bro,thanka for the help but few things i need to make clear -
I need an I5 for sure because i have my sister in college doing software engineering so she will be getting a laptop next year so till that she will be also using the same desktop and her requeirement is i5...but she would use desktop once in a blue moon ....
And wouldnt just 7750 work instead of 7770? Because i am not pro gamer but i like playing games
So pls suggest accordingly...

[harshilsharma63]

I need an I5 for sure because i have my sister in college doing software engineering so she will be getting a laptop next year so till that she will be also using the same desktop and her requeirement is i5...but she would use desktop once in a blue moon ....

Sure you can get an i5 config, just replace the i3 3220 with an i5 3550 (12400, ~5000 extra over i3) or an i5 3450 (11100, ~4000 extra over i3), as your max. budget is 43k, you can extend it by 2k and get an i5 3550. BTW, what does your sister want to do which an i5 can do and an i3 cannot?

And wouldnt just 7750 work instead of 7770? Because i am not pro gamer but i like playing games

The price difference between 7750 and 7770 is just about 2k, and 7770 is a very good card for that budget, you won't regret.

[Technogeared007]

Actually,she is not really invloved into computers and just knows that basics so there is no point asking her out that why does she need i5..but her teacher said that i5is a requirement...so...
And i cant go even a penny more than 43k buddy.. :\!!

[harshilsharma63]

And i cant go even a penny more than 43k buddy.. :\!!

Okay, well first of all let me tell you that hitman4's config is very good for your budget, so let me try to save some cash here and there in that config;

> go for LG DVD drive, you'll get it for Rs.900 localy, instead of Asus's Rs.1000 saved: Rs.100
> go for any iball / zebronics cabinet available locally instead of nzxt source, you'll get it for about Rs.1000 along with a crappy PSU. You can even return that crappy psu back to the shopkeeper for around Rs.400, saved: Rs.1800 (+400 if you return the psu)
> don't take the Razer mouse pad as you aren't into any serious gaming saved: Rs.500

Total saving: Rs. Rs.2400 (+400 if you return the crappy psu)

At hitman4's config priced 40.5K, and you've saved Rs.2400, and your max badget is 43K, that leaves you with Rs.5400, so now you can easily replace i3 3220 with i5 3550

but her teacher said that i5is a requirement

Trust me, she/he would not even be knowing the difference between i3 and i5 or that there are multiple versions of i5 available

[Technogeared007]

Umm actually you are right with the i3point...but wont it give future guarantee of not being my dektop old?
I3would go back but i5 could atleast stand somewhere?
And trust me i wont upgrade any of my compnent till atleast 3-4years except mouse keyboard....

And to the cabby and pad - i will be buying a cm 310 or 430 cuz i need looks and performance both...so...no local...so no saving ...but i guess i3 could work...i could ask my dad out?
I will let you knw till tomorow from my dad?
Thanks!

Second Option

Intel Core i5 3470 - Rs 11000

Gskill Ripjaws 4GB- Rs 1900

RAM prices have suddenly gone through the roof. VAlue RAMS are also retailing for Rs 1450 onstead of 1150 and so is 1600MHZ Gskill previously Rs 1600 now Rs 1900!!!!

So guys consider real time pricing before suggesting.

[Technogeared007]

Incinerator - 2nd is really good and would fit in my budget...thanks bro!
But wouldnt any company like dell would work better than aoc??
And you gave net for 43.6 and kb mouse,joytick isnt listed..so 1.6 for that also so my buget would exceed...can i degrade something?
Try to understand bro.

[The Incinerator]

Yes you can degrade on certain things and they are........kb, mouse,joytick

Dont compromise on core components for I/O devices.

DELL IPS will cost Rs 9100 that is S2240L if you can get it great otherwise you cant fault the AOC. Always remember DELL is a Glorified PC assembler just like HP etc etc......and is not an OEM like AOC/Samsung and the likes.

[Technogeared007]

On the hard disk part i have very much confusion... Because i have people saying that my wd is corrupt some people saying that my segate is gone bad...
Some say segate is good and some say wd is good...
Which should i take as a 3year gurantee of its success?

Okay,to be very frank i didnt get most of what you said

But okay,as a experienced person you are suggesting me aoc so i would go with that

And can i change my cabinet to some cm as they are coolish sort of...
How about cm 430?

[The Incinerator]

Get A Toshiba if you can, offers 2 years of warranty.
For Cabinet get this.......K380 (for APAC only) - Cooler Master

[Technogeared007]

Toshiba?
Reliable?
Price?

K380- according to me "Awesome ,looks wise as i dont know much bout its specifications)
But what is apaC?
Would it harm any of my rig?
Price on flipkart - 3.2k?
My budget would again exceed?

