Upgrading PC in 17k budget.

[ankush28]

Guys i dont understand these fancy words like APU or IGPU, so please try to keep it simple.

As i hve already mentioned a dedicated Graphics card i will install after 6-8 mnths as i m out of budget right now.

So right now 17-18K i will spend only on PROCESSOR, MOBO, RAM , HARD DISK. Out of which i hve decided to buy Corsair ram 4gb 1333Mhz (2K) & 1TB WD HD (4k)

APU is accelerated processing unit by AMD they have very good igpu
IGPU - integrated graphic processing unit that comes in processor.
But if you are planning to add discrete graphic then apu is not option.

I hve been using Intel P4 2.4 Ghz for over 8 yrs now & almost every component of my PC has either been replaced or been repaired except it so i m a little biased towards INTEL. If upto 7K ne AMD can perform better than INTEL please suggest considering i will only play games, watch HD movies & net surfing.

My frnd's AMD Dual core proc stopped working in 1 yr dats why i hve a bad impression of AMD.

as far as i know both amd and intel processor last long.i heared Very rare cases when processor failed

I hve Nehru Place's reputed shop Cost to Cost price list *www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.costtocost.in%2Flist%2Fpricelist.pdf&ei=WEzmUYX-GMPmrAe7pYCABQ&usg=AFQjCNHJbyXqc3fdjg8HLFrp08Cb6cG6OQ&bvm=bv.49405654,d.bmk&cad=rja

It says AMD BULLDOZER FX 6300 is 7K & at Flipkrt AMD 4.4 GHz AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 (FD6300WMHKBOX) Processor 7.9K AMD 4.4 GHz AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 (FD6300WMHKBOX) Processor - AMD: Flipkart.com I need to know are they both same? If yes then do compare with i3 3220.

 

[vishu_ka]

Guys i hve finally decided to go for AMD FX-6300 after reading I3 3220 vs fx 6300 - CPUs - CPUs (whatever i could understood).
Just need to know is AMD BULLDOZER FX 6300 & AMD 4.4 GHz AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 are they both same? Bcoz at Flipkrt & Local shop there is a price difference of around 900rs.

THANKS

 

[avinandan012]

no point suggesting intel. All pro-amd here.

i hope i dont get an infraction for this.

Guys please suggest an Intel based solution

 

[Nerevarine]

good choice, remember to pair it up with a worthy motherboard..

 

[Nighthawk12]

Go for this motherboard if you're tight on budget - ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 Motherboard - ASUS: Flipkart.com

Otherwise the motherboard Cilus mentioned.

 

[ankush28]

op can opt for 3rd/4th gen i5 also if increase budget by lil bit
and that will completely beat 6300

Intel i5-3550+Intel Z75ml-45k

 

[vishu_ka]

good choice, remember to pair it up with a worthy motherboard..

Now since i hve decided AMD FX-6300 , everyone now please suggest its some good compatible mobo upto 4.5K

Two recommendation i got are-
1) Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3
2) ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2

ne1 else?

Thnks Ankush but i cant afford it. Even if i can, it would be like driving Lamborghini on Indian roads bcoz i wont be utilising its capacity.
AMD FX-6300 over i3-3220 is enough for me.

 

[vishu_ka]

One more thing i need to know bout 6300-
FD6300WMW6KHK is an OEM/tray microprocessor
FD6300WMHKBOX is a boxed microprocessor

wat is the diff b/w the two? price diff is around 2.5K

 

[ankush28]

buy boxed one
on tray or OEM processor MANY TIME no warrenty no cpu fan and worst packaging
btw i think you are asking after reading cpuworld spec sheet.
Generally tray processor are not available easily in india

so finally what you have decided to buy?
which graphic card??

FX 6300 does NOT have an igp, so you WILL need a graphic card to use a monitor.

 

[Nighthawk12]

ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 mobo has an inbuilt HD 3000 I guess..

 

[amjath]

ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 mobo has an inbuilt HD 3000 I guess..

Yep M5A78L-M LX V2 - Motherboards - ASUS

 

[Nighthawk12]

So go for it...

For a second there, i thought WTF, intel iGPU on AMD mobo ?? Then I saw its AMD Integrated ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 GPU not Intel HD 3000

Atleast you didn't mistake it for nVidia Quadro 3000m
