Gigabyte h110m s2 - 4700

Corsair vengeance 8gb lpx 2400 mhz - 3490

Antec Vp450p 450w power supply - 3700

Benq dl2020 19.5" - 5659

Online rates(mostly from Amazon)

Total price (excludong cost of shipping)- Rs. 38,177

I think including cost of shipping price would go over 40000.

This is way over my budget of 30000.

Amazon.in prices are always overpriced.
Check prices from mdcomputers.in
My prices are from CTC, Secunderabad local prices but they are similar to mdcomputers.
Check once.

Okay thanks for the info

Still, don't get anything below RX460 IMO.
R7 250 is EOL. Heck, even GTX 960 would be a better option around 10-12k.

S

I have bought from mdcomputers, primeabgb. these both are excellent in terms of service. I am from Punjab and their delivery charges were nominal. Even I would suggest not to get anything below RX460. Its the absolute minimum if you want to game for about an year at 720p

Thats a good option but almost double price of earlier one.

The price by mdcomputers is 12k, a bit too much.

On second thoughts, any laptop option at 30k range?

You want to play recent and future games at decent settings, frame rates and resolution or not?

Ronnie012 said:

None

Better do this, buy the everything except GPU. Save money for two months and then buy GPU whichever you like. Bear those two months of low gaming performance, thinking to game for at least an year on decent settings.

Yeah but gpu cost out of budget

Then you can either increase budget to buy a gpu or get a ps4.

Buddy, even laptops worth 50k can't run recent games at respectable frame rates. As for assembling a pc, watch Youtube videos. It isn't hard.

Assembling the pc is the best option for you. You can take the help of local computer shop guy, he will hardly charge 300rs for assembling the components. Anyways tomorrow gtx 1050 ti is to be launched in India at 12500rs, u can go for that.

[MENTION=141471]Ronnie012[/MENTION] , SaiyanGoku is right. even in 50k budget you will get laptop with 940M GPU which is low tier GPU, dont go for "2GB DDR3" and all. Those are just gimmicks , as 50K laptop supposed to perform better than it actually performs. Also, laptop's CPU and processors are inferior to their desktop counterparts. Assembling a PC is the best option if you have gaming in mind. Best bet is to save money for a GPU.

And assembling a PC isnt' tough at all. Just watch few Youtube videos and read a bit and you can assemble your own PC. If not, get the local vendor guy, as said by sudhir, its should cost you below 500/-

Okay thanks for your advice

Guys few more questions..Is an Intel G440 future proof? As in can it handle upcoming graphic cards and upgrades/processes?

Antec 450 p Smps would be enough or i need something of higher power?

Also gaming.cabinets are quite costly locally. Can i make do with a normal cabinet?

It's entry level, so IMO, it will barely last for an year for gaming alone.
Again, if you want to play games, you need to increase budget to 40k at least.

Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

I can skip the Graphic card purchase for later. What other parts to make it future proof?

A
Also hows Lenovo G50 80 at 38k ?

*www.flipkart.com/lenovo-g50-80-core-i5-5th-gen-8-gb-1-tb-hdd-free-dos-2-gb-graphics-notebook-80e503cmih/p/itmegwzhnb7nwkgz

Actually i need a pc urgently for work. Cant wait too long for ordering online. Locally arts r quite costly.

Get a generic cabinet, no need for a gaming cabinet.
And can refer this thread too , similar to the config mentioned here. And you will get more info on Pentium G440.

Apart from that, if you want urgently, and cant wait for all the parts to arrive, then buy a lap.
BTW the lap you mentioned is nearly 40k. And Do not regret about gaming performance later.

Buddy you need to compromise somewhere

Sorry if i sound confused but instead of Pentium g440 can i use a generic pentium dual core 3 ghz processor?Actually my shopkeeper is telling me to go for a pentium dual core instead of g4400 as dual core is better than g440 i dont know how.

Also what benefits does an intel core i3 4th gen have over a pentium g440?

Listen to the shopkeeper and you'll end up buying a 30k config from 2012!

