Upgrading CPU under 22K

assembling new CPU + mobo + RAM + GFX Card under 22K

settling for :>

Core i7 920
MSI X58 ProE
GTS 450 ----- (is it available (delhi)??)
2GB Kingston DDR3 1333MHz
CPU Cooler

need to do some serious rendering stuff, more focus on CPU than GFX

also will 450W be suffcient ?

which is better in Nehru Place rashi Peripherals or Cost to Cost ????

price can rise to 26K and not more

I really don't think that you can fit Core i7 + motherboard + graphic card + RAM in less than 26k.

Rashi sucks. Cost to Cost, Computer Empire and SMC International -- these are good.

increase your budget!
you can get an i7 in the above budget, 2GB RAM is way too less for rendering & you'll need a new SMPS also if your 450W is a local SMPS(which brand you have?)!

Core i7 LGA 1366 is damn costly also the x58 chipset is also costly.
Go for LGA 1156 i5/i7 along with H55/P55 based mobo... which might fit into your buget under 26k.

Intel is really sucking due to sooo many sockets also 2 new sockets coming next year so a total of 5 sockets form next year....
so there will be hell lot of compatibility issues.... After Q3 2011 when sandy-bridge comes in...
 
smps : 450W intex :ashamed:

will be conforming price list today.

upgrade RAM 2*2GB
downgrade CPU core i5 760
downgrade mobo MSI P55-GD65

what abt GFX ??

760 not as good for rendering as compared to 1055t.

AMD Phenom II x6 1055t @ 9.5k
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4.5k
2 * 2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 5k
Zotac GTS450 1GB @ 8k (estimated)
Corsair CX400W @ 2.7k

Total - 29.7k

which monitor and cabinet you are using?

or if you dont need the rig urgently you can wait for GT440 till october i suppose.

You can go with Jaskanwar's config. Its perfect. Just change the gfx card to HD 5670 1GB @ 6k (1GB as you are rendering) and PSU to FSP saga 500W @ 2.2k if you can't pay 30k
 
^ true.. homing on that config.
(quiet satisfied by LG flatron W2043T & I dont need a cabinet)

now ... for a reality check:
(nehru place)
-----------------------------------------
AMD 1090t + 890GXM + 2*2GB =26,300

i7 950 = 15.5K
i5 760 = 11K

2GB DDR3 = 2K

GTS 250 = 6.4K
HD 5750 = 7.3K

guessing the 1st combo would be down to 24K if i spend some more hrs...:razz:

didnt find any MSI p55 boards only asus...:cry:

now the second most imp thing ....PSU.... (suggestions needed !!!)

comments !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>>>>???!!!!
(suggest some more shops at nehru place. other than cost2cost & SMC)

i have already suggested you psu along with other components. going with i7 950 and x6 1090t is increasing your budget by a large amount. remember you also need a gpu. so can you spend that much?

GTS250 is a big no, very power hungry. also look at nvidia based cards. CUDA will help you a lot in rendering. thats why i said to wait for GT440 if GTS450 is becoming out of budget.

Will GTS 440 be within 6k? I think CX400 is a bit low for X6 + GTS 450. At least VX450 will be needed to be safe. CX400 is just about enough.

nothing beats jassy's config :doublethumb:

well Intel already ended the LGA775 sockets life. yes it'll continue launch faster variants of the Dual Cores for sometime. so next year it'll EOL the LGA1156 & the LGA1336 (late 2011). so you get only 2 sockets. not 5.

I think CX400 is a bit low for X6 + GTS 450. At least VX450 will be needed to be safe. CX400 is just about enough.

won't be low at all. the PC will require ~250W amount of power. easily deliverable by the CX400W.
 
@Jaskanwar Singh
thnks the specs. confirming costs....

will get back later..........

4. CX400 =1.7K
5. 2*2 GB Kingston =5.3K

Neither. GTX 460 is better than them both.

GTX 465 is the sucky GF100 whereas GTX 460 is the good GF104.

1. phenome II x6 1055t + MSI 890GX = 16,900
..
3. phenome II x6 1090t + MSI 890GX = 24,700
If the motherboard mentioned in 3. is the same mentioned in 1., then 3. is overpriced by atleast Rs.3000.

I am assuming the motherboard to be MSI 890GXM-G65. Please confirm.

You can settle for a cheaper motherboard like Gigabyte 880GM UD2H @ 4.8k or Gigabyte 880GMA UD2H @ 5.5k or MSI 880GMA E45 @ 5.8k if you don't need crossfire.
