The ONLY Gigabyte motherboard you are likely to find is 880GM-UD2H. You won't find GMA-UD2H and GA-UD3H. I sincerely request each and everyone to stop suggesting it and avoid confusion. :) *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-compon...7896-note-regarding-gigabyte-880gma-ud2h.html

@OP
You have a budget of 12k for processor and motherboard. What about RAM? PSU? Included in the budget or excluded? To get perfect advice you need to be crystal clear.

12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
A: nah.
This translates to you want cabinet, PSU, RAM, motherboard and processor within your specified budget i.e. 12k??? Please be more clear.

Ok, 1st of all mention ur total budget and all the components u want to purchase. And for RAM go for 4GB DDR3 Corsair/Gskill/Kingston/Zion/Transcend, it will at max cost 2.4k only. 2.8k is much more.
Its the rank wise selection of RAM. The former the better.

Hey.. Rs. 12000 is for motherboard and processor only.
for cabinet, PSU and RAM I've a seperate budget.
Since I've a 450W Local PSU already, will it be sufficient?

And I want DDR3 RAM.

I am still confused about the graphics card brand.
How many versions of HD5670 are available?

On The PSU, all that I can read is-

CIL-ODYSSEY-DEC 2010

for futureproof in gaming min is HD5770 at that resolution.

get this -
Component | Make | Price Processor |AMD Athlon II x4 640|4600
Motherboard |Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H|4000
Graphic Card |Sapphire HD5770|7500
PSU |FSP Saga II 500w|2100


for ram get corsair or g.skill.

Rishabh_sharma1990, the kingston Rams are highly over priced by your vendor. A value Corsair 1333 MHz DDR3 2 GB module costs only 1 to 1.1K and a single 4 GB module costs 2.1K.
Better check online prices. And if possible let us know the whole budget for your complete upgrade. Then we can distribute the budget proportionately to all the components more efficiently.

OP has mentioned in 1 of posts he doesnt want Anthlon. He wants Phenom. So lets not reccomend him and confuse.


Use Corsair for ram.

Thanx a lot friends :)
And now after thinking so much, I've extended my budget for Intel Core i5 :) :)
So the complete configuration is

Processor - Intel Core i5 2400
Motherboard - Intel DH67BL
RAM - Crossair 4GB DDR3
Graphics Card - Sapphire HD5670 1GB (Wouldn't it be better than 512 MB? )

Now, I've a local 450W power supply, and not sure if it will support this rig.
If not, which PSU should I go for..? Dont know about the budget but I think Rs. 1500 should be sufficient?
Plz tell the prices if possible...

Also, should I buy Sapphire or XFX?

Get the 512 MB version of Hd 5670, the 1 GB version does not offer any noticeable performance increase.
And the first and foremost job after you get your system is to get rid of the local 450W SMPS. Otherwise it will damage your system for sure.
For PSu extend your budget by 500 bucks and get the FSP Saga II 500w @ 2.1K.

Ok...thanks a lot guys.. Really the 1GB card will not make significant difference?
Actually my brother is quarreling with me to get 1 GB Card. He thinks it will give better performance ;)
So FSP Saga II 500W
and Sapphire HD5670? Done :)

Can u please tell the market price for 512 MB and 1 GB HD5670?
And 1 GB should be futureproof, isn't it?

Your brother is sadly misinformed. You will waste your money if you get 1GB. It is of absolutely no use.
Instead you can channel your money towards PSU.

HD 5670 512MB @4.5k and FSP Saga II 500W @2.1k makes a total of 6.6k.
The 1GB version will cost you more and that is not recommended.

For Multimedia and Gaming ( this is the best combo IMO )

Phenom II X6 1055T @ 8.3K and Gigabyte MA880GM-UD2H @ 4.3K

a hexa core cpu is very good for multimedia apps ( and gaming too ) and as OP will not ( and can't ) OC with that cpu it's better to get the hexa core combo - later on it can be even OCed with a good cooler - so this combo has better potential and performance ;-)

get a FSP Saga II 500W PSU @ 2.2K and for GFX card get Sapphire HD5750 @ 6k or Sapphire HD5770 @ 7k.

Well I opted for Core i5 previously, dont you think the overall configuration will be better with Intel?

Since I've a budget for Intel, shouldn't I go for Intel, since there is a 2-3k difference b/w Phenom and Core i5 rig?
I think Intel has better potential and performance, isn't it?

Plz Suggest if any better in this budget.. and now I am going for 512 MB Graphics Card...

Here is the complete configuration-


Intel Core i5 2400
Intel DH67BL USB3
Sapphire HD5670/5750 512 MB
Crossair 4GB DDR3
FSP SAGA II 500W PSU

Can u plz tell the complete prices.. since I am unaware of the prices of core i5 and mobo..

And I hope its now a really powerful rig, isn't it? :)
