hi everyone,
i am new to this site.
plz help me with the configuration, i want to buy a new pc in 1-2 weeks.
my budget is 25-30K.
i want a pentium pc, good graphic card with the budget(heared a lot about 6600) , 80 gb or 160 gb hdd.
i am not buying the monitor now, i have a lg15 inch, would buy a new one latter.
plz help me with the configure, give the component name, manufacture name and the price and also keep the budget below 30k, dont include monitor in it, for saving on budget. might also not take the keyboard/mouse also.
^^Why are people so addicted to microwave ovens . Amar current P4 chips are horrible… thats why everyone suggests AMD cos they are way better bang for the buck. They are slow, hot and eat lots of power.
Dude go for AMD. And dont worry about Resale. If incase u wanna sell it sell to someone who knows AMD. I have been buying AMD since 1999, Duron, when it used to come with All India Warrant card straight from AMD Inc. It has 3DNow and also latest proccy’s support SSE3.
Go for AMD. Lower heating and total VFM. Also you get Dual Channel plus Amazing performance. P4 is good but when you have better then go for better option. Also Asrock has SATA2 so 300mb/s is very good.
And dont go by my sig. i am slowly building a new AMD rig.
Specs and prices of a buddy’s recently acquired rig!!
Prices in Mumbai!!
But be prepared to take off your clothes to bargain!!
Thats a joke, some people who know this will understand , not for you !!
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ - 5.7k, maybe lower if u r lucky, say 5.5k
Asus A8N-VM motherboard - 4k
Transcend with samsung UCCC RAM - 4k
LG 4167b DVD Writer - 2.4k
Seagate 80 GB SATA HDD -2.4k
LG non flat 17" monitor - 5k, slightly lower actually
Microsoft/Logitech Optical Mouse+Keyboard - 775/-
VIP ATX cabinet with 400W PSU - 2.2k
Total= 26.5 approx!!
so you can put another 1-1.5k for 17" flat monitor!!
And 1-1.2k for 160GB SATA HDD!
And since u not getting monitor now, u can easily fit in an PCIe 6600(nonGT) (or squeeze in a PCIe 6600GT 128/256)!!
and i am ashamed to mention this but me got a BIG 6600GT 128MB going real cheap!!
Also chk links within foll link for more replies to similar requirements!!
i have finalised on 2 configure, which one should i go for, and any changes please suggest.
config 1
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
Asus A8N 32 SLI Deluxe (Socket 939)
Seagate 80GB SATA
XFX GeForce 6600 GT 128 MB DDR3 PCI-E
RAM 512 MB
config 2
Intel P4 630HT 3.0 Ghz
Intel 945G DDR2+Sata 2 945G
1 GB DDR2 400 Ram Transcend
XFX GeForce 6600 GT 128 MB DDR3 PCI-E
80 Gb HDD Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SATA
also can anyone suggest a good dealer at lamington to get all this stuff, and does anyone know a good dealer in thane for buying a cabinet, as not want to carry it all the way from lamington(octrie probs also). will be going on this saturday for buying.
If you are putting only one video card, save money and get an asus A8N-E. Spend the extra money on a 7600GT instead of a 6600GT. If you wanna go the intel way, get a pentium D 805 instead of a P4 640.

… AMD are fast, cool and eat less power
