Gigabyte has some good boards, but they are expensive compared to biostar. better look for AMD, ASUS is not recommended although nothing is seriously wrong with it either.

Gigabyte GA785GMT-UD2H is a very good board. its DDR3. its same as Biostar TA785G3 HD. just it got no sideport memory. & its 100% solid caps. also audio is good. a very good alternative to Biostar at a slightly higher price.

about Asus. they have numerous issues. mayn't be very big one. but surely when paying so much, one doesn't expect to end up with some nasty problems.

here this will answer all ur queries about vfm and performance.
read it thorughly especially the last page.


and benq g2220 is arnd 7.5k , you could have fetched the deal if you buy from lamington road in mumbai.

if you are asking this for a friend in guwhati then online buying will be better.
if buying from lamington is possible then go that way. though if ur skeptical about that just locate someone on the forums who lives near you and is wiling to accompany you.

visit Computer Heart & get Benq 2220HD. they quoted me a price of 8.9k last time i visited about 6 months ago, a bit too high compared to other parts. its a good monitor. no problem with it.

for motherboard, i doubt if any 785G or 790GX or even 8 series motherboard available here. if you can, order it online from SMC (Gigabyte GA785GMT-UD2H @ 4600).

also for processors, i heard, X4 620 is priced at a sky high 6.5k or so. better get X4 955 which is priced reasonably well compared to Athlon X4s.

are you from guwahati? ..can you tell me what motherboards i can get in guwahati? specifically in computer heart or datamation services?online shopping is not really an option here & since i am in mumbai & a friend is going to get the PC in guwahati, i can only give him a configuration for now.

there are few indian sites wch cover whole India , after u give him the config, and hes still confused, tell us and well make it ckearer.

in this same hardware q&a section there is a thread latest prices see the first page for the website detail.
if you read the whole thread u may find some one from guwahti.

about the monitor...dell isn't readily available in guwahati(where it will be bought)...how is the Benq G2220 22’’ monitor? is there any other monitor at this price range..it costs about 8k....i am looking for a 22'' since i will be upgrading with a graphics card soon. also the biostar m/b may not be abailable so is the ASUS M4A78LT-M LE or MSI GF615M-P33 mobo's good? please suggest alternatives to the biostar that will support ddr3 memory. thank you.

yup. i m from Guwahati. well from Computerheart & likeweise shops, you won't find any AMD chipset based motherboards. thats for sure. i not went there since 6 months so can't just comment what motherboard will b available. do remember, all the ppls on those shops are no.1 idiots of India. so go well prepared
