NEW COMP QUERY

[-=[DDS]=-]

i M Planning to buy a new PC.
But i have lil problem in deciding which & what to buy.

My budget is around 40000-45000.
i want a high-end SYSTEM with a gr8 multi-tasking capabalities & for ANIMATION {running high softs like MAYA, 3D MAX} & FOR WATCHING HD MOVIES.

With these i had in mind that i want to purchase a i5 pro.
So dealer gave me these configs with their prices.

Core i5+DP55WB --> 18000
2x2GB DDR3 --> 400 {dont know brand}
nvidia 1gb G card --> 4-5000 {approx}
iball cabinet --> 1300

i Have 500GB WD internal HDD & moserbaer DvD writer.

with these i have few queries :
1} So what do u all guys think should i go with intel OR AMD ??
2} instead of DP55WB i think of going with DP55KG
3} i m hinking of zebronics cabinet.
4} As i dwnld lots of movies i m thinking of buying 1tb xternal WD hDd
5} Pls. suggest a good system with prices.

i m w8ing for reply.

PlS. do reply with a g00d solution. {i m very confused at this }

At your budget you can have best Value for money from the both world.
I am suggesting solutions from both the brands:

Intel Solution

1.Core i5 i750 2.66GHz @ 10.3k
2. Gigabyte GA-55 UD2 @ 7k
3. Transcend 2X2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram @ 4.8k
4. Palit GTX260 896MB GDDR3 SONIC @ 10.6k
5. Monitor: BenQ 22" G2220 FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 8k
6. Cabinet: Zebronics Bijli @ 1.4k
7. GlacialPower 650W AA @ 4.7k
8. Seagate 1 TB @ 4k (32 MB cache)

total 50.8k. But street price will be little lower.

AMD Solution

1. Phenom II 965 3.4 GHz @ 10k
2. Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H @ 5.5k
3. Transcend 2X2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram @ 4.8k
4. Palit GTX275 896MB GDDR3 @ 13.9K or HD 4890 @ 12k

Other configurations are same
price: 50.4k.

Now comparison between between 2 specification.

The performance of Core i7 is slightly better than Phenom II 965. But if you go for AMD you can get a high end Gfx card.

Gfx Crad: I suggested Nvdia based solution because Nvida cards support CUDA. Which means most of the software you mentioned will be accelerated by an Nvdia card. Although ATI stream support is also getting implemented in most of the editing and animation software (Like products of Adobe), Nvidia CUDA is still ahed.

Alternatively you can wait for few days untill the price of the DX 11 cards reduced a little. Then you can get a Radeon HD 5850 @ 15k. My suggestion is for waiting a little

^^ hey thanks.
But i was thinking what was the harm in intels motherboard.
either DP55KG or DP55WB

You cannot overclock the Intel motherboards.

 

[Anubis]

Cpu - Intel core i5-750 (2.66Ghz) - 10.2k
Mobo - GA-P55M-UD2 - 6.7k
Ram - Transcend 2x2gb 1333mhz ddr3 - 5.2k
HDD - Seagate 500gb 7200.12 - 2.3k
Graphics card - ATI HD 4890 1gb DDDR5 - 12.5k ( Equivalent to Nvidia GTX 275 @ 14k )
Cabinet - Cooler Master Elite 310 - 1.5k
SMPS - Corsair VX 450 - 4.1k
Monitor - Benq G2200HD - 8k

Total - 50k

There is nothing wrong with the Intel boards. But they are not designed for the advance users. Overclocking and other advance features and tweaks are not supported in those motherboards.
On the other hand broads from ASUS, GIgabyte etc are specially designed for advanced users. They support overclocking and have special hardware design to support overclocking in larger extent. Their BIOS is advanced and user can easily tweak the system from BIOS. Some boards have have special features like One switch optimization (A switch in Mobo that can perform 25% overclocking directly without changing anything in BIOS). So better go for these mobos rather than Intel.

 

[Vensanga]

+1 for Cilus Intel Solution..and you should definitely go for Gigagyte mobo than Intel mobo..

