PC Budget 45k

Hello Friends i am a VFX ARTIST ,
So I need to Work On Maya Max 3d Softwares And Premier, fusion , after effect 2d software, To make effects.

I am planning to buy a new pc as my laptop is now unable to handel the softwares.

I am planning to buy
Quad 9400
Asus P5q - e
4 gb ram
Gforce 9800gt.

but i am still confused :huh: if its the right hardware to buy , plz guide me .As u guys are pro.

I have Hardisk so i dont need that .
I need to buy
Processor
Motherboard
RAm
Graphic Card
UPS
Smps
And Monitor.

IN 45k . Plz guide me .

Transcend 8GB (4x2GB) 800MHz DDR2 RAM - 4.4k

Palit HD 4770 512MB - 6.5k

Corsair VX450 - 3.8k

BenQ T2200HD - 9.5k~

I dont know much about this , but i think for that kind of usage its better to buy a Quadro Card instead of the one you selected , Leadtek NVIDIA Quadro NVS285 costs ~ 8k , rest of it is okay , you may want to cut down on the proccy to Q8200 and instead go for 8 GB of RAM

Well i dont want to go for Quadro because i am a 3d software user but also a geek gamer so i decided g fore as i can do both stuff . And if there is any good mother board specialy for multimedia stuff plz do guide me to that too .
I am intrested in spending more money in motherboard and processor and Graphic card because , after buying it i wont be able to upgrade motherboard and processor graphic card as its costly , but i can upgrade ram later on .

Here is some suggestion:

Processor=Quad Core Q9550 2.83 GHz (12MB L2 cache 2.83Ghz 1333MHz FSB) = Rs.12800/-

MOBO=Asus P5Q-E = Rs.10800/-

RAM = Transend 2x2GB = Rs.2700/-

Graphic Card = XFX 9800GT 512MB DDR3 =Rs.10500/-

SMPS = Corsair 450W = Rs.3900/-

LCD = Dell 17’’ =Rs.6550/-

Total = Rs.47250/-

For onboard GFX , intel has poor offerings , you’ll have to go the AMD route
A 790GX based Mobo + 720 BE proccy (which can be unlocked into a quad core) will cost you 13k

Where is Q9550 for 12.8k ? :confused: :open_mouth:

Or you meant Q9400

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

ok so u need a cpu that supports multiple applications and tons of software at the same time ,but are u sure o the cpu
Processor>>>>Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 =12500
cpu cooler>>>sunbeam core contact freezer(CCF)120mm =2500
Motherboard>>Gigabyte GA-EP45- UD3R =8500 or bellow
RAm>>>>>>>>>>4gb>>>cosair =2650
Graphic Card>palit 4850 or a comming up 4770 for 3D =8000
UPS>>>>>>>>>>i dont know cause i dont use 1 =1500
Smps>>>>>>>>>cosair 450 /tagan 500 /cooler master real 460w=3.5 to 3.8k
And Monitor.>samsung 20 inch =7000


total=======================================================46200 :blush: :blush:

^ omg

why he should buy Q6600 @ 12.5k, new Q9400 is 12.5k too

why he need crossfire enabled high end P45 mobo

why 4850 when 4770 performs same and 1.5k cheaper

ok fine but the mobo is not having 2 pcie x16 slots so how can it have crossfire??

+1
Proccy and motherboard shoudn’t be too hard to decide, this is the essential stuff :slight_smile:

hi frinds thanks a lot for a great advice .
i have bought palit radeon 4870 sonic 1 gb
motherboard gigabyte ep45-ud3r
ram 2 gb
cpu q9400

total it cost me 37k from computer empire delhi

now i need a smps and monitor. plz advice me i have 10 k to spend on it .
my friends tell me i need smps atleast of 600 wts :huh:

I think even a Vx450 will be enough to power the rig . Should have got GTX 260 instead of 4870 .. also ram is less considering the amount you spent on other components .

Nice purchase. Just get another stick of 2 GB RAM asap.You need loads of RAM for stuff like AE especially.

Assuming you already have a cabby , Monitor + SMPS will overshoot the 10k a bit if you want a good monitor.If on strict budget, compromise on the monitor if needed rather than the SMPS.

A VX450 should do as mentioned above.As for the monitor. what size do you need???

i am planning for 19th inch hd monitor

I am selling my rig.. as for multimedia there is no need for quad

contact me at mib2_007@yahoo.co.in and let us discuss :slight_smile:

Thank god u dint buy the 4770 or 4850 as other ppl suggested. u wud have got Pawned in 3D work :rofl: as both these cards cannot be softmodded into their FireGL / FirePro equivalents.

**

Now u shud soft-mod ur ATI Radeon HD4870 1GB into ATI FirePro V8700 1GB n i guarantee u a 50-70% performance boost!!! **


Im sorry to say but IMO uve wasted ur cash on mobo and now ur budget of 10k for the RAM, SMPS, MOnitor, Cabinet is Veryyyyy Low…

In 3D work, Bigger the screen → Much better for u…

Anyways i wud strongly suggest:

Corsair VX450 - 4k + Samsung 2233SW - 10k + 2GB Ram Stick - 1.3k + Cooler Master Elite 334-2k

= 17.3k

but if u think ur budget cannot be extended:

Corsair CX400 - 3.1k + Samsung 2033SW - 7k + 2GB Ram - 1.3k + Generic Big Cabinet w/o SMPS - .6k

= 12k

Yes the CX400 is enuf:

QX9650 (135W Processor, urs is 65W) + 4870 1GB Consumes less than 250W DC at PEAK LOAD

GeForce GTX 260 reloaded vs. the Radeon HD 4870 1GB - The Tech Report - Page 11

{The CX400 can handle 350W DC Load 24x7 w/o any noise/ripples in output. n can handle 400W DC Load easily too. (google more reviews if u doubt this)

}

congratz

do post in show-off and share damages too :slight_smile:

enjoi ur rig to the fullest !

Dude don’t go for intel core 2 quad as they will all be replaced by core i5 and p55 motherboard. Best vfm for upgrade would be phenom 2.

Motherboard: Biostar TA790GXB - 4.5k or Asus m3a78em or Asus m4a78 pro(7k)
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955BE - 13.5k
Cooling: OCZ Vendetta 2 - 2.5k
RAM: Corsair Xms2 5-5-5-15 800 mhz 2x2gb - 2.9k
GPU: Ati Radeon HD 4770 or 4870 - 7k/11k(around)
HDD: Western Digital 500GB SATAII - 3k
Cabinet: CoolerMaster 590 - 3.8k
SMPS: Corsair VX 450W - 3.8k
Optical Drive: L.G. GH22NS30 SATA/Samsung SH-S22F SATA - 1.1k

Monitor: Dell E1909w - 7k
Keyboard and Mouse: any both within a total of .65k

Note : This is best upgrad path . If budget exceed cut speakers to 1.1k
