suggest the most up to date configuration...

hey please suggest me a LATEST high end configuration for a PC which is gonna be used as a gaming rig + TV + DvD Player + Audio Jukebox!

i'm buying a new computer.... and my limit is upto Rs. 50,000 without a monitor.... i already own a LG flatron 17" CRT monitor....

and SLI support is preferable... also please tell me that what is better AGP cards or PCI slot cards? and i want creative inspire speaker.... suggest me the version...

common guys.... i need a suggestion quick

V

i dont think u can get a real high end config for 50k

anyways this is my suggestion,

AMD athlon 3500+
ASUS a8n SLI delux
XFX geforce 6800gs- 256mb
Lite-On 1693 DVD riter
floppy drive
Antec 500w P/W
any cabinet of ur choice
APC ups
Creative inspire- 5.1
keyboard and mouse set from Microsoft

and for info search the forum, there so many posts on this one

ok 50 K is the limit....
ok then i shud rather ask for a "upper mid-end" PC config....

can this PC have an intel processor..... cause my brother wont let me buy an AMD processor as he doesnt recognize it to be very popular...... huh.. CRAP!! but as i cant do anythign about his opinion i'll have to go with an intel processor....

V

ok, i hate intel
but coz u force me to
then i say,

go for the lowest intel dual core
(dont remember the model number maybe Pentium D 820)
costs around 13k

and a 945 chipset based mobo

Z

ok....go for a p4 with 3.4 ghz and 1 gb of ddr ram and 160 gb hardisk and a dvd combo......

isnt a dualcore better?

Get an opteron s939 if available,

Even if he does not recognize AMD as much tell him to see the server market and how Opterons have left Xenons helpless.

i am sad that u cant get an AMD,

i think intel 3.4 will be better than an intel dual core, somehow i just dont believe on intel dual cores, they are just manufactured for the name "dual core"

V

problem with opteron s939 is availablity of good high end compatible mother board.
if u get u will be the monster.
if u dont get go for amd 3500+ with
msi k8n diamond plus this motherboard perticularly has all the features that no motherboard has.
eg creative 7.1 onboard sound
go for atleast 512mb hynix best 1gb ram
sony dual layer 16x dvd writer

i bet this would be best combination

what in this world are u talking about......
it will work on any s939 mobo,

MSI K8N Diamond Plus

MSI K8N SLI
MSI K8N Diamond
MSI K8N SLI Platinum

MSI K8N Neo4-FI
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

MSI K8N Neo4-F

MSI K8N Neo4-FX

MSI K8NGM2 Series

MSI K8N Neo2-F
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum

MSI K8N Neo2-FX

MSI K8T Neo2-F V2.0
MSI K8T Neo2 Series

MSI RD480 Neo2

MSI RX480 Neo2-F
MSI RX480M2

MSI RS482M2 Series
MSI RS482M4 Series
MSI RS480M2

all these will contain opterons.....
so basically get any socket 939 mobos,

here is ASUS motherboards

*in.asus.com/products2.aspx?l1=3&l2=15

hey... is opetron for home use i mean... someone said that opetron left the xenons helpless.... and as far as i know xenon is mainly a server chip...
and hey i'm a compleete noob with these mobo and chipset things........
so can u plz tell me the ultimate combination!??

and can u tell me if this A8N-VM CSM is available in india... and what is the price and is it good?

PLEASE discuss and give me the best combination...

T

Lite-On 1693 DVD riter has some compatibility issues with dual layer DVD-Rs so u must go for a sony dual layer 16x dvd writer

Opterons are server Processors...... they put intel XENON market in bad shape

I would actually call an opteron a real beast.... it has huge overclocking potential, a 1Mb L2 cache, and exellent performance,

Sometime back opterons were released on socket 939 also, which means we can use opterons now in our desktops, i am planning on buying one.
Opterons are a steal for their price but s939 opterons are so badly in demand that i dont think they need to ship them to india, so if u get one, jump on it.

So, basically we are getting opterons at higher price, i am ready to pay that to within reasonable limits.

what u can do is get an opteron and any s939 motherboard that u would have got with an athlon,
But I will VERY VERY STRONGLY suggest u get a motherboard with good overclocking features
and get the best ram around,

so the motherboard of my choice with an opteron will be ASUS A8N-E, with graphics card seperately, now choice of graphics card depends on the budget.

this is what i plan to get, and i am searching for an opteron, the more money i have, the higher opteron i will get.

ok so motherboard: ASUS A8N-E
RAM: hynix 1 GB DDR
processor: AMD athlon 3500+/athalon 64 FX 939 pin
speakers: creative inspire 5.1
power supply: antec
DVD R/RW: Sony/Liteon (NOT SAMSUNG!)
Kboard And mouse: Logitech
HDD: Seagate 180 GB SATA II

now that is what have learnt from this discussion as of yet....
some one plz tell me shud i get a 64 bit processor or not? is there any use?
cause this is gonna be for home gaming and media center type PC.

has this motherboard got integrated video hardware acceleration?
also please tell me what is nForce 4?

ok... now is nForce 4 a chipset like intel 915 or something?

are there gonna be any isuues with stuff which asks for "pentium class" processors???

will a pentium D processor work on a A8N-E?

also please suggest a purely intel based machine config
and also the best intel processor & MoBo combo

will u please use the "EDIT" button.....

i suggested an opteron, and not an athlon 3500+.

A8N-E does not have any integrated video. you will need a graphics card.

U cannot put a LGA775 processor in a socket 939 motherboard, no intel processor can be put in an AMD supporting motherboard (and converse).

if u insist on intel, u can get an intel Pentium D 820, this should be available and in ur budget.

It seems you are having fun by boring others, asking silly and idiotic questions repeatedly. And you don't seem serious.

"Mr. V.Prem Kumar", if you do not want to help, why not keep quite and mind your own business. and let me get help for myself! (the_raven please dont mind) huh... freaks!

and as i mentioned in the first post that i am a n00b in this stuff.. so arnt n00b questions supposed to be "silly and idiotic". This just shows your ignorance to teach someone something new and over that you are discouraging it... shame on you!

and ahem.... for all the nice ones helping me out here... please tell me the best motherboard which is gonna be the best match for a Pentium D...
and has got some NiCE video card inbuilt...(nVidia)...

Get AMD

Intel sucks

i wonder if you can get a dual core enabled rig wid other supplementing high end config for 50k! why don't you go in for pentium EE? or a 3.4ghz proccy?