[The Incinerator]

APAC is Asia Pacific or region specific. Nothing to harm anything.
Get it from Nehru place, should be around Rs 3000.

OK...Toshiba is reliable, Yes. They actually own half of WDs business!!!! And Invented a lot of stuff...in how HDDs work to this day.

[Technogeared007]

Please give exact model no. Of hard disk that you recommend?

Actually please just directly write the whole configuration again...
Please

The final configuration with the mouse keyboard speakers :

Anyone?

[harshilsharma63]

Intel Core i5 3470 - Rs 11000
Gigabyte GA-B75-D3H - Rs 4300
MSI HD7770 Rs.8164
Logitech MK200 combo Rs.750
AOC 21.5 inch LED - I2251FWE Rs.8290
LG Optical drive Rs.1000
G.Skill RipjawX 4 GB 1333 MHz Rs.1600
Corsair cx430v2 Rs.2700
Seagate 1TB - Rs 4300

Total: 42104

That leaves you with low budget for cabinet. If you could arrange Rs.1000 ~ 1500 (you must be having some savings...) then you can get a pretty cabinet.

And, now do not go back to i as you can easily accommodate an i5, don't compromise on core parts.

[Technogeared007]

I was thinking...what if i buy a 2nd gen i5 instead of 3rd gen?
I could save around 1k on that?
And incinerator suggested me 1600mhz ram and u are suggeating 1333?
Which one should i go for?
And please give me suggetion for toshiba hdd with model and price..

Thankyou!

And i now have to buy WIRELESSmouse-keyboard..and my budget can now increases by 500bucks -1k (At Max)

So Final Budget - 44k(at most)
44.5k (if realy really needed)

[The Incinerator]

Dont buy a wireless mouse. They have serious lag.

Toshiba DT01ACA100 - TOSHIBA INTERNAL 1TB 3.5 INCH 7200 RPM DT01ACA100 online shopping india at lowest prices
Theitdepot - Toshiba 1TB 7200RPM SATA Internal Desktop Hard Drive (DT01ACA100)

The Toshiba has 3 YEARS OF WARRANTY which no other HDD manufacturerer provides at the moment. And the performance is mind blowing.

[Technogeared007]

Okay agreed to mouse keyboard now buying corded...but please tell me what if i buy a 2nd i5 ? I could get 1k less?

As right now i am having my net as 45.5k?
If i reduce 1k by i5 i could get it fit in my budget.

Just tell me what is better to degarde?
I5 or monitor from 22" to 20" or hd7770 to hd7750?

Processor?monitor?gpu?

Thanks!

[The Incinerator]

Try and get a cheaper TN panel 22 inch monitor and save there. The monitor I suggested is an IPS panel. Get a cheaper 22 incher.

[Technogeared007]

I dont have any knowledge about monitor except some basic...please cN you tell me whats ips pannel and tn pannel?
Or can you just suggest me?
Please?
And whats the prob degrading i5 to 2nd gen?

[The Incinerator]

Get this as a monitor PHILIPS LED 22"(226V3L) Rs 7200 at Cost to Cost.

3rd Gen i5- ivy-bridge uses 22nm lithography/die
Higher base clock speeds
powerfull built in gpu with hd 4000
overclocking potential is slighly weak

2nd Gen - sandy-bridge uses 32nm lithography/die
Lower base clock speeds
Lesser Built in gpu with hd 3000
overclocking potential is better than ivy

Ivy consumes less power too. And it dosnt make sense buy old stuff when buying a new PC. Does it?

Thanks!

Is this true?
What the guy wrote here?
Isnt it safe to buy products for cost to cost? :O

Someone? Please reply?

[The Incinerator]

Add 4% Vat to those prices from Cost to Cost.

Get the Gigabyte card from SMC Rs 7900 all inclusive,I believe.

[Technogeared007]

Is it safe to purchase from there?
See the image in my last post.

See the image in my last post.

[The Incinerator]

I have no Idea....But SMC is safe and after adding the VAT price will be at par with SMC.

[Technogeared007]

Yesyou are right after adding the vat the net in cost to cost becomes - Rs 44345
And in smc the net comes to be 44050
But are these totals inclusive all taxes? Ie,the final bill i will get?

Is this the final bill which i will get on smc ?
Rs 44050?
Or would i have anymore tax on this too?

[harshilsharma63]

Go for 1600 MHz ram, I mistakenly wrote 1333 MHz, was posting while going for exam, so things got mixed up

[Technogeared007]

please tell me in the rig which incinerator gave me?
will i have to give additional tax on that?
or thats inclusive all taxes?

thankyou!
