[spikygv]

@comp@ddict , the guru3d review also had all settings maxed out.Anyway , you seem quite happy with x4 620. So , get it.

 

[comp@ddict]

Yes, I'm happy with the X4 620. I'll surely OC it to 3GHz no doubt hehe....

OKAY, so MOBO is this:--

GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT-UD2H AM3
*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128397

Can I confirm this? I want to order today itself if possible or tomorrow(tomorrow, HD5800 release yippie!!!)

And RAM IS THIS:-
*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148261 - Crucial
or
*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227346 - OCZ

Better than your Gigabyte board as it is full ATX @ around the same price.

Crucial RAM as it is 1333MHz over OCZ's 1066MHz.

 

[desiibond]

^^bingo.

how come I missed this???

@compaddict, go for that board. it costs 99$ and has

10 phase power supply
Full ATX form factor with CF
sideport memory
Expressgate
All High-quality Conductive Polymer Capacitors

For 99$, it's a big big steal!!!

 

[Krow]

^Yeah, I was actually wondering how you missed it! On your recommendation Xeno bought it and his details now read :

AMD = Aaja Meri Darling

Beautiful board. Nice find desii!

 

[Xeno]

LOL yep loving the Athlon II X4 620 quad core ! and will "try" to overclock the proccy after throughly reading the stuff. ASUS seems to have provided a very easy utility to OC.

Proccy temp doesnt go above 33*C under normal usage for continuous 5-6 hrs
willl post pics soon

Have a look at this guys. I will order HD5850 tomorrow alongwith the 3 other newegg orders, and the rest of the config from lynx-india, including cabinet.

Okay, but which cabinet among these?

*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119077

or

*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146055

 

[desiibond]

with no side fan duct, I wouldn't go for CM centurion.

how about this:

*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119047

and this:

*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042

and this:

*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137

make sure that these have good length

 

[comp@ddict]

Nah..I'm not too worried...I will install a fan if I have too but that Cooler Master case I have given, i kinda want it real bad, especially for that side transparent part.....hehe....

So how does the rig shape up eh? Finally CRYSIS maxed out on HD5850.....

 

[desiibond]

oooh. ok. why not cm 690 then. centurion looking bit outdated? noticed one nzxt tyhat looked sexy with transparent side panel

 

[comp@ddict]

Ahh...you mean this??

Okay I'll consider this too. Asking KMD for price of each...

*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146050

 

[Krow]

Thats one hell of a cabinet. Go for it if it suits your budget.

 

[asingh]

^^ Remember one thing, about transparent cabinets.

A hell of a lot light leaks through, at night when you are trying to sleep via the motherboard LEDs and FAN LEDs.

You can de - solder, or cover with tape, or cover the side panel with cloth at night...!

 

[Krow]

^But OP might like the showoff for his SHOWOFF thread.

 

[desiibond]

yes. that's the one.

 

[topgear]

@ comp@ddict - get asus M4A785TD-V EVO and CM690 with Transparent side panel

If you want further show-off and OC capability get CM hyper 212 as it has one 120mm blue led fan which just looks amazing through transparent side panel

 

[comp@ddict]

K, if i had such a budget, iw ud scrap them and get Core i7, but no i dunt have such a budget.....hehe....

But here's the good news, HD5850 price is said to be 269$ and not 299$, HD5870 at 379$....wow..

 

[desiibond]

^^ hehe. okay. so, did you finalize the config?

 

[comp@ddict]

kinda.....only the Cabby is left....and if the budget exceeds too much...i will scrap and get a mATX board itself....else it's pretty much the one i've posted here.....


EDIT:-
guys finalize the cabby, within 4k, from India(newegg import too costly becuz cases are heavy)..............
