isn't the PSU which comes with Zebrnoics Cabinets like Bijli, AntiBiotic good enough for 9600GT ?

My friend has 8800GT on the stock PSU of Zebronics Anti Biotic....

running 8800GT on Zebronics 500W is ok, but 9600GT need PSUs with more stable power ratings....Zebronics PSUs r not stable...their 12V rail ampere ratings vary on load

ok guys im going with E5200 as its not what i thought..!! its really cool...
But what abt mobo??
if G31-->old cab+not future proof..!
if p35-->new cab+future proof..! but going almost out of budget..!!
what to do?

Thanks !! You cleared my doubts. But that's sad about PSU. We will have to shell out more then right ??

What about HD4670 Then ?? ZEB 500 Not oK ?

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^ ya, HD4670 will run fine on Zeb. 500W PSU

 

[dinesh_ddt]

can i go with hd4670 instead???
is it bttr or equal to 9600GT?

 

[j1n M@tt]

HD4670 is better than 9600GT, but at some places due to its availability, its price is higher than 9600GT

 

[saqib_khan]

Yup go for HD4670 . It also runs cooler than 9600GT.

 

[dinesh_ddt]

1 suggestion

dont go for 4 gb ram, 3 gb 800fsb is more than enough.

u will not get any xtra performance if u have 4 gb.

anyway good config. happy gaming.

 

[saqib_khan]

^^ let him go for 4 GB, as that would make him future proof.

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^+1, purchasing as 3GB RAM is almost the same price of 4GB, so let him buy dat. and with the release of SP1 for Vista, Vista utilizes 4GB RAM....same will be the case with upcoming OS Windows 7.

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

3GB is completely lame.

 

[dinesh_ddt]

ok ill go with 4gb ram itself..!!
but now, with e5200 can i go with p35 chipset or g31??
which is the cheapest mobo supporting 8GB of ram.????
