Need a rig @ 28k...'.

[Arnab boss]

@desibond...dude I know athlon will do but I won't b upgrading the cpu for 3 yrs so phenom 2 will b futureproof...'

Secondly phenom 2 955 performance is better than i5.... So better stick 2 it

Lets hope 4 the best...' give some killer config guys...' budget now increased to 40k...'

 

[desiibond]

hmm.

Phenom II X4 955 BE : 9k??
ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO or MSI 790GX-G65 : 7k
Corsair VS2GB1333D3 2GB DDR3 1333MHz x2 : 6.5k
WD Black 1TB HDD: 5.5k
Corsair VX550W
Cooler Master Elite 335 or Cooler Master CM690
dvd burner
logitech k/b and mouse
Leadtek or Pinnacle Vista media center kit (check if it works for windows 7)
APC 1.1KVA UPS: 5.5k
wait for HD5750 to get cheaper (a month or two) and grab it. till then 785G or 790GX should be good for mid level gaming

 

[vickybat]

Can a corsair vx 450 handle the above rig along with an apc 650va ups?

 

[Krow]

For a cheaper alternative to the mobo, check out MSI 785G EM65 @ 5.2k, comes with 1xPCI-E x16 and 4 X DDR3 RAM slots. Really great mobo. My friend got it today.

 

[VarDOS]

Phenom X2 550 BE
Biostar TA790GX a3+
Corsair XMS3 2 GB DDR3
500 GB Seagat Barracuda
CoolerMaster 330 Elite
Zebronics 550 PRO

Till Now It Gets 21k

Rest money invest in gud GFX card, Speakers and KB+Mouse

Biostar TA790GX a3+ have SB750 chipset which has ACC (AMD overdrive support), So Can Unlock the x2 To x4 And overclock Like Hell coz of BE processor.

Thanks dude for pointing it out.

[Krow]

^Yes, That's the one mate.

 

[Arnab boss]

Well guys thanks 4 ur replies...' by the way how is gigabyte ga ma785gmt - ud3h...? will it work fine with phenom 2 955 cpu...?

Abt psu Corsair vx550 or tx 750... As I will b xfire it later...'

May b hd 5770 or 5850...'

 

[Krow]

^It will work very well, but I suggest you look for MSI 785GM-E51 @ 4.6k or E65 @ 5.2k. Crossfire... Hmmm... From what I can figure out, its not worth it to crossfire any card, best get the fastest single GPU rather than CF. I would wait for Fermi before buying a GPU. But if you still wanna buy and CF later, then go for Corsair TX650 as it is more than enough for CF. Also, have a look at the HX620W, which is modular.

 

[Arnab boss]

Well guys my final setup...'

Amd phenom 2 x4 955 b.e @ 8.6k..

Gigabytes ga ma785gmt - ud3h... @ 8k...

Corsair ddr3 1333mhz 2gb ....?

Corsair vx 550 or tx 650 ....?

1 tb hdd seagate or wd black...?

wireless keyboard and mouse logitec / microsoft ....?

Cooler master 690 side transparent @ 4.9k ...'

2 optical dvd rw @ 2k

gpu ill buy later.... As the prices get stable...hd 5850 or gts 260....'

how's the config guys any change needed then suggest it...' and the price updates of the abv left blank...'

PSU:
Corsair VX450: RS. 3990 (corrected as per below : Hellstorm)
Corsair TX650: RS. 6930
By the way you are thinking of getting a GPU in the future, a TX650 would be better.

RAM:
Corsair TWIN3X2048-1333C9 (2x1GB) / 1333Mhz: RS. 2888
HDD:
Western Digital - WD1001FALS: RS 5670
Mouse/Keyboard:
Just allocate ~RS.1500, you can get both in this. Mouse would be wireless.

Good choice for CPU/Motherboard...!

Note:
All prices as per Lynx, without TAX

You sure you mean VX550W at 4k? VX450W comes at that price. VX550W is around 5.7k now!
Western Digital FALS street price is higher than that. Got the price from Prime ABGB as 6.5k.
For DDR3 RAM minimum 1666MHz!

