Recommend config in the following budgets...

use of the configs please?

please be more specific

casual use, with occasional gaming but that too, mmorpg's... rarely any high end games

20k -

AMD Athlon II x4 640 @ 5k
Gigabyte GA 880GMA UD2H @ 5.5k
G.Skill F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH (2Gx2) @ 3.7k
Seagate 1TB 7200.12 @ 2.8k

Total - 17k

15k -

AMD Athlon II x4 635 @ 4.5k
Gigabyte GA 880GMA UD2H @ 5.5k
G.Skill F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH (2Gx2) @ 3.7k
Seagate 500GB 7200.12 @ 1.7k

Total - 15.4k

psu - Corsair CX400W @ 2.7k for both of those configs. if you can get this one. best in its range and futureproof.

you may want to spend the rest on cabinets. then get NZXT GAMMA @ 2k.

i liked the config u suggested...
would just like to know whether the g-skill rams are commonly available?

Depends on the city. Gskill are fairly common.

Get Corsair if you can't find gskill.

hmm...
i will be purchasing from lamington road in mumbai....

^In lamington road you will find GSkill RAMs very easily

ohk

guys,
one last question...
its about the mb suggested

I just checked the mb on website and it seems to have versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2
Are those versions significant? Will the versions affect the price? And should I specifically purchase certain version?

Kindly answer this question so that I can go off to lamington road today

usually the latest and stable version will be replaced and available unless the vendor keeps old stock. It's hard to get the version you want but asking them about latest version is also not a bad idea... .. So give a try if you don't find latest version...

Price won't be effected by the versions ,it's just Gigabyte updates the known fixes.. performance will not be any difference...

thanks

guys,
i purchased the 20k suggested pc and now my cousin likes it too, so i m thinking of giving him the same config...
his usage and budget is same as me...

so should i give him the same config or are there some minor modifications?

Same usage and budget? Then why do you want to change the proved formula?

Click to expand...

actually a lot of changes in price -


good if you game. or any other usages? do tell.

^ are you telling that the price has increased?

lordirecto decreaesd. main example is ram.

^ Oh.....

Oh... thanks J.S.
btw the ram u suggested is 2gb... so should i purchase 2 sticks of the new model or the 1 u suggested before for my pc, so that the pc has 4 gb ram

rest all i m satisfied

2gb will be just fine. But 4gb is more than enough.

the one i mentioned is single stick 2gb. get it for time being as the config is already up your budget. if you want 4gb then - G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL for 2500

oh and btw he already has a nvidia geforce 9500gt 1gb graphic card...
so is it ok to go with this one in the new config, since he does not do any graphic intensive work at all...

and just a small concern....
*www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/athlon2_x4_640/2.htm
this site says that the processor supports max DDR3-1333MHz ram, and the 4gb ram u suggested is DDR3-1600 MHz...
so should i worry about compatibilty here or is it insignificant?

no need to worry. the ram will get downclocked to 1333 but is good when you oc because the ram is designed to run at 1600.

but 9500gt is no where near 5770. but if he doesnt game then no need of 5770.

oh...

thanks for all the help
