Assemble it for Rs 60,000

Dear friends I will be taking admission in Maharaja Surajmal college for BCA programme. I wish to built a PC for Rs 60,000. Please help me choose the right parts. Here goes the description for the budget and requirments.

1) TWO HDD - seagate baracuda ( 320GB/ 7200 rpm ) Rs. 6,000
2) 2-4 GB RAM Kingston(I DONT REMEMBER THE MODEL NO) Rs. 4,000
3) Dual Core Processor ( AMD OR INTEL) Rs. 15,000
4) Mohterboard Rs. 15,000

5) Cabinet, powersupply, cooling solution etc, Rs. 5,000
6) TWO DVD dual layer writers( YES i need two of them ) Rs. 5,000
( SHALL buy one as external)

OTHER STUFF (Rs. 10,000)

a)twO LAN CARDS( One for tata and other for sify, so that I dont have
two plug out the ethernet wire ),
b) GRAPHICS TABLET ( a good one )
keyboard and mouse I already have and any cheap display screen will
work fine .
Please remind me if I am forgetting something. ( forget the UPS or graphics card )

What do you want to do with your PC. Such high end PC is built for gaming. But Rs 30k for mobo and processor combo and only 10k for graphics card and TWO!! LAN cards is like bottlenecking your PC.
Can't help you if you dont provide what you are planning to use your PC for.

dood u wont need 2 LAN cards cuz most new high end mobos hav two gigabit lan ports.also dec ur budget on proccy + mobo to 20k and get a gfx card for 20k.then it'll be a well balanced system.

whatever I typed just got cleared..... damn computer... it hanged in between.
Just simple thing my father has given me 60k to spend either on bike or on computer.

Lets first decide a good combination of processor and motherboard for Rs. 20,000 - Rs. 30,000. Rest of the things we will dedcide later.

hmmm.. Lemme suggest u one...

U dun need 30k which u're over spendin, worth no use... 20k-23k's decent enuf...

ASUS P5B-Deluxe/Wi-Fi- Rs. 11000
C2D6700- Rs. 15000 (Not sure; changes frm place to place)

Since u wanted an external coolin, its wise if u go fer d Ultra-120... Tho u need to attach an xtra 120mm fan.. Go fer an Antec blue LED- 120mm fan, (Since its Intel!!!

)
Its got a good speed albeit noise's a li'l high compared to coolermaster ones...

O'clock d proccy n u've a good machine in hand....

Choose a cabinet frm zebronics.. Dunno any specific model...

And a coolermaste igreen600W PSU fer some 4k.... Powersafe 600W which I've is a good one I'd bot last yr... Fetched 5k but shud be cheaper now... Lots of connectors.. PCI-E conn.. 22A on 12V rails... 2 90mm fans... Sleeved cables...

No gfx card huh???

for such high config I thought onboard graphics would be good enough.
But u may suggest a good one, since above two total out to be just 25k.

about the processor C2D6700 explain a little bit and would it prove to be a powerhorse for my dream machine in 60k.

Antec NSK 6500 computer case
MSI K9N Platinum motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 4200+ processor
Thermaltake Big Typhoon cpu cooler
Crucial Ballistix PC2-8000 DDR2 memory (2GB)
Western Digital SE16 500GB SATA 300 GB/s hard drive
ATI Radeon X1950 Pro video card
Sony DRU-830A DVD RW drive

this is what I got from net can u tell me the cost of above and whether they are availablein india or not.

Here is the config I think is right for u

Intel E6300 - 8500
NVIDIA 650i Ultra - 6k
Ethernet Card - 800 (not sure)
1GB DDR 2 Memory 2500
2X250GB WD 7200 RPM HDD - 6.5k
2x Liteon 16x DVD RW - 3k
GeForce 8600GT - 9k
keyboard/mouse/cabinet/450W SMPS - 3k
23" LCD - 25k ( must be kidding...but asus mu210( somehting).. 22 inch with 2ms respnose time is good deal)

Total - 65k

And a good guy has adviced me the above

Here are few components I have decided

1) Graphics card

GeForce 8600GT Rs 16,000 or XFX 8600GTS Rs 8,5000

Want to know the price of gigabyte GA 965G DS 3 ?
Which one will be a good choice in terms of price first then performance?

2) Processor

core 2 Duo E6300 Rs 9,000 I'm ready to spend few bugs more to get a good one .

3) Motherboard

FOXCONN 975X7 AB 8EKRS2H Rs 10,750

4) HDD
Western Digital CAVIAR SE16 WD,...(one which was reviewed this month)
Rs. 4,500

5) RAM ...6) Cabinet...7) Powersupply /..etc yet to be decided

K

for cabinet go for chieftec(best value for money). SMPS go for seventeam 550W(real power) for 5K.

whats the price and how about the looks?
I want my babe to look like the asus one.

shall I order an alienware desktop for Rs.72000.... what do you say?
would I get a screen also or just the cabinet things

Nvidia 8800 series graphics card needs lot of space. so make sure u choose the right cabinet. i have bought a LBX-01-BBB cabinet. its looks r moderate but its a large cabinet n can easily fit Nvidia 8800 cards or ATI 2900 cards.

Dood...

Firstly is dat an 8600Gt fer 16k and a GTS fer 8500??? ( Actually 85000!!!

)

Mus be 8800GTS 320... But tat shud be around 18k....

Gettin an Alienware'll be fine as long as u suffer frm any problems with dat comp... U'll hav to mail d stuff bak to US if any part needs replacement..
Dats not a wise option..

U looked d likes of the Alien cabby, understood but dat doesn mean u'll hav to order those... And did u forget d shippin charges of d thing?? Mus be somethin close to 6-7k...

H

Get an E6600 + Asus P5B Deluxe IMO. Should be around 22k. And also buy good quality RAM, not the cheap Value stuff. Good RAM can do wonders for the system.

As for Alienware, not really mate. Don't think it's officially available here. Would cost you a lot to ship the whole system in India. Get a good Antec cabinet, like Super Lanboy, or a Cooler Master Stacker 830. Both have nice looks.

But what about the price???

And about good RAM?

K

if u r not too bend upon looks, LBX case would be the best. it would cost u 4K+shipping incase u r not from mumbai. for RAM go for corsair or if u don't have problem with a used one, kniwor is selling his OCZ RAMs(excellent quality) here is the link.

AT amazon 107.5 Dollars..... this was a good deal. Ha lost it
Is there anything else ..

K

check this
*www.memory-configurator.com/produc...K_Series_4_4_4_12_Dual_Channel_kit/index.html

RAM +shipping =78+30 Euro = 5940/- add 700/- for customs duty = 6640/- + -100 bucks

aren't there any site like newegg.com that ships to India, i.e. please don't say ebay, like say if I want to buy graphics cards etc., etc....

K

newegg's prices are very competitive. i wish they shipped to india as well

but they don't

. as for graphics cards u can get it shipped but the custom duty is very high. u end up paying almost same minus the warranty

yeah, wish I had friends in US....
and what will be the customs for motherboards

hi I bought a kingston 512mb DDR1 RAM for Rs.2200 and Western Digital HDD 80 Gb for Rs.2300 from Nehru Place ..was it a good deal?

D

H

Why DDR1?

1) Intel core 2 Duo E6700 Rs 17,000 (22 is about to come whats the expected price of this one and quad one)
