-intel processor 2.8HT is no more available in the market now if i m not wrng..u can go for Intel P4-LGA 2.8GHz 533MHz,1MB,Non-HT-4900rs,or better Intel - HT P4-LGA 3.0GHz 800MHz,2MB,LGA-HT-8050rs.
-512 DDR2 667Mhz arnd 3k may b less.
-945G with onboard GPU-ARND 6K,or 945P widout Onboard GPU..this shud b a better option if u plannin 2 go for a dedicated GPU.
-i wont suggest u COMBO drive...instead get a seperate DVD-ROM & CD-RW.(SONY,LITEON)
-300W SMPS is not at all enough..better get a 400w atleast,Powersafe 1.4k,antec arnd 3k.
-Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 793S 17"-6.4K
-go for SATA instead of that barricuda.price diff is marginal.Seagate SATA 160GB 3.8k.
-LOGITECH KB & Optical mouse .8k
-Altec Lansing ATP3 2.1-2.8k
-Atleast 600va UPS...800va will b gr8..betta backup.
-i'll suggest u to go for 6600nu instead of 6200.

I think u should go for a DVD writer instead of a CD Writer ...

Go for Benq or Liteon

 

[ashfame]

guys, i need a pc for my friend.
he has quoted a gaming pc for 35k including my profit.
suggest me a one that is @ mid level with above config.
@aniruddh
i want 6600 not 6200.
@royal
read with your eyes open.

@ashfame...

Why the inclination towards Intel huh?? For gaming & other purposes also, AMD processors have shown far better results...

As for Mid Range, check out the following Config & enquire about the rates, I am sure it shall be within 35 Ks

Processor: AMD 3200+/3000+
MotherBoard: ASUS A8N VM / ASUS A8R MVP
MSI RS 482 IL (With on-board GFX solution *cheaper*)
MSI K8N
RAM 512 or 2*512 Corsair/ Transcend/ Hynix(less preferable)
CD-RW / DVD ROM (Preferable to go in for 2 separate ones): SONY/ Liteon
HDD: SATA Seagate 80GB/ 160 GB
GFX: NVedia 6600 256 MB
Monitor: LG/ Samsung
Keyboard/ Mouse: Logitech
SMPS: 400 W Powersafe
Cabinet: Intex/ i-Ball
UPS: 600 VA powercom
Speakers: 2.1 Logitech

The above config in Nagpur comes out to around 38 Ks...The rates shall be far lesser in a place like Mumbai & the package should come within 35000.

Peace

HK

@h_kunte

suggest only intel processors @ 533Mhz not @ 800Mhz. fsb
Make it as cheap as possible.

1-AMD64 3000+ (939 soc)=6k MAX
2-Asus A8N-VM/CSM=4/4.5k
3-2*256 DDR 400MHz RAM (kingston,Transcend)=2.6k

suggest only intel processors & mobo with ddr2 ram support.
what about gpu 6600?

 

[ashfame]

All right, i have decided to buy the following:
1. Processor: P4 HT 3.0Ghz (1MB, 800Mhz FSB, Socket478 )
>>What Socket 478 means?<<
>>Anyone who can quote its price for it in delhi !<<
2. Intel Mobo (onboard sound, LAN card & a pci-e 16x slot & DDR2 ram compilant)
>>Suggest one compatible with above processor<<
3. Samsung SyncMaster 793S 17" CRT
4. Keyboard & Mouse (Logitech)
5. nVidia 6600 graphics card (pci-e 16x)
>>Whats the difference in it & its gt variant?<<
>>Also the price difference?<<
6. HDD 7200rpm 120-160GB
>>Suggest the cheapest one !<<
7. FDD
8. DDR2 Ram (1x512)
>>Which brand is the best?<<
9. Dual Layer DVD writer
>>Suggest the cheapest one !<<
10. Cabinet with 400W SMPS
>>Cheapest<<
11. UPS 800VA
>>Which brand is the best?<<

Components that i have quoted for being cheapest should also be satisfactory reliable!!

That's a prescott and its known for its thermal problems. The stock heat sink fan sounds like Su-30's thrust vectored engines. I have a 2.8E and feel that i'm working near a runway

So suggest a good processor similar to it.

 

[mod-the-pc]

@ashfame - a socket 775 processor would be better i feel though i've not used one till now. Maybe some other board member who's using that can confirm

 

[deathvirus_me]

Hmm ... the p4 stock cooler is quite noisy .. but thats the case only when it reached 4k's rpm ... if u keep it around 3.5k's the sound is barely audible .... better case cooling will surely make this possible ...

[ashfame]

Guys read previous posts carefully.
My friend is insisting on intel processors & mobo.
Don't suggest amd's
OK,
as mod_the_pc said to go for socket 775 processor.
@ mod_the_pc
Suggest one by the name.
@ deathvirus_me
how much cooling cost would heat up the price?

And can anyone tell me whats the diff. in P4 series & D series?
Hurry up.
I need to assemble my friends computer in two days!!

Useless Post.
If further AMD posts are posted then they all will be reported.

 

[ashfame]

Wht about this:
Intel Pentium D 805 Dual Core Processor (2.66 GHz, 2MB, 533MHz FSB, Socket 775)
Also suggest a mobo for it.
(mobo with onboard lan card & sound card & ddr2 compliant ram)
Pl also explain fsb details.

And will the above processor work on a mobo with 1066 Mhz fsb. (Intel D945GNTLKR Motherboard)
Does it has a pci-e 16x slot for nvidia 6600 & support for ddr2 ram sticks.
is there any variant of above processor for 1066Mhz fsb.
Urgent!!

 

[ashfame]

Can Intel D915GUXL Motherboard accommodate the Intel Pentium D 805 Dual Core Processor (2.66 GHz, 2MB, 533MHz FSB, Socket 775)
