2.Motherboard - Asus F2A85-M-LE
3.RAM -G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM 1866 MHz (F3-14900CL10S-8GBXL)

why are you guys suggesting trinity ??
fo 40k, a good CPU and GPU is a must

Option 1- For a more balanced rig
i5 3470 - Rs 11638
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Rs 4205
RAM- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB 1736
Monitor - Dell 21.5 inch LED - S2240L - 8.5k
Cabinet - CM Elite 310 - 1.9k
GPU - HD 7770 - Rs 8k
PSU- CX430v2 - Rs 2500
HDD- Caviar Blue - 500 GB - 3.5k
ODD-1k
Webcam- anything under 1k

slightly overshoots the budget, but if you buy locally.. it will comfortably fit in your budget

Option 2 - More gaming oriented
i3 3220 - Rs 7.1k
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Rs 4205
RAM- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB 1736
Monitor - Dell 21.5 inch LED - S2240L - 8.5k
Cabinet - CM Elite 310 - 1.9k
GPU - HD 7850 - 12k
PSU- CX430v2 - Rs 2500
HDD- Caviar Blue - 500 GB - 3.5k
ODD-1k
Webcam- anything under 1k
Again, slightly overshoots the budget but if you know where to look...it will be 5-10% cheaper (I quoted flipkart prices)

alternately, if u cannot extend budget.. compromise on cabinet .. get a el cheapo one and upgrade later

*www.ebay.in/sch/Computer-Components-/3667/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=i5

even better.. this costs exactly 10k afte applying coupon.. replace this with top rig..
for some wierd reason, icant edit

Just apply ebay coupon on each individual purchase..should shave Rs 500 each time

Shankar36 · Feb 20, 2013

Thanks Nerevarine but my budget is strictly 35K + 4-5K(from seliing my old pc). Even I thought of going for Intel CPU+Discrete GPU but since I am not an avid gamer, AMD APU will be more than enough I guess.

Nerevarine · Feb 20, 2013

The top rig, will be less than 40k, if you buy from ebay separately applying coupons.. trust me, the CPU will pwn any trinity

Shankar36 · Feb 20, 2013

I agree that Intel proce + discrete gpu will outperform my current config but I am really on very tight budget buddy......and moreover i felt the comp compnents are overpriced at ebay.
ex - Intel core i5 3470 is priced 13999 at ebay but it is available for 10.5K+5.5% = 11077 locally
GIGABYTE GA-A75-D3H is priced 4799 at ebay and its available for 4K + 5.5%= 4220 locally

so even if i use coupons the prices will still be high and exceeds my budget

I am planning to get a 1866MHz ram in my config as Cilus and most of the reviewers of AMD A10 5800K say that there will be significant increase in its performance with faster ram ex - Review: AMD A10-5800K Trinity: why it needs faster RAM - CPU - HEXUS.net

I dont know what those benchmark results mean.I just want to know whether those difference b/w 1600MHz and 1866MHz ram as said in the above review justifies spending 1K extra on a 1866 MHz stick and whether G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM 1866 MHz (F3-14900CL10S-8GBXL) @ 4K is a right choice with with AMD A10 5800K proce and ASUS F2A85-m-le Mobo???

Also whether WD Blue 1 TB 7200rpm model - WD10EZEX is the right model that i have ask for the vendors.....guys plz help me with correct model numbers so that these local vendors cannot put some other models

Thank you

difference between using 1,600 and 1,800 Mhz is not significant so better buy 1,600 Mhz and save money.

Cilus · Feb 20, 2013

^^ Minion, I am not suggesting him 1866 MHz Ram for the processor performance, read my previous post. I am suggesting higher speed Ram to increase the IGP 7660D's performance as it shares the system memory for Graphics processing.

Minion · Feb 20, 2013

^^buddy I was not pointing you .I am just suggesting OP to get 1600Mhz and save 1k.