My bad, i forgot to mention the thread.

Go with 6th gen i3 sacrificing the GPU for now.
You can add any GPU later when you have some money.

Here is the config:

Budget -29K

Intel Core i3 6100 -8500,
Gigabyte H110M-S2 -4500,
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2400Mhz -2500,
WD Caviar Blue 1TB -3500,
Antec VP450P -2500,
Antec GX200 -2500,
BenQ DL2020 19.5" LED -5000.
Total -29,000.

Dont listen to the shop keeper as they try to sell their left over old stock.

Go with the above suggested config by ordering from mdcomputers.in
Ok.

I won't waste 9k out of that 30-40k budget on getting 2nd hand PC.

Do not throw your 9000rs in dustbin. Get the configuration suggested by bssunilreddy.

So i guess i have two options now.

Either buy from mdcomputers and wait for two months(i will be away from home for 3 weeks shortly hence cant take delivery of products) for delicvery of product or buy locally immediately.

And if i buy locally , stuff like Intel g4400, core i3 6th gen not available.

But intel g3220 and core i3 4th gen r available.(at price of 4500 and 9300 respectively)

Cabinet coolermaster available(price 4000)

Ram Strontium 4 gb 1900 rs.

Monitor - 19" Lcd at 6300 rs.

Motherboard H110 not available. H81 is available at price 4800 rs.

Should i opt for them?
Also u guys know of any store in Guwahati where i can get stuff at cheap(decent) rate?

Add a GTX 1050Ti to it later (hopefully should be priced around 10k). Beats RX 460 easily in gaming benchmarks.

Things in bold, If you mean it will take 2 months to reach your place then I would say delivery time shouldn't be more than 30 days in extreme case. It has to be lesser. here is one guy from guwahati, I think he name is michaels------ , sorry I forgot his name, you can ask him, he might have a some info on the delivery time. Or, call mdcomputers people and ask them how much time maximum it will take for CoD(if available).

I'll be put of home after 5 days for 3 weeks means 1 month. After 1 month if i order, it might take 2 weeks or 3 weeks. Sometimes amazon takes 2 weeks and in extreme cases a month. I don't know about mdcomputers delivery time. Also what about goods damaged during transit? Can i return them?

Why you need the system tomorrow if you aren't even going to stay at home for that period. Buy it after coming backi would suggest.

Apart from that, your shopkeeper guy tells you whatever is available, it actually it sounds more like he wants to clear his stock, said by others too. Ask him if he can arrange the exact models. If not, then order online, mdcomputers is reliable as per everyone here. But only other members can tell about the damage while in transit. Also i would suggest you to talk to mdcomputers guys about these things. Record the call if you have doubts.

Better to buy the SMPS after the GPU than using those crap ones and ending up frying your components.

If i buy a normal cabinet for 1200 rs it will be ok right?

IMO, if the price difference isn't much, get a good cabinet instead of the local ones as the latter usually have bad airflow and no cable management holes.
Let others give advice though.

Buy Corsair SPEC-01 -3500.
This cabinet has 2 years warranty. Corsair service in India is superb.
Even you can ask for replacement from their warehouse in bangalore so that it reaches you faster in case of any RMA.

WD Caviar Blue 1TB has 2 years warranty.
All Blue HDDs are same.

Since you are going with skylake you need to go with DDR4 memory and DDR3 is not compatible with above mobo.

Cooler Master cabinets in 3k range are outdated models.

Better to go with Corsair, Antec, Deepcool in 3.5k range.

Corsair & Antec both have 2 years warranty and Deepcool has 1 year warranty.

Ok. Actually i have lack of funds this month. 3700+300 delivery charge for a cabinet is out of budget. Am planning to buy graphics card maybe 6 months or a year after. Surely i can do with a normal cabinet of 1000 rs for 6 months if i don't have graphics card installed?

These are the most stable UPS. You need to change the battery once it gets discharged. So no worries.

