Suggest AMD rig worth 20k urgent!!!!

[Vensanga]

Guys am planning to assemble a new system for a friend..will be using as a multimedia PC so please can u suggest a good configuration and the budget is 20k....if possible were in favour of the DDR3..will not be needing monitor(already have Samsung B2030) and Cabinet..

1.AMD Processor
2.Motherboard(with decent onboard graphics to play decent games)
3.Ram (2gb DDR3)
4.Smps (looking at CorsairVX 450)
5.HDD (looking at WD 500)
6.DVD Rom (around 1.2k)

Like i've said Monitor and Cabinet not required...Will be buying online from Lynx @ Chandigarh or Prime ABGB @Mumbai!!!

Processor - AMD Athlon ii x4 630 - 5k
Motherboard - Biostar 785G3 HD - 4k
RAM - 2*2 GB DDR3 - 5k
PSU - Corsair VX 450 - 4k
HDD - WD Caviar Blue 500GB - 2k
DVD Drive - LG/Samsung/Sony DVD Writer - 1k

Total - 21k

if you are on a really tight budget go for FSP Saga 500W for 3k

[Vensanga]

so if i stick with ur configuration will there be a problem is i wanted to buy graphics card in the future...the smps will be fine and will the processor and mobo be good enough???What about the Phenon processor???

[Jaskanwar Singh]

Athlon II X4 635 2.9GHz @ 5k
Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.2k
2*2 GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 5.2k
WD Caviar Blue 500GB @ 2k
LG H55N @ 1k
FSP saga II 400W @ 2k

Total - 19.4k

which graphics card?

then change the psu to FSP saga II 500W @ 2.7k and the total cost comes to be 20.1k

[Vensanga]

will be purchasing a new graphics card in the future(may be 3 or 4 months from now)..the budget will be fine...

[Jaskanwar Singh]

i mean if you will go with HD5770 in the future then fsp 500w is fine.
but if you plan a hd5850 or something then corsair vx550w @ 4.7k.

[Vensanga]

HD5770 will be more than enough if the VX450 can handle it....he will not be gaming that much so 5850 will not be required...

[Jaskanwar Singh]

hd5770 will run good on fsp saga II 500w
although if you go with corsair vx450w then it will be very good.

jas has already suggested a good config. don't so any experiment with his config. do change PSU according to this:

FSP Saga II 400W or Gigabyte 460W ---> HD5670.
FSP Saga II 500W or Corsair VX450W ---> HD5770.

i was wondering about the AMD Phenom II 555 BE,the Price is not that similar and what about MSI 785G-53 rather than Biostar...will stick with the Corsairvx450...
Lynx seems to be selling at the lowest prices as compared to others (dont know about the service though)...

X2 555 is a dual core. better stay away from it. you can try unlock its extra cores but theres always a risk it won't unlock. if it fails to unlock, than you stuck. about the MSI board, check its pricing. if its high, skip it & instead get 8 series mobo.

Lynx pricing is excluding of tax & carry charge.
SMC ---> inc of tax & carry charge.
Prime, Media, IT & others ---> inc of tax only.

ok thnks alot for clearing that...here are my suggestion..
1.AMD Athlon II X4 635
2.MSI 785-E53
3.Corsair VS 1333Mhz DDR3 2gb
4.Corsair VX 450
5.WD 500 HDD...
will these configuration do????

[Jaskanwar Singh]

dude biostar mobo is excellent..spend the rest on ram as i mentioned..

[Vensanga]

ok then if i change the mobo to Biostar TA785G3 HD and the RAM to a better one it will be ok???

[Jaskanwar Singh]

dude i have already suggested you a good config....you just need to change the powersupply as sam suggested

[Vensanga]

wats wrong with Corsair 450...will be upgrading to 4gb and with decent graphics so i think the Vx450 will be more future proof....