Myth · Feb 20, 2013

1866 is the sweet spot for the 5800K. The extra price is worth the performance gain.

bssunilreddy · Feb 21, 2013

Intel Core i3 3225 -6000,
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H -4000,
Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 4GB -1500,
Corsair CX430 v2 -2600,
NZXT Source 210 Elite -2900,
Asus 24B5ST DVD-RW -1000,
WD Caviar Blue 500GB -3100,

A normal OC edition will do. Dont see a need for a flex edition.

sharathn29 · Feb 22, 2013

Hi shankar36,

did you buy your pc?If so please let me know the prices and the place where you bought them coz I'm also planning to buy AMD A10 5800K and ASUS F2A85M-LE config.

Is it better to go with 2 4gb ram sticks or a single 8gb stick?plz help

Shankar36 · Feb 22, 2013

Hi sharathn29 , I have not yet bought my pc planning to buy it on monday. ASUS F2A85M-LE board has only 2 ram slots so its better to go with single 8 gb stick so that you can add another stick later if you need.

hello TDigicians plz help...after going through several other threads here in this forum i'm confused with these two options

Option 1

1.Processor - AMD Trinity A10-5800K Integrated DX 11 HD 7660D IGP
2.Motherboard - Asus F2A85-M-LE
3.RAM -G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM 1866 MHz (F3-14900CL10S-8GBXL)
4.HDD 1 TB - WD Blue 1 TB HDD(WD10EZEX)
5.PSU - Corsair CX 430 V2
6.Optical Drive - LG 22X DVD R/W
7.Microsoft/Logitech Wireless Keyboard + Mouse Combo
8.Monitor - Dell 21.5 inch LED - S2240L
9.Logitech HD Webcam + Stereo Headset Combo
10.Cabinet- NZXT Source 210 Elite

Total 38.8K + 5.5% = 41K

Option 2

Processor - Intel Core i3 3220 6.5K
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H 4K
RAM- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB 1600MHz 1.5K
4.HDD 1 TB - WD Blue 1 TB HDD(WD10EZEX) 4k
5.PSU - Corsair CX 430 V2 2.4K
6.Optical Drive - LG 22X DVD R/W .9K
7.Microsoft/Logitech Wireless Keyboard + Mouse Combo 1.5K
8.Monitor - Dell 20 inch LED -IN1930M 6K
9.Logitech HD Webcam + Stereo Headset Combo 1.2K
10.Cabinet- NZXT Source 210 Elite 2.7K
11.GPU - Sapphire ATI HD7770 1 GB DDR5 8K

total 38.7K + 5.5% = 41K

I got my old Creative Inspire 2.1 repaired so will be using it so i dont need to buy speakers
In option 2 I'm opting for 20 inch led in place of 21.5 inch ipc panel led monitor to fit in discrete gpu in my config

Guys plz tell me which one is better. Is the second option better than 1st one?

If I go with Option 1...I was thinking of buying a discrete GPU card after 1 or 2 yrs.And if i go with intel config i hav to buy GPU now as i will not be able to play any games as of now without GPU.

I'm really confused please Help

Nerevarine · Feb 22, 2013

+1 to option 2 from my side
Can you tell me from where you are buying that HDD .. ?

Also monitor should be IN2030M

Shankar36 · Feb 22, 2013

Thanks Nerevarine,

All those price quoted are from Golchha Computers, SP Road, Bangalore.

yea monitor is IN2030M

Which option is better in terms of future upgradations??

and also guys whats your opinion about this Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card can I consider it in place of HD7770 as it reduces my budget by around 1K

d6bmg · Feb 23, 2013

^^ My vote will go for first config, (i.e. the config with A10 and no discrete GPU)

Shankar36 · Feb 23, 2013

Hello friends,

I'm buying my PC on monday....still unable to come to final decision on which option to consider :cry:

Only few WD Blue 1 TB HDD(WD10EZEX) are left with vendor it seems and it may run out of stock by monday...Which other alternative can i consider?

Also Sapphire ATI HD7750 1 GB DDR5 is available for 6.2K + 5.5% = Rs.6540 and Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card for 7.5K + 5.5% =Rs.7900 .Can I go for HD7750 so that I can fit in Dell 21.5 inch LED monitor?If i go with intel config and Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card or Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card , can I still manage with Corsair cx 430v2 PSU or do I have to consider an upgrade in PSU section?

