[detonator2359]

hi frnd's m a bit confused wich mobo should i go for with
AMD ATHLON X4 940
I CAN GO UPTO A 15,000 MOBO

 

[desiibond]

ASUS has released new mobos supporting DDR3 memory and lot of features.

ASUS M4A78-PRO : should be around 8k
ASUS M4A78T-E: Should be around 10k

 

[detonator2359]

ddr3 r quite costly corsair 3gb ddr3 ram is costin abt 7500rs

should i go for ddr3 or ddr2 ram..??
is ddr3 prices supposed to go down...?????

 

[desiibond]

I would say go for DDR2

My option would be Intel Core2Quad+DDR2+P45 chipset+HD4850

 

[damngoodman999]

AMD athlon ??? 940 ???


ok its phenom - the mobo is ASUS M4A78T-E would best for OCing ,, go for it

 

[detonator2359]

i don't wanna go for intel one i already have a
i7 920
gigabyte x58
corsair 3gb 1600mhz ram
hd 4830

i want a AMD based comp for hardcore gamin

 

[damngoodman999]

[detonator2359]

give me a config on AMD base CPU for Only Gaming purpose upto 40,000

AMD Phenom X3 720 Black Edition - ~8K
Biostar 790GX CorssFireX motherboard - 6K
Transcend DDR2 800MHz Value RAM - 2GB + 2GB kit - ~4K

Remaining components - do you have anything else already with you ? like keyboard,mouse,monitor,PSU,gpu, etc from old rig usable here ?

MSI K9v2 790FX

This costs Rs. 9000

It supports :-
DDR2 1066MHz
CrossfireX 16x + CrossfireX 16x

 

[MetalheadGautham]

Dual CF 16x ???
That makes it future proof for HD5870X2.
Wait a sec, is it SB750 southbridge ???

 

[comp@ddict]

^^I think so yes, bcuz 790FX and 790GX both come with SB750.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

wrong.

all early (aka cheap) 790FX boards had SB600.
not every board was revised with SB750.

 

[detonator2359]

how abt AMD X4 940....instead of x3 720

ya i have everything else ....

 

[MetalheadGautham]

720 is better if you want to overclock. Its cheaper, supports DDR3 so you can upgrade motherboard later, is a champion overclocker and rocks at gaming since they are all dual core optimised anyway (2 cores for gaming and 1 core for OS makes 3-core kick ass).

 

[comp@ddict]

^^ Hmm, yes you must be right.

Whatever you do, if you want overclocking, get a Black Edition CPU.

Non B.E. CPUs don't OC well as you cannot even increase the Voltage afaik.
