Please help me to choose a good config

[Cool G5]

Go for Palit it's good.

Again my friend asked me which is better the E8400(Dual Core) or Q6600(Quad core)?
Even I am unaware of this. Which proccy will perform better of the above?

[m-jeri]

for a Radeon.. sapphire is one of the best known brands..

buy one u get.... dont bother abt the brand name too much...

[imgame2]

yup! I've already decided about 4850.

Actually I've posted differently. I should've written like a informational message not a decision-making message.
Anyway,
shall I go for MSI brand? or Palit/XpertVision is okay?
I've read good reviews of MSI brand in many sites and they're telling MSI better than Palit or Sapphire.

go for PALIT ..comes with a new BIOS and runs cool at 45-49 deg idle and doesn't face any noise Xpertvision is same as PALIT since just another division of PALIT.....sapphire cards still comes with older bios and face problems ..... u won't find MSI easily and will be very costly if u find one .....PALIT HD4850 @9.5k will give u the same performance that a MSI 4850 gives ..cos they are all reference cards ...just make sure u buy the latest manufactured card ....to avoid any problem with heating and noise ...

Go for Palit it's good.

for gaming and other multimedia stuff E8400 performs much better than Q6600 ....reason is not many application to effectively use the 4 cores ....so go for E8400!

i can post some links as well if u like to get convinced ....

I am getting MSI 4850 @ 10.5k (incl. TAX) in Kolkata. But extra 1K isn't worth I guess. Better I stick with Palit as they are cooler than the other models.

Thanks.
I've already decided my config (look few posts back)... right now I'm confused about the GFX card's brand.
For a good card I can spend more.
For HDD, WD is better than Seagate ATM.

two models comes for MSI V803 and V151...

V803 - is just the reference model ,if u are getting this its not worth it,go for palit ...

V151-its the quad pipe cooling solution,if u are getting this 10.5k ...its much better since u can overclock much better with this card...since it has a much better cooling solution than any of the HD4850 reference cards...then go for it.

if u are unsure go for palit u will not regret !

[arijit_2404]

^^
I will keep that in my mind when buying the card.

[toofan]

Go for Palit HD 4850 its cheaper and runs cool then others. But look for the card manufactured after 31 July.

At first, Thanks to everybody in this forum.
I've finally bought the machine - thanks to all for your input.

Here's the configuration I've bought last Saturday(Kolkata price):

• MSI P45Neo (6000)
• Intel C2D E8400 (7400)
• Corsair DDR2 4GB RAM (6400)
• Corsair TX650W PSU (6300) - didn't get VX series
• Palit HD4850 - AUGUST import (9900)

Total: 35800/- + VAT

But this is a gem!

For the first time, I'm playing every games on my SAMSUNG 943NWX in high settings and at 1440x900 resolution

I can't express how happy I am.

Palit HD4850 has a dual-slot cooler.

At idle (ATI CCC GPU activity 0%) = 44-46 C
At load (ATI CCC GPU activity 60-80%) = 50-52 C

Intel C2D is also cool at ~35C and never crosses that. RAM sticks also has heatsinks but never measured temp.

I am running this machine for more than 16 hrs at stretch, still this low temp - pretty impressive!

Thanks to all who made this awesome configuration a success.

^^^congos bro, do post up pics if possible.

congrates buddy !! do tell us about ur mobo performance if u wish to overclock !!....even otherwise

[arijit_2404]

Let me try it out for few days. If I need to squeeze more juice then I'll need some expert's help for over clocking.

Also, I've skipped 3rd-party cooler for the time being. Stock cooler giving me CPU temp around 31-35 C based on load. I'll buy superior cooler for over clock few days later.

well i agree i don't think u will need to overclock it for sometime now it can do everything .....u wish it to do !

right now i don't think there is any need for a CPU or any other custom cooling solution !

Hi all, I am just joined the community. After reading many topics I must say this is a great community for Indian pc users.

Let's come to the point. I am going to upgrade my pc which is going to be a gaming pc. I have 19" samsung 943NWX and I would like to play latest games at least in 1280x1024.

I am only going to buy CPU + mobo + RAM + GFX + PSU. I will reuse my other existing components like, HDD, DVD-RW, cabinet etc.
After reading few topics I have gathered some information. I have made two configurations given below:

Intel based:
Abit IP35E + C2D E8400 + 4GB DDR2 800mhz + Radeon4850 + CoolerMaster 600W PSU
This will cost around 30K

AMD based:
MSI K9A2 CF + Phenom 9550 + 4GB DDR2 800mhz + Radeon4850 + CoolerMaster 600W PSU
This will cost me around 32K

Now I am bit confused which one to pick. Please help me out to choose a configuration.
I would like to say that the config should be future proof for next 4 yrs. at least. I am also open to other suggestions or modifications.

By the way, I've never used any Intel. Previously I used AMD-k6/2, Athlon xp 2000+ and now Athlon X2 3600+. I choose this intel combo based on various topics.

Advantage of intel config is that Intel now performs better than AMD in gaming, but don't know how much gain I can get. Advantage of amd config is that it is xFire supported combo so in future i can plug another HD4850 or may be sell this 4850 and plug two 4850X2 depending upon my savings.

I have read that many knowledgable gurus are present here. Please help me to choose the best of these two.
PS: If you need other information I'll be happy to share.

EDIT: I have just learned, AMD is going to release a new chipset 790GX. What is the extra advantages over 790FX? Is it worth the wait or shall I go ahead with my upgrade?

check out the phenom 9550 its great for gaming only ok ,,, trust me i am using the same------- hd 4850 is great mind ,,, then what brand for gfx are u going to buy

Hi all,

After much research, I've decided on this configuration. I included Intel for the first time, because I've read many good reviews for latest processors.

Intel:
Intel E8400 processor
ASUS P5Q-Pro motherboard

AMD:
ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe motherboard
AMD Phenom 9750 processor

Common for both setup:
OCZ 4GB 1066Mhz DDR2 RAM
WesternDigital 500GB HDD
Coolermaster 650W ExtremePower PSU
ThermalRight Ultra120A Cooling solution

GFX:
Either Sapphire 4850 or Sapphire 4870 - (confused which one to buy and price)

I am from Kolkata. Can anybody tell me about the street prices of these components.
Also comment about overall configuration. Any about short comings or future upgradablity. That will be helpful for me to change some config.

Note: I have decided to reuse 19" Samsung 943WX, DVD-RW, Keyb, Mouse, 4.1 Speaker from existing system.

hey man dont confuse ur self compare 9550 & 9750 only speed varies all things are equal u can over clock 9550 to 2.8ghz ok ,,, then motherboard has less features so change some thing or wait for mobo ok ,, then palit new model cooler is better for cooling than sapphire ok ... chech pictures for gfx card now

[imgame2]

@demonkingfromhell ..i can assure u next time u post in big fonts u are going to get banned ...

[comp@ddict]

BIG FONTS!!!


Suks!!


BTW-He's rite on the 9550 to 2.8GHz, and no jhanjat for a 125TDP mobo too. GO for it, u'll benefit from quad-cores I promise

[arijit_2404]

@demonkingfromhell

Are you racing for increasing post count? It seems so. Because you just post and keep posting. No matter what other people read or write! such a poor fella.

Because if you did read other posts you didn't dare to post again in topic.
As I already posted that I bought my machine...(dated 15-09-2008, 09:14 AM) how could you again post regarding my choices? It doesn't matter anymore.

It seems you are trying to increase your post count ... nothing else. you know what these people are popularly known as? ... *******

I hope you just remember this in future!
