Couldn't find d board at itwares,techshop.in n others!!Some(infact most) boards listed at newegg site dun even hit d Indian shore so look at d indian sites 1st n c if d boards r listed on any of 'em.

hey guys , here at my place several retailers told that prices of hardwares have been increased . so i am thinking about buying BIOSTAR - TA785G3 HD .
would i be able to play latest games at resolution and settings ?

 

[ssb1551]

nope!!In order to play latest games at high(I assume even though you haven't mentioned) resolutions & settings you oughta have a decent GPU like HD5770.
IGP will only let you play at lowest resolution & settings.

 

[siddarthmallya]

i mean at low resolution and settings ?


what is the price range of BIOSTAR TA785G3 HD ?

 

[ssb1551]

Yups..you can play at low resolution & settings.

That MoBo is for a little less than 4k at techshop.in!!Better than the Biostar MoBo is the Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H which is for around 4.5k.

 

[coderunknown]

that board is discontinued now. so finding locally or online maybe a tough task.

 

[ssb1551]

sam - 'm confused!!Which board are you talking about?The Giga 1 or Biostar?

 

[siddarthmallya]

Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H
price of this mobo is 5.2 k at my place .

is there much difference betw 4250 and 4200 graphics chip ?

 

[ssb1551]

Not much of a difference between those 2.
Order the Giga MoBo from SMC.According to Jas they sell it around 4.5k.

 

[coderunknown]

Biostar. many have mentioned earlier that the board no longer available.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

moreover dont get the biostar ta880gb+ also. according to digit review the build quality is not nice. get gigabyte. order it online. enquire from smcinternational.

there is a major flaw in Gigabyte 880g based mobo(the one with usb3 and sata 3 features)

there are 5 sata ports(exposed) on the boards
and 3 of them gets covered under the graphic card

NOW...it totally depends on the graphic card length
@sammy&jassy....u remember hdknitro who recently bought 6870.....he is going through this problem
he even tried those T shaped connectors which help to resolve these kinda situations
but that didnt work either ....coz the sata wires were too much bend while using T connectors

if the user is intended to use only 2 sata ports...then its fine...otherwise it would be trouble for him if he chooses a card of length>9 inch

 

[ssb1551]

^^You can't do much about these problems,can you?
Hey what about an alternate option for the Giga board?like MSI 880GM-E41..

 

[Piyush]

dont know about e41
but e45 has all the port on the edge of the board
so no problem of this type

 

[siddarthmallya]

biostar ta785g3hd is not available now . i am confused i want a 785g chipset motherboard of range rs 3500 - 4100

what about ECS motherboards ? are they good ?

at rs 4600 range
which is good ?

msi 785gm-p45 or

biostar 880gb+ or

GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H

 

[siddarthmallya]

Guys , i have increased my budget and now it is 14000.
I have decided to buy

AMD athlon x4 635 Rs 5.2 k
Kingston 2 GB ram Rs 2150
500GB hard disk Rs 1950
and
motherboard Biostar TA880GB+ Rs 4650

Is there any better Motherboard at this range ?

 

[Antonykraj]

hi i completed my rig assembling it yesterday
Maybe this would be of some use for you
The final config
Amd Athlon ii x4 635 - Rs.4700
Asus m4a78lt-m-le - Rs.2750
Corsair vs2gb1333d3 *2 - Rs.3800
Corsair vx450 - Rs.3400
Seagate 1 tb 7200.12 - Rs.2750
Cooler Master Elite 330 - Rs.2200

Im expecting a price drop of graphic cards so going to get ati5770 in a month or so when the price drops.
I decided to go for 760g than 880g due to the price difference of Rs.2100.
Both the motherboards has sb710 chip.
Since im going to use a graphic card, the integrated chip is not of any use. so the money i save here can be used for the graphic card

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

AVOID the biostar ta880gb+. according to digit review the build quality is not nice. get gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H. order it online. enquire from smcinternational.

 

[Antonykraj]

My revised suggestion for you
Amd Athlon ii x4 635 - Rs.4700
Asus m4a78lt-m-le - Rs.2750
Corsair vs2gb1333d3 - Rs.1650
Seagate 500 tb 7200.12 - Rs.1750
Asus hd5450 EAH5450 SILENT- Rs.3650
The total comes to Rs.14500

The discrete graphic card hd 5450 is way better than integrated gpu in 880g.
Both the motherboards have sb710 southbridge.
So i think you could go for this config.
