I want to buy locally, but G4560 not available, they offered Intel G4400 Processor, that look older CPU. Is there an alternative for Intel Pentium G4560 ? Similar price range ?

No , G4400 is a lot slower than G4560 as it does not have hyper threading ..

Wait till first week of november .. Intel is rebranding G4560 to Pentium GOLD g4560 .. that is when new stock is expected ..

AMD A8 9600 ( AM4 platform ) is the next best thing after G4560 .. should be available for around 5.8 - 6k in a few days .. but keep in mind single thread performance is quite slower than intel .. so only go with it if your budget is strict and g4560 is unavailable , not considering 2nd hand and you have no other choice..

Hey guys,
Need help/ advise. My motherboard and SMPS both ran their due course and are not working now. I think the motherboard stopped working as a result of the SMPS malfunctioning. The dilemma I face is whether to keep my existing processor AMD FX FD8350 (this was released in 2011 I believe, and we built the PC early 2012) or to buy a new processor and and a new mother board. I am not able to find too many motherboards that are compatible with this processor. I am also considering the processors age (6 + years) and if it is really worth while to get an expensive motherboard that is compatible or just go for a new set of MB and processor shelling about 15k +- 2k. What do you think?

your suggestions for an MB and a processor combo is also welcome.

The type of work I do does not require a lot of computing power.

My email is xxxxxx. Thanks in advance.

If you can, go with new motherboard + processor as new processor are more efficient and you get better performance and more life time.

Its better to go with the latest AMD Ryzen Processors since price to performance is justified because of the new architecture. These processors are also very much power efficient.
 
Thank you so much for your suggestions would you guys be able to suggest a motherboard and a processor under 15k. I'm also looking to buy an smps. How is corsair 450. I see good reviews about it online.

Corsair 450 is a bad psu(comparing to good quality ones,of course it is still better than cheap Indian iball/intex psu).Don't buy a new processor now because Ryzen 2 is expected to be launched in March this year,there is also Ryzen+vega integrated graphics processor version coming in Feb/Mar.There is also news that Intel is going to launch new design processors free from Spectre bug( Meltdown and Spectre: ‘worst ever’ CPU bugs affect virtually all computers ). With so many option I suggest you to just buy a compatible mobo for now & build a new system later this year/next year.For psu get corsair CX550M/CX650M(if planning on adding good graphics card later)/TX650M(older & bit noisier but better than CX650M) for budget of ~4-6k(check mdcomputers.in for prices).

Experts I need your opinion here,

If there is NUC type mini pc comes with Barebone Intel i7 5550u costing around 299$ / 20k INR - Is that worth the price? Please reply

Intentional purpose of the PC, Rendering 4k videos by putting 8GB/16GB DDR3L Ram and 250/240 GB SSD - which need to source separately.

Please let me know.

Get this from US:Intel NUC (Next Unit of Computing) BOXNUC7I5BNH Barebone Systems - Mini / Booksize - Newegg.com

It's much future proof.

Hi guys. I needed to suggest someone a basic low end config for educational purpose for someone. Referring digit magazine and some of my own experience, I shared him following. Would like rating for this spec sheet:

He has a bit of reputation,check out reddit threads. He is not some paid reviewer & all the mobos he test,he buy it using his own money. Afterwards he sells them to recover some of his cost but as his testing results in voiding of warranty so he can only sell it at cheap rates even if it is only a few days old mobo. Because of this he is unable to test all mobos & only select a very few mobos for actual testing(hence the lots of eyeballing because why would anyone spend money on something if the first impression itself is not good).

Check this youtube video from above reddit thread,it also confirm buildzoid theoretical evaluation of B450 mobos.

And Asus ROG Strix B450F gaming is somewhat higher than their "TUF" series.You can see for yourself by searching for individual reviews of VRM temps of various mobos mentioned in buildzoid video & you will find they more or less confirm his predictions.

Another video from same reddit thread praising MSI B450 Tomahawk(buildzoid praised only MSI mobos this & gaming pro ac if I remember correctly).

P.S. It is not like TUF is a bad mobo but it is a bad choice for anything above 4 cores or 4cores apu(2200/2400G) especially if you are planning on OC.
Don't wanna have the discussion there and confuse OP with bit off topic discussion, so hijacked here. I hope you don't mind. And I hope this will be a healthy discussion and won't turn into fight ;)

Yeah, I get that. He has some good amount subscribers. And he is too technical. :thumbs:
He commented that he has to spend from his own pockets to buy the products he reviews, and he don't wanna buy every single one of 'em esp. when it's not paying.

Yeah, Steve's test results pretty much aligned with Buildzoids views. And none of ASUS and Gigabyte made it to Steve's top 5. :wow:

I couldn't watch the whole of the second video (Level1), I kinda felt sleepy even in the day time. It's too long. I would prefer reading reviews instead of watching looong videos. Yes, buildzoid was happy only with MSI Carbon's VRM but not okay with it's BIOS. He hasn't wholeheartedly said one single B450 is good in all the areas.

Going by buildzoid, MSI/Asrock has better VRM in their B series boards but not so good wrt BIOS. Not everyone of us can afford Crosshair Hero. I have read reviews where ASUS B series board overclocking 2600x to 4-4.1 and to use @ stock it's pretty much okay to go with any decent B series board even Octa core.
