Right off the assembly line
I am planning to purchase new custom config for gaming + designing + development, so after scratching my brains for few days, i have finally sorted down to these choices, i need a good configuration of mobo + proc + mem which will last me a couple of years, so please recommend the best + reliable ones from below
Processor
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 = 3.6k
Core 2 Duo - 2.80Ghz - E7400 = 6.3k
I have gone through some posts on the forum and heard that E5200 is the best one for overclocking + the price is low + its nice for gaming, so please suggest E5200 or E7400 ?
Motherboard
Asus - P5N - MX - Nvidia GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i = 2.4k
P5N - 73 - AM - Nvidia GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i = 2.4k
P5N - 73 - CM - Nvidia GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i = ?
P5N - EM - HDMI - Nvidia GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i = ?
I think ASUS Nvidia GeForce / nForce Mobo will be the best for gaming but as i am going for Palit GPU, do you think Palit Mobo + Palit GPU will make an better combination and give me the best performanance for gaming ?
Currently i am going for 2 GB RAM, then i will be upgrading to 4 GB within few months, so the Mobo should support 4 GB RAM
RAM / Memory Stick
2 GB DDR II 800 Mhz = 1.25k
I think Kingston will be better than Transcend, what do you think?
Anything better than Kingston in the same price range ?
HDD
250 GB - Seagate SATA II - 7200.10 RPM / Barracuda = 2k
320 GB - Seagate SATA II - 7200.10 RPM / Barracuda = 2.2k
500 GB - Seagate SATA II - 7200.10 RPM / Barracuda = 3k
Which one to go for ?
Cabinet - ATX - Black
Cool Master Elite 300 = 1.6k
Zebronics Bijli = 1.6k
Anything better ?
PSU / SMPS
Cool Master 460w extreme plus = 2.6k
Cool Master 500w extreme = 2.8k
Cool Master 600w extreme = 3.5k
Corsair CX400 - 400w = 3.2k
VIP Silver OEM FSP - 500w = ?
Tagan Stone Rock - TG500-U37 - 500w (Max Power upto 600w) = 3.7k
I am totally newbie to PSU's, so please recommend the best one ?
GPU
Palit 9400 GT Super - 512 MB / DDR2 = 2.8k
9400 GT Super - 1 GB / DDR2 = 3.1k
8600 GT - 512 MB / DDR3 / HDMI = 3.5k
HD 4670 Super - 512 MB / DDR3 /128 bit/ HDMI = 5.1k
Suggest please ?
I will be purchasing the custom config within the next 3 days, so please suggest soon, thank you and sorry for the long post
