theres a gigabyte board based on 740G. better than Nvidia based chipsets. will link you to it soon.

ajai5777 said:

A-Data. & save a few hundred bucks more.

ajai5777 said:
Seagate 500GB HDD @ 2.2k

should be available for 2k. or may go for Samsung or WD Green. both 2k.

WOW. no other word. 18k on a full PC. DDR3 based. go branded & see what available for 18k. maybe not even a single nettop (no monitor).

any. frontech. zebronics. iball.

heres the link to the motherboard: GA-MA74GMT-S2.

*www.gigabyte.in/FileList/Image/mb_productimage_ga-ma74gmt-s2_big.jpg

looks descent. cost about 2.3-2.4k

dats a great config for 18k

THANK YOU ALL.

@ SAM SAHAB

Pls land me up in a final config with the mobo you specified.

@ SAM SAHAB

Pls land me up in a final config with the mobo you specified.

Processor: Athlon II X2 250 3GHz: 3K (or maybe less)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2 @ 2.4k (should be available locally)
Ram: A-Data 2Gb DDR3 1333Mhz @ 2.5k
Hard Disk: Western Digital 500Gb Green @ 2k
Optical Drives: LG GH22NS50 @ 1.1k (or 20X @ 1k)
Cabinet + PSU: any iBall or Zebronics or Frontech @ 1k (lot of them available).
Monitor: AOC 15.6" @ 4.7k (suggested by ajai previously)
Keyboard Mouse: Logitech Internet Desktop @ 0.6k

Total: 17.2k. bargain & get it for 17k. killer deal.

speaker + UPS: user choice. ~2k for it.

It is a very good config. It is very tough to get a PC below 18k with a dual core CPU. If your budget is really tight, you could save further by buying an ASUS motherboard & DDR2 RAM. But since you have accepted this, I suppose you are good with this budget. Still, I would suggest you get a 17" wide screen If it fits.
Also, don't compromise on the keyboard mouse, a cheap logitech is much better than local products priced a little lower. Logitech's would last long. Also, don't go for a frontech cabinet, iBall or zebronics would be better. I'm suggesting these because retailers try to sell Microsoft instead of logitech & things like that. Don't let the retailer's suggestion change your decisions (config).

Never ever do that.They always try to sell things having less demand.Never ask them which is best, they will show any item to reach their target.
I was a victim of this luckily not now.

He is asking what is the FSB of that MOBO. I do not KNOW whther mobo itself has any FSB.

FSB is dead & gone. now is time for Intel QuickPath (Nahalem & Gulftown) & AMD HyperTransport 3.0 (K10 architecture & fusion).

conveyed the message.

He is going to have the machine within a week.
Another dumb qns: Project igi can be played in it?

See if you can squeeze some cash off by going for a cheaper 2K mobo and Athlon II X2 240 (which will save another Rs. 500).

Then you can squeeze in a GPU like the ATI Radeon HD4350 (2k) or HD5450 (2.6K) or HD4670 (3k). Increasing order of performance obviously.

If you manage even the first GPU, you can significantly increase performance while gaming if your friend intends to play games on the PC.

not sure but Crysis? yes, @ 800X600, lowest details. will get a fast slide show or say, will just run somehow. so IGI too should :grin:

^^That's why I said try to stuff in a GPU somehow

I think your prices are too optimistic
I was looking for a cheap GPU only last week and got the price of HD5450 at 4100 & HD4670 (1GB DDR3) at 4300. of course, if HD4670 is available at 4300, the shop where I got HD450 for 4100 must have been joking. I mean, the performance gap is huge, why should there be a difference of just Rs. 200? That shop did not have HD4670 in stock.

This one is also too optimistic :-D

Guys my friend(ACTUALLY COLLEGUE) has gone to one of his friends who runs a cyber café. And that fellow has given him the following config:

Amd 7350 ATHLON D.C.L PROCCY 3050/-
ASUS 6350G MOBO 2350/-
250GB SEAGATE 1825/-
CABBY+PSU INTEX 450W 950/-
RAM 2GB DDR2 2800/-
MONITOR DELL 19” 6250/-
OPTICAL DRIVE 22X LG 1100/-
KEYBOARD LOGITECH 350/-
MOUSE INTEX USB
TOTAL 18.3

What he actually looking for is the system should run for two years maximum, can play some games if not no problem, and AUTO CAD MUST RUN.

So do u think that this new config will be suffice to handle his demand?

Config given by sam.shab is much better and costs de same... then why go for above config!

ankushkool said:

i know. But since this is not my machine decision is upto him. And he is going to have a laptop after two years and is not much interested in desktop. Just it should be enough to run autocad for the time being. and i think this new config will be able to do that.

ANOTHER LOGIC FROM HIS END IS THAT IF HE TAKES MACHINE FROM THAT CAFE FELLOW HE WILL GIVE SERVICE LATER WITHOUT TAKING ANY CHARGE. SO I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO IMPOSE FORUM CONFIG UPON HIM. ANY WAY GUYS THAT IS A WONDERFUL CONFIG BY SAM SHAB AND I WILL PFRESERVE IT FOR ANY OTHER COLLEGUE WHO WANTS A SYSTEM WITHIN THAT BUDGET.

Go for DDR3 mobo and ram suggested by Sam.Completely avoid intex products.Zebronics is much better than them in substandard products

i have told before that this is not my config nor i am willing to give such a crappy thing to any one. but i cannot do anything here and i am not going to convince my collegue. Just tell me whther this crappy will be able to handle AUTOCAD OR NOT.

^^ what motherboard is that? surely not anything by ATI/AMD. if its based around Nvidia nForce 6series. your friend on safe ground, else..... maybe little bad luck.

finally he told me the motherboard name: M2N68 AM PLUS. I DO NOT WHTHER IT IS AVAILBLE IN KOLKATA.

its based on Geforce 7050. enough for CAD. bad for games.

MetalheadGautham said:

Checked, as expected, couldn't find any 4670 card @ 3k. The lowest is 3.9k. The price of 5450 is correct.
I knew that the retailer was trying to cheat me the moment he showed me the card (HD5450) at 4100. I asked him if he had any brochure or something mentioning the details of the card. He said all details are there on the box. I checked the box and said, these are details? He asks what details I want, I say shader speed, core speed, memory interface etc. He was stumped for a moment, then realising I was not the right customer to cheat, took the card back and showed me a book which mentioned the memory interface, 64bit, I rejected the card then and there.
