wd hdds came with 3 years warranty.guess this one's no exception.

 

[Krow]

We need someone to confirm from a dealer though. I am really unsure about this.

i recently visited a dealer and he had a wd passport that came with 3yrs warranty.He also had seagate freeagent go which had 5 yrs warranty.guess their 3.5in counterparts have same warranties.

 

[Krow]

But that is not for internal HDD's friend. I still need to confirm.

 

[hell_storm2006]

www.techshop.in shows 3 years for all WD drives. Whereas lynx-india shows 5 years. Have to check WD website for this!

Hey great choice of stuff. Congrats. Which motherboard will you utilize for the i5.

 

[mandar5]

I will go with intel original board of 7.2k.my dealer says gigabyte boards were good but are poor in after sales service.also i used intel mobo before ,never encountered any problem.booked vip gold 500w smps.

Not trying to make fun of you or be rude to you, but which Idiot dealer is that? Since you live in Mumbai, buy from www.primeabgb.com (Prime ABGB, Lamington road). Great dealers, else you may try www.theitwares.com also on lamington, also good.

Gigabyte has very good after sales service, ASUS suffers from poor A.S.S. Intel board is too basic for 7.2k. At that price you get a full featured OCing AMD mobo. Nothing better than the Gigabyte P55M-UD2. VIP Gold SMPS? You really wanna power your CORE i5 with a VIP el cheapo smps? I suggest a minimum of CM Real Power Pro 460W @ 3.5k or Corsair VX450W @ 4k. Intel boards are good at about 3k, but paying 7k for a board which is actually worth about 6.2-6.5k also without any advanced features is just not right.

I suggest you cancel your order right now and go to PrimeABGB. They will give you better rates and are one of the most reputed dealers on Lamington.

 

[mandar5]

OK.BUDDY I WILL HAVE TALK WITH HIM 2MAROW.will opt for gigabyte and cm smps.thanks for info.actually i paid 25k yesterday and remaining will pay on tuesday.

do not get a native Intel board. Your dealer is just acting like a wise-a**, by saying Gigabyte gives bad service. It is one of the biggest motherboard brands along with ASUS and MSI.

Please do not power using VIP PSU. Gosh..you are getting such expensive equipment..VIP is risky. Plus you have plans for the 9800GT, that is a beefy card. It will need a robust/solid PSU. What Krow suggested is nice.

 

[mandar5]

actually i think i cant cancel mobo order now he may have already bought it.though smps i can get it from other stores.he is my cousins trusted dealer for 2yr.he never misguides us.then too i will have talk with him.thanks .

[asingh]

^^ Well....! Probably the performance difference between the two boards will be NIL. IF you run them both at stock.

Just that the Gigabyte one will give you options to unlock certain features for RAM/CPU. You will have capability to change the FSB and DRAM ratios, to getter slightly higher performance. Basically you can OC.

For Intel boards its all locked, though soft-mod hacks are available.

 

[mandar5]

I am not into oc so it does not matters to me.but are prices specified on website of primeabgb real i mean without hidden extras ,then i can afford coolermaster.anyways thanks asigh
for info.

 

[asingh]

^^ Those prices are real.

But tax is calculated later. You could phone them and ask.

 

[mandar5]

also what you guys think of other hardware like hdd and graphics card.i hope i have made right choice!

 

[asingh]

^^
Well you chose good stuff. But not to throw a spanner in the works --- if the motherboard is not good, rest is also not good. Though you have your reasons for choosing Intel Motherboard. You spent so many days choosing your stuff, and then narrowed down to an Intel Motherboard.

Just being frank and honest.

Post ur config again please.

@mandar5

hi dude

i've recently purchased the i5 along with the intel board(dp55wb) & corsair vx450w.

the intel board costs around 6.3k not 7.2k.

try consulting your dealer for the diff. in price.

go for the vx450

@mandar5

for the card go for the gts 250 instead of 9800gt.

if you have an existing card then i would suggest to wait for nvidia fermi cards.they are goin to be worth the wait.
