PC upgrade

[ninad_mhatre85]

Hi
i want to change the processor , mobo & ram of my machine .. there are 2 reasons for it ..
1 ) i use adobe lighthouse which hangs if i select more than 30 photos ... which irritates me
2 ) i am using same hardware for 2 yrs and i guess i need upgrade

my budget is 15K

i need at least 2GB ram suggest me which brand to buy ?

you haven't mentioned config of your old rig.... please mention it first then only we can suggest possible upgrades....

As you haven't mentioned your previous configuration so it is hard to suggest sumthing. Coz we need to know the cabinet, and PSU most to suggest something. Other components like Monitor is also necessary somewhere.

BTW with some assumption I suggest this upgrade:

AMD Phenom II X2 555BE + MSI 785G-E53 @ 10.5k
Transcend/Kingston 4GB(2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz @ 5k

he into photo-shopping. so a quad core will be best for him. he can go for the X4 635. or 630. if there is a price cut (as X4 640 been released), he should get X4 635 for below 5k. also 4Gb ram will be needed.

AMD Athlon X2 64 bit ( 2.1 GHz )
Asus Mobo
1 GB ram
circle cabi & PSU ( i am not sure about PSU wattage )

rig is good. MSI mobo available for 5k & below. but gigabyte? which 1? i not yet seen a 785G/880G based giggy below 5.5k. no online shop or any store. only gigabyte is a 740G based for 2.5k or so. DDR3.

i knew smthng was not ok here
i dunno y giga r so costly,just like asus?

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Ya go for Biostar boards. It'll come within your budget. May be Biostar TA785GE @ 3.8k

Or if you can slighly strech your budget g for Gigabyte ones like MA785G-U2SH, MA785G-UD2H @ 6k or so.

i'd recommend MSI GF615M-P33 its under 3k, has an AM3 socket and it supports ddr3 ram aswell
just a few shortcomings -
CPU max support : phenom ii x4 945
just 2 ram slots
mATX : u can't put any large gfx card in it
its good for the short term if u don't plan any upgrades but i'll have to change it the next time u upgrade
