a new machine for 3d and games

[ajayashish]

I want to upgrade my machine and the main purpose will be 3D design and rendering and Also latest game play with full features on.
i can invest around 40000-50000 on this.

Things i want to buy are:
a Motherboard (with wifi)
Processor (quad core or core 2)
Ram (preferable 4GB or more)
Graphic card ( 512MB or 2 Sli)
cabinet and smps

can some one suggest me a good combination.

i will also buy a Monitor if possible. I have a 17" Samsung TFT which i can sell and buy a 19" or 22" Dell or samsung monitor... Please also suggest on that

Q6600=11500
MSI 8800 GT OC=13500
Cooler MAster Cabby + 460W CM SMPS (separate) = 5000 , around 4k if u buy a cheaper cabinet
4 GB Ram = 4000 ,say
A Wifi Mobo = Asus P5K Deluxe Wi FI = 13000
Total = 47000

Dell 22'' = 13000

Are u sure i can get the Corsair ram that cheap.. i heard 4gb of that will cost me around 12000...

also will 460w smps be sufficient... i will be having 3 hdd 1dvd writer running (might be one extra fan)

[nvidia]

460w smps may not be enuf for that config.
Get atleast 500W.
And corsair rams are available for that price. There are modules which are even more expensive

I have 1 sata hdd, 2 normal HDD and one DVD writer... as i read the motherboard specifications i can use only DVD and one writer and 6 sata hdds... i think there is only one IDE slot ( i think i named it right)

[nish_higher]

Thats not high end ram,its a high-mid end.+ u really not spend 6k on a cabinet if it doesnt matter.Cooler master cabby + PSU 460W = 5.5k max
and
P5K DLX Wi-Fi costs 13k not 10.5k

better go in for a X48 chipset based mobo by Asus.

[ajayashish]

How many NON SATA HDD can i use on this Mobo...

[nish_higher]

^ 2 ,
some boards also come with 2 pata ports so 4 in that case,till u have a PATA Optical device also

most of the new mobos support only upto 2 pata/ide devices,but if u want to use more then 2 ide devices then use ide to usb converter.

[ajayashish]

How many IDE device does asus P5K-delux wifi supports...

[hellgate]

^^^ only 2 ide devices.it has only 1 pata port

[ajayashish]

any suggestion of same level board with 2 pata slots

[nish_higher]

no, all others are without wi-fi then.its better to get a new SATA DVD writer

[ajayashish]

bad luck for me... is there no option

[nish_higher]

not a thing above 10k has 2 IDE Slots

i once had P5N E SLi - it had 2 although i'd never recommend that board--big stability issues

Consider my idea of getting a IP 35 PRO without Wi-Fi and get a wifi router or stick with what i told u earlier..none of this will solve ur PATA problem though--the best solution is a SATA writer.

[hellgate]

u can always use ur dvd writer as an external dvd writers by connecting it thru usb.

[ajayashish]

what is the best motherboard without a wifi...

[hellgate]

Abit IP35-Pro or Abit IX38-Quad GT

[nish_higher]

Abit IP35 Pro would be better than IX Quad bcoz of its VFM and becoz u are not an extreme overclocker

[ajayashish]

i liked Abit IP35 Pro ... but any other option with SLI featurre as i want to upgrade to 2 Graphic card in future

[nish_higher]

in that case just 3 boards--XFX 680i LT SLi (very good for u~10k) ,Asus P5N 32E SLi or XFX 680i (both for same price~13k)

[BULLZI]

Why do u only want sli?? u can think of crossfire also. Ati has released the HD3XXX series which is more VFM than NVIDIA cards.
About motherboards, I dont think the mobos mentioned above will support 45 nm proccys from Intel. A bios update may do the trick but please be sure before buying. Then ur motherboard will be future proof.
U may even think of Spider Platform with Phenom processor + X38 chipset + HD3XXX series vga.
It has been proved already that X38/P35 chipset is far better than NVIDIA 780I Sli chipset.

[nish_higher]

dude these boards are Penryn Ready and BIOS update is not a trick! its just an update and nothing more.even X48s require bios updates. + he needs to wrk on 3d so its better that he gets a Q6600

[BULLZI]

Ok the boards are Penryn ready.
Spider platform can increase 30% performance.
Even in X38 chipset boards, there are two TRUE 16X PCI-E 2.0 slots for crossfire. Hence, Crossfire can be a better option than SLI.

[nish_higher]

SPider platform can increase upto 30% performance when comared to a non SPider AMD config

[ajayashish]

i am still confused...

which motherboard to go for...

what is better
Core 2 Duo3.0 GHzE6850-(4MB L2 cache 3.0Ghz 1333MHz)
Core 2 Duo2.66 GHzE8200-(6MB L2 cache 2.66Ghz 1333MHz)
Quad Core Q66002.4 GHzQ6600 - (8MB L2 cache 2.4Ghz 1066MHz
Quad Core Q67002.66GHzQ6700 - (8MB L2 cache 2.4Ghz 1066MHz


and can i install 4X2GB ram in the motherboard
