Time for New PC. Help with Config

[techking_dinesh]

Hello,
I am planning to buy a New PC
When : As soon as i m satisifed with config
Budget: 50k a little plus minus will do
Use: Hardcore Gaming , Graphics , Normal office work, Multimedia is common and planning animation in future

Well current PC has everything working well but that will be shifted to office so all components will be new and nothing of the old pc will be used

** I was busy with Xams since last 2 months and hence i m out o touch of current updates, Hence i m sorry if i type something silly out here **

What I want:
1. Thinking of nehalem
2. 750-1Tb HD
3. Superb gfx card for hardcore gaming
4. Nice Big LCd monitor ( Webcam not necessary )
5. Minimum 4gb ram ( ddr2/ ddr3 ....... no ideas )
6.Wireless Keyboard Mouse
7. Stylish Cabinet
8. DVD drive with faster speeds. Current one takes too much time to copy a dvd on HD or to burn a DVD

Well if anything else then i shall update in d future

Btw i have a question ( mite be a n00b one )
Are there any monitors that can be used directly as TV too ( not by using TV Tuners ). I mean the Cable TV pin can directly be plugged in the monitor itslef and we cant use it as we want.
If Yes then i would appreciate info on them
If no then sorry for the Question :d

I would even like to know whether it is better to Wall mount the new monitors or to keep them on a computer table ??

Awaiting for ur precious replies

No i7 candy with a good graphics <50k with everything... sorry!

You should go for an AMD based system.

AMD Phenom II 940 BE
Palit 780G
G-Skill 4GB DDR2 800MHz (2x2GB)
Seagate 750gig HDD
LG H55n DVDRW
CM Elite 330 cabby
Corsair VX450W
Palit HD4870 1GB
Logitech Ex110 Wireless kbd/mouse
Dell 198WFP 19" LCD

This MIGHT exceed your budget... not by much though... should be around 54-55k

[Cilus]

Here goes ur best config
AMD Phenom II 940 BE 10400
Biostar TA790GX+128M 5200
Kingstone 4GB DDR2 800MHz (2x2GB) 1900
Seagate 1 TB with 32 MB cache 5200
LG H55n DVDRW 900
Zebronics cabinet with 120mm fan 1000
Colorsit 600 Watt 2000
Zotac GTX 260 Core 216 10300
Microsoft Keyboard/Mouse combo 600
A.O.C 19" LCD 6500

Don't go for any AMD780G chipset based board since they don't support Advance Clock Calibration function (ACC) which is required to overclock ur Phenom II processors. The board I have suggested is having the highest PErformance/Price ratio. It is having plenty of upgrade option like
a. 4 Ram slot with max 16 GB support
b. 6 SATA port
c. 2 PCI Express X16 for Crossfire
d. 2 PCI Express X1
e. 2 PCI
d. radeon HD 3300 with 128 MB DDR3 Dedicated ram (sideport Memory)
e. Solid Capasitor Design
2ndly Colorsit is a new brand. I went through their product review in Net and they are positive.
If u are a AMD lover go for a 4870 1 GB card.

[techking_dinesh]

I m interested in Nehalem
let the budget go till 60k

[Psychosocial]

^You still cant afford Nehalem in 60k with a good graphics card.

See :-
Core i7 920 (cheapest one) - 16k
Intel DX58SO (cheapest i7 mobo) - 15k
3GB DDR3 RAM GSkill - 6.5k
Palit HD4870 1GB - 13k

this much is only 50k!

and if you add more then :-

750gig HDD Seagate - around 4k
LG H55n DVD-RW - 1.3k
Corsair VX550W - 5.5k
CM Elite 330 cabby - 1.9k
Dell 198WFP 19' LCD Monitor - 9.5k
Altec Lansing BXR1121 2.1 - 1.2k
Logitech Gaming G1 kbd/mouse - 1.2k

76k

[techking_dinesh]

ohhh i c
btw is it the correct tym to buy pc or shall i wait ??

Drop the UPS,Speakers,kb/mouse and then can i try to get nehalem ?

If not then atleast quad core plzz

[techking_dinesh]

Ok i will save some money and get back soon !!

[Psychosocial]

Quad is ok.

You can get a Q8200 and MSI P45 Neo-R

or even the previous config I mention is quad but its AMD..

[techking_dinesh]

Can i get a intel i7 as well as as a Intel Quad config ??
Budget: Open / No barrier

[desiibond]

@Dinesh, 50k is not a budget for Nehalem. YOu need to have 70k atleast for a fire-breathing Nehalem cnofig.

Go for Phenom II config or wait for a month or two, save money and get nehalem rig.

