Gaming CPU

[Krow]

@ VenkiP4 Should u choose a DDR2 setup, go for GA-MA-790GP-UD4H as Ds4H has all six 6 sata ports facing the sky. They'll be blocked if u choose to use a second GPU later.

Else go for DDR3.

GA-MA-790GP-UD4H

this board is really worth very hard one , i just dropped my sharped screw driver in the mobo still only small scratch but nevermind works cool , solderings & capacitor are much well placed

Thanks for suggestion. I am planning to go for DDR3 setup....

@desibond, Golcha qouted me the following prices.

MOTHER BOARD: MSI 790GX MSI
9500 ONWARDS
X3 720BE PROCESSER AMD
7000
RAM 2x2GB DDR3 HYNIX
3400
GTX 260 / 275 GRAPHICS CARD PALIT
11000 / 13500
500GB HARDDISK SATA WESTREN DIGITAL
2900
DVD WRITER SAMSUNG
1000
EA 650 SMPS COOLERMASTER / CORSAIR
4000 / 5800
Elite 334 COOLERMASTER
2500 ONWARDS
2233SW LCD MONITOR SAMSUNG
10300
KEYBOARD + MOUSE G1 LOGITECH
1500

I think the price prices are OK. What do u say?
Should I wait for GFX card, or get GTX260/275? the price difference is 2500 only...

[desiibond]

I would take Transcend instead of Hynix. Did you check cheapest price of Corsair/OCZ DDR3 memory?

Palit GTX275 for 13.5k is a very very good price.

Writer they are giving OEM samsung. Get everything except the writer there. Get Samsung writer that comes in a box. you may need to search a bit for that.

Everything else looks good. For PSU, ask if they can get you GlacialTech (atleast by preordering).
Motherboard, you may need to bargain to get the price down to 9.2k

[j1n M@tt]

when ordering GlacialPower be specific on the model no. GP-AL650AA is 4.5k at Lynx...the AL650A is not a gud model...look out the difference for the A and AA, don't make a mistake!!

[damngoodman999]

PALIT GTX 275 comes with 216 unified cores , i mean the 1 month back GTX 275 palit comes like so dont buy GTX 275 from palit , evga GTX 275 is best out there

[VenkiP4]

We can not crossfire two NVIDIA cards(GTX 260)...right?
Then I think its better to choose ATI card....as I have plans to do crossfire whenever needed.....wat do u say?

[desiibond]

no you cannot crossfire. for that you need to have SLI mobo based on nVidia north/south bridge.

So is it better to buy HD4850/4870?

[desiibond]

PS: Curious since I'm going to need a keyboard/mouse combo soon once I get my desktop/laptop.

no serious gamer will actually go for Logitech G1 gaming combo.

it is better to buy a Logitech mx518 mouse (1600dpi) which comes for ~Rs.1300 + a keyboard for Rs.500.

[VenkiP4]

@venki, no UPS?

also, put that Woofer close to the wall and you will get more boom

[dOm1naTOr]

woofer shud be placed on floor, orelse the table will vibrate producing continuous boom instead of punchy bass.
