Budget 12-15K just for mobo,CPU,RAM,HDD,SMPS

B

Hi,

I need to buy mobo, CPU, RAM, HDD, SMPS.

Budget is 12-15K , place of buy : Kolkata.

Please suggest a configuration.

Is branded PC possible with that price?

In general if I assemble it how is the performance?

Thanks,
BT

assembled ones are always better than branded ones!!

suggested CX400 because unavailability of FSP PSU in kolkata local market..if you can order online then FSP Saga II 500 W @2.1K..you can go for 500gb hdd @1.7k if you want to save money!!

Very good config masterkd.
OP, u can go for this config.

Yes, Assembled PCs are always better than Branded.
Reasons
* You get better components for the same price.
* Most Branded PCs provide only 1yr warranty but in a Assembled system u get a min of 3yr.
And many more..

Thanks masterkd.
looks very good.

May I use AMD Athlon II X3 , does it a drastic change or OK?
500 GB is OK.
little bit cheaper MOBO?

Which one is better buying from local shop or online?

If any issue in component, How to get the warranty?
I have to take the component to local RMA?

what are the shops in kolkata I can try for peace of mind?

Thanks,
BT

^no, x4 is much more futureproof. go ahead with it.
dont go cheaper than this - Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4k

yes you can take it to local rma. if not any then send it back to them(online store).
first look if components are there locally. if not then order online.

B

understood.

can you modify little bit to make the total around 13k.

BT

you can get a 500gb seagate 7200.12 or western cavier blue. it will reduce 1k. rest is recommended.

@soumyajit, regarding AMD your comp guy is bluffing, moreover within 10k no good intel config is there, plus below 7k segment of processors AMD rocks..for suggestion make your own thread and fill the questionnaire..we cam guide you properly then!!

@bengaltiger, get 500 gb hdd that will settle your config to 14.4k..if you don't add gpu later then you can settle with FSP saga II 400w @1.7k but you have to buy online..rest are as Jas said reconnended..for shop Vedant (22129832) and eastern logica (22256455) are recommended at chandni chawk!!

B

in similar price range, please suggest some mobo of different company (ASUS or MSI) which can be available in Kolkata.

BT

~4.5K this is the one..you may get M4A88T-M LE @3.7k but better stick with Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H!!
other suggestions:
msi 880gma-e45 @5.4k
Gigabyte GA 880GA UD3H @5.5k
Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 @5.5k
ASUS M4A87TD USB3 @5.6k (non-igp)
