What about the prices in delhi? and also the good shop to buy these in NEHRU PLACE

[shaunak]

I second desiibond's config.

AMD will give much better bang for the buck.

If you can extend your budget a bit, try to get a phenom x4 9650 [circa 6K].

I have always used AMD and made PCs for my friends on AMD config so I can suggest on that
so here i go..
1. Processor.. X2 5000+ or 7750 BE is good if price diff is not much you can buy that.
incase you can adjust the budget to Quadcore that will be better. first check other components then decide if you get Quadcore at good rate..from some dealer

2. Corsair? ... if you intend to overclock then only buy High End Corsair.
Corsair value ram, Kingston or Transcend. Buy which one is cheap.
Buy Transcend or Kingston 800fsb 4GB (4 x 1GB/ 2 x 2GB dual channel)
yes you read it right buy 4GBs bcoz you can use the x64 OS more effectively.
if you think the price is on the rise and might come down then buy 2GB now and 2GB latter.

3. Motherboard .. Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP (or S24P) post the link of the two motherboards specification i will suggest which one is better of the two.

4. Take 500GB sata..
if he is using is gong to use it for movies and gaming... then I suggest put two HDD in Raid - 0 and check out the performance. the data transfer rate at twice .. way better.

5. Optical drive.. any liteon-sony-benq all works same. buy 20x sata which one is cheaper. incase u want lightscribe.. and want to fool friends buy that.

6. Monitor ur choice.. i say
ASUS 18.5" --- 6.1k / Viewsonic 19" --- 6.5k / DELL 19" --- 7k {dont know the exact price.}

7. Speakers:- I purchased Philips . for 1300 yesterday for cousin.. model no dont remember it had 30watts output but I say buy 5.1 atleast ... and feel the music and gaming.. even the low end costs less than 4k now.

8. KB+Mouse-: Logitech Internet Pro or any Microsoft wired combo which one looks good to you.. unless you go for wireless.

9. Cabinet-: STRONGLY RECOMMEND - COOLER MASTER ellite-334
Buy it from SMC .. they have it.. its beautiful.

10. UPS-: Powersafe or Microtek or APC .. BUY one with 2 batteries

11. Pen drive: Kingston 4GB mini .. that fits in wallet

12. place.. already mentioned above. in wazirpur - Crux Computronix but price varies from nehru place.

[vaibhav_jain]

@rollcage thanks bro.

[rollcage]

hey
Dude,

what about the Motherboard... give me options,
in 780g there are few options.. one is for 4k other is for 5k so check wether u can save 1k or so there.

2. for cabinet dont buy the cheap ones.. try elite 334 and for smps if u can buy vx450 buy that otherwise take atleast the coolermaster combo with cabinet that might cost a bit less. but still buy a good smps.

3. check out the prices and let us know the current rates

When are you going to NP?

[vaibhav_jain]

Link for motherboards-:
Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2
http://www.gigabyte.in/Products/Moth...ProductID=2813

Abit A-N78HD
http://http://www.abit.com.tw/page/e...E=Socket%20AM2

@rollcage these are the links which i fanally choose tell me which one is better. By the way i like Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2. it is cheap and also have same features like abit.

[rollcage]

1. none of these.. 1st one is 740g, and second one i dont know kaisa hoga, i just prefer Gigabyte>MSI>Asus .. so anyother a wont recommend.
What is wrong about GA-MA78GM-S2H (this got everything you need) tell me price. this board has got vga/dvi/hdmi, and gfx got directx -10 support.

2. You didnt tell us the price you getting??? I need to know the latest prices man. then its better to advise.

[ssk_the_gr8]

Even I second desiibond's config.

If you can extend your budget a bit, try to get a phenom x4 or phenom x3. Maybe 9550 or 9650

[desiibond]

^^7750BE beats 9550 in gaming and normal use. thanks to the better fab and core

[vaibhav_jain]

Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP costs approximately 4800/= where as gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 costs only 3100/=

[ssk_the_gr8]

^^ but quadcore is future proof. It depends if he upgrades again soon then he should go for dual core and if he plans to use it for a long time then quad core it should be. And i think that 7750 and 9650 use the same 65 nm k10 core.

GA-MA74GM-S2 support a max of DDR2 800 and is very very weak in features. Also I think it has AM2 socket with support for AM2+. This means that HT will be downgraded to HT1.0 (bandwidth cutdown from 5200Mt/s to 2000Mt/s)

[rollcage]

I just dont understand why there are so many boards from gigabyte in 780g chipset ?




@vaibhav_jain .. listen man take good board and you better save money somewhere else. like .. what you can do is .. dont buy the speakers now.. you can buy that anytime. but if you regret buying a board later you cant change it.
also, cabinet and smps dont take cheapo ones..

[vaibhav_jain]

finally i choose abit A-N78HD MB to purchase i am going to nehru place in two three days.

[vaibhav_jain]

@rollcage can you give me the shop no. of SMC in nehruplace?

DONT DO IT!

Abit has shutdown. You may have warranty service issues in the future.

[vaibhav_jain]

i contacted tirupati enterprises they are saying that they are distributors of abit and also they are providing the services of abit products. Please notify me the truth behind this!!!!!!!

[desiibond]

@Vaibhav, that board looks a bit cheat (build)

and you never know when Tirupati enterprises could pull the plug as it is a dying brand.

Better stick to Gigabyte/ASUS and Biostar/Jetway for budget.

[desiibond]

correction: Cheap

[rollcage]

dont buy that.... dont buy any motherboard thats not from Gigabyte/msi/asus every1 saying that but you still buying it are you dumb

[vaibhav_jain]

ok i will not buy that abit board but tell me which gigabyte board i have to choose for the processor "AMD Athlon X2 7750+ black edition" and also my only budget is 4000 maximum for the motherboard.
Thanks in advance to all for helping me so much.

[desiibond]

make the budget at 4.5k and you will get Gigabyte 780G motherboard (don't remember the model number though) or get Biostar 780G for some 4k bucks.

[vaibhav_jain]

now i am considering "gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP" motheroard. please tell me is it fine for my processor.

[Ankit]

Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP is absolutely fine.

Make sure you get the same model number. Like if you get GA-MA78GM-S2H instaed of GA-MA78GM-S2HP, Onboard DTS will be missing, which I think is not a big issue if there is a good price drop. All this onboard DTS and Dolby digital are just software features in these Motherboards..

And if you can get MA-78GPM-DS2H for around 5K, go for it as it has 128mb DDR3 sideport memory and all solid capacitor design.
