I need to a computer for games,movies and music.So plz suggest a config for around 1 lakh(+ or - 10k).I won't be overclocking at all.
This is what i have in mind:-
conroe 2.67 E6600 mhz:-(Rs.16,000)
Motherboard:- intel badaxe 975 (also what model no. and how much does it cost ??) or suggest something better.
Hard drive:-2*Seagate 7200.10 - 320 GB ST3320620AS (16MB cache) (Rs 5,400) - 320GB*2 -- Rs.10,800
Optical drive:- LG H10A/N (Rs 2100)
2.1 Speakers :-Altec Lansing MX-5021( Price Rs. 7500) or ATP3 or any other model ??(priority is movies, music and games in that order)
Keyboard and Mouse:- suggest something good that's not expensive. I am a complete noob...so don't suggest any complex mouse that i find hard to operate.
Graphics card:- 7600gt (which one - leadtek or XFX and cost? or anything else?).After a yr. i plan to go for ATI's R600 card.
Tv tuner card:- ATI Theater 550PRO-E (cost and where to get?)
RAM:- plz suggest some decent 2Gb 667 MHz DDR2 dual channel RAM and its cost.
Monitor:- Samsung Syncmaster 997 DF (cost??) or should i go with lcd???I mean i would prefer an lcd but i can't stand even a single dead pixel or ghosting/blurring.Even backlight bleeding bothers me somewhat.Also how bad is picture quality compared to crts?? Also is there a possiblity that, after a while, say two or three yrs. down the line these monitors will develop any new dead pixels or wierd lines or things like that???
If lcd which one??Dell UltraSharp 1707FP,Dell UltraSharp 1907FP,ViewSonic VA1912wb or the viewsonic VX2025wm and how much would they cost ???I would want one which doesn't produce any ghosting during games or HD movies and with atleast 16.7 m colors. I would definitely prefer a widescreen model. I don't mind spending upto 20 k for a 20 inch lcd,but my main concern is if its a 19 or a 20 inch lcd i won't be able to play games at decent settings.I mean i will be using 7600gt for about a yr. and then switch to R600 but after that i won't be upgrading to another card for another 2 yrs.
Cabinet and Power Supply: - This is where i have no idea what to get.Suggest some good cabinet that isn't exorbitantly expensive.Also suggest the no. of fans i would need to install,etc,etc.
Now coming to power supply,plz only suggest a model that would confortably handle this configuration i am planning to purchase. I will be upgrading this PSU when i do get the R600.
So plz suggest me a decent config.There is a problem though--- I am a complete noob when it comes to PCs so do you think i should spend this much or should i be content with say spending 50-70k.I don't wanna spend a bomb for a new pc and end up like techboy--Unhappy and facing all sorts of problems.:tongue: :tongue:
