mobo + proc + ram + hdd + gpu + cab for 13-15k??

[Piyush]

Go for Asus motherboard if Giga is not available anywhere
Asus being a little pricey has better built quality and you wont regret it

For PSU go for FSP saga II 500W
This will also handle any mid graphic card if u plan any

And regarding cabinet, if Bijli is not available, then your last shot would be CM elite 310

 

[mkumar]

Thnx.
Ok
I`ll go with Asus M4A88T-M/USB3 n FSP saga II 500W
Bewn. how about Zebronics PSU?
can u give me exact no for Phenom 955 II BE as my vendor is lil confused

Thnx in advance

 

[Piyush]

don't go for zebronics PSUs
and it is AMD Phenom II x4 955BE

 

[Akshay.live]

Actually the platinum series from Zebronics are good! Speaking from personal experience. Now on Corsair though..

 

[coderunknown]

^^ good till it works. bad after it blows up (universal truth). Platinum or Pro, i don't trust Zebronics. the Pro series was good before as it has OEM was a good one but don't know which is the current OEM.

mobo + proc + ram + hdd + psu + cab under 15k??

hmm...branded psu's should be preferred..even i have had bad experience of non-branded psu..

btw can anybody tell the difference between black edition and normal edition of phenom?? or amd named them jst to differentiate their frequencies??

 

[Cilus]

Black Edition AMD processors have unlocked multiplier. SO you can overclock them by just increasing the multiplier, no need to increase the voltage or base clock speed.

 

[bhushan2k]

ohhkk..n what about amd's FX series chipset?? despite of not having IGP, do they provide better overcloking option?? Is that why they are costlier??

 

[coderunknown]

^^ FX processor. not chipset. FX = extreme performance. much better than black edition but will be priced close to 50k (usually).

its more like Core i7 990X. extremely fast so cost a bomb.

Talking of 890FX chipset? It has more PCIe lanes compared to 890GX chipset. The high-end chipset for AMD processors. That's why it costs more. Though it lacks IGP.

As far as AMD's old FX processors are concerned - Athlon 64 FX - they were the best and the fastest processors available in the market in the old days. They had unlocked multiplier and used to cost like 40-50k. Much like Core i7-980X or 990X today. Intel Pentium 4 was a joke.

A 1.8Ghz Athlon 64 3000+ used to outperform 3.0Ghz Pentium 4.

Really no idea which n00b started this AMD processors overheating myth in India when Pentium 4 is one of the biggest overheating and power hungry chip ever produced. yes, Athlon XP used to overheat, but it still had performance to back itself up. And yes, AMD's first generation Phenom processors were crap compared to Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad.

Hi all, I also need to upgrade my Zenith P4. Purchased for 26K many many years ago. Now I want value for money and future proof system. System is basically for home use and gaming for my 9 yr old. My plan configuration was (as suggested in this thread):

Athlon II X3 440
Gigabyte GA-880GM (or GA)-UD3H (as u ppl say UD2H is not available)
Corsair Value 2X2GB DDR3 1333MHz
WDC Blue 500GB
Cooler Master Elite 310

I was thinking of going for a gfx card and cpu upgrade in future so thought of latest mobo. But now I am thinking that at that time I can upgrade mobo also so need a cheaper alternative.

need some advice.

 

[coderunknown]

^^ make a new thread please.

Back on this thread

guys...finally buying new computer..budget is 20-21k..here is config:

already bought from theitware:

Corsair 4GB XMS3 1600 (2X2GB kit) = 2300
NZXT Gamma = 2000 (bought)
Seagate 500 GB Sata 6Gbps = 1950
Asus DVD RW 24x = 1050

yet to buy:

i5 2400 + DH67DL = 14300
FSP Saga II 500w = 2350

the problem is..as i had said earlier, i have 2X40GB IDE hdds..what to do with that?? i asked many h67 models..but didn't have ide port..is there any h67 model available which has ide port?? buying pci to ide card would be costlier..

 

[ico]

IDE ports are history. You won't find IDE ports in new motherboards.

and there is no point in keeping those IDE hard disks honestly. Sell them off.

 

[Piyush]

my friend sold his 80gb IDE hdd for 1100/-
sell them off

 

[bhushan2k]

yup..better to sell them..here what i bought:

i5 2400 = 9000
Asus P8H61-M Plus2 = 3400 (intel DH67BL was exceeding budget..so preferred this great built over DH61WW)
Corsair 4GB XMS3 1600 (2X2GB kit) = 2300
FSP Saga II 500w = 2350
NZXT Gamma = 2000
Seagate 500 GB Sata 6Gbps = 1950
Asus DVD RW 24x = 1050

all games are running smoothly on mid-settings on HD 2000 graphics..
