[sam]

you ain't got to worry abt your cpu dude
its friggin awesome!! :-O
and make that 4 years if you manage to upgrade your graphics card in the 2nd or 3rd year with a similar priced one
two years from now cards similar to 5970 or 5990 will go for peanuts(read 5-6k)!!

btw i just read somewhere that you ought to keep negative air pressure inside your cabby
so that the heat produced is immediately sucked up outside
something like:-
a very powerful 120mm fan as intake and less powerful 2-3 80mm fans as exhaust!
i may be terribly wrong about this
feel free to correct me

how much does the corsair vs 1333mhz 4gb(2x2gb) cost now?
how much is the difference in its ddr2 version?(afaik there's no performance difference between ddr2 and ddr3)

Expect to pay around ~2.3k for 2GB 1333 MHz DDR3 from Transcend.

DDR2 and DDR3 has enough performance difference - though you need a core i7 with x58 mobo

is it advisable to go for transcend?
afaik their products aren't reliable

[topgear]

^^ why so - never heard anything bad about it though your personal experience may vary.

If you too much worried about this brand then opt for Kingston - the price should be same

[funkysourav]

^^
no actually i've heard transcend rams go bad once in a while like all other brands
but the replacement guarantee not being honored by dealers
and its also listed in "hardware not to buy" thread!

so you understand my concern

afaik there's no difference in performance(ddr2 and ddr3) for amd athlon II or phenom II processors(isn't it?)

[pulsar_swift]

Buddy then why are Phenom II costlier than Athlon II ?

Buddy then why are Phenom II costlier than Athlon II ?

sorry my bad
i meant in between ddr2 and ddr3 with athlon II
or
ddr2 and ddr3 phenom II

i am asking the performance difference keeping the same proccy(either athlon else phenom) but changing the ram(ddr2 and ddr3)

DDR3 vs. DDR2. Is It Worth The Upgrade?

@pulser_swift thanks for the link

[topgear]

@ funkysourav - DDR3 and DDR2 has performance difference even when you use a athlon II as the cpu and also do keep in mind that memory latecncy also plays a major role in memory performance.

Here's some good benchmarks :

AMD Phenom II – DDR2 vs. DDR3 Performance Introduction :: TweakTown USA Edition

DDR3 vs. DDR2 - AnandTech :: Your Source for Hardware Analysis and News

^^nice links

[Gollum]

If you are in South India, then this website would be better for you.

Its got prices of many various computer peripherals.

[topgear]

I know this website from 2006 though I don't frequently check it - the prices on this website seems to be a little bit steep

deltapage has better prices IMO

thanks...

[Faun]

^^SATA anyday...lol

[desai_amogh]

Please tell me a good mobo/procy compbo under 10-11k. AMD preferred.

this will not be used for Gaming at all.

Mostly need for general use, DVD ripping, virtual machines, movie upscaling etc...

Thanx

[sam]

Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H + Athlon II X4 630/635 combo. go for a better mobo if you can include in your budget. this setup will cost you 9.5k. so you can go for 880G based motherboard from MSI/Biostar for ~6k.

[tkin]

Some prices:
Palit GTX460 1GB Sonic=13.5k+4%
Palit GTX460 1GB Sonic Platinum=15k+4%

guys i am getting a 1tb hdd
cant decide on the brand though!!
seagate 1tb
wd green 1tb (black costs 4.6k)
samsung 1tb f3

which one would be best in terms of speed and reliability?
also please post the prices if you have them!

[pulsar_swift]

if its for storage then go with WD green, else you can go for WD black

[funkysourav]

no no i dont intend to spend 4.6k on wd black
isn't wd blue available?
i want cheap storage plus good performance and reliability

[pulsar_swift]

wd green or seagate @ 3.6K

[sam]

^^ samsung good too. just avoid the F2 & F3 Eco Greens.

[topgear]

@ funkysourav - My bet will be on seagate 1 TB 7200.12 series drive.

@ tkin - thanks for the price updates.

[Tenida]

Hey thnx Sam.Shab !!

im now considering AMD Athlon ll X4 635 +

MSI 880GMA-E45 AM3 or Biostar TA880G+ or Gigabyte GA-785GMT-USB3
as i need USB3 support to..

could you please tell me which one would be the best option (i mean value for money)

is MSI better than the other 2???

also suggest a PSU, 2gb ram (1 stick), Cabinate.

total budget (i mean only mobo/procy ram, psu n cabyy) shud not go beyond 16-17k. would be gr8 if its around 15 k !!!

thanx a zillion in advance !!

p.s : im not looking for dvd writer or HDD, monitor, etc (or anything else for that matter) at this moment.

[sam]

^^ MSI is a better option than the Gigabyte. for Biostar not have much idea. if you find it cheaper than MSI, its a good one than. does it comes with USB 3.0? i not so sure about it.

ok or 15-17k:

Proccy: Athlon II X4 630/635 (look for price diff): 4.5-5k
Mobo: MSI 880GMA-E45: below 6k.
Ram: Kingston/Corsair/G.Skill 2Gb DDR3 value: ~2.5k
PSU: FSP Saga II 350W (if not planning for any graphics card or for entry level ones) or FSP Saga II 400W/Gigbabyte 460W: 1.5-2.1k
Cabinet: CM Elite 310 or anything which you like. personal choice: 1.5k or more.

Total: 16k-18.6k.

to get the setup for 15k, change motherboard from MSI to Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4k. its a good one & still far cheaper than other similar motherboards.
