i stay in mumbai
 
Go for the 3000+ venice core A64 and overclock it. Way cheaper and better than buying a 3500+ or 3200+. The MSI board is great if not for the lack of voltage options. Also if you wanna game, get a CRT not an LCD. A 19" CRT will cost slightly more than a 15" entry level LCD but will own the LCD at games. The only LCDs i'll recommend are the lcds with 8bit panels which are only found on 17" or higher. All samsung n series lcds (510n,710n,910n) are DSub(VGA) based and dont have a DVI causing loss in sharpness. They have a 6bit TN panel and cannot display all 16mil colors simultaneously. Also about the video card, look for the vanilla X800 for around 14K if you can afford that much. Its way faster than a 6600GT.
 
vanilla x800....is it an ati card...sorry dude no idea abt cards others than nvidia(never had any graphic card ever on my comp)........and how r this cards???6800gt/and 6800 ultra???also...will the 3000+series will b good enough for 3+years....or 3500+???andmy present budget for moniter is 11k.....i want lcd......how much 17" one cost and which r good...i can swap the budget for monitor with amd proc....also plz provide prices for current config..next time....

Yeah its an ATI card the x800 ! The 6800GT agp is 17k and 22k for pcie ! 17" LCDs cost upwards of 15k. Good ones are arnd 20k i think.

@Chaos: Is the vanilla x800 available in india ? dont think so ........

i will settle with 6600gt now......dont want to shelve mor than 10k on gfx...since already on lcd i m getting on back leg....is leadtek easily available here??????i know xfxis good...but i guess leadtek gainward r better
 
I won't say this again why go with Leadtek and XFX when their daddy BFG is available?
Leadtek cards aren't that good ,I dont know why people here rate them so highly.Check out the latest xbitlabs review about the Leadtek PCI-E 6600Gts where they had almost no overcloking potential at all.(Yeah it was a SLI kit but that doesn't entirely justify the horrible oc results.)
 
taker.......i m frm mumbai...and no way i guess bfg is available here(or in india)......if it does....xfx will have to shut its shutters........
 
^^ yup as undertaker mentioned above, big and bfg come from the same oem... global connections.

Edit: LOL ok :D edited as u wish.... but its just too tempting :p
 
this topic might go messy i guess............i go one by one product...since gfx card is discussed most till now here.......first help me decide that.......which company.....and budget atmost 10-12k......then v will decide mobo along with monitor(which is the most confusing thing 4 me presently)
 
Big cards are same as BFG - me too saw some pics of Big and BFG if u remove the
sticker from the heatsink of both cards and the shuffle both cards u wont be able to
make out which one is BIG and which is BFG.

Dont remember the link which had these pics.

Also i too suggest u to go for a 3000+ which can be easily overclocked to 3500+
So why waste money when u can get same preformance from 3000+

So here are my recommendations
AMD Athlon 3000+ Venice Core Socket 939 - Rs 8.3-8.5K
Identify Veince Core like this
The CPU will have this printed on it.
First Line on CPU:- ADA3000DAA4BP

OCing ability info
Second line on CPU :- LBBLE 05## XXXX
Where 05 is 2005 Year
## can be 17,18,19,20 [These are weeks of manufacturing]
[if u are getting a 17 week it can overclock to like 2.5 easily but many people have take it to 2.8Ghz]
XXXX - can be anything.

Best is :- 0517 EPAW

The 18th & 19th week venice dont oc well but it can reach 2.4Ghz but not like the 17th week which reaches 2.8Ghz.

Mnemonic Systems , Borivali has that lucky 0517 EPAW AMD 3000+ which oc's gr8
grab it asap.[as soon as possible] Darky just got it.
Ask Funky Monkey for complete address of Mnemonic systems he knows the
place better or ask darky as he got his latest 3000+ from there.

ASUS A8N-E [NForce 4 Ultra Chipset]Rs 8800
No Firewire support on this mobo.
Rashi & Prime ABGB Mumbai.

Big 6600GT PCI-E X16 Rs10K approx - 3Yrs Warranty
Plug n Play , Lamington Road.

I too suggest u to go for a good 17' or 19' CRT

17' Samsung SyncMaster 793MB or 793DF
19' Samsung SyncMaster 997DF [correct the model number if its wrong but DF for sure]
 
@blade I inquired for the same prices couple of weeks back in delhi but i was quoted around 24K odd for the leadtek AGP cards... Are you sure prices are correct cause the AGP price seems too low to me... I bought two darn XFX (No offence meant I also own a XFX 6800 GT)... If i would have known i would have gone in for leadtek...

@edit I bought PCI-E for 22.5K XFX 6800 GT... But still i cannot beleive that Leadtek costs 17K for AGP...
