Adept
Guys .. this is what i finalised but the budget goes to 49600.
Is there any of reducing it to 45000 .

Neo4 platinum 10200
Amd64 3000 7400
6600 GT PCI-E 11200
Monitor flat 7000
Transcend 512 MB 3600
Seagate 120GB SATA 3700
CD - RW 1300
logi Mouse + KB 800
Psu +cabinet (400W) 2000
UPS 1000VA 2200
Total 49400

1. Iam thinking of buying 80GB sata or 120gb pata which would save 1000/- . shuld i go for sata option or pata keeping in mind i'll increase the storage in two months.
2.Iam thinking of goin for the 17" non flat that would save 1500-1700 more.
3.has the RAM prices gone more again .. ??? i could see in the threads that it was 1800 but now ??
4. is the UPS right ?? and should i go for 1000VA or any suggestions ??
 
Dont compromise on things you wont be able to upgrade like the moniter.. As of now skip the UPS and buy it later.... Cause i really dont think you have an option to downgrade from there... And BTW welcome to TE... Glad you made it here...
 
Should i go for 754 socs ..

Are the 754 mobos with pci-e like K8N4-E delux or K8Neo3 available in INDIA ?

if i go for 754 with agp then , there is thrice degradation like
1. dual channel
2. loosing pci-e gfx slot
3. all the 754 sockets have sata with 150GBps not the 300GBps.

other option is going for 939 ati radeon chipset mobo but they have only inbuilt gfx ones .

and dont i need UPS esp. in NOIDA the power shutdown is frequent ... will it not
affect the system ??
 
you can delay the purchase but i don think you should compromise to save 5K.
Specially monitor is big no-no. Flat monitor is Flat monitor. I would never go for non FLAT monitor, its huge diference for me.

HDD- well its up to you and how much storage you need.
Going for PATA wont affect overall performance much other than the cable system. SATA has smaller cables and hence less obstruction to air flow inside the case.

There aint to much of difference now in AGP and PCI express system. It wont save you more than 1.5K.

Also please tell me you are going for 256x2 DDR RAM. 512X1 wont be able to do dualchannel on that board. Ideally you should have gone for 512x2=1GB but 256x2 will do for now.Add more later.

Also yes, i talked to my dealer and he confirmed that transcend was down to 2700-2800 for very short period of time but its again at 3100-3300 here in mumbai.
 
I would strictly advise agaisnt Asrock board... cause the boards are cheap allright but arent as great... And dont bother about UPS that much... I am in Noida too and you can live without it... If it hurts you go get it later...

And yes MSI Neo2 platinum is a good board... Well let me give you a little briefing about some chipsets and thier specs along with Indian Avaiaibility...

VIA KT880PRO Chipset Supports 939/AGP/Sata/Pata/Dual channel Best Available board ASUS A8V Dlx Rev 2.0

Nforce3Ultra Chipset Supports 939/AGP/Sata/Pata/Dual channe/Hardware Firewall (Correct me on the firewal guys if i am mistaken) MSI Neo 2 Platinum ILSR

Nforce4Ultra Chipset Supports 939/PCIe/SATA/PATA/Dual Channel/Hardware Firewall MSI Neo4Diamond

Nforce4SLI Chipset Supports 939/2 x PCIe/SATA/PATA/Dual Channel/Hardware Firewall ASUS A8N SLI

VIA KT890PRO Chipset Supports 939/PCIe/Sata/Pata/Dual channel Best Available board ASUS A8V - E

But is it available... I have tried to post wahtsoever is available here especially here in Delhi... If it is available in bombay than how much is it for...
 
yes switch the K8N Neo4-F is available for 9400/- .I enquired That in SMC NP.

OH no... i thought the board which iam talking about is MSI neo4 platinum nforce4 ultra chipset which is for 10200. ...

I find the price difference very strange indeed. Since internationally the K8N Neo4-F is nearly half the price of

neo4 platinum nforce4.
 
I enquired the CI guys now ,

they say the neoplatinum ( i think they are saying the neo2 platinum ) has been discontinued ..

The neo4 platinum nforce4 ultra is - 10200
K8N Neo4-F is 9400/-
K8N Neo4-FI is not present ASAIK
K8N diamond is around 16500 - 17000/-
 
Sata drives which can take advantage of existing 150 Mbps bandwidth have not been developed yet, so for 300 Mbps it is a long way off.
@ senfunn, since you wanted to reduce the price by 4.5K i merely pointed out that the baby brother of K8 neo4 platinum is avialable too. which is based on the plain nf4 chipset.
performance wise there is not much difference between the two.

The platinum just has more extra "features" like 2 onboard lans , firewire ports etc...and i guess a few extra o/c settings in the bios.
price wise internationally it is nearly half of platinum m/b. so i had assumed that similar pricing structure would be followed here too. hence when you posted those prices i was surprised.
international price of neo4 platinum is around $ 145 usd. and the K8N Neo4-F is priced around $ 82 usd.

Its around 9.5K Plus.... Darky has one and he is selling it... Do ask him... Or look in the market section of the forum...
 
Is neo4 platinum not comparable ?? for additional 500/- i prefer it .
Any flaws as such do kindly tell me .. ... i'll order the board tom. with my system ??

I enquired that neo2 platinum has been stopped and CI doesnt have it ...

Since i wont upgrade for long ... say 1- 11/2 years i prefer this board .

even though its 500/- extra i dont want to compromise on the mobo .... any suggestions .

AND WHY ISNT INTERNATIONAL COST reflect in INDIA ??
 
Actually what all the guys are trying to say is that the Neo4 Platinum is merely a board with few extra features added but the basics of the board remains the same as in the Neo4-F. In other words Neo4 Platinum = Neo4-F + Few extra features.

In light of that they suggested the Neo4-F hoping the price would be significantly lower. Unfortunately that doesnt seem to be the case, and would save you only 800 bucks.
As to why international prices arent reflected here can only be guessed. I would assume PCI-Express boards and to an extent Socket 939 boards arent in much demand and hence prices tend to still be at the higher level