[toofan]

No need of running after Nehalem.

The day you will wait, something new would be released, so live in present.

[techking_dinesh]

alrite guyz
tell me the best
1. Nehalem Config
2. Phenom II config
3. Quad config

Intel based processor and mb

[desiibond]

if your budget is 50k, Phenom II config.

[amitash]

^Yep for 50k get a phenom 2 config with a zotac gtx260 core 216...for nehalem i suggest a minimum of 75k...

[ssk_the_gr8]

I'd suggest a phenom 2 - 940 or 955 rig with ati hd 4870 1 gb. If you can extend your budget then hd4890.make sure you get a board with ACC.

[techking_dinesh]

bhaiyo aur bhaiyo

Well if phenom II config then plz giv d config in detail

PC will be used for playing latest games and hardcore animation an gfx

[ssk_the_gr8]

Is your budget still 50k or its increased.

[Psychosocial]

@techking... I think atleast two people posted Phenom II configs.. one was me.. and its quite in 'detail'.. wat more detail do you want ? Please mention that in detail.

[desiibond]

if the budget is 60k:

1) Phenom II X4 940: 12k
2) Gigabyte 790FX board: 9k or Jetway HA 07 Ultra for 6k
3) Corsair XMS2 2x2Gb DDR2 800MHz: 3k
4) Dual Sapphire HD4770 in crossfire mode (14k) or Palit GTX275: 16.5k-17k
5) Corsair VX650 PSU: 7k or VX550W: 5.8k
6) Cooler Master CM690: 4k or Cooler Master Elite 334: 1.8k-2.1k
7) 2 cooler master 120mm fans for the cabinet (top and bottom for extra cooling): 300 bucks each
8) Seagate 1Tb HDD: 5k
9) Samsung 2233SW: 22" : 10.5k

[Cilus]

Guys, one correction here. Now the price of Phenom II 940BE is just 10.4k. So u can save 2K of ur money and invest it for a Good PSU. 4770 in Crossfire is one hell of a monster. It can easily defeat the mighty GTX 280 and can even challenge the GTX 285.
According to me, the Biostar board (TA 790GX+128M) is one of the best boards around. So why spending extra 3-4k for Gigabyte or Jetway. This board also features solid capacitor design.
I'm using this board and able to overclock my PhenomII 940BE, upto 3.7 GHz.
If u want a really highend single GPU card, go for Radeon 4870 1GB at 15k.

[techking_dinesh]

Well i was wondering that dell i7 config with 24 inch lcd and 3gb ddr3 ram is for 75 k

i dont need dat big monitor
i dont need mouse , kb , ups , speakers , woofers

so cant i save a lot of bucks and fit it in my 60k budget ?

[desiibond]

Let's see:

1) core i7 920: 14,700
2) 2x2GB Transcend Ram DDR3 : 3600 or OCZ 3G13332GK -2GB Kit (1GB x 2) for 4k
3) Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4: 15000

Total : 28,300

4) Dual Sapphire HD4770 in Crossfire Mode: 15k or GTX275 for 17.5k-18k
5) Coolermaster Elite 334: 2130
6) Corair CMPSU-550VX: 5.5k
7) Seagate 1Tb HDD: 5k or 500Gb for 3k

Total : 53930

Display: Samsung 2233SW: 10.5k

Grand Total: 60k-65k

Remove that GPU and PSU and get GTX260 and Corsair VX450W and you save 4k-4.5k

[Psychosocial]

^+1

The best you can get <70k and you will also have the i7 candy. Yay!

[techking_dinesh]

Dude Corei7 is good proccy , that means u never say it has no competitions - there is now 2 Processor challenges the Corei7 920 with DDR2 RAM

the 2 processor is AMD PHENOM 2 940 BE & AMD PHENOM 2 955

P2 955 already equals to corei7 920 with its DDR2 RAM , P2 940 Overclock to 3.5Ghz it beats the NEHALEM

DESIBOND rig is gr8 GIGABYTE boards r now good , get that config u ll never get disappointed . feels like having the corei7 rig .

u can get HD 4770 (or) HD 4850 & crossfire it ,, then check the speed of ur SYSTEM

[desiibond]

There is nothing cheap in that config. It's just that you are getting decent amount of RAM and GPU. There won't be any need to change CPU/Mobo/GPU for a long time. If you want to do heavy overclocking later, you may need to change RAM and get performance ram.

You would save around 10k with a Phenom II X4 based config if you change CPU+mobo+RAM and you can put that in getting bigger display and better GPU.

[techking_dinesh]

Thanks a lot
Going to street for price checks in my city ( nashik )