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

i'd suggest amd solution cuz you could squeeze in a better graphics card in your budget.
and for graphics card Graphics card - ATI HD 4890 1gb DDDR5

 

[asingh]

Cpu - Intel core i5-750 (2.66Ghz) - 10.2k
Mobo - GA-P55M-UD2 - 6.7k
Ram - Transcend 2x2gb 1333mhz ddr3 - 5.2k
HDD - Seagate 500gb 7200.12 - 2.3k
Graphics card - ATI HD 4890 1gb DDDR5 - 12.5k ( Equivalent to Nvidia GTX 275 @ 14k )
Cabinet - Cooler Master Elite 310 - 1.5k
SMPS - Corsair VX 450 - 4.1k
Monitor - Benq G2200HD - 8k

Total - 50k

This seems the best to me. He is more future proof vs the AMD rig. Plus he can OC the i5 and get it whooping fast. The VX450 should be able to hold up.

Hail Corsair....!

Someone said to me that the speed of intel mobo is better then other mobo in the market

iS ThiS TRUE ¿¿¿¿

Hey Thanks.
But i dont feel like spending too much money on G CARD.
i'VE decided on the following system, pls. Give your comments on how is it.
I dont require a hDd 'coz i have internal 500GB WD
Specs :-
Core i5
GA-P55 UD3R
Zebronics antibiotic OR reapex
1TB xTERNAL WD
Corsair 2x2GB DDR3
nVIDIA 9600GT
Samsung 2043SW

So guys pls. Gimme your suggestion on the above specs

 

[Krow]

Get 2033SW or 2233SW. You seem not to mention the SMPS. Get Corsair VX450W @ 4k. Please dont compromise on this component as you may end up burning your rig one day and regret spending less on the PSU. 9600GT? What? I think a better option would be to get GTS250 @ 7k or GTX260 SONIC @ 10.5k.

Remember to whack that noob who misinformed you about Intel mobo's being faster. No, Intel boards are the worst in terms of features, but are stable. It is not worth it spending more than 6k on a board without any advanced features. Gigavyte P55M-UD2 is your best bet.

Intel Mobo Faster: NO

There we go. First you say a budget of 40k-50k and then back out

CM Elite cabinets are much better than Zebronics Cabby anyday.

Moreover Gigabyte P55 UD2 - 6.7k is ok , you don't need to spend extra moolah on UD3

Intel mobo are not at all faster. Not at all Overclockable and not at all VFM

I changed the rig . Have a look

Cpu - Intel core i5-750 (2.66Ghz) - 10.2k
Mobo - GA-P55M-UD2 - 6.7k
Ram - Transcend 2x2gb 1333mhz ddr3 - 5.2k
HDD - Seagate 500gb 7200.12 - 2.3k
Graphics card - ATI HD 4850 512mb DDDR3 - 6.5k
Cabinet - Cooler Master Elite 310 - 1.5k
SMPS - Gigabyte 460w - 2.2k ( Since i know u r bending toward elcheapo psu )
Monitor - Benq G2200HD - 8k (VFM)

Total - 42k

The OP does not seem interested to game. He said does not want to spend that much on a card. Heck what does the OP actually want...?

 

[Krow]

i want a high-end SYSTEM with a gr8 multi-tasking capabalities & for ANIMATION {running high softs like MAYA, 3D MAX} & FOR WATCHING HD MOVIES.

This is what OP wants and I suggest a minimum of GTS250 as it has CUDA which helps in rendering AFAIK, even better would be GTX 260 SONIC @ 10.5k. Correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Anubis]

This is what OP wants and I suggest a minimum of GTS250 as it has CUDA which helps in rendering AFAIK, even better would be GTX 260 SONIC @ 10.5k. Correct me if I am wrong.

Since the OP wants 1GB Nvidia gfx 4000-5000

i assume , he is a noobish casual gamer .

Don't fall for 1GB is better becoz , your 1GB will be limited by 128 bit ,

Correct me if i am wrong

I think MSI ATI Radeon HD 4670 1GB DDR3 (R4670 2D1G D3) - 4.5k

*www.theitdepot.com/details-MSI-ATI-Radeon-HD-4670-1GB-DDR3-(R4670-2D1G-D3)_C45P4754.html

There you go OP , are u happy now?

