Is my config. Within Rs 30000) Good enough?

I live in jamshedpur and I’m thinking to buy the following config. by the end of june or before 8th june (coz its my birthday hee hee) form kolkata because none of the products which I wanted to buy is available here in (jamshedpur)

I want to know the exact price of the following components.
CPU
AMD Athlon II X4 630

MOBO
Biostar TA785G3 HD

ram:

Please suggest which RAM to buy? (max budget for RAM is Rs 2800-3500)

Transcend 2GB DDR3 1333MHz C9
OR

CORSAIR 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz
OR

GSKILL 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz
OR

KINGSTON 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz

HDD
(MENTION THE PRICE)

WD CAVIAR BLUE 1TB

OR SUGGEST ANY OTHER HDD
I DON’T WANNA BUY A SEGATE HDD.

GFX CARD
(PLEASE MENTION THE CURRENT PRICE OF THE GFX CARD)
SAPPHIRE HD 5670 512MB GDDR5

PSU
Please suggest which power supply to buy? (max budget for PSU is Rs 2500-3000)

Corsair cx 400w
Or

Vip gold 500w
Or

Gigabyte APFC 460W.
Or

or FSP Saga II 500W

CABBY
NZXT GAMMA
OR
ZEBRONICS BIJLI
OR
SUGGEST A GOOD CABBY WITHIN RS-2000

I ALREADY BOUGHT A FULL HD 23INCH LCD MONITOR (SAMSUNG P2350) ON 11TH MAY 2010 FROM RANCHI AS THE MONITOR WAS NOT AVAILABLE HERE IN JAMSHEDPUR.

For a cabby go for a Zebronics Reaper or Bijli.
The HD5670 is a good choice ,stick to it.
Go for the FSP Saga II 500W. VFM

.
I think a WD Caviar 640GB would be enough otherwise a 1TB drive would cost around 3.9-4.5k
For the RAM, go for Transcend or Kingston. They are VFM. Corsair and GSkill are performance RAM and would cost much more. So unless you have a high budget (which you don't), don't buy them.
And rather than the ATHLON II X4, go for a Phenom II X3

@Psychosocial, how much does a Reaper cost? without PSU? i not sure of the price actually.

also Phenom II X3 production has been ceased. so availability has taken a hit.

Around 1.7-2.0k I think.

And yeah man I visited AMD's site today and they haven't listed the Phenom II X3. WTF ? Why has the production been ceased ?

Psychosocial said:

pricewise its excellent VFM. however in the Zebronics site there some pics of Reaper without transparent side panel. do some comes with steel side? also are the fans noisy?

Psychosocial said:

by march-april the X3 production has been stopped. maybe any processor with 1 core bad is sold as X2 by deliberately disabling the third core.

reason are many but i feel, cause with time the process of making these processor improved, so they have very less defective processor with 1 core bad. as a result not enough processors to sell as Phenom II X3. so, simply stop producing them (die harvesting practices) or if some processor's L3 cache is bad sell them as Athlon II X3. or those few with 1 core bad, go out as X2. increase unlock chances (atleast 1 core unlock is guarantee if they were working X3s).

buy any 2Gb which you like. if you buy online, MediaHome giving 2Gb Value stick from Corsair @ 2850.

go for FSP Saga II 400W. ir can handle a setup having upto HD5770. with 500W, HD5850 possible too.

simply force the card into position (with fan facing away from processor socket) & the lock (or lever) will snap in place. done.

I dunno much about the Reaper man apart from that they are one of the best <2k cabbys. And looks cool too. The fans wont be that great I think. How much can you get in 2k anyways ?

And thanks for the info. I think it makes sense.

at or below 2k, Reaper is an excellent cabby. well got the info from Cilus.

actually the info is part assumption & part rumor. not sure if its the way AMD is heading.

Since you are buying form Kolkata, here are a few suggestions:

Kingston would be a good choice for RAM in a budget

Zebronics Cabinets are not so easy to find, but not so difficult either. Still, keep an alternative in mind, coolermaster is easily available, iBall is just everywhere

WD green or black might not be so easily available, however, if you do find them, go for green, it will run cooler I suppose. Seagate isn't bad. WD Blue 1 TB should cost around 3.2k excluding tax

Sapphire cards may be a bit difficult to find, in that case you must think about an alternative from XFX or Palit, don't buy point of view cards.

FSP saga might not be easily available, so you might have to consider Corsair which will increase your budget by around 500

Yes, I know what you're thinking, Kolkata is not a very good place to buy PCs. When you come, keep atleast 2 days in hand. Spend the first day researching and buy on the second day. Head straight to chandni chowk Metro station (in case you are not already familiar with the city). Go to shops like Vedant (G. C. Avenue), Saaboo (Bengal Chemical building) etc. Just look up justdial.com for addresses.

