Low&Tight Budget 20k(or + 2k)

[shayem]

i7-2600K worth that extra cost...else why would people go for 2600K instead of 2500K.

what about
Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3R-B3--10,750 INR(priceguide.in) any opinions...

It doesn't have onboard disply ports...so if your card don't work in future and you need to RMA it then you have to wait till card RMAed. So decide about it wisely.

For RAM get Corsair Vengence 4GB single stick. You can go for value RAM but to be in safe side with OCing Vengence is better. Else try to get 1600MHz 1.5V RAM.

For rig you are selecting FSP will not do the job. Get Corsair Tx650W or at least GS600.

@ OP - your type of work ie (3ds Max,Maya,Z-Brush,Photo shop) will benefit a lot from a multicore cpu like 2600k which is far more better than 2500k in apps which can take the advantage of multicore cpus though in gaming once OCed they both don't have much difference in performance.

why core i7 2600k is the overall champ in multicore apps - follow the this link and look at the Multi-threaded Video Transcoding H.264 (DTS5.1) to x.264 AC3 5.1 part


and there's 3 more

Core i5 2500K and Core i7 2600K review
Core i5 2500K and Core i7 2600K review

so as the core i7 2600k offers top of the line performance in SB cpu category it's worth the extra price premium.

hi
on6-6-2011

shayem

Corsair or G-Skill 1333MHz value RAM(Avoid corsair xms3).

i didn't get that point why dropped xms3...

saswat23

Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3 @ 2.3k

why he prefered above ram xms3 here...
little clarification

i have the view for RAM...

thanks alot...

In between i will go through the links posted by topgear form "guru3d.com"

thank you guys...

hi

^^topgear
thanks for the links....

can you please give links review for the motherboard which support onboard graphcs chip and for the lowest price with h67 or z68...(lowe price

i reviewed the information and concluded that without OC also the 2600k is far ahead in performance..

thanks all

ne more thing what about amd bulldozer which i heard is it out... this bull going to slash prices of intel depending its success... someone told me...

little light in this info..

 

[Cilus]

Sandy Bridge motherboard's ram slots operates on 1.5V whereas the operation voltage of XMS3 is 1.65 Volt. As a result there may be some incompatibility issues and some Sandy Bridge users have reported it.

 

[vkattunga]

ok

what about xms3 1.65volt RAM with Z68 motherboard compatibility... any links/problems..

i will go only with 1.5v RAM chips.. (1333/1600mhz)..

let have little info about any hindrances RAM compatibility with z68 mobos and RAMs limitations...

thank you...

 

[Cilus]

Buddy, Z68 is also a Sandy Bridge motherboards and has ram slot running @ 1.5V. XMS3 will create same problem as the H67 or P67 mobo.

 

[vkattunga]

ok ok...

got it...

thankyou..

can anyone let me know what about AMD bulldozer etc... for information sake(links)...


may be that can have some impact on price issue (for my purchasing intel i7-2600)

thank you ..

 

[topgear]

^^ Bulldozer is AMD's upcoming CPU targeted to compete with SB cpus and might be faster than current SB cpus but it's release date is still not clear though it will be released in next couple of months of this year for sure. After their release we might see a price cut on current SB cpu line up but by Intel has plan for releasing SB-E cpus anyway which supposed to be more powerful than current SB cpus. It's a never ending battle for top performance in the CPU world

As of now nothing beats core i7 2600k - so just get it without thinking or waiting too much

 

[vkattunga]

i am not sure to get z68 mobo, so strongly can i go with intel's DH67BL B3 now and upgrade to z68 mobo after 4/5months... little clarification.. on this issue thats what i am with...

thanks all

 

[topgear]

If you are going to get a 2600k cpu then there's no point in wasting your money on a H67 mobo which would be around ~4.5k at-least - buy adding 8/9k more you could get far more better Z68 mobos like Asus P8Z68-V ~ 12.6k.

 

[vkattunga]

yes got it but for asus mobo i read that there is some RAM compatibility problem with 2 RAM chips(4gb modules)

i don't know how much it is worth for ASUS...

i check the info and put it here abut it...

thanks

 

[saswat23]

Asus have a function called 'memok' that means any DDR3 RAM is compatible with their board..
As 'topgear' there is no point in wasting 5k now on H67. Save some more bucks and go for Z68 and use the remaining money for a good GPU.
BTW, whats your final budget now..?? Is it the same or increased.

