I am thinking of buying a mid range gaming rig, well my budget is around 35-50K, one more thing to mention that dont include monitor price.
I was thinking of getting a Q6600 or E8400 and along with that ATI 4850 HD but you can suggest if there is any better alternative with max performance/price ratio … I am confused if i should go for core2Quad or core2Duo cuz my requirement is gaming and some programming and stuff. well did I sadi watching HD videos yeah thats on the list too [ ]. I heard that now Nvidia launched a better and cheaper card which can outrun ATI in performence/price ratio.
Thats cool config
But Lets susbstract somthings
I dont need a monitor nor speakers so here goes 20 k
and then i think i could wait for the custom heatsink so here goes more 2k
so now the damge is reduced to nearly 41k
so now i am thinking of getting 4870(is it any better i mean performace/cost)
and i think i need at least 500W PSU can you guys suggest a good one
and well better HDD with good response time and cache.
4 GB DDR 2 800 Transcend P Series 2.2k or Corsaid XMS2 DDR 2 800 4 Gb kit 2.5k or Gskill PI 4Gb 3k
HDD depending on your storage needs.. Or get WD 640 AAKS** 3.6k**
CM 690 Cabinate 4k
Corsair HX 620 or VX 450 depending on your powerneed ,** ~6k , 3.8k** respectively
ATI Radeon HD 4850 10k
Monitor : Benq HD E2200 the one mentioned above . 12k
Keyboard and Mouse on your choice..
Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer 2k
Samsung 22X DVD Rw** 1.1 k**
All in all if you consider pricing of AMD X4 920 to be 10k then this rig would be around 52000 Rs ..
and I think the Dragon platform would be much better as AMD PII 920 can OC much better and is quite a better proccy in comparison to Q6600// TechEnclave
Thanks you guys for the feedback, darkstar can you tell me where can i buy Phenom II 920 or 940 and well suggest me a good motherboard as u said the dragon infrastructure is gr8 for OC so i want to know if there are any 3rd party vendors who make the chipset and is that platform available here in india cuz i think i couldn’t get these stuff from a normal PC retailer by the way i m living in bangalore so any suggestion where can i get all this stuff.
well guys i think i did finalize my config so neew your views on it
**Processor **
AMD Phenom X4 II 920 (~12k…or maybe cheaper )
(well the pro here is that they are providing a good heat sink which looks like 50$ heat sink, but at the same time i m worried about reliability and bugs :(()
Mothorboard
Biostar , Gigabyte 790FX + 750 South Bridge (8-10 k )
GPU
Palit HD 4850 Sonic Edition (~12 k )
Cabinet
CM 690 Cabbie ( 4200 )
RAM
corsair Dominator 1066 , cas 5-5-5-15 (~6k)
HDD
WD 640 AAKS (~4k)
PSU
corsair VX 450 (~3.5 maybe more)
It Sums UP 52 K but i think it could be near about 45k
so what do u guys think is that config good i think i need some suggestion on MOBO. any recommendation guys.
well i called some dealers here and they were saying that PX4II 920 will be available in Feb so i m waiting for that.
I got a question, I read in reviews that most of the boards of 790 series have some bios issues and they don’t recognize PII is it true. Do I need to switch back to good old reliable config i.e. Intel Q series waiting for Ur feedback guys.
