It will cost you a fair bit of money but just like the old one, I can say that it would last a fair amount of time. You have most likely upgraded your GPU mid-way because the HD4*** series of GPU's did not launch before 2008.

Also, this was not the high end stuff at that time, but a somewhere in between. How much is a fair bit. :| 50 minutes ago, Joe Cool said: That's how wireless product work though.

I know that unifying receiver will still come, but with the Bluetooth thing, i can switch over to different machine with just a press of a button and not physically remove the receiver and plug it in the other machine.

Is it just for all the stuff that goes inside the cabinet or anything else as well? The AMDs are better than Intel these days? Any example hardware list/build for this? 40k sorts mein sahi nahi ban payega kya? Any suggestions for keyboard and mouse from you? This is the most urgent thing i need at this moment, as my Logitech MK700 is almost dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 ^ Yeah! That was also the time when Rupee was strong vis-à-vis the Dollar. Now you know how the situation is. We can build something in ~50,000 (for everything inside the chassis) but there will be certain considerations to be made. AMD is very competitive now, after almost five years of misery vs Intel products. So for your build, the most amount of money would be required by the GPU which is really hard to get because of Bitcoin mining. Apart from that, things are mostly stabilised now. Do you want a wireless kit for mouse and mice or wired would do? Either way, LOGITECH is a safe bet. For a rough breakdown of the hardware, I would recommend as follows, AMD Ryzen 5 1400 /1600 GIGABYTE AB350-D3H Corsair Vengeance /Kingston HyperX Savage 2400MHz 8GB x1 (add another module later down the line cause Ryzen loves fast memory) AMD RX570 4GB Hard-drives from old build Kingston UV400 240GB SSD (for boot and couple of other applications) Cooler Master MasterBox 5 Lite Seasonic M12II 520W For monitors, tell me your requirements and I would get back to you with the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayush12ice Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Thanks for the suggestion... Totally slipped out of my mind that $ is at 65-70 range these days.... Do you think i will be able to run this suggested setup for as long as i have run my current one (2008-till now)? I will need to buy new HDDs as well... only have 750GB at this moment. and have a couple of portable HDDs.... That would be run up the price a lot as well... 4TB types will buy. want to have all data on portable drives inside an internal HDD. Isn't buying 2 RAM sticks of 4GB better than just 1 8GB? Do SSDs really help a lot? Is the PSU a silent one? I won't OC anything, i hope i won't need any additional cooling peripherals. For the keyboard/mouse: Want wireless with option to switch between machines with a press of a button. I will probably go for the Logitech MK850 combo as can't find good enough standalone keyboard to buy with the Master 2S. I'll probably continue with the current monitor (ASUS MK241) for now unless it dies. As for requirements for it, not much to it, i will plug in my work laptop, DVR for CCTV and PC to it. Should work well enough for all 3. 2 hours ago, ALPHA17 said: required by the GPU which is really hard to get because of Bitcoin mining huh? what? didn't get this....

No 4TB for cheap :'( Isn't buying 2 RAM sticks of 4GB better than just 1 8GB? No.It is if say one of your RAM sticks dies,it isn't because it takes a preshus slot on your mobo,in which case you can only use the same kind to expand your ram,as in if you use 2x4GB instead of a single 8GB stick,you can only go up to 16GB,if you have a single 8GB stick you can go up to 32GB total Do SSDs really help a lot? Yes.Once you go SSD,you never go back.Install OS on SSD and 1-2 games that you are playing currently,get 256GB SSD Is the PSU a silent one? It is silent I won't OC anything, i hope i won't need any additional cooling peripherals. get a discrete cooler anyway later on.

Should work well enough for all 3. huh? what? didn't get this.... basically people are using GPU's (upto like 4x at once) to """mine"""" Bit-coin which is a crypto currency,what is bitcoin is not relevant,but basically they are buying so many GPU's that graphics card makers can't keep up with the demand,driving prices up.

PhantomShade Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 how is this "Regenersis Limited"? it is Asus's new servicing partner it seems(from the find a service center part of their website) also do they actually repair the motherboard? send you new mobo? send you refurbed mobo? I am having trouble narrowing down my problem to PSU or Mobo,so its either this or ship to kolkata :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power cut depends on how spectacularly it goes. Depends on the company terms and conditions. If it has caused something that looks like a physical burn it might get turned down (for the motherboard). 1 hour ago, PhantomShade said: how is this "Regenersis Limited"? it is Asus's new servicing partner it seems(from the find a service center part of their website) also do they actually repair the motherboard? send you new mobo? send you refurbed mobo?

If that is not feasible, they approve for a fresh replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomShade Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 any good power supplies for testing and temprorary usage?(as in if i have to ship my current Seasonic PSU to Kolkata) budget is max 7k,i will not be doing any overclocking on this system,GTX 970 specs recommend 500w PSU,so 500/520/550w psu's will do would prefer if psu is modular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomShade Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) my problem basically was after PC is shut down(as in the main power switch turned off) for a long time(always the next morning,because it stays off for 7-8 hours while i sleep ) it used to,and still does some times 1)show artifact-y horizontal multi colored lines on POST/BIOS-splash screen along with a low res screen(as in when your graphics card doesn't have drivers installed,1024x768 the resolution is) it used to boot into windows,again with the shitty res,checking in speccy or the nvidia control center showed no Nvidia gpu was plugged in(???) anyhow the solution to this problem was shutting it down and starting it again or pressing restart button on chassis 2)this is when it got worse,same symptoms except it would never show any display(monitor says no signal) for the most part(when it did,same as 1) ) restarting again "fixed" the problem. 3) this is what i currently face,this issue happens if PC is completely powered off i.e mains switch is turned off there is no display at all,the motherboard's CPU power led stays bright red,and there is no power provided to kb and mouse(which usually light up),and none of the Gamer-y lights of the mobo light up all fans(CPU and Chassis) work now the power and restart button on the chassis do nothing,So i have to turn off mains power to shut it off the """"solution"""" to this issue is keep on starting/"pulling the plug" so to speak,and also turning off the little switch on the back of PSU on and off here the display,whenever it appears is same glitchy as before but with some low res 4:3 resolution(you can see the black bars) i theorize there is some issue with the capacitors some where,not delivering enough power to the components involved its either the PSU or the Mobo,don't know which. the cause of all this is random powercuts and the accompanying surges or whatever. after i do its "Powering Up Rituals" though,the PC works completely normal,.

ALPHA17 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 ^ LOGITECH G413 /Kingston HyperX Alloy are good options if you are restricted by budget and just want a good mechanical keyboard. Both lack RGB but are superlative performers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change even tried resetting cmos jumper,still nothing i noticed that if i keep mains power on for like half an hour,the PC starts up normally(as in the power and reset buttons work now) i am currently typing this from said PC only the temporary """"solution"""" i have found is to keep mains power running 24 x 7,even if the pc is shut off.

Are power cuts very frequent in your area? Also, if your components are all running fine, I doubt it is your PSU which is causing you much grief. I would suggest you move the desktop to a different location (I mean a different area than yours) and see if it functions normally there. 1 hour ago, PhantomShade said: if you want just a mechanical kb without any G4m3r RGB backlighting for cheap then go for TVS Gold e-sports Keyboard,it has cherry mx blue switches apparently,yet so cheap o_O http://www.amazon.in/Tvse-Gold-Usb-Bharat-Keyboard/dp/B00U126ZGA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501756259&sr=8-1&keywords=tvs+keyboard costs 3K. No anti-ghosting and the USB version has a very low NKRO. He will need to pick up the PS/2 variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
