160 or 200 GB SATAII (7,200 RPM) HDD (Samsung)
Inspire 4.1 (4400) speakers system
17'' inch monitor (samsung)
DVD writer (liteon, or Sony)
Gainward 6600GT graphics card (suggest some other within same price range)
Intel DG965wh mainboard or MSI P965 Platinum or MSi P965 Neo-F
Intel core2duo E6400
Intex cabinet Pulsar with 560 w powersupply
or spice or matrix

please give me the prices of each component. thanks in advance

What is ur budget?? is it abt 50K??

 

[goobimama]

Instead of 6600GT get a 7600GS which gives equal to better performance, with added features.

Also, is that monitor LCD?

 

[Gaurav]

my budget is around 36k max.,
no that monitor is not LCD.

what will i have in additional if i buy 7600gs series, forsa brand is not available in delhi.

1GB DDRII 667MHz RAM(transcend) => 7K

Gainward 6600GT graphics card (suggest some other within same price range)=> 4K (for ddr2)

no one suggested me this machine, I have compiled this one on my own., will have to reconsider my budget and the config as well.
how much will pentium D cost, though it's not a better option but do tell me the price of pentium D 920., with good mobo.

 

[Tech Geek]

915 (4MB L2 cache 2.80Ghz 800MHz FSB 65nm) Rs5400
925 (4MB L2 cache 3.0Ghz 800MHz FSB 65nm) Rs6200

 

[Gaurav]

if i use pentium d 925, will it fry all my components,,, because i read somewhere in this forum that it's the hottest proccy intel could produce ., that's why i was planning to purchase c2d.
I play games and do various encoding tasks as well + some multimedia work too.

 

[codename_romeo]

i have a Pentium D 915 n it runs at about 52 c under full load........
I have the stock cooler n an extra cabinet fan, so i dont think it should be that hot

 

[Gaurav]

Ok I have talked to an assembler in Delhi,
He quoted me following prices.
HDD SATA 160 GB samsung -> 2850
Creative 4.1 speakers(4400) -> 2450
Monitor 17" samsung (dynaflat) -> 5850
a geforce 7600gs based graphics card -> 6950
Mobo (DG965RYCK) -> 6800
Pentium D 925(3.0 GHz) -> 6900
DVD writer 16x (sony boxed one) -> 1950
1GB RAM (533 MHz) -> 5600
Intex royal cabinet with 400w power supply -> 1425

I was surprised to hear from him that there is no such thing like SATA II , he also told me that SATA does not have any RPM, i was told DG965WH is not available in Delhi ( i doubt seriously).
Please help me, Are the rates specified above fair enough.?.. I think he is charging extra on mobo, proccy, monitor and graphcs card.
please provide some help on the prices above (according to delhi only) and if anyone knows a good assembler in east delhi.

one more thing, I have a six year old 15" monitor, will that work properly with my new machine or not... I play a lot of games (not hight end but FIFA, and FPS games like RTCW). will it's refresh rate be enough to hold the graphics card.or should i purchase a new one.
help urgent. thanks

 

[Gaurav]

and what about the prices which i am told by an assembler.
will overclocking damage the cpu?
and that peace cabinet does it have front USB and MIC option available? where will it be available in delhi.? (east delhi)

 

[rajasekharan]

overclock never damages when done right...
hey u are just getting the system....
use it for sometime and then think about overclock......may be after 6 months or so or long

 

[Gaurav]

ok, but price of monitor is 5950 and you are saying it's costing around 4.5 k
that mobo gigabyte ds3 is about 12000 rs.
"sam9s", will purchasing a DG965WH or DG965RYCk do the trick or not.?

 

[morpheusv6]

Digit October issue rates 6600 GT having a better performance than 7300 GS.

 

[Gaurav]

But ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP board is based on P965 chipset, meaning I'll have to purchase a graphics card(can't afford it right now, will purchase it after sometime)., or only the board will do? i.e. there's no necessity to add an additional card. please help.
I am planning to buy gigabyte GA-965G-DS3 but which version i should buy rev. 1.0 or rev. 2.0, will i be able to add additional pci-ex graphics card later,? please suggest.

 

[Gaurav]

Thanks a lot, Now i have made up my mind. thank you all for your valuable advice. .
will get back soon whenever i'll have any query regarding my config. thanks

 

[Gaurav]
