Hey guys,
Im going to be building a PC for a friend. The following is the config. i intend to go with for now:-
Processor: Intel C2D E7400 2.8ghz =5,500 INR
Motherboard: Gigabyte P31 ES3G =2,900 INR
Cabinet: NZXT Apollo w/ Transparent side panel =2,900 INR
GPU: Palit Radeon HD 4850 =8,000 INR
Memory: Gskill Pi Black DDR2 RAM 800Mhz 2x2GB 4-4-4-12 timings =3,600 INR
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB Single Platter =3,000 INR
PSU/SMPS: Corsair VX450/Tagan TGU37 500 =4,000/3,500 INR
CPU Cooler: Thermaright Ultima 90 =2,000 INR
22X LG DVD-RW drive @ 1.1K
----------------------------
The prices have been purposely kept a bit on the higher side to allow for a buffer. Budget for the Rig is about 25k, can be stretched to about 30k, but only 25k worth of components will be bought initially. Budget is excluding display/monitor.
Pretty much decided on most of the build, just a bit confused about the following:-
1)Mobo: People suggest going for a P31 based mobo over G31(the GA G31M ES2L was, my initial choice). Aside from the support for faster memory, i really don't see much point. The GA G31M ES2L particularly seems to be loaded with features, and from what i've heared, OC's quite well. On the other hand, fewer people have the P31 board mentioned above. So i was wondering if there is any real advantage in going with the P31.
If there are other suggestions for a board under 4k, it's most welcome.
2)CPU: Pretty much set on the E7400, but i may go with the E5200 depending on the situation/how much money is available when i go to buy the stuff. I think either is a good choice, any comments?
3)Suggestions on the rest of the build are also welcome. Any general tips you guys might have would be sweet.
