Hi.
I am going to buy a new desktop soon. I have built 2 configs.
AMD
Intel
Processor AMD Phenom X6 1090T INR 13,335.00 Processor Intel Core i7 950 INR 14,100.00
Motherboard MSI 890GXM-G65 INR 6,700.00 Motherboard Gigabyte X58A-UD3R INR 11,400.00
RAM Corsair 8GB-DDR3-1333MHz INR 7,200.00 RAM Corsair 6GB-DDR3-1333MHz INR 5,400.00
Graphic Card Sapphire ATI Radeon 5770 INR 8,000.00 Graphic Card Sapphire ATI Radeon 5770 INR 8,000.00
HDD Western Digital 500GB Blue INR 1,670.00 HDD Western Digital 500GB Blue INR 1,670.00
SMPS Seasonic 620W S12II 80+ INR 5,400.00 SMPS Seasonic 620W S12II 80+ INR 5,400.00
ODD SONY DVD Writer INR 1,000.00 ODD SONY DVD Writer INR 1,000.00
Keyboard & Mouse LOGITECH KIT MX3200 INR 2,500.00 Keyboard & Mouse LOGITECH KIT MX3200 INR 2,500.00
Monitor BenQ 24" G2420HD INR 10,800.00 Monitor BenQ 21.5 in. G2220HD INR 7,285.00
Cabinet Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1 INR 4,300.00 Cabinet Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1 INR 4,300.00
Speakers Altec Lansing VS2621 (2.1) INR 1,525.00 Speakers Altec Lansing VS2621 (2.1) INR 1,525.00
UPS Microtek 1 KVA INR 3,400.00 UPS Microtek 1 KVA INR 3,400.00
INR 65,830.00 INR 65,980.00
My priorities are:
a)- A good desktop for 3D and video editing
b)- But should be able to play most games at MID to HIGH resolutions
c)- And should last me at least 6 to 9 months before requiring serious upgrade
d)- Should have above average overclock ability
So please clarify my queries:
a)- At max 65k budget which is a better option to go for? Suggest alternate components if you think these are not good.
b)- Does 1666MHz RAM and 6GB/s HDDs really make a huge difference in real world applications?
c)- In the next phase of my build I will be adding another graphic card, so keeping that in mind which is better- Radeon 5770 or GTS 450 for CF/SLI gaming.
Brief- The rig I am making will undergo constant upgrades at 2/3 month intervals e.g. more RAM, another HDD etc therefore big upgrades like MoBo, Proccy, SMPS etc can wait till 2012, but till then the machine should be able to keep up with my requirements which is 3D, video editing and casual (weekend) gaming.
Thanks and waiting for your answers.
