Hello Digit users,

I am a basic Android developer. I want to sell my old laptop(Acer Aspire 4738Z, 2 years old) and buy a Desktop for my personal use, gaming as well as android development. My budget is around 35k-40k.

Here are my basic requirements:
*A fast processor of atleast 2.5Ghz clock speed and quad/octa core.(An Intel i5 maybe, but which variant?)
*Atleast 4GB RAM
*HDD of around 500GB-750GB.
*A Graphic Card for Games like NFS The Run, GTA-4, COD MW4, Far Cry3 and other high end games. (Now Compulsory)
* Atleast a 18" LCD/LED monitor (A resolution nice enough to play those games)
* A DVDRW drive

It should be able to run both Linux and Windows.

All with a preferable motherboard, Power supply and a case.

I don't want to OC it.
Will be using Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12


Also, please suggest a good wifi receiver(I have a wifi modem at home).


EDIT:

Questions as per forums:

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans:I want the COmputer for ANdroid development with java and smali programming. Also, for games like GTA, NFS, Applications like MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:Budget is of About 35K, can be maximum extended to 40K

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:No Plans As such.

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: A dual boot with Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:500-750GB

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: Yes, I need a monitor of some nice resolution and 18"

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: No such components.

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: In a month or two.

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:Will be done by an assembler.

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans:I live in Mohali, Chandigarh. I am also Open to buy stuff online if I don't find them locally.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: The PC should be clocking at ~2.6Ghz and a Graphic card. What about the GT640? Can it run those games or I need some other Card?

Also, a wifi reciever.

Here is my recommendation:-

AMD FX 8120 (3.1 GHz, 8 Cores, 8 MB L2, 8 MB L3, Turbo Boost up to 4GHz) @ 9.3K
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 @ 5.3K
G-Skill RipjawX 1600 MHz 4GB Ram @ 1.5K
WD Caviar Green SATA III 6 Gbps 500 GB HDD (64 MB Cache) @ 3.5K
Corsair CX 430V2 PSU @ 2.6K
A Generic Big Cabinet w/o SMPS @ 1K
Acer S191HQL 18.5" (1366X768) Slim LED Display @ 5.25K
Logitech MK100 Keyboard & Mouse Combo @ 0.4K
Sapphire/MSI HD 6670 1GB GDDR5 @ 5.6K

Total: 34.45K, completely within your budget. Now if you wanna spend 40K then get a bigger Monitor and little powerful Graphics card.

Here is the choice:
Acer S200HL 20" LED (1600X900) @ 5.9K
Powercolor HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 @ 6.6K

Hello TDF guys,

I could not get the new PC back then due to some problems. Now, As we all know, prices and tech changes pretty fast in the world of Computers. The Configuration Cilus Told is pretty great. But I wanted to ask if the AMD FX 8120 better or the Intel i5 3570K.
Also, please see this link and tell me if they include the motherboard with the processor in it too? I am confused as it shows an in-built Graphic Chip but those are usually on Motherboards not Processors. Please help.

Hello there, thanks for recommendations. I had checked those components back in november. But I couldn't get that back then. Now, I have the money in hand. If there are any different components available now, please tell. Also, I have changed my sneers in the questionnaire to suite my present need. Please tell.
Thanks

Thanks, but this rig is a bit too much out of budget. My dad promised 35k nd I have about 5k in hand. Please change it a bit, after adding those fans, the cost would further increase.

Okay, what's the street price of FX 8150?
Guess it should be between 8320-8120. Also, in sub 10k range fir processor, what would be the best?

You can go for i5 3470.Adobe creative suite contains lot of programs.In most programs except Premiere pro i5 3470 is better than fx8350 in general.
i5 3470+Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H would cost less,if money is left can be used for a better GPU or display.

They are both priced at ~11.5k on flipkart. Only given a difference of 100INRs. market difference would be about 1k maximum. I'l put that money for case if the difference is actually much..

AMD cards are almost always rated higher than the required power to keep things safe from their side. CX430V can work even with an GTX 660 and i5 3550 if the GPU isn't overclocked. You are completely safe using 7750 or 7770 with cx430v2 and can happily overclock them to get every drop of performance.

You can get a very good value of recommended PSU wattage from here: *www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

I tried the PSU calculator on mdcomputers.in, it gave me 273, so I guess a 430W would do fine.

273W? It gave 373W; you might need a re-calculation. CX430V will be perfectly enough.