Sorry ya...it is VX450W at the price I mentioned.

This is what I saw for the WDC HDD. I always found ABGB to be higher priced than Lynx.

And this is what I saw for the RAM. DDR3 is available at 1333 Mhz speed.

Getting from the shop is a cheaper alternative normally! Their prices are always cheaper than the online shops. Just check www.techshop.in. Although the site is neatly designed and has good service but the prices are very much bloated. But that price from lynx-india is the best i have seen so far. I got a price from a dealer in Pune for WD FALS at 7.2k. Imagine that!
About the RAM's, i didnt mean that 1333MHz didn't exist or something, 1333MHz wont give you much difference than DDR2 1066MHz in real use. Its the 1666MHz one's where its really pulls away from the DDR2.

 

[asingh]

^^ Here in Delhi it is the other way around.

Nehru Place is where most stuff is procured for computers. Most of the time, they do not have high-end equipment (sxyadii could not find high - speed DDR2 DIMMs there)

And if they have stuff, it is over priced. I found Lynx to be cheapest, and they deliver fast to New Delhi.

Ya..true about the 1666Mhz, but the price shoots up. Within Arnab's budget, 1333Mhz is good. Just that its not true 1333Mhz, he will need to work to get the latencies and FSB ratios, so it runs at true 1333Mhz.

@ asigh...' thanks dude abt the info...

I am going 4r this config... Just asking can a vx 550 can handle my rig with gpu added later or should stick to tx 650...!

I am in a dilemma for this...' and ddr3 rams r available but 1666 mhz is a bit tough to find...' 1333mhz is available....dude some help will b needed to set my fsb and latencies...'

Wht abt the mobo is it ok or should opt 4r 790gx chipsets ...?

is the case is ok or some other opt...

Any idea abt crucial rams availability in india...? I saw it in newegg and was selling @ $60...' ddr3

VX550 will handle it fine. One single GPU board though. Not SLI/Xfire or Dual PCB.

Sure will help you set the latencies. Not an issue. If you can afford 1333Mhz, go for it. You get blazing fast RAM. Not sure if Crucial is available in India ..not seen.

CM690 is excellent. I have it. Though I am an advocate of Full ATX cases (since I ran out of space), but CM690 is good. Hell, you can mount 1/2 a dozen fans in there....! That too 120MM......!

Regarding motherboard, not an AMD expert, but it looks good. Saw some reviews. Your processor is nice too.

 

[hell_storm2006]

790GX chipset is the best possible AMD solution i know of. Gigabyte 790GX boards are on the expensive side! Biostars are equally good and cheaper. So get what's cheaper and supports DDR3. Try and online shop for the RAMs! Just check out these babies:
Patriot Extreme Performance Viper Series 3x2GB 1600Mhz DDR3 PVT36G1600LLK.
OCZ Core i7 Edition 3x2GB DDR3 1600MHz OCZ3X1600LV6GK.
OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 3x2GB DDR3 1600MHz OCZ3RPR1600LV6GK.
The first two are CL8 RAM's and Reaper one is CL7!
Got them from techshop.in.
GSkill F3-12800CL6T-6GBTD 3x2GB.
CL6 RAM's... ummmmmmmm! Tasty!!!

All these are out of your budget... but just drool on them!

 

[asingh]

^^mm..

Patriot series you mentioned are good. So are the Reapers. But so expensive. I live with the Corsairs. As long as they are fast enough (not fastest), and have pretty heat spreaders...!

 

[Arnab boss]

Hmm I'd like it...' will try them in my nxt intel rig....'

As of now as asigh said Corsair is best and its warranty is very best.... '

4r mobo Amd newest chipset is 785g ...now which one will run well with phenom 2 955....790gx or 785g..?

as asigh said a vx 550 is ideal 4 this rig but no sli@ crossfire so will a tx 650 will a better options...?
