lol ^^+1 for doomgiver

fill up the bleeding template and post it here. we cant help unless we know more.

also, have you used any amd product before?

S

'yes' i have used AMD thats why i told in my area AMD get a moisture problem so i am going for inel..
So need better suggestions on mother boards... Whether i should go for intel mother boards or Asus or Bios-star... Or any other best which can also be helpful for future upgrades...

Moisture problem occurs with motherboard due to their build quality issues, irrespective of their supported CPU type, AMD or Intel.
Our forum member Vickybat has suffered this moisture issue with his Intel P55QL motherboard and his board is now with Intel service center guys. It is not specific to any particular brand.
Get a quality mobo from Asus, Gigabyte or MSI to reduce the chance of these kind of issues.
At a budget of 16K, a Sandybridge Core i3 CPU and mobo, 500 GB HDD, 2GB Graphics card and good amount of ram is simply not posible. You have to sacrifise in some areas. So please fill up the PC Building Template as suggested by other members.

guys i need for intel core i3 support boards not amd so please.... i also mentioned it before....

T

If you want Hardcore gaming i.e. Good GFX with i3 then you will need to stretch budget by another 6k minimum

Yes, the cheapest Sandybridge i3 2100 is priced at 5.6K and a decent H67 mobo will cost you around 4.5K. So the processor + Motherboard alone will cost you 10.1K. Now accomodating all the other components within 8k is simply not possible.

I have not read anywhere that AMD has moisture problem.......

And AMD is best for budget like yours Intel is for those who can pay a lot.....

Go with what Jassy has recommended....

I think you still will get an Intel i3 with compromising with a Cheap Cabby+PSU combo... Don't ignore the expert recommendation...

The 2 to 3 best local dealers said that 95 percent of customers get moisture problem... Either in month or a 2weeks after buying. 'The above suggested assembels are best' said by my local dealer when i showed these replies. but he is saying that problem will come if i buy it... Because in the time of our discus 2 customers came with AMD problem after testing dealer told its moisture problem it was only few week they buyed that pc. thanks to all who replied....

lol at your dealers. do a poll about moisture problem with AMD config here & your doubts will get answered by itself :smile:

and most problems are not with the motherboard, but the crap psu they use.

Hmm..Moisture doesnt see AMD cpu and say I'll attack it coz dealer says so! If anything ,moisture should have pity on AMD after bulldozer fiasco

Dont listen to these stupid dealers... Hmm did u notice the difference in the prices of intel SB and AMD procys...maybe it has sumting to do with tht ;-)

For 18k intel build wont be feasible.

Id say go for either HD6770 or HD6850.
"The 6790 is a flustercluck of basically defective parts reused to fill a niche. The 6790 is in essence a 6870 with defective parts deactivated." The 6790 is high on power requirements and has a high TDP too and performance is slightly better than the 6770, So get it if only u get a very good deal. Else again u are better off paying little more for 6850 and gaining lot more performance in return.

Give a damn to whatever the local dealers say. At your budget, AMD is the best option. Lots of forum members are using AMD based systems without any problem. And do get a quality PSU by any means.

ok guys if AMD gives that much great performence then i go with it whatever it may happen i am not that much good at hardware so the problem will be psu...! K thanks guys i ll choose one of above and i wish it will not give me problem

it is not a bad card. fills spot between 6770 and 6850 nicely.

please go through these -
AMD Radeon HD 6790 1GB Video Card Review - The AMD Radeon HD 6790 Graphics Card - Legit Reviews
AnandTech - AMD's Radeon HD 6790: Coming Up Short At $150
Sapphire Radeon HD 6790 Graphics Card Review - Introduction

about power consumption its not a problem. its just around 6850.

but yes if op can spend 1.7k more then 6850 is wroth it.

Everything depends on pricing. If 6790 is priced closer to 6850, its a no brainer.

Processor AMD Athlon II X2 250
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P (rev. 3.1)
RAM G-skill F3-10600CL9S-2GBNT
Graphic Card Sapphire 6790
HDD Seagate 500GB 12
PSU FSP Saga II 500W
Case Zebronics Bijli(w/o psu)

for this config what component should be changed if there will be a 'phenom2 proc and 1tb sata' and mention price too.. Because now i can manage to spend till 20k.and this price is highest i can spend...

Go for a 6670 then , will cost around 5.4k/

No need for Phenom 2 , X4 635 would be good enough i think.

Are you just following the workds of your 'best dealers' ??? Remember , they are businessmen first , here people take out their own time to advice others , who do you think is more trustworthy ?

S

satisfactory configuration for me now
proc- phenom 2 995 BE-OC-3.6 Ghz at stock volt /cooler (975 BE) price- ?

Mobord- Gigabyte GA-880 GM-USB 3 (rev. 3.1) price- around 3k to 3.5k.

Gpu- totally i am confused from above gpu list

Ram- any 2gb ddr 3 price-1200

psu- Corsair VX450w price- 3750-4000.

Hdd- segate 1TB. Price - 3100- 3200.

Cabinate- i have one cabinet of my old pc (hp compaq p4 ver box buyed in 2006).

So by above lists from known price it will be around 11.9k. So in 8.1k Need suitable gpu and a processor price which i mentioned above... Pls reply with respect to above config. Pls

or i ll confuse again.

I dont doubt the performance Im just talking from a vfm POV.
Performance wise(as Ive seen in Toms H/W charts) the 6790 performs closer to the 6770 than the 6850 while consuming as much as the 6850.

Price wise 6770 starts at 6.5k, 6790 is for 8.5k, 6850 is for 9.7k

^sapphire is 7.8k so its vfm.

Processor - Athlon II X4 645-4k
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P (rev. 3.1) -2.8k
RAM G-skill F3-10600CL9S-4GBNT(4Gx1)-1.3k
Graphic Card Sapphire 6770-6.6k
HDD Seagate 1TB 7200.12- 2.9k
PSU FSP Saga II 500W -2.4k
Total-20k

10. When are you planning to buy the system?
A: on december 15th or before

My suggestion, wait for as long as possible. Prices may come down at that time or after that.
