hi guys,
finally! i landed here

i know this is a portal for the pros and the hot shots...

i thought of buying a gaming pc,my budget is only RS 40,000.please do suggest me a decent configuration.

i have zeroed in some of the components...suggest me in building the rest.


lcd monitor dell 22" or any other's with good contrast ratio.

processor:AMD athlon x2 3000+

motherboard: no idea about it :confused:

graphics card: 512Mb card with SLI (can spend upto Rs 7500) :confused:

harddisk:seagate 650gb

cabinet:Cooler Master Elite 330 cabinet

SMPS: no idea :confused:

RAM:2x2Gb Kingston DDR2 800 RAM

writer: ASUS dvd writer

ups: no idea

all your suggestions on the configuration are welcome!.....


waiting for your reply.......

lcd monitor dell 22" or any other's with good contrast ratio.

processor:AMD athlon x2 3000+----- R u serious ??? there is no 3000+ in Athlon X2 series ... the minimum u can get is 4600+ ..but its not that good for gaming ....

motherboard: no idea about it ---- Depends on the Proccy u chose (intel or AMD )

graphics card: 512Mb card with SLI (can spend upto Rs 7500)------ SLI ?? SLI means using two Nvidia Graphic cards together ....its not possible in ur budget coz .... 1. U cant get two good cards in 7500 and 2. SLI enabled motherboard are costly.

harddisk:seagate 650gb

cabinet:Cooler Master Elite 330 cabinet

SMPS: no idea ---- Depends on ur budget ...but the minimum u can get is Glacial Star GS-500A for about 1200 Rs.

RAM:2x2Gb Kingston DDR2 800 RAM ----- U can save off some money here by going for 1 x 2 GB stick and adding another later.

writer: ASUS dvd writer

ups: no idea --------- Atleast Microket/luminous/APC 600 VA


I can suggest u the following config

Any 22" monitor (good quality) will cost u around 15k .. so u r left with 25k for the CPU and UPS...

Intel E7200 - 5500
Palit N73V / Gigabyte G31 board -- 2300/2600
2GB Kingston 800 Mhz -- 1700
Seagate/WD 640 GB - 3800
Coolermaster 330 -- 1800
Glacial Star GS500A- 1200
DVDRW - 1200
UPS Microtek - 1700
Total 19600 (With G31 board)

this leaves 5400 Rs for graphic card.. u can save some money(around 3k) by going for Viewsonic/LG/AOC 22" LCD ...

so by adding 1k more .. u can get Palit HD4850 512 for a awesum Gaming Rig in ur budget... other wise u can go for Palit 9800 GT or can wait sumtime for HD4830 to arrive.

The corsair PSU is good enough to handle your rig.
And don't go for Samsung, go for Dell or Viewsonic.
You can even look for a 22inch HD BENQ at Rs.14k approx.

the cabby is very good....

it be better if u just get CM690+VX620 ... it be about 10k ish in total..

avoid the antec smps.... its donkey-****....

buy corsair..coz its more energy efficient and a 620 will serve u when u upgrade...
and get a sapphire card if u can...
and avoid Asus DVD-RW... get sony...

Nov 18, 2008 at 4:55 PM
^^+1.

Corsair makes the best PSU. Get HX620W for now. a CM690 cabby is good. If out of budget, get a Elite 330 cabby.

But buying an onboard gfx mobo for intel, well all of them SUCK

And u won't be able to OC well in them

Reconsider

^True. Intel's IGPs are weaker than AMD's. But Intel's CPU beat the AMDs to death. Think!

Nov 19, 2008 at 7:05 PM
IGP >> INTEL SUCKS

PROCC>> INTEL RULEZ

END OF STORY

Lesson learnt, get HD4850 and a non-igp mobo together, even if u hav to wait 2 weeks

For cabinets Coolermaster Eliter 330, Zebronics Rage/Reaper or NZXT Alpha and the best Coolermaster 690
I have mentioned them in order of increasing prices

If wanna go for Dell decide quick and order even before you start assembling, because then you will know if it is available or not and have proper idea. SP2208 had been discontinued. If you can get it is good but will be priced more at 17K

for palit HD4850 which one to choose
corsire VX450 or zebronics 600w.
harryneopotter
Nov 19, 2008 at 10:39 PM
if u r buying HD4850 .. then dnt go for IGP board.

Corsair VX450 is wayyyyyyy better then Zebronics 600 W

acewin #31
Nov 19, 2008 at 10:43 PM
-1 for Zebronics 600W.
Corsair VX450 is good. or CoolerMaster Extreme 600W.
Decide the proccy first. Buy mobo with lowest price. They will have IGP, when you buy HD4850 also get good mobo.

Otherwise I will say try to go for minimum P35 based mobos like Palit P35A or Biostar TP35 or MSI P35 Neo they would cost aroun 4K

by that comp dict meant DG31 chipset is not a big on overclocking, and I do not think its really recommended to keep it like that for long.

Intel specifically introduced P Series for this aka overclocking.
For most of the boards, we can do overclocking more or less, but for long terms not all mobos will be recommended.

G31 has a PCI-e x16 slot. You can opt. for the G31 based ASUS P5K PLVM or NVIDIA based XFX 630i. Both are good and both are in your specified budget :).
