TR Budget PC configuration of the month[AMD Based]

[blueshift]

Is 512 MB sufficient while burning DVDs? Thats why I pointed.
Asus P5N-MX
Has onboard nVidia G7 chip. Cheap and good compared to Abit P35.

 

[desiibond]

yes. I even burned DVD's on my old PC that had:

Intel P3 1.1GHz
256mb ram

 

[narangz]

Yes no problem with DVD writing, blueshift.

 

[blueshift]

Ok. I learnt somewhere that DVD burning also depends on RAM apart from procc and HDD speed.
Sorry..I am going offtopic.

On my current system, I burn DVD while wathing a highdef movie.

Yes, it depends upon proccy, RAM & HDD speed. However, I guess, the DVD writers vary writing speed to match the input speed. I am not too sure about this, but I noticed this myself.

OK guys... If you REALLY wanted to spend some extra bucks, check out the new config I put up... replaced 15" with 17", threw in 1GB dual channel 800MHz DDR2 ram(don't say now that atleast 2GB is needed ) and the price stayed below 15K.... I guess miracles still happen.

 

[narangz]

@MHG- Does that Mobo support 800 MHz RAM? I haven't seen its specifications so I am not sure about that.

 

[blueshift]

It does not.

 

[narangz]

Thanks blueshift

If I say than save for a week or something and get this -

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
XFX 790i Motherboard (from NVIDIA)(XFX is a better company than MSI or sumthing)
4GB Corsair Dominator Gaming RAM @1066MHz
1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD 7200.11
2 x NVIDIA 9800 GX2 GPU
24" BenQ LCD Monitor
Logitech G15 and G9 Keyboard and Mouse
Logitech Z-5500 speakers
Creative Fatal1ty Headset
Zalman CNPS9500 Fan (CPU)
Thermaltake BigWater SE
A case from Nemesis
and atlast Steelseries StellMat



Thats a El Cheapo budget PC for those who have a tight budget. Will be just under Rs.1,20,000 but thats called dirt cheap.


For a eXtreme and eXpensive HD setup, i recommand the following

AMD X2 5200+
AMD 780 Chipset
2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
320 gig HDD from Hitachi or Seagate
a NVIDIA 8400GS 256MB (Galaxy is the best here)
Microsoft Optical Mouse and Keyboard Set
Creative SBS 245 2.0 Speakers
19" ViewSonic VA1912w or Samsung 945BW


It will cost around 30k. Only for the seriously rich spender!

 

[desiibond]

Then how do you guys define low end PC? Under 10K?
IMO 1 GB is must in budget pc.

Oh wait I don't know anything about PCs. It's my cat typing on this keyboard

yes. 10k PC is the low end PC.

here it goes:

1) AMD SEMPRON LE 1100 AM2 Processor. Rs.1,100
2) ASUS M2N - MX SE : Rs.2,300
3) 512MB DDR2 667: Rs. 700
4) 80gig HDD: 1800
5) iball designer cabinet: Rs.600
6) 15" CRT: Rs.3,500
7) k/b and mouse: Rs.500
8) DVD writer: 1.1k

Price till here : 11k

if necessary, add speakers and UPS to that.

What do you call this? In IT world, it's called low end PC.

@naragz, stop giving control of you PC to your cat

@MHG- Does that Mobo support 800 MHz RAM? I haven't seen its specifications so I am not sure about that.

It does not.

If I remember, AMD 690G supports 800MHz ram and hence so should this mobo.
And thanks to desibond, I think you can replace that mobo with his asus m2n mx se and save Rs. 300/- extra, but its GPU supposedly sucks to the extreme according to some reviews, as its the 6100 card. But 690G has HD1250, which can run quite a few games.

yes. 10k PC is the low end PC.

here it goes:

1) AMD SEMPRON LE 1100 AM2 Processor. Rs.1,100
2) ASUS M2N - MX SE : Rs.2,300
3) 512MB DDR2 667: Rs. 700

@naragz, stop giving control of you PC to your cat

corrections:

for 1800, you get 160GB hdd
512 mb DDR2 667 is Rs. 450; Transcend/Kingston value ram

 

[desiibond]

cool. That means I can get a 80gig HDD and DDR2667 and keep the price at around 10k
perfect lowend PC

I was pretty happy with my 6100 onboard GPU for 2 yrs. Could play games like prostreet at low settings. anyways, got 2600xt now

 

[blueshift]

If I remember, AMD 690G supports 800MHz ram and hence so should this mobo.

sorry..it does support 800MHz ram.

But what is HD1250 you are talking about? Is that Radeon X1250 chip?

 

[paranj]

Hey no comments on the configuration i submitted? I am heart-broken really! (

 

[narangz]

^^Nice config & sarcasm

@MHG- Alright. Thanks

@blueshift- NP

 

[paranj]

hey maybe we buy the super-computer from NASA? We will share a 10,000 Rs each (every1 on the board) and maybe we can afford it! What say guys?

 

[acewin]

nice idea, but I think it will still be out of budget, have you got the price slab by them on which they would be selling the super computer.
