Hi EveryOne,
Today I went to Nehru Place for a Market Overview to decide my Next Rig
My requirements were:
1. A high end MB
1.a) Asus P5Q Pro for 9.1K at IntelSide :no: and
1.b) MSI 790 GX Platinum for 9.2K :hap2: or Gigabyte same Chipset 9K :no: at AMD side
2. Procy has to be more than DualCore and less than 10K
2.a) Q6600 for 9.4K :no: or Q8200 for 10K :no: (I also saw that Q8200 is more easily available than Q6600)
2.b) AMD gives me more choices but my current fav was 8750 Black Edition which was no where to be found. Choices where
8450 4.8 :hap2:
9550 7.0K :hap2:
9850 Black Edition 8.7 K :hap2:
Now My exp and Some misc Prices
1. Kingston PD 4 GB Prices at CE 390,370,355 :S. OK so u are also confused how come 3 prices at the same shop. Right ??. These prices ere taken from 3 different people at the interval of 5 Min.
2. MSI 9600 GT 1GB memory for ........... 5K :hap2: :hap2: :hap2: at CE. I asked him twice and he said yes that is what I am telling u about.
3. SMC guy started smiling when I asked him about AMD procs and Chipset
4. Palit 4850 with non reference HS for 10K at Advantage solutions(Some new shop but good prices for some stuff. In the same line as CE, SMC etc). This shop also gave me 8450 for 4.8 :hap2: whereas CE had it for 5.2 :no:.
5. CE had the MSI Platinum MB for 9.2 and Advantage had Gigabyte MB for 9K
6. Transcend 2GB 800 1250
I must tell u one more thing. I asked the most descent looking guy at CE for 8750. He told me 8450 is there but not 8750. I explained him its another tri-core CPU with 2.4 Ghz speed and 8450 is the one with 2.1. He listened to me patiently amidst all the crowd around us. On this He called up some where and asked for it. On keeping the receiver down He came up with a descent answer: He told me that 8750's price is same as 9550 and 9550 has another core so its is better than triple core. Thats why no one is stalking 8750. and 9550 is for 7K.
Now it make some sense why no one has 8750.
Overall I am still confused:S :S :huh:
Why I am not able to decide is, My current Budget is 25K - 30K and I don't want to settle below ATI 4850. I want to invest in a descent IGP for now and later on I will buy 4850 and a descent HS for the CPU. That will give me some room for now to invest in food High End stuff. Intel does not gives me this option thats why................
P.S I will update these prices in NP thread as well
