Eyes closed get a Toshiba DT01ACA100, has 3 Years warranty! And WD Blue 1 TB is out of stock in India for the past 6 months or more,so no point wasting time over it.

@OP; what have you decided yet?

Well AMD one looks pretty good based on perfomance but am not sure yet... Heard that AMD cpu's have heating issues n i would need external cooler for it. What u say about tht???

 

[vickybat]

^^ That's baseless info mate. No heating issues with amd cpu's. They are as good as intel in that department and also bundle a premium cooler, far far better than what intel bundles.

CONFIG 2:
CPU- FX 8350 (10000)

which shop post link please

i would suggest get Toshiba 1 TB HDD Rs. 3800 + 3 years warranty (1year for Seagate)
& get the second config.
With the saved money invest on APC 1100 VA UPS ~ Rs. 5300

Not every item is from Satyam computers.. But the FX-8350 price is from the same shop.

Go with the second config. Its rock solid....

No such issues. Also, AMD's stock cooler are way better than Intel's. You can buy a CPU cooler later on if you have to overclock >5GHz. You can reach 4.5 GHz with the stock cooler safely.

Well then.. It's going to be 2nd config then... Hopefully next post will be in Show Off Section

[suvrajeet]

Get Toshiba instead of Seagate. Toshiba offers 3 years warranty and WD's HDD manufacturing will now be handled by Toshiba.

Get Toshiba instead of Seagate. Toshiba offers 5 years warranty and WD's HDD manufacturing will now be handled by Toshiba.

3 years warranty by Toshiba.

My View with FX8350 cooler way too noisy, until and unless you can afford that rigging sound while playing your games, you please go with AMD. Until and unless you invest in a good cooler you will never get a peace of mind. Telling from my personal experience just bought myself a HYPER EVO212.

 

[Sainatarajan]

Its 3 yr warranty ...
