WD 500GB Blue @ 2k

Hmm..Straight away denied the users intel preference.
Thats a good built though.
Case - zebronics war hawak @ 1.3k
or if your looking for something more sutle, NZXT Gamma @ 2k.
I think you can save a bit with...
PSU- Gigabyte 80+ 460w @ 2.2
OR
FPS Saga II 400W @ 2.1

K&M - microsoft basic @ .7k
but if you are too much into fps gaming..
Mice - Razer Salmosa @ 1.6
OR
Gigabyte GM6880 @ 1.3
OR
Razer Abyssus @ 1.5
OR (of course) Mx518 @ 1.3

Micepad - Coolermaster CS-M weapon of choice Ak/M4 @ 880(if you are crazy gamer as i am)

I am not sure,but zotac gtx260 (768mb) is at around 10.7-11.3 range.

If you can save more 2-3k, go for sapphire 5850 @ 15k

Jas bhai,can he go with a bit cheaper mobo & only 2gbs of Ram??

[halo1]

thx guys...

The graphics card specified by u guys is little bit too expensive for me.....I dont want to play the games at the highest setting....I just want to play latest games at medium settings..maybe 1600*900....I think "HD 5770 1GB" would be sufficient for me..any advice??

Pls comment on the following config which i have in mind:
Processor and motherboard:Intel core i3 530 /Motherboard Gigabyte GA h55md2h= 9900/-
RAM: 2x2GB DDR3 1333MHz= g skill 4gb kit = 5400/-
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB= 1900/-
Graphics card: Powercolor/Sapphire HD 5770 1GB DDR5= 9400/-
Cabinet: CM Elite 430= 2750/-
PSU: Corsair CX400= 2600/-
Monitor:Samsung B2030= 6600/-
Speakers: Altec Lansing VS2421(2.1)= 2621 = 1700/-
CD/DVD Drive:LG 22x DVD writer= 950/-

Medium settings nw will be low settings nxt year.

Lga 775s dead (to me,that is, in ur face intel penny pinchers)

RAM: 2x2GB DDR3 1333MHz= g skill 4gb kit = 5400/-

Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB= 1900/-

Graphics card: Powercolor/Sapphire HD 5770 1GB DDR5= 9400/-

msi hawk 5770 is better,if not then sapphire.

Cabinet: CM Elite 430= 2750/-
y so costly when u are on low budget? Gamma will suffc.

PSU: Corsair CX400= 2600/-
fps saga is cheaper.

Monitor:Samsung B2030= 6600/-
the benq mentioned is d best buy.

Speakers: Altec Lansing VS2421(2.1)= 2621 = 1700/-


CD/DVD Drive:LG 22x DVD writer= 950/-

I personally dislike intel.

Sorry for my bad editing of previous comment.

Yeah, I'd also suggest AMD. Athlon II X4 635 + Gigabyte GA MA785GMT US2H @9.5k would be a better combo than Intel core i3 530 + Gigabyte GA h55md2h @9.9k
4 physical cores (quad core) would be better than 4 virtual ones (Dual core with hyper threading).
Rest of your config is good.

dude i got it from smc for 4.5k ok!!

 

[toad_frog09]

dude i got it from smc for 4.5k ok!!

what is smc?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

SMC International - its online store.

 

[coderunknown]

@jas, you gave a good config, but as OP hell bend on getting a Intel system, better he go with Intel, if he happy with it. but 1 thing, with no OC, i3 is a bad choice. i3 capable of hitting 4.5Ghz on a cheap air cooler. whereas Athlon II X4 maybe slow but cause of extra cores, it can give i3 a run for its value. so its all upto OP what he wants to buy.

@OP, get Benq G2220HD 22". getting a fast card & a 20", it doesn't looks good.

 

[Piyush]

what is smc?

wtf?!?!
i bought the same from MSI at 6k
r u sure about that?
is it usb3 and sata3?

as far I know Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H doesn't have both

correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Cool Buddy]

yup, no USB 3.0 no SATA III in UD2H. You haven't been cheated Piyush, you've got a perfectly good deal of a future proof board from MSI.

 

[Piyush]

phew....i thought i was looted

so the basic difference between 785g and 880g is the on board gfx
the former has 4200 and the latter 4250
is there any othjer difference?
like SB or anything like that?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

no baba, the basic diff. is not that. thats the one between my board and 785g.
they have the same SB710 sb.

actually 880g when paired wqith sb850 or some other new sb gives usb3 and sata 3. the usb and sata are controlled by sb. eg - gigabyte 880GMA UD2H

 

[Piyush]

ok ..got it...
and hows ur pc running
did u do any OC?
and playing any games?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

yar, till now i havent received the extension cable from from techenclave..that phoenix(now what to say!!) spelt my name wrong and the address also..i had made the payment on thursday.
anyways, i have mounted the psu vertically for some time..i have installed ubuntu 10.4 for time being.
i oced to 3.2ghz and after 2 days reverted back because when i will install win7 and play games then i will oc again...

 

[Piyush]

^^
so which games on the list?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

ok i just oced to 3000mhz.
the mobo HT LINK or Northbridge frequency increased from 2000mhz to 2070mhz and ram from 1366mhz to 1379mhz.
hope its ok..or should i lower down ht link speed and ram speed.
