Need Suggestion to buy PC

[chris]

Hi,

I am going to upgrade my PC.

Can some one suggest a configuration that is available at

Lynx Chandigarh - Largest Audio , Electronic And Computer Online Superstore In India

Presently i am using Intel Core2Duo E4500 with 2 GB ram.

I will use exiting monitor, keyboard and mouse. Only want to buy motherboard, cpu, ram and power supply. May be a cabinet too. I am now using iball cabinet.

I prefer Intel CPU's. I used AND 64 some years back after seeing its review on digit (some 2 or 3 years back, i think it was when 64 bit comes out first), i had many problem with it.

Thanks,

Chris

What your Budget ? & what you gonna do with it ???

 

[chris]

budget is not a problem, i do have some fund in paypal, so want to purchase with paypal, that is why i selected lynx-india. If anyone have different provider that accept paypal, let me know.

I mostly use my pc for browsing, some video editing. I don't play games much (may because i don't have a graphics card). I have GTA SA, i play RuneScape. I may need a small graphic card that won't use lot of power (my current UPS give me 1 hour backup time, don't want it get used up in 15 mins).

I think i will get a Intel i7 or i5.

Which mother board is recommended for the CPU ?

your current e4500 is sufficient for browsing and little video editing.!!

Thanks for the reply. My PC is almost ok, but slow at times.

If i go with CPU Core i-5 760, can you please recommend a good mother board for this ?

I found a configuration from another site, placed order for following

ntel Core i5 760 Processor - Model BX80605I5760
MSI I ntel Motherboard - Model P55-GD65
Corsair DDR-III Memory 4GB - Model CMX4GX3M1A1600C9
Corsair 450W Power Supply Model - CMPSU-450VX

Not paid yet, i have to call lynx-india tomorrow and make the payment after they confirm as its too late now.

you will also need a gpu. no onboard graphics. and avoid the msi boards. get Gigabyte P55M UD2 if you wont sli in future

 

[chris]

Thanks Jaskanwar Singh for the info. I need onboard graphics. I will see if i can get Gigabyte P55M UD2. On a MB with built in graphics card, i can use a gpu if needed ?

 

[coderunknown]

if onboard graphics then i3 or i5 6** + H55/H57 or i3/i5/i7 (2nd gen Core is) + H67.

yes you can use. the graphics in the processor will be turned off.

 

[chris]

H55/H57/H67 are mother board models ? Which company ?

H57 Chipset ? Lynx - The Audio , Electronics And Computer Online Store In India

This motherboard have built in graphics ?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

actually mobo doesnt have built in graphics. but i3 and i5 6** have as sammy mentioned. so get some good h55/h57 from gigabyte or asus.

 

[coderunknown]

H55/H57/H67 are mother board models ? Which company ?

they are chipsets, a chip made by Intel & used by Intel as well as other motherboard manufacturers in their boards. without it processor can't be used.

This motherboard have built in graphics ?

processor have the graphics (only Core i3 & Core i5 6**. Core i5 750- Core i7s have no graphics) & so access it you need a board based on H55/H57 or H67 (currently available all Sandy bridge processors have graphics i.e. i3 2***, i5 2***, i7 2***).

also H** based boards have video out i.e. HDMI, VGA, DVI, etc. P55 or P67 have no video out. so a graphics card is needed even to use the PC.

Thank you Jaskanwar Singh and Sam.Shab for the reply.

Please let me know following configuration is good or not

Intel Core i5 650 Processor - Model BX80616I5650 Rs :8405/-
Asus H57 Chipset Intel Motherboard - Model P7H57D-V EVO Rs :13402/-
Corsair DDR-III Memory 4GB Kit [ 2 x 2GB ] - Model CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 Rs :2520/-
Corsair 450W Power Supply Model - CMPSU-450VX Rs :3880/-

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

no no no.that mobo is not at all required. and that processor is just a waste IMO.

for the much less price you can get much better amd config with much better onboard graphics.

AMD Phenom II x6 1090t @ 10k
Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H @ 4.3k

the ram and power supply are fine.

trust me amd gives no problem. most of us use it and it rocks!
that very very old ones might be bad.

 

[chris]

Thanks for the reply, i already placed order with them and made payment.

Intel Core i5 650 Processor - Model BX80616I5650
Corsair DDR-III Memory 4GB - Model CMX4GX3M1A1600C9
Gigabyte 80 Plus Active PFC 460W SMPS
Intel Motherboard - Model BLKDH55TC
