New Gamin PC [Very tight on budget]

[atish]

Monitor - ?? 7K max.

Motherboard - Biostar GF7050V-M7 2.3K OR Biostar tp35d3-a7 4.4k

CPU- e2160 Will overclock 2K

GFX - Mercry 8600 gt 256 DDR3 3K

Cabinet - Zebronics Antibiotic 2k

HDD - Cheapest

Fan - dunno.

Total 9K + Monitor total 16K

I have :-
RAM I 1GB
Mouse
keyboard
LAN card
Floppy & CD-RW

PS :- I have box packed Asus P5GZ-MX & Xentis cabinet with 220W SMPS

Is this config. ok ?? I have 2-3 weeks time.

[johnjjx]

Mate since u r getin 86gt i wud suggest to go fr biostar p35 mbo at 4.4k. It wil ovrclk d e2160 nicely. Also is d 22inch vital 4 u? Stay with 19inch n get d board. D boards u suggstd wnt ovrclk much. Get zebby bijli cabby fr 1k. Also gamin pc needz 2gb ram

[atish]

noooo 4K is too much.. any other cheaper one ???? Btw can I hook up my PC to a CRT ?? It'll be cheaper .... I will probably upgrade after a year.

[johnjjx]

So 19inch at 9k odd n zebby bijli saves u 4k biostarp35/abitip35 4.4/5.4k+1gb ram .8k+ powersafe400w gold/cm460w 1.5/1.7k wud b great.
Psu plays imp role in ovrclks n safety to components so do considr it.

Sure y nt. Crt is n option. 17inch costs 4k odd

Get abit ip35 n ovrclk e2160 wel abv 3ghz. U can add artic freezer 7 n take it to highr clks wil boost performance like hell. Also on zebby boards u l hit fsb wal. U wnt get beyond 2.5-2.7 or even less

[atish]

I need the temp. display buddy... my room has no AC (I am broke ) & BTW Isn't ZEB PSU good enough ?? & how do I judge which board gives more overclocking ?? & Will supplied fan do for overclocking or I need external heat sink fan ??

Artic Freezer 1.5 k

How bout going for AMD cpu ?? And will overclocking void my warranty incase I damage cpu ??

[johnjjx]

Overclokin does void warrnty bt tht wnt matter jus giv em valid reasons. Check reviews better mosfets,ss caps, makes boards overclk better. Stock cooling is k til 3ghz. U can monitor temp with cpu-z.

Zebby psu r k. Best amng cheapos They work bt hav in many cases blown parts. Betta stay safe. Even for future upgrades like gcrd tht demand higher amps at 12v. Cm460 has 18A+18A i guess. Generic psu cme with 14 or 15A

Dis rig with 86gt wud do with generic psu. Bt i dnt recommend tht.

[atish]

what about Zotac NF610I-C-E - Value ??

[johnjjx]

Dunno. Hasnt enterd market jus nw. Cnt say

[atish]

can you tell me how did you judge the OC capabilties of 7050 btw thanx for the help so far.In dehi if you don't know what you are gonna buy, you will surely be taken for a ride by the shopkeepers.

[johnjjx]

Its d reviews man. Y is net for? Google it. Ip35-e has p35 chipset nv7050 has diff chipset . It al varies frm quality of components. DFI Boards are serious ovrclockers.

Ur welcme. Btw happy buyin.

[atish]

dude I am not able to undeerstand any of the overclockers lang. can you please make an errort to suggest me with a OC compatible mobo+good onbloard audio for 2-2.5k ?

So, far I have come up with Biostar GF7050V-M7.But I don't need the 7050 I am buying a 8600gt.

[johnjjx]

For 2.5k u wnt get overckin features like tht of abit ip35. The biostar is a gud board if u dun wana go beyond 2.8ghz tht mayb d biostar board wil suffice.

For gud onboard audio soundmax ic.
Realtek isnt tht great bt u l find same in most boards.