One more doubt does this Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Mobo Support crossfiring of graphics card(Its not that I have any intentions of doing it just asked out of curiosity :wink:

)

So option 2 is slightly changed to

1.Processor - Intel Core i3 3220 6.5K
2.Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H 4K
3.RAM- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB 1600MHz 1.5K
4.HDD 1 TB - WD Blue 1 TB HDD(WD10EZEX) 3.7K
5.PSU - Corsair CX 430 V2 2.2K
6.Optical Drive - ASUS 24X DVD R/W .9K
7.Microsoft/Logitech Wireless Keyboard + Mouse Combo 1.4K
8.Monitor - Dell 21.5 inch LED - S2240L 9K
9.Logitech HD Webcam + Stereo Headset Combo 1.2K
10.Cabinet- CoolerMaster 310 1.7K
11.GPU - Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card 6.2K

Total 38300 + 5.5% = 40400

Is this option better than Option 1 that I have posted earlier? or still AMD A10 5800K + ASUS F2A85M-LE with 8GB ram better than Intel Core i3 3220 + Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H + Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card + 4GB ram.I guess you can see how confused I am plz help

Thank you

Thank you

HD7770 is worth the extra ~1k IMO, and i3 + 7770 is also better than a10 5800k.

Gigabyte b75m dh3 does support crossfire, but is not recommended as one of the pci-e slot will run at 8x and the other will run at 4x, so there will be lot of bottleneching. For cf, you need atleast 8x 8x slots.

CX430v2 can manage hd7770, make sure you get the v2 not the non-v2. CX430 has a colored box whereas cx430v2 will have normal cardboard box with black prints, check it online for appearance.

CX430v2 will come at ~2.5k not 2.2k,

Minion · Feb 23, 2013

+1 for option 1.

Shankar36 · Feb 24, 2013

Finally decided to go with AMD + ASUS Config :-D

......Will buy it tmrw.

One last query guys

I have decided to go with 1866MHz RAM as it improves IGP Performance .Is there any problem if I go with single G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM 1866 MHz (F3-14900CL10S-8GBXL) stick or should I have to go for 2 x 4 GB Sticks?

coz one of the reviewer at newegg says

" One con that I noticed was that when running these types of amd processors is that you should run 2 sticks of ram. I originally purchased one 8gb ddr3 1866 stick of ram with intention of adding more later on. With the 1 stick sometimes I noticed the video wan't always smooth and sometimes certain operations would seem to stutter. Also, my Window Experience Index was lower than other peoples scores with the same processor. I decided to do some research on the internet to figure out why I was having this problem before trying to go through a return process. I found some others with the same problem. In short, you need to run two sticks of ram to get optimal performance no matter the overall amount of gigs for your ram. I just received my second stick of ram and it resolved the issues. So if you want to run only 8gb of ram you will be better off running two 4gb sticks rather than one 8gb stick. Hope this helps any others thinking of running one stick of ram.

Windows Experience Index Scores

Before 2nd stick of RAM:
Processor
Calculations per second
Score = 7.3
Memory(RAM)
Memory operations per second
Score = 7.3
Graphics
Desktop graphics performance
Score = 4.9
Gaming Graphics
3D business & gaming graphics performance
Score = 6.4
Primary hard disk
Disk data transfer rate
Score = 6.1

After 2nd stick of RAM:
Processor
Calculations per second
Score = 7.3
Memeory(RAM)
Memory operations per second
Score = 7.3
Graphics
Desktop graphics performance
Score = 6.7
Gaming Graphics
3D business & gaming graphics performance
Score = 6.7
Primary hard disk
Disk data transfer rate
Score= 6.1"

This G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (F3-14900CL10S-8GBXL) - G.Skill: Flipkart.com ram is available locally for 4K and I thought of buying it.

But If i have to go 2 4gb sticks I couldn't find 1866MHz 4 GB sticks so I have to consider G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL)

Can I go for this G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL) - G.Skill: Flipkart.com if its available @ around 4.2K?

or is there any other option in 2 x 4 GB category above 1866MHz?
