Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[Pathik]

@jimit y dont u get a p35 mobo??? Get the asus p5k3 deluxe wifi ap or if u want a intel one then get the dp35dp or the dg33tl ... and yea even d975xbx2 is compatible wit c2q.. also all the above boards ll work wit the q6700 perfectly but q6700 is not at all vfm... instead get the q6600 if u desperately want a quad... even a c2d e6850 wd do..

@tech genius get the asus p5n e sli then

[Choto Cheeta]

CPU BOx with 50k !!!!

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 or Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ Rs. 12900/- + TAX
ASUS P5N32-E SLi or P5KC @ Rs. 11500/- + TAX
4 GB DDR-II 800 MHz Transcent / Kingstone @ Rs. 8800/- + TAX
250 GB SATA-II 16mb Buffer @ Rs. 2700/- + TAX
Pinnacle or WinFAST TV tuner kit for Vista @ Rs. 2100/- + TAX
Cabinet with Zebronics 500 watts @ Rs. 2200/- + TAX
Microsoft Desktop combo @ Rs. 750/- + TAX
Creative 5.1 @ Rs. 3600/- + TAX
APC 650 VA UPS @ Rs. 2500/- + TAX

Total Rs. 48932 incl % VAT in Kolkata

Well Quad Cores are not that good Overclocker and when u overclock u need to have a Great pair of RAMs so, Kingstone or Transcend are not the ones to have... so, I suggest stick with Q6600 of 1066 FSB Procy...

Please keep in mind that when I was compliling I had to complie the full system...

So tell me, to add a Cooler Master 600 eXtreme one would need to cut cost !!! Tell me where u feel one can cut cost ??

please just dont suggest one Part rather suggest full config with exact street price and incl TAX fit that in the budget of the user !!!!

as when some one suggest single parts new users will get confuse, its really not about a Single Part its about the full system and managing that within that Budget what one would have !!!

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

^^ hmm ok !!! actually if that works out great !! then i am very happy !! coz even i dont want to spend too much on SMPS.........was just wondering that's all....!!

if he wants all that we would then better extend budget by 2k !! to 52k !!
so that later he can add mid end or high gfx card....!! right ??

If u read his post u would find he did wrote he dont need any card...

if he wants all that we would then better extend budget by 2k !! to 52k !!

well in that case I would say wouldnt it be better buying Croisar Performance DDR-II ?? or rather may be that P5K eXtreme with onboard 2GB DDR-III

there is no end of increasing !!! some would feel lets increase here I would feel lets increase there !!! so, its endless

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

ya right it will be endless if u go on extending resulting to a alienware area 51 ALX !!!
he wont over clock or do any modding i guess.....he is a Doctor !!
( am jst supposing !! might be he knows much more then me...cant say )

instead he might want to over clock human brains for better performance !! lolzz

[Pathik]

@sagargv try to Get Corsair XMS modules..

[sagargv]

thanks ,
too costly . 8000 for 1gb ram ?????(source theitwares)
thinking of 667mhz 1gb corsair for 2300.

[Pathik]

^^ if u dont intend to oc much then get transcend 2*1gb ddr2 667 for 3.6k

[dr_jimit]

Thanks , Thanks a lot to all of you,

Now i am reaching somewhat to a - what i would call a SemiFinal Listwith some question,



Intel C2Q Q6700

Intel DP35DP mobo [ any comments/ disadvantages? They both fully supports each other.]

4GB [ 1 GB x 4 ] DDR2 800MHz Kingston RAM [Rs. 2500 x 4 Mumbai price OK?]

250 GB x 2 SATA HDD [ please tell me if i would have to ask and pay dealer for SATA 2 and 16MB seperately or all current drives are same ? And I want 2 Drives for Video Capturing =1 dedicated, any coments?]

LiteOn Lightscribe DL DVD writer [ Availability and price of lightscribe media, what do u comment? or go for Plain 20x model?]

Zebronics Bijli (3fans)with zebronics 500Watts PSU [ I calculated power for this system = 369 watts for 1 with 8600 GPU,LGA 775, 2 HDD,1 Optical. so will 500watts b good enough right?even for future] [pl tell me the approx price of these two]

Microsoft wireless Laser Desktop 6000 [ Rs. 4950 ]


Stereo Speakers "on-monitor" with Dell Ultrasharp 24"

Not decided about GFX card, [ but u suggest 3 choice for this system] first i wanna complete this list.



In general,

I want this Pc for my cousin for Photo and video editing,
I want intel CPU+mobo only, [ thanks pathiks for suggesting intel MOBO number]
I NEVER NEVER want to overclock, and i want a Powerful and steady system
so i dont want ASUS mobo / intel extreme series cpu

Dont need TV tuner card, UPS currently


One stupid like question in end,
" Does quad core q6700 @ 2.66GHz means that there are 4 2.66GHz cpu in one = 4 x 2.66=10.66 GHz ? or 2.66GHz total speed divided by 4 cores?"
Pl dont get Angry with this question,


And for " Human Brain Overclocking " ,
The simple way is to utilize your Brain's current processing speed fully,
My 3 ways

1. Take a Very good deep and adequate sleep daily
2. Have a good cup of Tea or Coffee
3. Always Be Happy,

because, Happiness is like a fan , that cools down your overclocked brain..... [or underutilized brain which heats on normal use, hehehe]
It lets you work at full potential.


I have given my Semifinal list, with some question, Please suggest and comment, help me again to finalise it,then i will next decide GFX card for Dell monitor.

