seagate 1 tb @ 2450.
Their price 4 altec vs2621 is 2600, lamers.
Thanks 4 info vicky, but those processors wil be launched @ 15k i guess n wil take around 1 mnth 2 to lower dwn price. 2 mnths, too lng 4 me.
Btw wht shall i do with this motherboard.
where to get one, also suggest me some eq one.
What bout monitor, posible to get here?

 

[vickybat]

@ srch07

I strongly suggest you to wait for sandybridge to be available in the state. Contact reddington for availability of sandybridge processors. I will PM you their number so don't worry. Their performance is overwhelming and when overclocked , goes out of the roof.

Altec lansing vs2621 is available for 2k in TARGOUS TECHNOLOGY . Contact shops near vani vihar university.

Check if the seagate harddisk is version 7200.12 and not 7200.11(these have issues).

 

[srch07]

I read the testing reviews, on some thread here of sandy processors.
Vicky mind pming me a list of few good shops n their location in bbsr, n wht shal ur guess say, hw lng wil it take sandy processors 2 be under 10k here
Oh ya n monitor,mobo thing too

 

[ssb1551]

You went to Patia??Dude you should have gone to Saheed Nagar as mentioned by vickybat.The exact location is shops all around Hotel Meghdoot(Hope you know where Meghdoot is).You'll find all the computer hardware shops like Tanisha eWorld, Systems World, Targous, Computer House, S A Infosys, Ashirbad Computers, E-Mart 4 U & many more.
But I doubt you'll get the Giga MoBrder it online dude.
Well how much did the guy(in Patia) ask for the i5 CPU?

 

[srch07]

Chill, I work in infocity, thats the nearest one to hit.
Will check sailashree vihar and vani vihar uni. one's tomorrow or day after.
For i5 - 760 he said 9800.

Looks like in the end am gonna have 60% of stuffs buyed online... lolz

Am gonna wait 4-5 days to see result of sandy bridge..

@Vicky
those raddington ones have changed their number lolz.
I even ringed up for guwhati, ranchi and kolkata ones, either no one picked up or number doesn't exist.
Head Office of Raddington in india is at Chennai (got from intel website), and those idiots has got sick ivrs, i got fed up with there press this and that.

 

[ssb1551]

Hey that i5 price is reasonable,considering the Godforsaken place we live in.Do you want contact numbers of some of the shops in Saheed Nagar?I keep calling 'em up to know the latest prices of HDD,RAM,MoBos ..

 

[srch07]

Sure, why not...
Drop me a pm

 

[srch07]

Bumping the thread, am tired of waiting and according to this
Intel Core i5-2500, Core i5-2400 and Core i5-2300 CPU Review. Page 7 - X-bit labs

There is only slight difference between the two (2500 and 2400).

Kindly suggest to Best, i feel like ordering on sunday now (now most of the things online).

 

[vickybat]

Settle for the fastest between the two if you can afford. i5 2500 is a great cpu but if budget constraints, then settle for 2400.

 

[srch07]

Its not budget Constrain.
Problem is, that thing is not available in Indian Market still..

Any alternate Configuration you guys wana suggest?
Also, it shall be able to take load of one more 500gb seagate, wi-fi card and tv tuner.
It will be on 23 hours a day

My budget is @ 53K, removing the shipping charges

 

[vickybat]

Go for a beefier psu then. Corsair vx550 @ 4.5k or seasonic s12II Bronze 520w @ 4.2k is very good.And buy whats available currently, if you are in a hurry.

Will you be downloading a lot? If yes, then go for an atom or zacate based download rig down the line.

 

[srch07]

What is atom and zacate rig? :s
