^^ add a 6870 or 560ti as OP's budget limit is 38k, otherwise rest is the best VFM.

is UPS important as the place where i stay power cuts happens rarely say once in a month for 30 minutes or so
can some1 plz answer the above question regarding an UPS

 

[Tech_Wiz]

Change Proccy to Phenom X4 955 BE which is Rs. 800 odd more expensive but totally worth that money with added 6 MB L3 Cache and a Black Edition

 

[darksider]

can any1 answer my question abt the ups

 

[jagdish]

teckfreakamd phenom x4 840 is a re branded Athlon x4 processor it doesn't have l3 cache. Darksider go for gigabyte GA 880GM-USB3@ 4.8K it is a AM3+ motherboard so better upgrade path.

 

[d6bmg]

darksider, your config is also good, but if you can buy Phenom X4 955 BE as Tech_Wiz have already suggested for you, it will be great combo at your budget.

i hav been postin since yesterday and my posts are not shown here why so mods

 

[d6bmg]

^^ Because before your post count reach 10, your posts have to be approved by the mods to be visible.
So, what's the present question?

 

[darksider]

can some1 plz tell me if UPS is important as i told above the place where i live in power cuts are rare so will i still be needing a ups

 

[jagdish]

darksider, don't take any risk buy a ups.

 

[thetechfreak]

Yes a UPS is actually very important. A direct power off can actually cause permanent damage to ones pc components. I myself once ended up with a corrupt Hard drive without a ups. Therefore donot take chamber and buy a UPS.
and especially since you will be purchasing such costly components its - Better safe then sorry

Do you have to use the UPS for computer - CNET Computer newbies Forums

Even if you live in an area where power cuts are 'rare', that doesn't mean that not a single power cut will happen while you are using your PC. So 'just' to be in the safe side you should opt for UPS.
