Hi im looking for a new mid-range gaming cpu…budget budget is around 40k…Need to play all games at atleast mid-high settings.
is that including monitor??
Yes including monitor…no k/b mouse or speakers
EDIT: looking for only intel no AMD.
Athlon 64 X2 7750+ Black edition: 3.5k or Athlon Phenom II 720 tricore processor : price unknown
Biostar TA790GX mobo: 5.5k
2x2Gb DDR2 800MHz RAM: 2.5k
Dell 19" display: 7k
Western Digital or Seagate 500GB HDD: 3k
sony/samsung dvd writer: 1.1k
Cooler Master CM690 cabinet: 2k
Corsair VX550W SMPS: 5.5k
Palit HD 4850 Sonic: 9k-9.5k
APC 500VA UPS: 2.3k
Intel:
Intel Core2Duo E7300: 5.5k-6k
MSI P43 Neo-F: 5.5k-6k or Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L : 6.5k
E8500 - 9.5k
MSI P45 Neo F - 5k
2GB DDR2 800MHz - 1.1k
Palit GTS250 - 9.5k
ViewSonic 19" - 8k(Forgot the model number)
Powersafe Silver 500W - 1.7k
Zebby Cabinet - 1k
WD 500GB AAKS - 3k
Total comes around 40k…
Is there something i missed out?
what about an intel suggestion?
Look at his last post…He said no AMD config…
^^E8400 is 11k now???
OMG. It used to be 9k earlier.
ah okay. didn’t chech his post. edited my post now.
if you don’t want UPS and writer, go for rajkumar’s config. much faster and spec-for-gaming 
I can just go for a Q8200 for 9k…Is the powersafe UPS safe and reliable?
^^ Sorry… damn typo…
no idea about powersafe, but better be safe with APC 
I don’t think Q8200 would do good in gaming. It’s lot slower than E8400
but I would seriously suggest AMD Phenom II X4 940 black edition. It even competes with Core i7 in some areas.
Well a E8400 will easily beat Q8200 in gaming AFAIK…(Correct me if i am wrong)
If you still want to get a Quad Core then go for Q9400 for 12k…
And instead of Powersafe Silver 500W get a PowerSafe Gold 500W..Reliable one..
Actually this is for my friend anad he has this thing about..I WANT QUAD CORE ONLY…anyways…how is this:
1.Q8200–9k
2.MSI P45 NEO F–5k
3.Transcend 4gb DDR2-800–2.3k
4.Palit GTS250 - 9.5k
5.Powersafe Gold 500W - 2.7k
6.Zebby Cabinet - 1.6k
7.WD 500GB AAKS - 3k
8.Samsung 2033 20"–7.8k
Total ~ 41k
overclocker or not??
Not really
I could bang the desk and say that Phenom II X4 920 and 940 Black Edition will be miles ahead of the above config.
For Intel, check Q9400 that costs around 12k. It has 3times L2 cache and higher clock speed.
modified config:
Phenom II X4 920: 10k-10.5k or Q9400: 12k
Biostar TA790GX mobo: 5.5k or MSI P45 Neo-F: 5k
2x2Gb DDR2 800MHz RAM: 2.5k
Samsung 2033: 7.8k
Western Digital or Seagate 500GB HDD: 3k
Cooler Master CM690 cabinet: 2k
Powersafe Gold 500W - 2.7k
Palit GTS250 : 9k-9.5k
where is the cm690 2k?
And Do you have to flash the biostar mobo first with a different amd procy to make it support P2 920? Friends not really tech savy
EDIT: Q9400 overruns the budget.
^^ oops sorry. it’s Elite 330 cabinet. sorry for the typo.
BIOSTAR cpu support list for ta790gx am2+ board
if I am correct, all the am2+ boards need to have lastest bios to support Phenom II X4 and Phenom II X3 cpu’s.
