vinitwins Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 CPU = ok Mobo = G33 chipset has integrated graphics - otherwise it is pretty similar to the p35 recommendation i made. HDD = whatever SATA drive you can afford RAM = i'm not too sure whether you can use DDR2/800 with the quad proc or you need to stick with the faster DDR3/1033 Graphics = check the price difference between the 256mb 8600gts and the 320mb 8800gts before finalising. Monitor = ok you missed out on the DVDRW+DL & the Case/PSU V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinity091 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Called up my computer guy today this is what he suggested CPU- Intel Q6600 MOBO- Sum 975??? HDD- SATA 160gb RAM- 2gb kingston (ill upgrade later) Graphics card- 8500gt (didn't have the 8600 gt) Monitor- 19" viewsonic + Speakers, Cabinet, DVD writer, etc- For 44000 or 46500(with the 8600gt). Sounds good to me. Edited October 18, 2007 by Infinity091 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinitwins Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 the foundation of your system is the cpu+mobo - just make sure you get a branded mobo (asus, gigabyte, msi) and if it supports the newer 45nm cpus (for future upgrades). everything else, including the graphics card can be upgraded or swapped later on.

Tyler Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I think he's offering an Intel D975 board. BTW, one of my friends bought the exact same config a month back (and borrowed pretty much all my PC games hehe). He seems pretty happy with it.

MarketTantrik Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I wouldn't recommend the 975 based board now. Go for a 33/35 series board or one based on Nvidia's 680i/650i chipset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinity091 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 What is the difference between a 8500GT and a 8600GT? Worth 2.5k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 ^^ Definitely. And if you can stretch the budget a little more, get a 8600 GTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I think you can get a 8600GTS for around 9-10K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abhishek Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Yes, I would recommend the XFX 650i. Rock solid, and OCs like crazy. But I don't get why so many people are going for quad cores. Unless you are doing some heavy rendering, or encoding HD movies, there is no use in buying quad cores. You can get an E6750 5k cheaper, and gaming performance is the same as quad core. You can probably OC it better as well on stock cooling. Save the 5k, spend more on the GFX card, better PSU, or a bigger hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But im not getting a new computer for 3-4 years after this and i cant change the processor so i might as well get the newest 1 and i can upgrade the rest when i need to.

Wouldn't it be better to upgrade the processor when needed? I change my processor almost every 6 months. Even with this processor, it's going to get obsolete withing 2 months. It's always better to buy the 'mid range' processor of each generation (which lasts about 5-6 months), which cost not more than 7k. Just my 2 cents..

MarketTantrik Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Nice find Vinit. I was discussing this config with that comp guy today. Pretty decent value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ЯeVeЯse Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Wouldn't 8600GT require a better power supply? A Powersafe 500W should do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
