Change Seagate 32gb HDD to Western Digital AAKS 500GB
XFX 9600 GT to MSI 9600GT
Transcend to Corsair
Zebronics to Cooler MAster ELite which is cheaper (1500) , better , and has good airflow management
Rest is fine ..though if u can buy a cooler, it would be better..

[mastermunj]

thanks nish..

i was also thinking for corsair or g-skill RAM but then to fit things in budget.. i stuck to transcend... however, now am again thinking to go for G-Skill..

CM elite does not attract me much... i find antibiotic better with transparant side panel and 3 fans..

is MSI 9600GT better than XFX 9600GT??

and Western Digital makes better HDD than Seagate?

[nish_higher]

western digital = better support and more reliable , considering seagate's overall failures..

it seems XFX has gone poor these days and quality of components is not so good..temps are high and some even beyond the normal limit..

MSI / Asus 9600GT is far better

Antibiotic looks good , but Q6600 needs proper airflow too
i'd advice a Cooler MAster cabby..

i was talking abt Corsair Value rams..cost would be the same.

MSI/ASUS/Gigabyte/Palit >>>>>>>>> XFX

Western Digital > Seagate

Transcent 800Mhz ram is better than corsair value 667. Transcent 800 can easily hit 950 Mhz at stock timings.

buy a 8800GT than a 9600GT

How about G-Skill F2-6400CL5D 800MHhz.. it comes with heat sink... will it not be good OC Ram??

[dOm1naTOr]

its better if u can afford

[mastermunj]

i believe it will cost me extra 600 bucks... no worries.. that i will manage... no compromise in core system..

@paranj

In that case, go for the MSI/ASUS/Gigabyte/Palit cards. Stay away from XFX. You never know which card has fan/heating problem.

Assembled PC and its running so smooth..

But do not know why Graphics Card pop up comes and says that it is not receiving proper power supply and hence will run on low performance settings..

[nish_higher]

did u connect the gfx card power connector ?

[mastermunj]

nope.. i just connected it on PCi-E slot..

could not figure out how and where to connect ..

any link for this connection procedure?

the EVGA guys did not even bother to put proper connection manual with package

[nish_higher]

thats why..u need to connect that 6 pin cable of ur power supply in the card.

[mastermunj]

hey ya... now i got it... thanks a ton bro...

will do it today evening after reaching home and post the updates tomorrow...

[mastermunj]

connected power supply.. it works very smooth... crysis is awesome fun to play on it..

so am gonna use cheat codes and complete crysis at delta difficulty level

congrats. wats the setting u play at? and ya cheating is necessary in Crysis. Its damn hard

[dOm1naTOr]

If u have enuf patience then u can beat Crysis at delta easily. Just the run nd shoot wont work gr8, thats all.
I finished Crysis Delta w/o using ny weapons. Only pulled out sniper when they start snipping me. It was like a hide n seek
but had to use weapons against those aliens.

[mastermunj]