If you call APC Customer Care or CyberPower Customer Care, they will come and replace a new battery. So going with reputed companies with good RMA service is always better.

So i Think i can make do with a 600 va APC?i found u mentioning in one of your earlier posts that you had paired your Antec 450w psu with a 600 va Apc and it was doing fine.

Also afaik the new geforce 1050ti requires less power (75w max)and draws power from the motherboard and not from the psu. Isn't it true? So i guess my pc should draw a max of 300 watts irrespective of psu limit?

Also is the 450 w psu really required for my pc?

Some overclocked versions require 6 pin connector where as some draw from the motherboard itself.

So it depends on your gpu vendor.

Although 450w is sufficient for a PSU, as for as the UPS is concerned you need to see the maximum it requires during intensive tasks.

During load it consumes more power so you require 1kv UPS to be safe.

I think i will settle for the non-overclocked version supplying vendor.

My budget has gone way overboard and there's no way i can afford a 4-5000 ups as of now. I think there should be a way to make 600 va ups work with my configuration?

Also i am contemplating returning my 450 w psu with a zebronics 450 psu priced at 500rs. Is it a good idea?

I will repurchase the 450 w antec in the future.

Go with CyberPower which is cheaper but APC is best among UPS.

Dont ever go with local brands like Zebronics PSU or Intex PSU.

Anytime it might damage your critical components in the system.

You might regret later. Dont do this. Ok.

Since your max power requirement does not cross 500VA, you can go with APC 600VA UPS & Antec VP450P PSU.

No
That is a mini ITX case which will JUST TAKE A MINI ITX board
No micro ATX or atx
Seriously don't buy something without doing full research
Also ATX PSU means that it can have a normal psu instead if requiring a sfx one

Ronnie, CyberPower 600VA UPS is more than enough if you go with any 75w GPUs like Zotac GTX1050Ti 4GB.

Link for the UPS :Cyber Power Ups 600Va - Buy Cyber Power Ups 600Va Online at Low Price in India - Snapdeal

Local price listed for the above UPS is 2k

Link for the GPU : Buy Online | ZOTAC GTX 1050 Ti Mini 4GB Graphic Card ZT-P10510A-10L | Price in Indi

Local price listed for the above GPU is 12.3k

Zotac GTX1050 Ti 4GB Mini is sufficient.
Mini is a single fan version and so cannot be overclocked but OC version is dual fan version and can be slightly overclocked as it does not have any extra 6pin pcie power connector.
The OC / Dual fan version of Zotac GTX1050 Ti is priced around 13.7k in primeabgb.com

MSI or Asus has overclocked or gaming versions but priced well over 15k and so has 6 pin pcie power connectors.

Also, What are the components that you have purchased or ordered until now with prices, Please specify...

Thanks.Although it's an excellent idea i have doubts regarding its feasibility. I don't know whether i can carry that cabinet for long journeys(4-5 hours typical journey on weekends and even if i do i think inside contents are in risk of being harmed when carried alonwith luggages in buses and trains). Also, i tried searching dor the product but unfortunately it's out of stock and the imported ones cost approx Rs. 10-12000.
Moreover after sitting in chair for 10-12 hrs everydayeveryday at office i think it becomes difficult to again sit in front of desktop at night.
So i think for portability a cheap netbook(8-10k budget) would suit my needs. The desktop i can do heavy tasks and gaming and netbook for reading pdf materials and watching movies.

Ps. By the way my assembled desktop is running superb! I specially liked the sound quality. Presently i tried running few 2010-11 games at ultra settings on Integrated Intel hd 530 graphics processor and it's running fluid. Would have liked to try on a few recent games but don't want to push the Intel hd 530 to it's limits. I think the Intel 530 can handle 2012 games at best. Os is windows 10 and takes seconds to start up.

Congratulations for the new build.
And I would suggest you to heavy load work on system be it gaming or video encoding, which will tset your system's limit. You can check the temps and you will know if any component is faulty or isn't working as supposed to. If something is faulty then you can easily exchange that component as eveything is new

Guys it's qn earthing issue after all. Apparently the whole house excluding my socket is connected to earthing. The earthing wire broke off somewhere so reearthing needs to be done.

