Looking for Perfect Conf. for Core 2

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Hi Guys,

I gonna buy a new PC in just a few days when my exams Finish . Here is what i am looking for. By Budget is around 45000. I am not sure of the Prices and availability in my Area but i am just thinking of the following. Maybe you guys can help me more

I have listed some of the Prices which my VENDOR told me and would like to know at what prices they are available in your Area

1. Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 (Rs10200) or E6400 (????)
2. Intel® Desktop Board DG965WH or ASUS P5B-VM or Any Good MOBO with onbaord Graphics (Price - ??)
3. 1GB Ram 667MHZ (Rs6500)
4. 250 GB Samsung or Seagate SATA II HDD (Rs4600)
5. Sapphire ATi Redeon x1600 Pro 512MB Graphic Card (Rs - ??) Not Gonna Now but wanna know the Prices.
6. 17inch Samsung TFT (Rs10500)

Any more Personal Choices are always welcome

Why go for x1600 pro? At that price range 7600GT will be better. Additionally I do not think 17" TFT from samsung will cost only Rs.10500. A month back I enquired here, it was around Rs.15000.

 

[Sukhdeep Singh]

I personally feel that ATi are better than nVidia. Thats just my personal opinion and it is 512MB rather than 256MB, I know it wont make much of differnce because both cards churn out equal power But Your Opinion is always welcome.

Ya, i am sure it is Rs10500 for 17inch TFT though Sony one is 14000 or more. For Rs 15000 my vendor told me i could get 19inch. But i dont want 19inch.

Check this out *www.computerwarehousepricelist.com/
Deal of Today is Samsung TFT 17inch for 10500

There is nothing as ATi is better than nVidia. ATi has more drawbacks to be precise, but what finally matters is the better card.

512mb = 256mb if you can only spend 15k on a graphic card.

get a crt then.

you are not gaming, are you?

ASUS P5B-VM has no onboard graphics i think

 

[montylee]

Both DG965WH and Asus P5B-VM have onboard graphics (Intel G965 Chipset). The drivers are not upto the mark though...

 

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Any Ideas on Price of MOBO and Graphic Cards ?
__________

ASUS P5B-VM has no onboard graphics i think

LOL

P5B-VM means Socket 775 (P5), Intel G965 chipset (codenamed Broadwater), with onboard video and microATX form factor.

That's How ASUS Names it MOBO .

 

[varkey]

btw how is the mobo DG965RY and DG965WH? or is the P5B-VM better?

 

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Well i think Intel® Desktop Board DG965WH is the best choice till now

Here are Cons in Intel DG965RY (Rogers City; Classic Series)

1. no RAID
2. no S/PDIF
3. STAC9227 5.1 Ch. HD audi
Internation Retail Price - 124.99$

Whereas has Intel DG965WH (Westchester; Media Series)

1. RAID 0/1/10/5
2. STAC9271D 7.1 Ch. HD audio
3. optical S/PDIF out. Supports Intel Viiv Technology.
Internation Retail Price - 128.99$


As for P5B-VM

1. no RAID
2. no S/PDIF (need an optional bracket)
3. AD1988 7.1 Ch. HD audio
Internation Retail Price - 132.99$

I really think Intel DG965WH is the best till now but dunno if it is available in India. Shall call the Intel Office in my City the day i gonna buy though

 

[vinyas]
