Hi,
I will be buying my new rig very soon this month.
I need a decent IGP for the time being since I will buy a good graphics card after 4-5 months.
I found these 3 models by looking up some older topics:
Biostar TA785G3 HD 4.5k
GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT-US2H 4.5k
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H 4.5k (I think radeon 4250 is better than 4200.Is it worth it?)
790 seems very expensive. Coudn't find any cheap models.
(Very limited models are available on the online dealers sites. Not sure about the prices.)
Are these the only ones worth considering?
Please fill the following -
1. What is the purpose of the computer?
Gaming
Surfing
Dowloading
Watching Movies
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
A:Yes i will, if they have similar features
3. What is your MAX budget?
A:4k or less is perfect. I'm willing to go upto 5.5k only if the benefit is worth it.
4. Planning to overclock?
A:I'm open to it. Overclocking my future athlon II x4 635 to 3+ghz would be nice.Not a necessity though.
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
A:Windows XP sp2 for another year.
7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen you want?
A:I will be buying a 22inch dell/samsung or benq. So 1920x1080.
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
A:5
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
A: This will be my first custom build.
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
A:In the next 10 days.
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
A: I don't need usb3 or sata3. I don't mind if it's included without extra cost.
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
A:Will be buying from Mumbai. Open to buying from online shops.
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
-Should I go for a decent IGP motherboard till get a GPU OR should I get a cheaper Non-IGP board with a low end cheap graphics card (2k) until I buy a good GPU later?
-If you know of any alternate/better models in the same price range, please mention them.
-Between Giga and Bio who is the most reputed service and warranty wise?
-Any specific model ddr3 Ram to pair with the board? Corsair or Gskill. Quality,Warranty and Service is important.
GB(2*2) G. Skill F3-10600CL9S-2GBNT DDRIII-5200rs or 10666 .Should I choose a different one?
Thanks.
