    TE PC Buying Guide T1 2013

    No clue, I noticed a spike in RAM prices online, have to visit Nehru Place and call a verdict whether prices have gone up or this is some scam.

    41-50k PC Upgrade CPU,Mobo,RAM,PSU,GPU,Cabinet Only

    Not a guarantee, most cheaper variants of the Z77 boards forsake SLi support. No it does not support SLi and I am highly sceptic of ASRock's build quality.

    41-50k PC Upgrade CPU,Mobo,RAM,PSU,GPU,Cabinet Only

    Okay in that case look at this build -- Core i5 3570k Intel DH77-KC ~6500/- [rest everything same as earlier] As much as the new card does and a sufficiently powerful UPS to keep the system ticking in-case of an outage. Please note if you go for the nVidia graphic card, you cannot use...

    @kb.tendulkar if you want to over-clock the CPU you will need to invest in a Z77 chipset based motherboard -- Intel Core i5 3570k ~14500/- GIGABYTE Z77X-UD3H ~13000/- G.Skill RIPJAWS-X 4GB x2 1600MHz ~3200/- GIGABYTE GTX660 2GB ~15000/- or Sapphire HD7870 2GB ~17500/- Corsair TX v2650W...

    CPU/Mobo AMD PileDriver Discussion thread

    Sorry mate, will get on it. Profuse apologies for leaving you hanging Sire. But now am back so down to business. You have two options and neither look very good from AMD's standpoint. Although the latest iteration of the Pile-driver architecture has improved upon the Bull-dozer fiasco last...

    CPU/Mobo CPU+ Mobo+ RAM Upgrade

    @gouriin I also support Jakob on this point, the system suggested by him is more powerful than the AMD A10 equivalent, if you want more multi-core juice I would suggest you go for a Core i5 3330 ~9500/-. Here is the AMD A10-5800K going head to head against the Core i3 and Core i5 -- Core i3...

    TE PC Buying Guide T1 2013

    @axis.meister, I had requested @Dark Star for the prices of the motherboards / components because most e-retailers do not show the Trinity components in stock. If you could provide me appropriate links, I would be grateful. TIA.

    I bought that RAM RIPJAWS-X from flipkart recently and sadly it does not function with my Phenom II quad-core system. Stick to Corsair Vengeance for the same reason. Cheers!

    31-40k Basic RIG

    SMPS = PSU. As you are not over-clocking stick to the Corsair Vengeance sticks. Already given you the cabinets that are the best for your budget and needs (in my opinion) -- The Seasonic S12II 520W is the cheapest and most reliable SMPS you can ask for your system. Yes they are...

    31-40k Basic RIG

    I doubt you will get it local. You can look at the following cabinets instead -- Cooler Master eLite 430 / 431 Cooler Master eLite 311 Plus BitFenix Outlaw APAC edition (enquire @Computer Empire, Nehru Place) Yes Cost2Cost's PDF is regularly updated but unfortunately most members have...

    31-40k Basic RIG

    Seasonic S12II 520W is what I would suggest. Where are you sourcing the Corsair Carbide 300R from? For an optical drive, go for -- HP / ASUS (boxed) optical drive ~1100/-. Hope this helps, Cheerio!

    Storage Solutions 120GB SSD - Is Corsair Neutron GTX good ?

    That the Crucial M4 is a more reliable drive because of the components used and age of the device so most issues have been ironed out with firmware patches. Hope this is easier to comprehend. Cheers!

    Storage Solutions 120GB SSD - Is Corsair Neutron GTX good ?

    onlyssd is owned by Prime ABGB (its proprietor). I agree in performance with the new LAMD controller is phenomenal, problem is whether it is reliable OR no. That is the big question mark and where the older and not so fast Marvell controller based Crucial M4 gains its cookies.

    Storage Solutions 120GB SSD - Is Corsair Neutron GTX good ?

    More reliable than most SSD's. In the numbers department Corsair is better but I have no idea how much more reliable.

    Review Antec BP300P - first impressions

    What gauge cable is used, most are not sleeved but that is to be expected at this price-point. What CAP's are used on the PRIMARY and the SECONDARY? How is the soldering on the PCB? You should read up before doing SMPS 'reviews' -- Why 99% of Power Supply Reviews Are Wrong | Hardware...

    0-20k AMD Bases with OnBoard graphic Card motherBoard

    About the Core i3 3220, you can go with it but keeping the future in mind I had put forth the cheapest Core i5 for you to consider. The GIGABYTE motherboard has a better I / O panel and better connectivity options for extra card(s). Any reason to go with MSi? Hope this helps, Cheerio!