Thank you All,
This Forum is Great

U cant fit such within 50k mate... and really Intel Boards are not the one to get when buying high end systems... Kick those out

Quite honestly, please run the price in calculator, what u are planing wont fit in to the Budget of 50k, even u put the spk and TV tuner card, UPS, out as u seems to happy with crappy Stereo spks...

seriouslly u cant fit them under ur budget

I boubt that Intel DP35DP is available in Mumbai... anyway, intel boards are really not recomended... !!!

[dr_jimit]

Intel® Desktop Board DG33TL is available on "deltapage"

Intel DG33U 33G,S,L, 16x,1333 MHz MicroATX Rs. 5500 only
[ this has a free Intel GMA 3100, HDMI too hehe ]

http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/g33/

wouldn't that be enough for non overclockers ?

[Choto Cheeta]

even if u dont overclock, Combination of XFX 650i Ultra 5000/- + TAX with 8400GS 2800/- + TAX though its more than Intel X3100 but really worth that money...

Tell me whats the Final Config u want to by, give us one pictre product by product by mentioning its prices... I really doubt what u have in ur mind would be hard to fit in to ur budget !!!

[dr_jimit]

Intel C2Q Q6700
Intel DP33U mobo Rs.20k for both ?


4GB [ 1 GB x 4 ] DDR2 800MHz Kingston RAM Rs.2500 * 4
250 GB x 2 SATA HDD Rs.3000*2
LiteOn Lightscribe DL DVD writer Rs. 1950
Zebronics Bijli (3 fans)with zebronics 500Watts PSU Rs. ????
Microsoft wireless Laser Desktop 6000 [ Rs. 4950 ] Rs. 4950

[cynosure]

^ Dont go for Q6700, instead go for Q6600 and overclock it. It can take a 200MHz overclock even on stock cooler. There is no point of wasting so much of money on 200MHz (Q6700's price is almost double of Q6600). Instead go for a better gfx or more storage or more powerful PSU.

THANKS, BUT

In Lami. Rd Mumbai,

Q6700 + 975XBX2 = Rs. 22500 Inc. tax

and if I go for motherboard D33U its around Rs. 4000 less then 975, [ + 1333MHz FSB + GMA 3100 free ]

And isn't Zebronics 500W wtih Bijli Cabinet suffient for a 8800 and Q6700 ?

[Ethan_Hunt]

^You mean the default PSU which comes with the cabinet? I wouldn't bet on it & by 8800 I asume you mean the GTS 320MB version is it? If yes then don't fall for the stock PSU but go in for either a Coolermaster or Powersafe 600W PSU which will cost you atleast 3.4k & will be able to handle your current rig.

[morpheusv6]

I am putting up a system for mid to high level gaming. The system needs to be future proof as I won't be upgrading for another 2 years(other than the GPU, which I am not buying now and the RAM which I can upgrade later).
Please offer your suggestions.
1. Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
2. Motherboard: Asus P5N32-E SLi / XFX 680i LT SLi (Can't decide)
3. RAM: Transccend 800 Mhz DDR2 2x 1 GB sticks
4. Mouse: Logitech G7
5. Monitor: Viewsonic 2245wm LCD monitor
6. Cabinet: Zebronics Antibiotic (need quiet operation, any alternatives? (<Rs.4000))
7. Speakers (Need 2.1 system as I don't have space for 5.1 <12K)
8. HDD: Seagate 250 GB x 2 in RAID0
9. GPU: Will buy it from abroad next month. 8800 GTX x 2 in SLi (currently having 7600 GT)
10. Optical drive: Lite On DVD Writer (don't need blue ray or hd dvd)
11. CPU cooler: Cooler master Ultra Hyper 48
12. SMPS: Cooler Master Extreme Power 600W(needs to support 2x 8800 GTX)
13. TV Tuner card (not decided). Need internal PCI card which works with Vista and best performance(i.e. picture, sound and tuning ability)(<5K)
14. OS: Vista Home premium 64 bit
15. Security Software: Kaspersky Internet security

Budget: Rs. 1 lac (excluding software)
Also please suggest a good MFD (fax not required) with seperate ink catridges.(<10K)

Thanks for the suggestions.

[sagargv]

u cud have used this thread . but neway , have a read . .
http://thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63874

since ur budget is quite gud , y dont u consider c2q 's or those c2 extreme models . . .

[Pathik]

Get 4 Gb ram..
7. Get a altec lancing atp3 2.1 ..2.3k..

[sagargv]

and yes , choose corsair instead of transcend . take those xms modules..

[dOm1naTOr]

Get a quality mouse pad from everglide, steel or razer.

GPU: just wait for the GF9 series. Till then use that 7600GT(max 3 months).

nvidia says they wud be almost 3 ties faster than current generation cards.

optical drive: go for sony sata DVDRW.

Mouse: Go for G5 or Razer Copperhead. Or wait a bit and take a look at the about to be released Razer's new Boomslang(not the old one).

Speaker: Altec Lansing MX 5021 THX 2.1. Its the best 2.1 under 10k nd is prices at: 6k

TV tuner: Leadtek Vista Ready and HD ready Tv tuners are availablr. It has even HDMI in and has digital processing.

Cabinet: I doubt whether the 8800GTX wu fit in antibiotic. Ull have hard time installing the HDDs. Ull have to go for lil bigger cabbys like Perfomance TX, Stacker etc. Super Lanboy is a gud one for 5k but i doubt if this too is small for 8800GTX.

CM hyper 6 or 7 is more efficient than 48

PSU: Zebronics 730W Diamond : 7~8k
it has modular cables and as stable as corsair nd antec. Looks gr8 also.
