^^Ya, you are saying that you want to buy a Ferrari in the budget of a Maruti ? No offence but you Q8200, SLi/XFire mobo and DDR3 RAM all in the budget of 35k 0_o.

1st :- Core 2 duos are better
2nd :- Stay away from AMD right now
3rd :- DDR3 does perform better than DDR2 but performance increment is little so dont buy it.

Go for :-

E7200
MSI P45 Neo-F
1x2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
Palit HD4850 512MB GDDR3
CM EP500W PSU
Zebronics Bijli cabinet
Dell 198WFP 19" LCD
Samsung SH-203B optical drive
WD Caviar SE16 640GB HDD
Logitech Gaming G1 desktop kbd/mouse

now, you need to buy processor, mobo, ram and Graphics card

Processor: E8400 for 8.5k
RAM: Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5 (2 X 2GB DDR2 800MhZ C5) kit for 5k
mobo: ASUS P5Q Pro for CF setup 8k or MSI P45 Neo-F for 5.5k (no CF)
GPU: Palit HD4870 for 17k or two HD4850's in Crossfire mode for 19k

Choice is yours

E8400 8.5k
Transcend/kingston 2x2Gb DDR2800 ram 3.5k
MSI P45 Neo-F 5.5k
HD4850 9.5k
Cooler master RS500-PCARA3 500W : 2.5k

you won't be able to get i7 for 35k.

2Gb DDR3 price is around 5k.
you may not need CF board int he future as X2 single slot cards from ATI are showing lot of promise, removing the need for CF setup

HD4850 X2 single slot dual GPU card kicking GTX280 :)
E8400 easily beats Q8200 in gaming.

WHAT IS OVERCLOCKING R THE ABOVE PART'S HAVE OVER CLOCKING FEATURE N DO I NEED CROSSFIRE....N HOW IS i7 core processor
Psychosocial
Nov 10, 2008 at 12:43 AM
Overclocking means to increase a processor's speed but that will make it hot and also resulting in lesser product life... do it at ur own risk !!

Yup, all processor's OCable ... it actually depends on a mobo as to how well you can OC and the mobo I have suggested has set a record for OC'ing and stability.

Wether u need crossfire or not is upto you... Crossfire = two, three or 4 ATi cards working together. Its upto you to choose. If you need crossfire then u will have to change the mobo too. If u choose to go for Crossfire, get the ASUS P5Q Pro board.

i7 are a nice set of proccys... but in gaming, they are the same as Quads... otherwise they are blazingly fast.

And ya, Quads fail in front of Core 2 Duos in gaming.... so stick with E8500 as of now..

Corsair TWIN2X4096-8500C5D (2 X 2GB DDR2 1066MhZ): 10k totally unworthy

i7 is the king of all CPUs but its too damn costly to even consider by a budget spender.

If thats the case, you can try exceeding your 35K budget, and pushing it to reasonable hights. Then go for some EMI option if you want to spend 10K every two months.

Dec 9, 2008 at 7:32 AM
SLI is for nVidia cards the same way Crossfire is for ATI cards,
SLI motherboards are not that good IMO, stick to mobos like Asus P5Q Pro or P5Q-E, cost 8.5K and 10K respectibly. on site it says P5Q-E has better energy-saving features, but I cannot comment on it.

yup go for EMI option and buy nehalem
comp@ddict
Dec 9, 2008 at 12:47 PM

If u go for EMI, then don't go for anything at all. Wait till Feb nxt year and u'll se Deneb vx Nehalem head to head, and also March-April, u can get GTX350 and HD58xx series.

amitash #38
Dec 9, 2008 at 2:02 PM
^Again deneb is no match for the nehalem and its also priced at 280$ approx same as i7-920 and as he wants to buy DDR3 he can go for:
Core i7 920 Rs: 15500 inclusive of VAT.(lynx-india see prices thread)
Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4 Rs: 14300 inclusive of VAT
Transcend tri-channel: approx 8k
and possibly a 4870/4850
It is quite expensive..the total will come in between 50-60k but i feel its better to get this now if you have EMI and you can also add another 4870/4850 in the future if you feel its difficult to play games....Otherwise you can go for the already listed core2 configs

Dec 9, 2008 at 7:23 PM
Hey dude, if u can then go for the nVidia nForce 680i SLI motherboard.... it's damn good at the price of around rs.10500... you can go for the slightly lower-grade processor core2duo extreme(2.8 GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 1066 MHz FSB) - rs.7000, 4 x 1GB DDR2 RAM 800 MHz(Transcend) - rs.3600, 500 GB Seagate Hard disk - rs.3000, for graphics i suggest palit radeon HD4850 1GB - rs.8000 approx., and the rest can include altec lansing BXR1121 2.1 channel sound system- rs.1050, 17" LCD monitor-7000, dvd writer, cabinet+smps, keyboard+mouse - all within about rs. 11000 - that makes the total price around rs. 50000...... a bit off your budget, but right now i'm running this configuration with windows vista ultimate 64-bit.... and that makes computing heavenly...... really!!!!

^You cant just GIVE something a "chance"...Its not a game, its real money being spent here...why settle for second best when you can have the best?...Give the i7-920 a little push to 3.2Ghz+ and its even better than the i7-965 extreme stock and you can do it on stock cooling with 5 mins in the BIOS....The deneb is priced priced too close to the i7-920 and cant beat its performance and the X58 class of mobos cant be matched in features by AMD chipsets....
