suggest config for friend..

[sagargv]

hello,
my friend wants to buy a pc . his budget is not exactly fixed . he wants it for C , solid edge / CAD and engg stuff and absolutely no games . Plz suggest a config.

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Without Budget, it makes difficult to decide

[sagargv]

i know .its his first comp buy ( he didnt even know how much it might cost ) . he hates games . thats all he says .

[nileshgr]

Just tell the approx. rate like 20k or 30k. <20k is impossible for a branded one. If he wants in 10k or <10k, he will have to go for 2nd hand comps.

[sagargv]

he has max budget of 40k.

[nileshgr]

C2D 15k
HDD 80GB abt.... 5k
Mobo abt..... 5k
BOX 3k (cheap also available)
Keyb .5k
Rat .5k
GPU 3k
SPU-- i don't know estimating 2.5k
Win (pirated) 0.05k

Total: 34.55k

Huh. 15K for CPU when you spend 3K for mobo. That would give you crappy performance and a 40GB hard disk?

why price is this

80GB for 5K
u can get 160GB PATA for 2500

use a good mobo atleas of 8K if proc is 15K

Box 3K use simple one 1.5K

knowing cad/cam softs.. mm..
u need high ram.. as much as u can.. coz all those complexities in ur design really sucks every MB of ur ram..1GB is ok.. 2GB is good
19+ TFT wide screen is recomended
n gfx card.. atleast a 7600GS if poss..
m tellin frm ma personal experience of cad softs..

[Liggy]

Yeah umm if he is using CAD, Will definatley need a Gfx card, I have ACAD 2007 and I have a ATI 256 MB card in there, which is either minimum or recommended, and I have a 3GHz proc with 1GB RAM and running the 3D models, well it chugs and is kind of choppy at times, I even try to disable as many non essential startup/services items as well. The most important thing CAD needs is a vid card So add that into your price tag, I have been told to buy a 512MB vid card, but They ain't that cheap here....
