Wait for Sandybridge to be widely available.

erm fine with gigabyte or asus motherboard...any specific model in mind??
Have used amd for some time now & happy to use it..moreover its a cheaper option than intel which may exceed my budget..so i prefer amd over intel but flexible if people suggest otherwise...
i already have 2 hdd..250gb & 500gb,which is almost filled to capacity,would say i need just one tb hdd..

pls help out..its urgent

Buddy hold on.....now lets begin.

Yep new processors from intel will hit indian market next week codenamed sandybridge or i7 , i5 ,i3 2xxx series.

They are absolute scorchers and are beating their predecessors and competition black and blue. Definitely worth a short wait and your budget is maybe just sufficient to acquire a sanybridge config. Its more future proof than any offerings you can get now.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

buddy H67 is made for you. you wont overclock and you need onboard graphics. currently sandybridge onboard graphics are best. these processors are also best in gaming and almost everything.

 

[Ronnie11]

intel i7,i5??Aren't those like **** expensive???Since majority of you guys are telling me to wait,i guess i will wait if it ends up giving me a good spec..when is it supposed to release??Won't the starting price be expensive...
pardon my ignorance,am not in touch with any of these,so no idea..how long do i have to wait??will this give me a better spec that the one with amd...if so..i am sold...

but pls let me know when it releases...

on a side note,can anyone explain to me this new motherboard???will co. like gigabyte come up with h67 boards as u have mentioned or is it only sandybridge??
Again pardon my ignorance..will someone here atleast let me know when this thing will release...

H67 is the chipset to be used with sandy bridge processors for utilising their onboard graphics. all companies are here with boards of this chipset. asus, gigabyte, msi, biostar, ecs and more.
expect these processors next week. some boards are already out.
you will easily get a core i5 2400/2500 in your budget AFAIK.

Thanks for the explaination..waiting eagerly for this chipset..also hoping it is affordable...

So since you'd be going for Sandy Bridge, your processor and motherboard are sought. Now for the cabinet, I'd recommend opting for Cooler Master Elite 430 @ Rs. 3500 and I hope everyone'd agree with me regarding its features.

Ronnie , if you want good Sandy Bridge based pc then you have to spend

15000-16000 on Processor
8000-12000 on MB
4000-6000 on RAM


So I don't think so, that it will suit your budget at the moment so please wait for a couple of months so that prices stabilizes.

WHAAAT???I thought it could be affordable for my budget...ahh feared this the most..i can't wait for a couple of months...i was planning to buy one this week but delayed it thinking i could get something better this week...sigh..can anyone else confirm this pricing???

hey topgear has posted the price of 2400 & MoBos in the "Hardware spec sheet/price update" thread.2400 is for 9.65k &
Intel DH67BL - 5.9k
Intel DH67CL - 6.5k
Asus P8H67-M - 7.2k...
Now all we need is reviews of these boards & you can get CPU+MoBo+RAM within 20k.

Add around some money because Top Gear has said this based on prices in US dollar ,but once it ships to India the cost will increase, keep that in mind !

Ronnie , latest configurations always come at a premium but if you wait for 2 months you will get same thing with better motherboard at a lower cost

Also Gigabyte is planning to launch over 50 MB's for Sandy Bridge so low cost MB will come up later on only.

Wait and watch.

 

[Zangetsu]

Wait and watch.

Yeah, & then buy.....

In my point of view waiting for sandybridge makes no sense because these processors when launched in India will be very costly and by the way who wants a dual core cpu with ht and embedded gpu @ price of rs.8k and up.
i3 2-cores ht with ig-2000 @ $127-$195.
i5 4-cores non-ht with ig-2000/3000 @ $177-$216.
i7 4-cores ht with ig-2000/3000 @ $306-$317.
Actual consumer prices will be higher.
