Right off the assembly line
Dear Friends,
I want to buy 2 desktops now for my family as New Year gift and i'm quite shaken by the sockets & compatibility issues with the motherboards. The plethora of options has confused me a lot. Based on my small knowledge i've arrived on 2 Intel based systems. Any AMD architecture based systems will also be welcome and i'm not alergic to them. Budget is 35 max. for my first system. Discrete graphics card is not required at this point of time but i plan to upgrade it on a later stage. My mom needs a bare basic system. So 20K for another system. I have arrived on the following components for the systems.
System 1
Processor: Intel Core i3 3220 (Dual core, 3.3 GHz, LGA 1155, 22 nm) - 7300/-
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Pro4 (Intel Z77 chipset, LGA 1155) - 8640/-
Ram: Corsair Vengence CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9 (1x4 GB DDR3, Latency 9-9-9-24) - 1418/-
HDD: WD Caviar Green WD10EARX (1 TB, SATA 6Gb/s, 64 MB cache) - 4247/-
Optical drive: LiteOn iHas124 (DVD RW, SATA) - 1008/-
PSU: Corsair CX600 CMPSU-600CXV2UK (600 Watts) - 4232/-
Cabinet: Cooler Master Elite 310 - 2071/-
Monitor: Acer 15.6 inch LED - P166HQL (15.6", HD ready) - 4100/-
Keyboard - Logitech K120 - 500/-
Mouse: Logitech M100R - 399/-
Headset: Logitech Stereo Headset H110 - 475/-
Webcam: Logitech C270 (HD webcam) - 1270/-
Total: 35759/-
I've found the MB from Intel quite interesting. Motherboard: Intel DH77EB (Intel H77 chipset, LGA 1155) - 7341/- Will the Intel MB be good compared to ASRock MB?
System 2:
Processor: Intel Pentium Processor G630 (Dual Core, 2.7 GHz, FCLGA 1155, 32 nm, 65W TDP) - 3445/-
Motherboard: Intel DH61HO (Intel H61 chipset, LGA 1155) - 3063/-
Ram: Corsair Vengence CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9 (1x4 GB DDR3, Latency 9-9-9-24) - 1418/-
HDD: WD Caviar Blue WD5000AAKX (500 GB, SATA 6Gb/s, 16 MB cache) - 3439/-
Optical drive: LiteOn iHas124 (DVD RW, SATA) - 1008/-
PSU: Corsair CX430 CMPSU-430CXV2UK (430 Watts) - 2700/-
Cabinet: Cooler Master Elite 310 - 2071/-
Monitor: Acer 15.6 inch LED - P166HQL (15.6", HD ready) - 4100/-
Keyboard & Mouse: Logitech MK200 USB 2.0 Keyboard and Mouse Combo - 880/-
Total: 22723/-
In general,
Monitor: Samsung 15.3 inch LED - S16A100N (15.6", HD ready) - 4500/- is it better than the Acer model i've landed.
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS71/GH24NS72 (DVD RW, SATA) - 1008/- better than the LiteOn model?
PSU: Corsair CX500 CMPSU-500CXV2UK (500 Watts) will it be better for both system 1 & 2? Will there be any problem with the PSU if i upgrade a Graphics card later? Especially for system 1.
Will all the components i've selected go well, sync & work well. All the prices are from Flipkart as i plan to order online. Pl reply as i want to buy atleast before Christmas. Will there be PSU in Cooler Master Elite 310 cabinet? Will it suffice the power requirements of the 2 systems?