No need to read much into that wattage calculator here.These calculators overestimate system power consumption.
This config is not going to consume 250Watts even at full load.
Check this:AMD Radeon HD 7750 and 7770 review - Hardware setup | Power consumption
The power consumption there was calculated with an overclocked i7 965@3.75GHz which consumes more power than an i5 3470.
Also this: Power Consumption : AMD Radeon HD 7770 And 7750 Review: Familiar Speed, Less Power
Here an i7 3960x@4.2GHz was used which consumes significantly more power than an i5 3470.
No need to worry for power consumption here,that PSU is fine enough to handle those with ease.

Yeah, it gives a slightly higher Wattage and that too considering all the components to be at full load; which never happens; hence, giving a safe value to hover around.

Motherboard has nothing to do with graphic card's memory size and type.

Thanks for clearing that doubt. But these don't end here. The Set of RAM I finalized, Gskill RipjawX 4GB 1600Mhz, doesn't support B75 type motherboards, please suggest some other set of RAM.

The board supports upto 2.2 Ghz mem speed . You are fine with that RAM

The M/B is not in the supported list.

I don't think it would work then.

It is not listed in the supported mobos on the RAM's page.

Its not the case that every manufacturer will show the supported Mobo's... If its DDR3 and the Mobo is DDR3 supported you are good to go.

Okay, seems I can get price quote of the parts tomorrow then.

Okay, I went to a Store in Sector 22 here in Chandigarh,
these are the prices he quoted for the products:

Intel Core i5 3470: 11k
Gigabyte GA-B75D3H: 4.2k
4GB RipJawX 1600Mhz RAM : 2.3k ( I'm doubtful on this 1 as every1 here said it's priced near 1500 but on online stores also, the price is given ~2.3k, please suggest)
WD Caviar Green 500GB: 3k (I asked Blue, he said only green is available. any difference? I read green is less power consuming, will the performance also go less??)
Sapphire 7750HD: 6.6k
Corsair CX430Wv2: 2.6k
HP Dvd 1260i Burner: 980 bucks
Dell IN2030M: 6.35k
After these were totaled, the price was 37k, so I went for a good case, he said he has cooler Master case, I read about HAF912 case in february comparison so asked for it.

CM HAF912: 4.5k

Total: 41.5k (excluding keyboard/mouse)

Is the price alright in Chandigarh? Is there much price difference in products like these if I get them from Delhi? My father has to go Delhi 2-3times a months so it won't be much problem. Is there a difference worth buying it from delhi?

The ram is overpriced. Don't go for the green, it's notorious for being unreliable , check WELCOME TO MDCOMPUTERS ::::::::::The Ultimate IT Solutions:::::::::: , they offer good prices. The other components are good, change the above and your good to go.

Is MD Computers Trusted? DO they offer COD?

EDIT:
They don't have the 4GB RipjawX, and the one they have is a bit overpriced compared to laptop RAM I'd say.

I dont know If they offer COD . But they are very very reliable.... Many users have bought from them ... You may ask Cilus for more info.

Okay, I found the Caviar HDD on it but they don't have the RipJawX.

In that case, you can safely opt G.Skill Sniper or Corsair Vengance (100 to 150 INR higher price).

I looked up on the internet also, everywhere, the RipJawX and Vengeance are given for ~2200.
I found RipJawX for 2200 on Extreme Machine.in
Is extreme machine trusted website? Also, the cabinet I want, Circle Tornado, is available for 4.3k
They don't have CM HAF 912, but I saw that this 1 is better. Can I order these from this website?
Also, as the price of all 4GB RAM is almost 2200 everywhere, should I go for it?

How many 4 GB Ram sticks you are planning to get? If you want 8 GB Ram in 4GB X 2 config then it will be over 4K. If you want a single 4GB stick then get the Corsair Vengeance 8GB X 1 1600 MHz Ram @ 3.8K from Mdcomputers.in.
Here is the link: Search - vengeance

I wanted only 1 stick. 4GB RAM would be enough I believe.

Get single vengeance module and avoid that cabinet. I would seriously recommend to get Corsair 300R (3900) or 400R (4900) instead; both are superb cabinets.

Okay, I'll go for vengeance then,but Corsair 300R is priced at 5.7k and 400R @ 6.2k on flipkart and Corsair models aren't available around Chandigarh.

Please suggest a Cabinet under 4.5k-5k. Already extended budget to 41k
I don't want much funky thing but 1 or 2 LED Fans don't harm. also, if the fans can be in-built and there's a USB 3.0 front port, it would be great, I searched for the Circle Volcano, its not available anywhere.

Flipkart is overpriced. Check mdcomputers. 300R is available for 3900 and 400R for 4900.
