change the bold marked items:

1. why are you paying so much for those ram kits? get some value rams. that will do it.

2. MSI uses an open cooler. Sapphire uses Arctic Cooler. difference is Sapphire's cooler runs little extra silent. cooling is same in both. get 512Mb. well 1Gb card will be helpful cause the apps you mentioned all will be heavy on the ram as well as the graphics.

3. thats totally not needed. get VX450W or something like FSP Saga II 500W (provided you find it). moreover i think its Cooler Master which have a series known as GX

NOTE: you getting a 890GX motherboard. you may go with a single HD5670 512Mb for now. and add another in Xfire setup later, when Nvidia outs its GT420-440 cards. or you can do 1 thing. add a 9400GT for Physics (if your apps utilize it. they should. but games will welcome it openhanded)

[Hsakarp_kahtap]

Thanks Jaskanwar nd sam for ur best config , ... I will go to nehru palace for price estimate 2marrow nd by it on tuesday . Final Config .

Processor - AMD Phenom x6 1055t @ Rs.10000

Motherboard - MSI 890 gx -65 @ Rs.7200

GPU - Sapphire 5670@ Rs.6500(512 mb ver. is nt available in whole nehru palace)

SMPS -Cosair vx 450 @ 3800

Cabby - Nzxt Gamma@ 2400

HDD- Wd claviar Blue 500 G.B.@ Rs. 2000

Ram- Still Confused as facilty suggest go for performance ram but sam suggested value ram, Please put some light on it , becuase it one time purchase for next 3 years.also please tell which is better Cosair C9 Titanium or G-skills ripjaws ?

i'll suggest change the card to GTS250 512Mb. cause 1Gb is waste. moreover HD5670 isn't a very powerful card for DX11 gaming. it'll spoil everything.

as for ram, if you can go with the ripjaws. if you can include them in your budget.

why gt 250 , wat if i overclock 5670 .Can i play dx 11 cards on dx 10 cards ?

HD5670 fits between GT240 1Gb & GTS250 512Mb. OC it & it only narrows the gap to GTS250. if you use it on a 19" monitor, gaming is possible. but turn DX11 mode on (on games that support GX11) the card immediately falls behind all its competitor. so if DX11 you want, go with the cheapest HD5770.

that price is a killer one. well can go for those.

so costly cabinet?

also don't go for HD5750 how much they force you to. its a bad card. and more badly priced. also for the card keep it as it is. don't go for 512Mb. lacks firepower a bit.

Cabinnet is this one CM 690 II Advanced
the cabby have 2 models wit side window/ without side window,plz sugget for which 1 i will go for.
Don't worry Sam Bhai i will not buy 5750, its better to stick with IGp then 5750 , i know 5670 will give the same performance if overclock . I know once the sardarji will defently suggest me to go with 5750 as he want to sale amd products with 1st preference.

go for transparent side panel if u r looking for good looks

otherwise the plain vanilla is best suited for you

it will be hide in computer table so i don't think tranparent one will have any advantage for me, beekar mein extra paise spend karne ka khya faida.

yup. than its wastage. stick to non transparent panel. but sell out the extra money in adding fans

1st of all, why going for such expensive Hi-Speed Ram? AMD Phenom II series does support DDR3 memory controller, but their memory controller's speed is not as fast as their Intel Core series counter parts. You will only have negligible performance improvement, as slower memory controller of Phenom II series cannot take advantage of the hi speed memory.
Instead go for 4 GB value Ram at 5.2k and with the rest of the money go for a HD 5770.
GTS 250 is a good card, but they are near to obsolete now. Their availability and quality may not be up to the mark right now.

valuable ram is for Rs. 5700 nt a major price difference,one more does overclocking void warranty?

[mavihs]

have you bought it yet or planning to buy 2moro?
if OCing don't go fro value RAM! OCing does void the warranty but it really doesn't matter in India coz they really can't find out if it was OCed or not!
Also you got low budget for a workstation! are you learning animation & from where?