 

[asingh]

^
So he wants high - end, but does not want to spend on a graphics card. A HD4650 would do better. Krow, I think even your suggestion would be too high for the OP. Where is the OP..?

 

[Krow]

Well, I think an AMD solution would be much better then. The onboard graphics are much better, considering that Intel has none. So no need to spend on GPU at all. I wish Intel would roll out some G55 boards.

AMD CPU's will do the job almost as well as Core i5 and will be much cheaper too.

 

[Cilus]

Listen DDS, if u r not a hard core gamer, u dont need to spend money on Gfx card but get at least 1 GB 9800 GT then. U will get a lot of help while running ur editing and animation softwares. Go for my Intel solution without the Gfx card suggested.
9800 GT 1 GB will be around 7k.

 

[-=[DDS]=-]

Hey why does everybody who has given me the specs are suggesting TRANSCEND, isnt CORSAIR good also ??? {not offending on anybody}.i M thinking to buy a CORSAIR
RAM.& as far as i know CORSAIR gives best perfomance then TRANSCEND, isnt it ??

i m interested in watching HD MOVIES & doing ANIMATION {working on softs like MAYA, 3DS MAX, ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR, PREMIER PRO, etc} WORK
Playing casual games.
So pls. suggset G cards for that purpose only, not for hard-core gaming.

One more question which i cant get answer for.
Graphic Cards are made by nVIDIA or ATI.
So why does SAPPHIRE or MSI or PALIT, etc are added before the nVIDIA or ATI CARDS ????

Get 2033SW or 2233SW. You seem not to mention the SMPS. Get Corsair VX450W @ 4k. Please dont compromise on this component as you may end up burning your rig one day and regret spending less on the PSU. 9600GT? What? I think a better option would be to get GTS250 @ 7k or GTX260 SONIC @ 10.5k.

As i dint have a lot of info on PSU, so i dint mention any.
But thanks anway, i will go for PSU, u mentioned.

Intel Mobo Faster: NO

Graphics Card: Will you / do you game..?

I m NOT A hard-core gamer.
i Just to like play games.Whether it has quality or it doest have it, i dont care as long asi m able to play it without any probs.i Can set the resolution to 800x600 if the game hangs or gives poor perfomance.
& with the pro & RAM i m taking it would atleast work fine yaar.
i dont want HIGH-END QUALITY GRAPHICS & all those stuff, so i do not intend to purchase a good G card.

There we go. First you say a budget of 40k-50k and then back out

CM Elite cabinets are much better than Zebronics Cabby anyday.

SMPS - Gigabyte 460w - 2.2k ( Since i know u r bending toward elcheapo psu )
Monitor - Benq G2200HD - 8k (VFM)

Total - 42k

My budget is still around 40-42000, but i dont feel to much spending on GPU. As i dont need it.U can see my above reply.

As for CM or Zebronics, i am planning zebronics 'coz it has LCD DISPLAY for TEMP & other stuff.
Which CM doesnt have that stuff.
U could chk out here:

The OP does not seem interested to game. He said does not want to spend that much on a card. Heck what does the OP actually want...?

yup i m not interested in HARD-CORE GAMING.
i m interested in watching HD MOVIES & doing ANIMATION WORK

This is what OP wants and I suggest a minimum of GTS250 as it has CUDA which helps in rendering AFAIK, even better would be GTX 260 SONIC @ 10.5k. Correct me if I am wrong.

if it is going to help me then surely i will consider this card.

yup i m happy but is it enough for the things i want to do ????

Well, I think an AMD solution would be much better then. The onboard graphics are much better, considering that Intel has none. So no need to spend on GPU at all. I wish Intel would roll out some G55 boards.

AMD CPU's will do the job almost as well as Core i5 and will be much cheaper too.

i dont like AMD

Listen DDS, if u r not a hard core gamer, u dont need to spend money on Gfx card but get at least 1 GB 9800 GT then. U will get a lot of help while running ur editing and animation softwares. Go for my Intel solution without the Gfx card suggested.

Hey thanks.
But im confused, which one to choose the one KROW told, Anubis told OR the one u are telling, i.e. GTS 250 or ATI RADEON HD 4850 or 9800GT
