I will not OC. I dont know abt graphic cards.Do they consume that much power? Now i manage my p3+ 1hdd+512 Sdram+1 cd rw with 250w PSU. anyway i will buy gfx card if i need it for any application like CAD. How much power it needs i dont know.
Regarding writer i want a DVD & CD combo RW. which company is good? can i cut short on RAM by getting 1 single stick? how much will it effect performance? any other refining required.plz suggest.
@NucleusKore
Thanx .But i have decided on intel setup already
if u will not OC ..then that mobo is good enough for u ....and actually gfx card the higher end ones consume considerable power ... just to show u how much they use the power ...look here
*www.legitreviews.com/article/486/15/
and i m not talking about 250 W power supply ..i m talking average power supply u get with ur cabinet ..thats more than enough for ur use ...i m talking about zebronics 450W that comes with the cabinet is more than enough ...though i don't know if maharaja comes with it ...but they are enough for ur system ...a good higher performance power supply is required for higher system performance ..when u add a high performing gfx card and overclock ur CPU ..
having said that i m not saying going for CMextreme 460W is bad idea ..its good thing if u can afford it ...but in ur case i think u can spend that money somewhere else ..may be save and get 19" LCD .....
since u don't want a gfx card i don't think there is any point suggesting u the option of MSI P45 neo ...cos its not worth since u are not going to overclock ...
go for the mobo u have chosen mobo the G45 chipset based and lateron buy a gfx card when u need and a 19" LCD ...(not 17" CRT )
if u only want to go for CAD i don't think u will ever need a gfx card the onboard gfx of G45 chipset is good ..GMA X4500 can do a lot for u ..... and if i were u ..i would save on PSU and gfx card and get 19" LCD (i know i m saying it again and again ..but they are going to be quite a standard soon so please consider them)
regarding DVD writer i guess go for moserbear/Liteon ones they don't face any problem so far i have heard ....don't go for sony and samsung ..they have countless issues ....i have an asus one its works fine for me
go for a single stick now ...as going for two stick will simply take up space and lateron will make them obsolute since ...memory is getting cheaper ..go for transcend 800 MHz 2Gb ...well nothing much performance difference since both are
almost same ...but adding 2GB stick now will be better idea cos later on when u have money u can add 2GB more ...and thus u will be utilising full 8Gb some day and nothing will go waste ..
all this consedring u are not for MSI neo P45 ....since u don't need a gfx card but if u are going then i think its wise to go for Asus 8600GT 256 MBDDR3 @3k rather than 7200gs ...anyday ...
