its nice but in your budget, you can have only an i7 proccy and mobo.... no ather stuff.... also if buying, get i7 930.... i7 920 has been discontinued.... price almost the same.... abt mobo, you may get anyone of the two.... they both are good....

@Rahul

I am very confused...I really like the MSI mobo having ATI card inbuilt + HDMI port.
But, want to know..whether MSI mobo's are reliable ??

 

[rahul.007]

But, want to know..whether MSI mobo's are reliable ??

they are very much reliable.... all the boards of premium category from almost each and every company is good and reliable....

i personally like msi better than asus.... using one myself....

 

[coderunknown]

all boards are reliable. all you need to do is buy from a good company. also don't get the cheapest board possible. get a low cost + descent board. the board is a good one. its mATX but well build. got support for Xfire. and at that price, it'll be worst decision to settle for a 2nd one.

Plz clear this :

Amd dnt have high temp. stability
amd shuts down after reaching around 55-60C
whereas intel can run upto 70C ..

 

[pulsar_swift]

thats not true. My 955 BE was running fine till 64 C ( I didnt dare to push it beyond 64). Are you gonna use your PC to do some temperature records ? The points is, at 100% usage, is the processor operating below its thermal rating. thats is what that matters.

Nope...No Temp. Records


Mobo : MSI 890GXM-G65 or GIGABYTE GA-880GM

Processor : AMD Phenom IIX6 1055t

Ram : Corsair or Kingston or Gskill ??

Cabinet : Cooler Master HAF 922 (Provides PowerSupply ???)

 

[pulsar_swift]

Gskill Ripjaws @ 6.2K i think. If you are not gonna OC, any thing will do. HAF 922 doesnt come with PSU. Even if its bundled its gonna a CM PSU from extreme power series, which is not at all advisable. HAF 922 is around 6.5 K( without PSU) i think.

Config suggested by Rahul is good enough. NZXT is hard to source in delhi. CM ELite 310 @ 1.5K should do the job

@pulsar_swift

What is the difference in -- > GIGABYTE GA-880GM & MSI 890gxm-g65 ???

& Is 400W enough for the given config ?

Config:


Processor: Amd Phenom IIx6 1055t
Motherboard: MSI 890gxm-g65 or GIGABYTE GA-880GM
Ram: Kingston or Corsair 2*2GB ddr3 1333mhz
HDD: Seagate 1TB SATA
DVD-RW: Samsung
GPU : Will buy next month
Cabinet: CM ELite or Zebronics Antibiotic

 

[pulsar_swift]

i dont know the difference, but MSI 890gxm-g65 is based on the latest 890 chipset. It supports crossfire @8X. If you can afford it @ 7.2K go for it.

A 400W PSU will be enough for your config. But you are saying you will add a GPU next month. I suggest you go for CORSAIR VX450 now itself. Else you will have to upgrade your PSU later if you are going for cards > HD5670.

880gma is 890gx without sata3 and usb 3.... it basically is a 790gx with igp hd 4290 instead of 4200....

thanks for the info bro

 

[rahul.007]

thanks for the info bro

my pleasure....

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

you are wrong here rahul--
880gma ud2h has sata 3 and usb 3 (880g + sb850)
880gm ud2h(which i got) doesnt have usb3 and sata3....its 880g chipset with sb710 southbridge....and its got hd4250 onboard

880g has hd4250
890gx has hd4290

 

[rahul.007]

oops.... gma messed the things up.... thanks for clearing the things up jas.... pulsar swift, sorry bro that a messed the things up....

 

[mavihs]

@OP

[bajaj151]

Do I need Graphics card for MSI 890gxm-g65, as sometimes I do Video Editing also...rest just the normal use...