And, in any case, don't let the retailers suggestions change your decisions (that won't happen unless you are a noob). Ask for seal pack boxes of every component.

And do post after you have bought the components, prices as well as the name of the shop.

are you sure 1Tb cost only 3.2k + tax?

& for shops why not Arihant & technocrat? sorry i not from Kilkata but heard a bit about them.

thankz 4 suggesting..... about few shops of kolkata.... i dont lik segate coz few of my frnds bought it n within 6months-1year their HDD crashed.u live in kol or wat...one of my frnd lives there n one of my relative also lives there. but my relative house is little bit far away from (esplanade) they live in badamtalla. so i think it'll take around 1days to check few shops n the 2nd day to buy the actual rig. if possible tell me the best PC shop of KOL who sell original products @ affordable price.

its so simple or the gfx has any extra power supple cable to connect to the board or not?

I suggested the shops from personal experience, I've neer checked the prices at Arihant & it is a bit difficult to find too, that's why didn't suggest that. I've heard a lot about technocrat, so it might be a good option, i've never visited this shop either. I know the locations of all these shops, ask me if you want any help

---------- Post added at 05:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------

@evewin89, Shops at Chandni open at around 11 AM. Don't ever rely on a single shop. Visit at least 3-4 shops & check prices at all these places. You can visit the shops mentioned above, generally they are considered the best & cheapest. As far as original is considered, you can be cheated by any shop if you are not careful enough. ask for seal pack boxes & stay close during assembling. Also ask them to mention the serial number on the invoice. If there is any reason for a doubt, take the boxes and match the serial numbers of the products. And when you visit the shop, give them an impression that you know what you have to buy & have good knowledge about computers, that way there will less chances of your being cheated.

FSP-SAGAII-400
FSP-SAGAII-500

my budget is max Rs-2800 for the psu,

corsair_cx400 is driving me crazy...so guys wat u suggest.

yah sure buddy. will try helping you around there.

HD5670 don't have any power cables, unless you go fot the just released HD5670 640SP. its costlier.

FSP Saga II 400W almost equal to Corsair CX400W. so get one based on price/warranty. FSP Saga II 500W will give you additional wattage. if you sure you'll need it, get it.

processor heatsink comes with preapplied thermal gel.

which will be the best card for my config

the price is quoted here is from digit.
do the market price of these cards differ more than Rs-300 to Rs-500

Sapphire HD5670 1GB GDDR5 @ 6.5k
Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5 Artic Cooling @ 5.3k
Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5 @ 5.1k

Corsair Twin3X2048-1333C9 XMS3 DDR3 (its price is around Rs-3150)
the latency is 9-9-9-24

or kingston ddr3 1333Mhz

see the thing is that 5670 has not that much amount of power which is required to use all that memory bandwidth
u'll be able to utilize it upto 60% max i.e 600mb appx

so its better to go for 512mb version

and if u wanna go for 1gb card
then make sure ur budget and PSU allow it and go for gts 250 or hd 4850

suppose if i buy PSU of 500w and gfx HD5670 1GB GDDR5 then it'll be good or should i go for PSU 400w and Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5 Artic Cooling @ 5.3k

which will be the best choice for me.?

Have you come to Kolkata? Did you try starcomp, the big shop with 2 separate sections for logitech & Microsoft? When you exit from Vedant, turn left & take the main road & turn right. Keep walking for around 3-4 mins, you will get the shop.

green yes, price is about Rs.100 less than Blue. so 2.2k for Blue a good price.

FPS is mostly unheard by most. its an OEM brand. makes PSU for other companies, like Gigabyte & many US based ones. but their quality is good (not best). but at same rate as desi priced PSU, its total stupidity to ask for a more cheaper PSU from a good brand.

so i wanna ask if i buy cosair PSU cx400w and Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5 Artic Cooling (its going to be the best config for me) or should i buy FPS PSU of 500w and Sapphire HD5670 1GB GDDR5?

to power a HD5670, a desi PSU enough. but those PSU are not recommended cause in long run, they will go bad (chances are). so a CX400W or FSP Saga II 400W. both same. just Corsair price high cause its efficiency little higher + 5yrs warranty.

also 1Gb HD5670 will eat same power as 512Mb. 5W not make or break a PSU.

or if i buy cosair 450w psu and Sapphire HD5670 1GB GDDR5 will it be the best choice? its possible for cosair 400w to run Sapphire HD5670 1GB GDDR5 with its full 1GB potential?

so cosair 400w and Sapphire HD5670 1GB GDDR5 is going to be better than

cosair 400w Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5.?

Corsair VX450W can run upto HD5850. so CX400W can run even a HD5770, provided system load is low. as you'll be getting a HD5670, get a 400W unit. namely FSP Saga II 400W or Gigabyte 460W (as both same unit) or if you want 5yrs warranty, CX400W makes good sense.

what eating you? you asking almost the same question in different tone. get something like this:

PSU: FSP Saga II 400W or Gigabyte 460W (cheap & enough). Corsair CX400W (extra warranty) or FSP Saga II 500W (in future graphics card upgrade).

