Athlon II X2 240 2.8GHz @ 2.8k
Biostar A780L3 @ 2.6k
2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 2.5k
Palit GF9500GT 512MB DDR-II @ 2.7k

ok,5k for cpu & mobo leaves...what...3 k for psu,ram,hd,& a gpu (dx10, mind u).

M doin this sort of thing for the first time, but there goes the best gaming/downloading rig for EIGHT THOUSAND RUPEES.

CPU - AMD Sempron 140 @ 1600.
MOBO - any FOXCONN AM2+/AM3, DDR2 MOBO (foxconn makes 'em cheapest) @ 2K.
Memory - kingston 512 MB/1 GB DDR2 RAM Stick - 900
HD - 40 GB Seagate @ ~1k
PSU - ANYTHING thats square & has wires comming from end of it. (supercom dont-kno-what-volt-warrantyless-hazardous power supply unit) @ 400
GPU - NA / XFX 8400 GS (450 Mhz) @ 1800 last i checked
CABINET - NOT REQUIRED /keep it at open/cover it with cardboard box/ steal one from nearby computer acadamy.
(anything u can get cheap for 500 bucks)
keyboard-mouse- steal one from nearby computer acadamy / buy anything thats under 600 rupees.

TOTAL - 8800 (INCLUDING the keyboard-mice-cabinet you couldnt steal)

Jul 2, 2010 at 8:29 PM
What i gave is the perfect way to flush 8k down the toilet.

If i were your brother, i'd slap you.
Say what, use that 8k to make a 6 months all time account at a cyber cafe, & use their pc. Shift your bed & stuff & all.

Other opinion, rent a pc for 8k. (or cheaper)

*buy second/third hand rig.

*admit your self in some sort of yoga/military camp for 6 months

* get a cell phone & use crappy gprs to download at .2kbps.

*steal

* (please insert some funny suggestion here)

really dude, i am about to a buy a gpu costlier than that.
Ppl have psu @ 10k.

Please, save your money to save that regret ur gonna have later.

hey, just a thought
do you think the ati hd 4200 igp would be able to handle half lfe ep2
doom 3, fallout 3 at my screen resolution of 1024x768?
if yes, then i can cut on the discrete graphics
this is just a temporary solution for 6-7 months
i am not going to play crysis for the matter!!
just some old timers between 2004 and 2008

in 2008 i created a rig for 10k(only cabinet components)
i went to the streets of lamington road

BIOSTAR :: A780L3 :: Specification
here's the link jas
btw sammy says not to bother with the hd4650
cause he says availability of the 512mb one is a big question
he says to go for a mobo with hd4200

what do you think jas?

dude you are giving the link of A780L3, this is a ddr3 mobo, i mentioned it in my first post...i know the link of bio a780l but i am saying that the lynx site has mentioned diff specs...


dude in my opinion as you are not going to use this pc anymore after 6-7 months, get a hd4650 if available or a 9500gt, these are better than hd4200 onboard...
if you will upgrade this one only after 6-7 months then go with a 785g based mobo...
coderunknown
Jul 3, 2010 at 10:57 AM
^^ yup. i just told if available, get it. but finding won't be easy for sure. also to know availability @ Lynx, u need visit their forum & post a query. for TechShop, i think u can simply buy it.

good news guys.....
my dad decided to loosen his wallet a little bit..
so the budget currently stands at 19-20k
and this time i'm including 15-16"lcd widescreen monitor too(preferably dell widescreen)
but it should not in any way exceed 20k(including vat)

'cause my dad said i have to put up with this computer for 1 year at max
and when my elder brother is gonna buy me the gaming rig he promised me next year,
my dad is going to keep this 20k rig at home for accounting purposes!!!

so guys please suggest me the best config you can(excluding speakers,ups)

guys,
good news my elder brother intervened
and he says he can supply me a max of 34-35k
so it looks like i dont have to wait till next year for the rig after all

just one problem though,
will this budget be able to accomodate an HD5770?

p.s.
sorry for changing the budget so often
but you know how it is with parents!!
they think that gaming on computers is worse than drugs!!!:lol:


this includes everything from scratch except the speakers(i have an old one)

how do i change the name on the thread guys?

isnt the ion platform strong enuf to game casually?

sam cleared my senseless dream though

and since mag will be costlier than ur 14.5k confg , so ur the way to go.

hmm ooh 35k head over to latest price thread. but considering the rate at whch u up the budget i will wait till ya go from 8-80k :p

good news my elder brother intervened
and he says he can supply me a max of 34-35k
so it looks like i dont have to wait till next year for the rig after all

just one problem though,
will this budget be able to accomodate an HD5770?

p.s.
sorry for changing the budget so often
but you know how it is with parents!!
they think that gaming on computers is worse than drugs!!!:lol:


this includes everything from scratch except the speakers(i have an old one)

something my parents always scold me for. i game a lot. ok for 35k, lets see:

Processor: Athlon II X3 435 2.9GHz @ 4k
Motherboard: Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.3k
Ram: Corsair 2Gb DDR3-1333Mhz Value @ 2.7k
Graphics Card: Biostar HD5770 1GB GDDR5 @ 8.7k
PSU: FSP Saga II 400W @ 2k
Cabinet: Zebronics Bijli without PSU @ 1.2k
Hard Drive: WDC Blue 500Gb @ 2k
Monitor: Benq G2020HD @ 6.5k
DVD Writer: needed?
Keyboard-Mouse: Logitech Internet Desktop Pro @ 0.6k
UPS: APC BR550VA @ 1.8k

total: 33.8k. so add tax & if any additional charges: 34k. spend the extra 1k on UPS. and the FSP Saga II 400W will be able handle the HD5770. will be tight but won't be a issue.

i mean the temp
surrounding=typical indian home:mrgreen:
temp=typical indian summer:twisted:
scenario=4 hours of hard core gaming, 12 hours of downloading:wink:

i hope the cm 310 would be enough to handle all this :neutral:

@jas
i think the prices you mentioned are grossly underrated
add 300 bucks to each of them
and what we have got is the real world price
and then there's the evil VAT!!!
sigh!!

better idea
put the whole rig inside the refrigerator
and keep only the display and keyboard out of the refrigerator:lol:

none of jas price is underrated. check SMC & a few other pc stores (online). all are inc of tax. SMC's item is inc of carry charge as well.

better idea
put the whole rig inside the refrigerator
and keep only the display and keyboard out of the refrigerator:lol:

excellent FLOP idea. who will pay the price of refrigerator? ok u got refrigerator at your house, so do i. now who will pay the extra price of electricity bill. again i agree, fridge always on (almost always). but than again, who'll take mom's scold for using up 1 whole slot of the refrigerator for keeping the cabinet inside? :-D

i heard the material of zebby cases are very flimsy nowadays

i got a better suggestion. if your PC hangs, don't kick or punch the cabby. your hand will go in & get stuck :lol: this explains the quality of Zebronic's entry level cabby's status.

ha. form change nehi hoga. but dry ice thanda to karge pc ko. also dry ice slowly vaporize hota hain. so no water also last longer.

how long will it last in a 480 quad sli?

how long will it last in a 480 quad sli?

well it kind of depends. on the room temperature. if the dry ice substituted directly onto the mobo (will cause instant damage i feel) or if its put on the cabinet. also if you put a meshed dry ice mix or a solid brick of dry ice. why buddy? wanna try at home? :grin:
