Lost,But not yet defeated
Hi Guys.
After your suggestion for my laptop (I am really satisfied about that ), I am now requesting for a System. I am gonna buy this in december only, but I need to clarify a lot of things . Expecting the same kind of response as I had before .
I currently have an very old system
P4 1.8GHZ
Intel 845GL mobo
256mb RAM
80 GB HDD
Samsung DVD RW
Samsung CD RW
17" CRT Samsung monitor.
2.1 mercury speaker.
After 5 years, I am planning to buy a new rig. My budget is 50k +/- 5k. Please post your suggestions.
Here is some of my requirements.
1) I need a entire system with monitors, keyboard etc but without speakers and UPS(Will use from my old computer).
2) I need a 22" Wide screen monitor and min 500 GB of HD space and 4GB of ram.
3) The system should be upgradeable with minimum effort (after 2years) and should provide
good performance for at least 2 + 2(upgraded) years.
4) It should provide good gaming performance (EDIT: All High NO AA) in a 22" monitor.
5) I don't need costly cabinets and coolers as I wont do any much over clocking.
6) I am ready to sacrifice some performance for money.
7) I will be using a lot of torrent so the system will be ON for days. Please advice
according to it.
8) I need to use my old hard disk and DVD drive(If possible CD drive too).
9) I am going to quad as I am not a patient fellow and do multi tasking (DVD writing and gaming at same time)
10) Tv tuner card if possible
My Preference is
AMD Phenom X4 9950 - 9k
AMD 790GX - 5K
Transcend Ram 4GB - 4K
WD 640GB - 3.5k
HD4870 - 16.5k
cabinet -1k
Viewsonic 22" - 13k
keyboard + mouse - 1k
Cooler Master 330 elite - 1.5k
tv tuner card - 3k
Reasons for choosing AMD Rig
1) AM2+ socket is future proof unlike LGA775 of intel.
2) Value for money on mobo.
3) HD4870 works better with AMD mobo and processor (Is it so?)
4) Can save some money over intel rig.
5) Amd quad can be easily over clocked.
Questions
1) Does the integrated HD3300 and HD4870 can be put in hybrid Crossfire. If yes how the performance will be. If no which IGP and HD4870 can be put in hybrid crossfire.
2) Can my HD4870 be switched off when not in use.(I have heard that discrete card can be switched off and the IGP can be use during normal time. Hybrid Power) If yes How?
3) How C2D and phenom match in gaming. My gaming resolution will be 1680x1050. ( As far as i know there only some 5 to 10 fps difference as gaming depends on GPU and not CPU).
4) Do I have to go for intel rig instead of this? If yes I need justification and a good
configuration.
5) Do I have to go for HD4850 and improve other things.
6) And of course any other valuable suggestions please.
Many Thanks in Advance Guys.
EDIT:
Guys I just want to make one thing clear, Its not about Intel build with HD4850 or Amd build with HD4870. Its about HOW MUCH MAXIMUM CAN I GET WITHIN 55K . Hope you all understand my point. Thanks in advance guys.