Card: Sapphire HD5670 512MB. if unavailable, get any HD5670 512Mb. last option is getting a 1Gb version. however it'll be like wasting money only.

plz recommended a good cabby for me.... max budget Rs 2000 (i like simple cabby) do not recommend flashy stuffs.

---------- Post added at 03:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 AM ----------

sry for mistyping recommend as "recommended" m still not getting the edit button.

How about PSUs from Tagan & antec? Tagan Stone Rock TG500-U37 500 Watt is available for around 3000 on lynx-india.com & antec 430W is available for around 2600. Should be a bit cheaper in stores. I've heard tagan & Antec PSUs are good for high end systems.

And why is WD green (32 MB cache) selling cheaper than WD blue (16 MB cache)? Is anything wrong with the green model? Because green also consumes less power & as a result generates less heat. So, if it cheaper than blue, then why would anyone go for the blue?

how about
Cooler master Elite 310? its looks nice from outside.
out of the 3
ANTIBIOTIC
REAPER
BIJLI
i liked ANTIBIOTIC
can any one tell me the price of zebronics DESIRE (it looks good from outside) actually i like simple cabs? ANTIBIOTIC
REAPER looks little bit flashy from outside as compared to Cooler master Elite 310 or zebronics DESIRE.

if u want flashy cabby then buy a side panel CM cabby & attach 3-4 LED fans in it...to show off....

even i had shortlisted the CM Elite 310...but when i saw NZXT Gamma cooling then i totally loved that cabby....

i suggest u go for Full ATX cabby which has an option to mount 3-4 extra fans.....

no i dont like flashy stuffs. the features of REAPER and ANTIBIOTIC are good but Cooler master Elite 310 looks better according to me.the i dont like the front pannel of reaper (its buttons looks cheap) and i dont need any fan control buttons on the front of the cabby.

hey evewin89
please learn how to quote/reply the posts made by others
its kinda irritating

its not irritating, the posts are un-readable. I didn't read any of his posts from where he started quoting

Yes, even I was feeling irritating, I have to searh what's new and what's quoted. There's a quote button below the post you want to quote, if it isn't appearing, change your browser, clear the browser cache or do something. At least make the quoted text gray in colour

Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz @ 4.9k
Corsair 2GB DDR3 2.7k
Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.3k
Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB @ 3.55k
Corsair CX400W @ 2.9k
Zebronics Bijli @ 1.2K (without PSU)

i have never attached a MOBO to The cabinet myself.. i know how to connect all the other stuffs to the MOBO. so 1st of all i wanna ask do i have to place a thin (plastic/synthetic sheet which is given in the MOBO box) in between the MOBO and the cabinet.? or i just have to screw the MOBO to the cabinet without placing anything in between them?

i'm asking this coz one's i saw a tech progam in which the hardware engineer placed (plastic/synthetic sheet which is given in the MOBO box) in between the MOBO and the cabinet which assembling a new P.C?

sry 4 mistyping "while" as "which"

I LIVE IN JAMSHEDPUR AND 4days back (on 7th june 2010) i purchased the following stuffs from (vedant KOLKATA) ....(all in boxed PACK)

Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz @ 4.9k
Corsair 2GB DDR3 2.7k
Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.3k
Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB @ 3.55k
Corsair CX400W @ 2.9k
Zebronics Bijli @ 1.2K (without PSU)

i was facing problems right from the 1st day i switched on my P.C.(BSOD) earlier i thought it was a driver or any other software problem so i installed the os and the other drivers again and again hoping that it'll work but now after running the diagnostic test of windows 7. i'm quite sure its a memory problem. (I THINK MY Corsair 2GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM IS FAULTY) THE diagnostic test of windows 7 DETECTS THE HARDWARE ERROR AFTER THE OVERALL TEST STATUS OF 55% WHILE RUNNING THE MEMORY TEST 2OF2.

SO KINDLY RECOMMEND WHAT TO DO TO REPLACE THE RAM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.?
IF AND DIGIT REPRESENTATIVE OR MOD SEE THIS THREAD PLEASE HELP ME TO REPLACE THE RAM.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS A Corsair SERVICE CENTER OR DISTRIBUTER IN MY TOWN BUT I'LL CHECK AND LET U KNOW.

I'M GOING TO CALL (vedant KOLKATA) TODAY AND INFORM THEM THE PROBLEM.
I'LL BE VERY HAPPY IF ANY DIGIT REPRESENTATIVE TALKS TO (vedant KOLKATA) THOUGH I'LL CALL THEM BUT STILL IF U GUYS CALL THEN IT'LL DEFINATELY MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
