This is my Final Config.. After 3 months of research!! :D

The soundcard is quite important to get a richer sound experience. You could add the soundcard later if you feel like though. Onboard sound does not compare to the sound you get from the standalone ones. My advice, go for onboard right now and then when you feel comfortable with your finances, get a soundcard...guaranteed performance increase.

Also, the creative inspire series don't stand a chance against the Logitech Z5300 (except for the inspire 5700D which is quite powerful).

No use of 6600 (256 MB), shell out a few bucks and get 6600 GT, It will be a wise choice and if you dont want to spend more then get the 128 MB version of GT, It costs much less !!!

 

[Toocool]

How about 6600 Ultra? It costs around 6k??

I dont wanna spend so much (11 to 12k) on a graphics card..

 

[hummer]

6600 ultra fr 6000. where did u get that rate frm.
is 6600ultra available??

 

[Toocool]

I have no idea.. My dealer said 6600 Ultra is for 6k.. I was really confused coz i never heard of it.. LOL

 

[rachitboom2]

Hey 6600GT 128 costs around 7-8 K its just 1 K more than 6600 ultra !!!

 

[Toocool]

But is 128 Mb good enough? i guess 256 mb is future proof!!

Actually there is now much diff in performance bwt 128 and 256 as compared to the price diff. !!!

 

[hummer]

ya none of the games can utilise the extea memory. better 2 stick 2 126 mb.

 

[Toocool]

Now it doesnt.. But what abt the future? I am gonna use this PC for atleast the next 2 years (minimum)

 

[hummer]

memory is not as imp as shader model, d3d support , open gl version,etc. fr two yrs future proofin u need not less than 6800 gt.

 

[rachitboom2]

Well you will be able to play any game for the next 2+ yrs even with a 6600GT but you might have tone down the ingame GFX a bit after a few yrs !!!

 

[madman123]

well, i'm not sure where you can get this screen, but i can give u the phone number...
Priya Ltd.
022-56663100
prom_bom@priyagroup.com
price: 320000
so u could try that...
and as for you toocool:
the viewsonic. is completely up to u...the response rate is the half of the samsung (4ms)...and it got the chip best performance award...
and as jay4u mentioned, abt the ram...if u'r planning on getting some decent stuff, such as transcend or corsair...and if u go for 1gb....try aroung 400-533 mhz ddr2...that will cost u around 10k...2 gb is much more then u need...

 

[madman123]

yo, am i safe to assume u're getting a pci-e board...so go for the 6600gt with 256....it's the best and u bet its future proof....for those 3k extra there is no living without...

hey dude we have already discussed earlier that the extra 3K for wont bring much of a difference so 128 MB is good enough !!!

 

[madman123]

u really believe that DOUBLE the memory won't make a difference...hmmm

 

[rachitboom2]

Yes it makes but the diff. if not as good as the increase in the price is !!!

 

[madman123]

well, i guess thats up to toocool to descide...the 6600gt from xfx costs 9k....if thats not worth for him...then the 128 mb is obviously the next best option

 

[hummer]

i don remember the issue of digit , sept most probably,
see the results urself there .how much diff the xtra 128 mb on 256 mb 6600gt makes.its negligible. if u can give some refrence where it makes a lot of diff, i ll agree 2 u .the case is fr 6600gt. :roll:

 

[rachitboom2]

In fact 6600GT 128MB is enough to play any current game with all the eye candy turned on !!!