[hellgate]

That Biostar mobo is the best u can get in that budget.
better get a Biostar TP35D2-A7 or abit IP35-E.spend once u wont regret it.

[atish]

np so this is final I suppose,, I will look for a second-hand LCD 19" or will look in Palika for the Chinese ones.Anyone who can recommend me a good shop in Nehru Place ?? Btw which HDD should I buy ?? & Can I get that Antibiotic without the company made PSU ??

[johnjjx]

Y u want 22inchr? With 86gt u aint gona play at more than 1600x1200 res. U sav 3k with a 19inch lcd n with tht Get a d ip35-e. Its definetely worth. Else go fr biostar p35 fr 4.4k.

[atish]

I can't 15 was my budget with, Monitor, cuz I am having a mobo & cabinet with me.But the cabinet it too ugly.

[johnjjx]

Hmm. Dun waste on chinese lcd's AOC made monitors fr compaq so they r decent. Get zebby bijli 1k+psu as suggstd earlier.
Cm460w.
Hdd seagate or wd or maxtor(seagate)
Maxtor has 3yrs wrrnty,cheaper rest has 5yrs.

Seagate runs hotter better performance, wd runs cool decent performance with door to door wrrnty service.

[atish]

Sry buddy but antibiotic is too gud looking I am building a better looking PC than mavihs (he was my classmate). Will look for Aoc 19" then thanx guyz. Will try to get more cash by selling the usless mobo and cabinet I have.

[johnjjx]

So is ur budget 15k or 21k? M confused nw.
Get
E2160 2.6k
Biostar tp35d3-a7 4.4k
86gt 3k
Zebby bijli 1k
Cm460w 1.7k
250gb wd 2.1k
Choose monitor with rem budgt.

[atish]

Its 15K but I posted here cuz I was exceeding it & wanted it deducted....

Btw this PC is most probably for this year only cuz (if god permits) I will go to a university next year.

[johnjjx]

Gudluk

[atish]

hmm biostar tp35d3-a7 reviews says that It is very unstable, sometime only a section of mobo powers up and its DDR3 ONLY.. Is there any reliable mobo ?? OR is there any good AMD + Mobo combination for 4-5K ??

[johnjjx]

Oops its tp35d2-a7 sorry. Best stable overclkin board is abit ip35-e fr 5.4k. Check reviews.

[atish]

Is it stable ?? I will not OC more than 2.5-2.8 Ghz and will my Asus P5GZ-MX be able to OC ?? itz 800 MHZ fsb.

basically can anyone tell me till what speed will the following let me OC the proccy :-

Asus P5GZ-MX
Biostar 7050V-M7

The 610i may achieve some decent score but u can't expect same results with 945.

And what's wrong in BIOSTAR TP35D2-A7?

Dude I'll have a gfx card.... and with me opting now for a CRT I can go for 2 GIG RAM now anyways intel pwns AMD BTW I can pimp up my windows so beautifully that even Bill Gates would want to add my version as a new version And..... its not the money that only matters, I have always treated my PC's with greatcare wether it be a wipro or ezeebee [the ezeebee was a real sh*t desktops I had in the past]that It gives me its best performance.

costly

stop being jealous of each other or try to pwn each other. Listen for ur budget u can get a Biostar-TP35D2-a7 so u can overclock ur proccy well. 2GB DDR2 667MHz RAM from Kingston Value series.a MSI 8600GT 256MB with a 160gig HDD from Seagate. Get a AOC 19" monitor. this is what i suggest. otherwise its upto u . as much as i have read, u r just confusing urself and others so its better u choose on the basis of what has been posted.

[atish]

There is a rason for going for CRT, I have been on LCD for many years now and I have the problem of jagged edged on low resolution, but on CRT ( I have played in a cyber cafe and mavihs's house Its was clear even at low resolution ).

[mavihs]

hey atishy, u done with vista?????