I've not heard of any such issue and follow this link :

ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Z68 Sandy Bridge Motherboard Review - Page 9

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS P8Z68-V - mem device support tab

As a rule of thumb if you are getting the Asus P8Z68-V mobo get 2x 4GB corsair vengeance memory - 8GB of mem should be enough and vengeance is explicitly for SB cpus - so there should not be any compatibility issues.

BTW, are you getting your rig this month ??

 

[vkattunga]

ok

thank you guy s, i will phone today and plan for tomorrow for a visit for market/purchase at vijayawada...

thanks alot for such a fantastic discussions and informatin flows ...

Mybudget below ~30k..

No more thinking goinging for z68 mobo..

thanks
vish

hello

saswat23

whats your final budget now..?? Is it the same or increased.

yes it was below 30k(22k+8k then??) anyway...

still any new information thanks alot to you and all alot

vish

And for tight budget 22k

i7 2600k+intel Dh67BL---15k
plus others same(RAM/HDD/Psu)-6k
total making of budget 21k..
which good fr common person for good horse for home daily duties with little tough works..

thanks

vish

Conlcusion 1

that's the final conclusion without OC to remember under budget value of 21k

Conclusion2

Budget is upto 30k mobo changed to Asus z68

 

[Cilus]

i7 2600k+intel Dh67BL---15k

Not possible. 2600K alone cost you around 15 to 16K and I don't think there is buy processor get Motherboard for free offer going on over there.

hi

one of my sys mobo is dead(845gbv)..

so this is late for my reply to follow...

today i am going to Vijayawada so i will have market information and give advance for the config:C_masked:....

i7 2600k
Asus P8Z68-V or GA-z68A-d3h-b3
Gskill/Corsair Vengence 4gb singlestick(1333/1600mhz)
Seaget 500GB 7200.12 SATA
FPSSAGAII 500w

this is the final and expected to be in the budget below Rs.30k
thaks to all you guys...

 

[vkattunga]

hi guys i got my system still waiting to install win7
i72600k due to low availability they collected 16k
and for mobo i didnot get asus or gigabyte... tghey provided only intel dh67blb3.. for4.8k
and rams also only transcend, that too 133mhz 4+4gb 3.6k
and server cabinet as other cabinets were not available.. 2.4k(450watts only)(5fans air cooling)
Hdd seagate 7000rpm capacity500GB -1.7k
WD green 1TB -2.6k

I have to compromise for these as i had no choice..

i hope i may opt upgrade later ..

For now i have to run for my pending works.. thanks you guys for such a valuable guidance(but my bad luck and rural side living i had little chance getting what i needed..)

RAM 1333mhz mistake is 133mhz above i typed..

soon i will post images here..

 

[saswat23]

Atleast get a descent PSU now to keep your PC components safer.

 

[vkattunga]

yes thats what i am thinking....
i had a problem when i checked at the shoppe that the power cable with square connecter didn't reach the motherboard connecter after fixing MB to cabinet..
so i replaced the psu on the spot with 500watt but, it was also having shorter length cable so i replaced the psu again...

the reason for this was that the cabinet i bought is for server which have bigger boards.. that's what the shop owner said(including technicians of that shop) so as this was microatx board so the cable length is to be slightly differs from psu to psu depending on mfrs to mfrs....
so i have to go for psu with 750watt with suitable length of cable also.. which i will prefer when i go to Hyderabad....

till then i have to adjust with the hdd, dvdRW and cabinet 5fans only, nothing extra is needed till i go for extra attachments then definitely i go for higher rated psu...
as we know the i7 is low power consumer so total wattage is 250watts (100w for procy and others 150w)not more...

thanks allot you guys definitely i will keep in mind your suggestions (but depending upon availability)...

i asked for the branded psu FSP SAGAII 500W but of no use as they said their market is for general users and institutions so generally they go for 450wats maximum even for servers So they cann't even help to get one. they say the margin and sales are not good and going for higher capital is not good for their rare high end pc business...

so a place like here compromise for the best in the available source for survival is good than looking for what is not available... coming to online purchase also i have options so soon i will go for that one too... may be for z68 chip set mobo, as here they said that their distributor informed that z68 hasn't enter into Indian market yet, may be available after 2/3 months later... so i was not going to fool myself arguing this...
