Review my final confic at very tight budget

F

Its X4 995 or 955

must be a typo!!There is no 995!!and going by the price it must be 955!!

J

Feluda,go for GA 880GM-USB3 instead of Asus one you have mentioned, don't ever compromise on motherboard :-D

I have suggested this motherboard because it is a AM3+ motherboard which will supports AMD bulldozer and you have better upgrade path.

Feluda, you config looks perfect in that budget of yours. But will you tell us the purpose of this rig? like, gaming or office work etc.
thanks.

Not much gaming! Not much multimedia. I just want to buy a smartest pc at this budget

I'm totally agree with you, but my budget is so tight. At this time I found a mobo which support AM3+ at very low price
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-78LMT-S2P (rev. 3.1)

Then you should look at this post & refer to ~~40K~~ 35K rig. Without GPU it will easily fit in your budget.

Can anyone Update the street price of all these component I mentioned?

My budget is 25k (max.) not 40k

Sorry, look at the 35K rig. As you don't need GPU and Speakers, it will be less than 25K if you exclude those two.

I selected much better processor that that config and simmilar motherboard

Your config looks good at the price tag excpet for one thing. Consider replacing Microtek 600VA with Intex one.

Feluda,change your motherboard to gigabyte 880GM UD2H it will cost you 3800 but gigabyte motherboard are good.

^whats the difference between those two?

J

I think Gigabyte's is better.The MSI one comes cheaper with 2 RAM slots.

1. 2 PCI slots
2. PATA IDE slot (in case you want to use older pata hdd or writer etc)
3. dual BIOS
4. dolby home theatre
5. eSATA
6. better power (4+1 phase power)
7. Ultra Durable 3 (extra copper for energy efficiency blah blah)

@Feluda: at 25k, yours is a perfectly balanced rig. may be you can think of adding 2gigs RAM. BTW, which OS are you gonna use?

Sadly it is still not available in Indian market.

I'll run Win7 ultimate

Then you should opt for another module of 2GB RAM for best performance.

@d6bmg I think you are right. Can you tell me the model name and price?

@jagdish
got it teacher
@feluda
the same ram you listed, just one more kit

Why wasting two of the ram slots for just 4 GB ram? Get the Corsair 4GB 1333 MHz module @ 1.2K only. You can overclock them very easily with the AMD mobo to run them @ 1600 MHz without any issues. Tested from my side. If you don't wanna take the risk then go for G-skill Ripjaw 4 GB 1600MHz module @ 1.4K

^^+1.but brother is it safe to run amd phenom with 1600MHz ram as i read in overclocker forum that phenom's memory controllers are made for 1333MHz and running above it may cause damage to the controller.so i reduced my vengeance freq from 1600 to 1333 and tightened the latency to 7-7-7-19.

T

No Need to reduce the frequency.

If CPU Supports 1333 MHz then it will use that much of the 1600 MHz. No damage what so ever to controller or anything.

I am using GSkill 1600 Mhz Modules with my Phenom 955 with no issues at all. Tighter timings are ok if you are going to OC the Proccy or else dont bother with it as you wont notice any difference in actual (your) use at all.

Thanx. I think my config goin to right direction.
So, if anyone ask
Q. Why this config?
A: I want the upgrade path be opened for the future?

sukesh1090, the default ram speed supported by Phenom II/Athlon II series is 1333 MHz. You have to overclok the Ram Multiplier to make it work in 1600 MHz speed and there is no chance of memory controller damage or anything.
In my previous config, I used to run my 2X2 GB Kingston 1333 MHz value Ram to 1600 MHz speed by adjusting the multiplier to X4 from the BIOS of my Gigabyte GA-MA-785GMT mobo. Now all the current 8XX/9XX series mobo can detect the XMP profiles of ram. So if your Ram is a 1600 MHz ram, while plugged it will run @ 1333 MHz speed but the XMP profile can be accessed in Motherboard BIOS setup. Just select the profile for the 1600 MHz and your done.

^^my ram supports xmp profile and i have 880g chipset mobo but doesn't show any option to enable xmp.i have increased the multiplier to 8.xx to get my speeds to 1600.i ahve the latest bios update but still why it is not showing the xmp profile?
