  • Core i-3 530 - $125 :(
  • Only the Pentium G is $87. But has no HT :@
  • We can expect intel motherboards in the 5k range and pentium to sell at 4.5k and the core i-3 530@6-6.5k.
  • They will thrash the PhenomII 550 IMO.
  • But still even the cheapest AMD DDRIII mobo MSI sells for 4.5k and the PhenomII 550BE is 5k. So if the Pentium+intel mobo beats it then its a very good alternative for the mid range setup.
  • Intel plans to release pentium E6600 processor(3.06GHz) for $84 and the E6500 will drop to $74. So the LGA-775 sockets still have life left in them to battle the AMD in the 3-4k($50-80) DDRII market.
@OP- sorry for diverting the thread. But i hope you got answers for your queries.

@ Karthi007, Anubis: Thanks for the suggestions. Few points.

* I do not mind paying 7-8k extra, as this is pretty much a one time purchase for the next few years.

* However, I am unable to see if I will get extra value out of the higher processor. I could probably do with even lower powered CPUs, but I guess the config Karthi007 suggested (esp with the DDR3) would be more future proof and provide a good upgrade path.

* When is the i3-350 cpu + mobo going to be available in India ? Do not want to wait more than a couple of weeks max, unless it is providing a lot of improvements at a similar price ?

* I am not finding any alternative to the MSI DDR3 mobo you mentioned. Are there any better alternatives for around 1-1.5k extra, or should I just stick with MSI ?
 
@Anubis - Not challenging you or anything. Just trying to establish facts.

You state that the i5 combo has the advantage of lower idle power consumption. But the combo needs the gfx card. Now what about the power consumed by the gfx card?

Will the total power of the CPU+Mobo+gfx if required still tilt the power balance in favour of Intel?
 
You can get the Gigabyte MA785GMT-US2H~5.5-6k/Gigabyte MA785GMT-UD2H~5.8-6k.
Else the ASUS M4A785TD-V-EVO board - 6.5k

If you haven't bought any yet , then i can make an i5 rig @ 35k

Intel Core i5 750 - 9.5k

Intel DP55WB - 5.5k

Transcend Ram 2gb 1333mhz - 2.3k

Gigabyte 460w - 2.2k

Logitech Kb+mouse combo - .7k

Samsung/LG Dvd Writer - 1k

ATI 4350 - 2k

Seagate 500GB 7200.12 series - 2.3k

Zebronics Bijli - 1.1k

Monitor: Benq G2200 HD - 8k

Total - 35.5k

Intel Core i5 750 beats Phenom II 965 and consumes less power than Phenom II 965

Don't worry ab8 Intel mobo.

Since you won't overclock , Intel DP55WB will be fine for you bro

I know this can't be a download rig , but its a good Intel alternative

I recommended ATI 4350 which is better than ATI 4200HD

I won't say ATI 4350 doesn't consume any power . ATI 4350 does consume power but also gives better fps than ATI 4200

AMD's 785G with Radeon HD 4200 Graphics: Performance and Features Explored

That should make things a little clearer.

Yeah i know i still haven't answered the fact about power consumption .

I am thinking over it
 
Got the Config posted by Karthi007 from SP road today (Athlon II X4 620 / ASUS 785 EVO Mobo / 24" BenQ G2420). Building it out now.

Thanks a lot to multiple people in various threads, including Karthi, Anubis for the suggestions, and Gowtham, Anant for making the bargaining @ SP Rd much easier (they were with me @ SP Rd all the time, and spent much more time on my rig than on their purchasing)! TE Rocks ! :)

Will update the price in the SP rd thread later.
 
so i have planned to configure an all-in-one rig with the following specifications
under the budget of 35-37 k
cpu: athelon 2 x4 620
motherboard: msi 770c45/msi 790fx-gd70 (which one wud be better)
ram: kingston 4 gb ddr3
gpu:msi hd4670 1gb ddr3
monitor: dell 18.5"
dvd writer: hp sata 24*oem
hard disk:sea gate sata 500 gb
mouse+keyboard:logitech combo kit
cabinet+power supply:cooler master elite 330 + 500 cooler master
please suggest whether this config is fine or not or if any improvements can be done then please reply