Guys I don't want to bring this up again and you have all helped me a lot. But I am facing display issues since last week. Upon starting the display becomes a bright red color. After sometime some white lines appear before the icons.

Then display becomes okay as I adjust the resolution but even then at 1366*768 resn the icons and words seem broken(as in visible but difficult to read)
Games and movies run ok at low resolution and not satisfactory.

Also the display seems fine while booting up but only when i log into the system when i experience a problem.

Is it a driver issue or any other issue?

Try disconnection and reconnecting the hdmi cable or use another hdmi cable.

Also, update the vga drivers to eliminate any possible driver issues.

Buddy both the Intel or Gigabyte site has same display drivers. They are not different.

Re-install the drivers by completely uninstalling the installed one.
Install the VGA driver from Gigabyte site and check once.

Also check with any other PSU.

Check in the properties of the device whether the driver installed properly or not.
Whether there is any conflict with the default Windows drivers or not.

Your monitor has VGA & DVI ports where as your motherboard has only a VGA port.
So you can connect by using any VGA to VGA cable only.

Since your monitor resolution is not Full HD, there is no need to go with VGA to DVI adapter for now.

If in future, you add a GPU then you can use a DVI to DVI cable.

Either your motherboard needs to be sent for RMA or your PSU. Just check once by taking it to service centers of both.
The technicians at the Gigabyte Mobo service center will check and tell.

Clicking noises generally mean hard drive failure. Try to copy all data which you require from off the drive, preferably by connecting it in another system before doing anything else.

Ronnie, Either you are super unlucky regarding your new PC Components or you are not able to properly install drivers for your Motherboard & your New HDD was from old stock or even an used one & your PSU is failing.

It was booting up fine since last two days(alsi screen display issue seemed to be sorting out ok before this happened) so I doubt it's a motherboard or psu issue.

Full configuration is Motherboard Gigabyte H110m s2, Psu Antec Vp450p, Processor Intel core i3 6100, Ram Corsair Vengeance 8gb , Hdd Wd1tb Caviar blue, Monitor Benq dl2020

P.s. This is few of the information getting displayed on the gigabyte screen while booting up - BIOS VERSION F2, BCLK 100.00MHZ, Cpu frequency 3701.13 mhz, Memory freq 2133.33 mhz, Total memory size 8192 mb, Cpu temp 35.0'c , Vcore 1.092v

Where are you located?
Take them to the shop where you have purchased locally and ask them to sort those problems.

Arey Ronnie,
Did I not tell you to buy from mdcomputers.in
You now have to get them checked by an PC assembler or Technician in your home town for confirmation on which component is at fault.
Dial JustDial @ 8888888888 and tell them your town name. They will give any PC repair shops addresses & phone numbers, call them and tell them your problem.

They might anything between 300 to 500.
After getting confirmation, get the PC part RMAed by sending it to the nearest service center.

I think Guwahati might have every PC parts service centers.

No other alternative...

I didn't buy from mdcomputers since tbey told me they won't take any responsibility in case i buy their product and find it faulty.

I called up justdial. Only seagate service centers are located in cities nearby(no wd) . Should i send it to seagate service centers?

Just ask Just Dial for any good door step services for PC repair and get confirmation as to which component is faulty and then you need to send only to WD, Gigabyte & Antec Service Centers in case of RMA.

No other service centers will accept other parts than what they deal with. Ok.

I called up just dial and what they did was give me an invalid shop name n no.

Anyway I went to Hp authorized service center and they have agreed to check it.

On first glance they told me it could be a corrupt Os issue or a virus issue. Otherwise it could be a loose connection cable.

Anyway i will take my machine to the hp service center and see what happens.

Motherboard and Hard disk issue. SMPS seems to be fine. They asked me to return it since it's under warranty.

