[damngoodman999]

post ur budget please ,


ur config will run the games only in the low settings and resolution

 

[lethalweaponforever]

my budget--18k for CPU

 

[comp@ddict]

Yup, just give the budget, and we see u want gaming, so please.

 

[Psychosocial]

Hmm..

Intel E2180
ASUS P5K PLVM
1x2GB DDR2 667MHz Transcend RAM
250gig Seagate HDD
ASUS 8600GT 256MB GDDR3
LG H55n
Zebronics Bijli


Up your budget a lil bit and get the Zotac 9500GT AMP!

 

[damngoodman999]

Intel E7300 2.66Ghz
Gigabyte GA-EP43-S3L "P43 chipset"
Sparkle 9600GT
2 GB RAM
LG DVD RW
250 GB harddisk

5700+5200+5500+1250+1100+2100 = 20750/-

sorry the CPU budget came to 20.5K sorry but for gaming this is good

 

[lethalweaponforever]

i don't get it.....are u guys saying the config i thought of was crap!!!!!!!!!!! With the shader model 4 and all in the gpu.....it's crap??!!! i usually play at 1024x768 resolution at medium to high settings....want the pc to run games like cod 5 and burnout...

@damngood.....it's a nice config...but can i remove the gigabyte mobo and add a Zotac nForce 630i instead?? Cost of the nForce 630i in Chennai?? Availability??
I can only afford 3.2 k max. for the mobo!!!
and how much is the E7200??
and can u suggest a cheaper GPU??? I am thinking of going with the Sparkle...but still.....
Sparkle's availability in Chennai?

or how bout this config--
Intel c2d E5200
Gigabyte EG31M-S2L--G31 chipset
Transcend 2gb
Sparkle 9600GT
LG DVD/RW
Zebronics cabby with PSU
250 GB HDD

 

[damngoodman999]

^^^ , sparkle is not there go for palit 9600GT its 5600/-

there is only minor difference between E7200 & E7300

P43 chipset is latest so go it , 630i nvidia chipset is really old and not big performance

 

[foruamit2004]

@lethal ur intel config is good(i'd have suggested the same)...no idea about sparkle, palit/zotac 9600gt seems cheap and good, zebby bijili cabinet(without smps ~ 900/-) and CM 460watt PSU separately~2k..if your machene is for gaming purpose then you can't go wrong with this config..about PSU, try to get atleast CM 460 watt..if not get vip/powersafe 500 watt psu, 9600gt needs power, recommended 26amp on 12v rail...

@damngoodman999 :-

There is a Sparkle variant of 9600GT AFAIK.

There is minor difference between E5200 and E7200 too.

Infact, E5200 is just next to E7200(barely 2-3% slower), but has a high clock multiplier.

For E7200, u need 420MHz BUS to achieve 4GHZ OC, E5200 does it with 320MHz only.

So you choose - E7200 @ 5.1k or E5200 @ 3.5k

 

[lethalweaponforever]

cn u tell me where to buy the E5200 in Chennai...whenever i try to tell one of these hardware guys bout the 7200 or 5200 here they ask me the amount of Ghz and then when i tell them that they say tht Intel only makes processors tht start from 2.8ghz costing 5800!!!....so where can i find Intel E5200 in Chennai....

 

[foruamit2004]

go to delta pheripherals( www.deltapage.com , get down at egmore station, take a auto, tell him to take you to the rechie street( 1 km from railway station) , their you can ask any one where the nakoda plaza/delta shop is..infact their are so many shops that you might even negotiate for better pricing..

 

[comp@ddict]

Those shopkeepers are no-boos about technology.

 

[lethalweaponforever]

My final config....

Intel c2d E5200
Gigabyte EG31M-S2L--G31 chipset
Transcend 2gb
Palit 9600GT
LG DVD/RW
Zebronics cabby with PSU
250 GB HDD
or
mobo- Zotac geforce 8200
Proccy.-AMD Athlon X2 5200+
RAM- 2GB DDR2 800Mhz Transcend
HDD- 250 GB Seagate, 7200RPM
Drive- LG DVD/RW
GPU- Palit 9600GT
Cabby- Zebronics Bijli...

which should i go for.....Intel or AMD

 

[damngoodman999]

go with the INTEL

 

[lethalweaponforever]

thnx mateys and fellow gamerz

 

[lethalweaponforever]

can u guyz suggest a good gfx card tht will play left 4 dead at high at 1024x768 rersolution.....budget 5k

 

[sdhiraj1]

If you are going to intel don't go with G31 boards , because they have some problem in dual channel memory architecture.

And also they have ICH7 chipsets which are not good for gaming . So go for GA-EP43-S3L or any other board with ICH10 chipset .

 

[saqib_khan]

Go for Palit 9600 GT , it's around 5.5k , i think.
