That one is final?
No replacements or some changes?

You may buy a Nvidia Quaddro card later(in the 2nd or 3rd year) when more intensive CAD work shows up.

Above that you can get GTX 750.

I couldn't find the R7 250x that too for 7000
Ita just on snapdeal for 8.5k
Fk has the R7 250 for 6.4k
Much difference between these two?

And could you tell me which one of the fx6300?
Snapdeal has a 3.5 and a 4.4ghz version
Both priced identically

cheapest i could find is SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD R7 250X 1GB DDR5 (R7 250X 1GB DDR5 - 11229-00-41G - 840777065860 - 10,985.00). you may get a better deal locally. r7 250 is not a replacement for 250x.

And could you tell me which one of the fx6300?
Snapdeal has a 3.5 and a 4.4ghz version
Both priced identically

both are same. wrong spec given on website.

Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R7 250X 1GB Graphic Card - Buy Graphic Cards Online @ Best Prices on Snapdeal.com

Its the same one right?

it should be, atleast from pic. snapdeal hasn;t give any spec either.

But both the R7 250x and the R7 250 are given differently. Let's hope they are what they look in the picture

AMD FX4300 -5900,
Gigabyte 970A-DS3P -5800,
Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600Mhz -2600,
WD Caviar Blue 500GB -3000,
Antec VP450P -2600,
Dell S2240L LED IPS 22" -8200,
Sapphire R7 250X 1GB -7900,
Deepcool TESSERACT -2700,
Asus 24B5ST DVD-RW -1100,
Logitech MK200 -800.
TOTAL -40,500.

they both are different cards. 250x is more powerful.

Won't the fx6300 be a better option than buying the cabinet
I can more easily buy that later
What say?

What's the difference between gigabyte GA 970a ds3 and the gigabyte GA 970a ds3p??

bee said:

DS3P has USB3.0 header for front panel connections where as DS3 has USB2.0 header only.

Oh thanks
Any alternative to the ds3p in case it's not available?
In the same price range

It will be available at Flipkart. No worries on that.

I'm getting the Asus M5A97 R2.0 + fx6300 for 13200
Good deal?

not bad. but make sure it is not the LE(light edition) from asus.

And I suppose the difference would be of the USB 3?

bee said:

LE version is cheaper and less than 5.5k i suppose. and The LE lacks heatsink on its VRM and has a 4pin CPU connector (instead of the 8pin).

bee said:

Not just that but of VR quality and phases too.

V

another difference between ds3 and ds3p is that the former officially doesn't support '125W fx83/81xx' processor

I'll be careful
Thanks guys
Your just so great

I've got two options now

1) buy the pc this weekend
2) or wait for a month and buy between 10-20 july

What do you say guys?
Is the wait worth?

The suggested config is pretty good. I'd go for it right now.

get it now. why wait?

The thing is I'm presently doing my training at ropar and staying in a pg there
If I buy the pc now then it'll sit at home idle
So that's why I was thinking of waiting till the training ends

Yeah, you should get the desktop when you reach home. Start a new thread again as it will be few months from now.

Hello!

*help

I was suggested Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P earlier
Some cheaper alternate available?

- - - Updated - - -

Koi to madad krdo yaar!

go for the 40k rig but instead of 7770 switch to 750 Ti. 265 is fast but that'll stretch the PSU. instead 650 Ti should fit in your budget plus PSU will have some breathing space.

But the performance difference is huge!
And yet the price identical

How exactly will it hinder the psu?
