NP: Core i5 + P55 - no graphics card (most probably) = even playing a video of 3gp is IMPOSSIBLE.

^^ get Athlon X4 620 (maximum Rs.5k) mobo is fine. Asus M4A785TD-V EVO wil cost Rs.6600-6500.





Add 4Gb DDR3 1333Mhz from Trenscend. should cost below 5k. Add 1Tb WDC or minimum 500Gb.






PSU: ask if he hav Gigabyte 460W. else Corsair VX 400W should b enough. ask abt Seasonic 330W. Cabinet get Cooler Master, model no ur choice.




& abt monitor, get Benq/Samsung/Dell 22'' FULL HD.






& lastly graphics card if u play game, HD 5750 512Mb. if u only watch movie & music, onboard graphics is enough.


i apologize for freaking out. actually thought u configured whole rig urself.

Aoc is his manufacturer of Dell !!!!

is it so? AOC manufactures DELL monitors?



& abt UPS, get APC 650Va. worth the cost.

& 500Gb as cost diff is minimal. & abt PSU not matters much as he using the IGP. if he use some good GFX card, then problems may start showing up.

Suyash has a BE CPU. It is just begging to be OC'ed. I just hope he is not using a local PSU. Groan...

i doubt he know anything abt OC. cause he highlighted the LG 23" Full HD. Maybe for him display size matters more than proccy speed. & also such a fantastic rig but IGP (doubtful he knows abt graphics card 2').

@ asigh, 460W @ Rs.3250 from CM. how much is chance its the Xtreme Power:-x? 99% or 100%?

& suyash, the proccy u gt its a Black Edition processor. u can OverClock it to get more performance out of it, though its a bit risky. Your configuration is very nice but badly out of balance.

But remember this, and write it on a stone, and hang it by your computer. THAT PSU IS BAD. Be careful. If you ever have disposable income swap that PSU for a 450W Corsair.

Though honestly, why did you spend so much on the motherboard and B.E. CPU. You could have got the same and saved a lot of money. Those are OC components, not asking you to OC, but still.

''THAT PSU IS BAD'' !!! better ''ASIGH TOLD PSU WILL BLOW UP & DAMAGE THE PC''.

@suyash, ur dealer deliberately given u that PSU cause it not good seller. it tends to blew up & badly damage the internal components. my advice, try xchange the psu for the one asigh adviced. else only u'll suffer as warranty not covers damage due to surges (exactly what will happen if psu blows up).

its xtreme power 300%...
please whoever wants suggestion for pc please specify your NEED and BUDGET properly. There is nothing to be embarresed about it we are here to help, coz i know almost 75% of indians are either unaware or mislead while bying a pc. Moreover the people who suggest configs out here are professionals and far more experienced than almost all the dealers you can find in Delhi( no offence:)...).

You can search this link. The are based out of Mumbai, and are reputable. Shipping to Pune should not be an issue.

Corsair VX450 is retailing at Rs. 3,950.00 on their site. Formidable unit. 'Rock steady heart throbbing.' :)

If it has to do with Intel processor, I think you should take some time out and ask Intel in house experts. They will be chatting live on 26th of Feb. More information at: *www.intellivechat.com/facebook.html