Any idea how to return online? (Coz i haven't done it earlier)

Go to your orders list and select return/replace option. Also contact the CC on chat, they'll guide you properly.

I know that. But in this case 10 days amazon replacement period has expired so I can't return it directly.
HP service center guys told me that I now have to claim warranty from Amazon(since it is the seller) and ask for replacement.

How do I go about it?

Then your only option is either calling the CC of Amazon.in & get resolved
OR
Simply send the Gigabyte Motherboard & WD HDD to their respective Collection Points situated in Guwahati or in the case of Gigabyte either CP in Guwahati or SC in Kolkate & in the case of WD either CP in Guwahati or SC in Bangalore. So decide for yourself.

Gigabyte has Service centers in all Metros & Collection centers in almost all Indian cities.
You need to either go to the Service center in Kolkata or drop it in the nearest Collection Point situated in Guwahati.

Link: GIGABYTE - Support - Service Center

WD needs its HDDs to be registered online by their Serial number for RMA. Upon registration, you will be given an RMA number after which you need to ship it either to their Service Center located in Bangalore or Collection point in Guwahati. I think shipping it to Bangalore using the RMA ID is best.

Link: RMA Shipping Address | WD Support

PS: When my previous whole system got fried due to a Lightning Strike except SSD & GPU. I sent each component to their respective service centers in all Metros in India and it took 1 month to get all of them back.

Since there was no physical damage like burnt marks luckily and all are in Warranty. I got them replaced by new sealed ones.

Almost all PC Components Head Service Centers or Head Warehouses are only located in Bangalore.

Do i need to contact them over phone or intimate over email before sending it through courier? I mean how can i know that they will receive and acknowledge warranty for my products? I mean there has to be a procedure for claiming warranty right?

I tried calling up Gigabyte toll free but it's showing busy since yesterday.

Call the Gigabyte Kolkata Service Center and ask your query after which ship it to them.

Call the WD Service Center and before doing so, Check your warranty in the website given after which open an RMA ticket and ship it to them.

In both above cases, they will ask for your mail ID and reply before or after they recieve or ship the new sealed pieces later.

Okay thanks

I spoke to both Western Digital and Gigabyte for RMA. They said they'll accept tbe return if it's packed in an ESD bag.

Now since ESD bags are not available in markwt, so any other alternative packaging options you guys can suggest?
I mean if i have to send it by courier, then careful packaging is required. So far I only got two cardboad boxes. I might have some thermocol but not enough.

P.s. I need to ship it by tomorrow.

And has anyone replace ld motherboard with gigabyte?

Western Digital has been ever so willing to replace the drive.

But But Gigabyte is unwilling nd told me theyll only repair the product and wont repace.

ESD bags are just electro static bags that come with the motherboard & GPU & HDD as well.

Then you need to pack them in small cardboard boxes and ship them.

Gigabyte will 1st try to repair it but if the mobo cannot be repaired then they will send a new sealed piece. So just hope that they do.

Okay thanks. So no ESD packing shouldnt be an issue right?

Anyway thanks.

WD has scheduled pickup for tomorrow. Courier charges(2500 rs) will be born by Wd right? ( Coz they only arranged for the pickup)

I have received replacement for Wd hard drive.

But Gigabyte (Kolkata) is unwilling to replace product. So i sent for repair.
Now they are telling me that Motherboard doesn't have any defect and trying to send the same board to me without repair.(I checked the board locally at two service centers both found it defective)

Is there any legal recourse for me? I mean this is undue harrassment to me as a consumer from Gigabyte.

For a 4k Mobo, you cannot spend 5k for submitting a petition in a consumer court? Right!

I meant the 5k is lawyers charges buddy.

Either sell the defective Mobo and get a new Asus H110 Mobo or go to the consumer court.

If you go to consumer court, it might take an year at least to resolve it + 5k as charges to any lawyer.

I will wait and see how the returned mb works. If it works fine no problem. Otherwise will have to resort to other means

Normally they will repair the Mobo or will replace with a new sealed one.

It depends on the distributors and also from region to region.
