nice. really nice 1.

Processor : AMD Phenom II x6 1090T or AMD Phenom II x6 1055T ---> stick to 1st option.

Motherboard : ASUS M4A89TD Pro or MSI 890FXA GD70 ---> too much. get something like 890GX or 870X(to be launched soon). or even 7series wil be good.

Ram : Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz 2x3GB --->2X2Gb enough

Graphic Card : ATI RADEON HD 5750 or Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 --->HD5770

Hard Disk : Seagate 1TB 7200

Power Supply : Corsair TX 850 ---> Corsair TX550W is all u need.

Cabinet : CoolerMaster 690 -->NZXT M59 if u want little style.

thanks for reply sam
can you please tell me the prices of above configuration

my pleasure buddy. ok heres goes the prices: (approximate)

Processor : AMD Phenom II x6 1090T:16k AMD Phenom II x6 1055T:11k

Motherboard : say MSI 785GM E53: 5.5k

Ram : Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz 2x2GB: ~7k
Transcend 2X2Gb value ram @ 1333Mhz: ~5.6k

Graphic Card : Sapphire Radeon HD5770: 9k+

Hard Disk : Seagate 1TB 7200: ~4k

Power Supply : Corsair TX550W: 4.8k

Cabinet : NZXT M59: 3.8k

total: 39.7k = ~40k. so still 20k left :smile:

Sam.Shab buddy you got it wrong. The 1090t is 16k while 1055t is 11k.

@ devcga

Buddy go for radeon 5850 instead of 5770 and with remaining cash, invest in a good 22 or 24 inch lcd monitor.

I too think that would be a problem, coz I want mah pc to take out good renders(3d), so I think motherboard should be equivalent to processor

it would work - however better go with 890 chipset.........

do you game?

if not go for pro card.........

dominator ram would cost more than that, better go with xms.

Yea I game too...but its not necessary
and wot pro card should I go for and what is the difference between dominator and xms and please tell the pricing too

Corsair CMD4GX3M2B1600C8 4GB Kit-Rs :10763/-

Corsair CMG4GX3M2B1600C7 4GB Kit-Rs :15888/-

these are dominator kits of 4gb and are high performance at low latency rams.

xms are like value rams priced considerably-

Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9-Rs :7688/- -4gb kit

Corsir TR3X6G1600C9 6GBKit -Rs :10763/-

these prices are without tax add 4%,

and for pro card what is your max budget? and you wont be able to play games on it, and they would very costly, so as per your budget, selection could be made.

I have few suggestions to make:

1st of all, the kind of applications mentioned by devcga, does not need very low latency or high performance ram. They are mainly good for gaming. Here the amount of ram present will matter more in performance.
So my suggestion is opt for 2X3 GB value ram. Right now Kingston 2 GB 1333 MHz models are available at 2.65k (I got one last week).
So 6 GB will be 7.95k.

2ndly: My choice of Graphics card is little different. It is Zotac GTX470 1280MB GDDR5 @ 22k
Reason is in 3D applications GPU computing is getting mainstream now, Now ATI Stream and Nvidia CUDA both are on the field and both will offer high performance. But CUDA is much more mature than ATI Stream and the support for CUDA by different software is greater than ATI stream stream. Also Nvidia Fermi is better than ATI 5 series in card in Direct-computing and other CPU related tasks as reviewed in Guru3d.

3rdly For Power Supply go for Cooler Master GX-650W @ 5.5k

And Finally: Go for AMD 890 based chipset mobo. The price difference between 785 or 790 Chipset based mobo and 890 based mobo is very less and Phenom II X6 is designed for thus particular chip-set. So a performance boost will be there.
Biostar TA890GXE @ 6.6k will be good choice.

You know about the temperature issues with the Fermi. Unless not in A/C environment, those are ill-suited for India.

For 3D animation you can check out the ATI Firepro 3D workstation series or nvidia quadro FX /NVS series

ATI Firepro V3750 ~ 8K
ATI Firepro V3700 ~ 6K
