Aftrunner Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 20k is a bit tight for a 4850+Mobo+Proccy+SMPS. You might need another 2-3k or so to make it work. And a bit more if you dont have a hard disk and compatible RAM. As far as your first question goes a 4850 is a very good card and will easily last you till the next year and probably a bit longer as well. And it will play stuff like Fallout, AC, PoP fully maximised without a stutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 ^^ i know 20k is gonna be tight, but i am looking at a time frame of december 09-jan 2010 of building a pc, as i said i will only need it to play games that are gonna get released this year or hav released prior. Anything after jan 2010, i'd get them on my ps3.. The reason is that I dont want to spend money on games like bioshock, deadspace, FO3, mirror's edge which are still near launch price for consoles but cheap for PC. I got my ps3 a month ago so i kinda missed out on them. So if u can then please give me a rough idea of the stuff I can get around 25k at present, with a 4850 included. Also by how much can the whole price drop till december. I have a hard disk but U hav to include a 2 GB ram (it will suffice, rite ??) P.S. Awesome sigg..!! Aftrunner, saw Leon again yesterday after a long time and realised just how much i love the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3ace Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Guys..I need to upgrade one of my old systems,so would like your advise on what specs to go for.Not looking for monitor..only wanna upgrade the CPU.Budget is 25k as the system will be used for net surfing and some gaming(TF2,L4D etc.).Only thing I'll be salvaging from the old CPU would be the DVD burner. So looking for specifications that would fit under this budget cause it's time I get rid of this ancestral trash. This combo should suit your need will be power efficient and good for decent gaming E5200 - 3.6K (Does 4GHz on Air good cooler required tho ) Gigabyte G31 S2l - 2.3k 2GB Ram - 1.3k Ati 4670 512MB 4.2k ( lowest Idle good while surfing ) get the palit on it comes with HDMI 500 GB HDD 2.8K Cabinet of your choice around 2k Power supply Zebronics Realwatt 550Watt 2.7k (OEM is HEC) ODD 1.2k If you wanna save a bit get the zebronics real watt 350 it has 23 amps on 12V and will suffice the above config @Cortez dont go for Cm extreme Series PSu they are crap instead get a Corsair if you are tight on budget get a 80+ certified zebronics they are HEC oem's and pretty good PSU's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3ace Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 @Nemo ok if you wanna play current gen games then go for the 4770 instead of 4850. its cheaper and performance suffers only in the range of 5 to 10% 4770 will allow you to play all current gen games with good resolution and high settings ya and when you ask ppl for suggestion regarding graphic cards please mention the monitor you intend to use with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 @P3ace I wid most likely be using my current monitor, which too is pretty old but does the job. Its a LCD samsumg syncmaster 15" or i can use a hdtv (which i will have most likely by diwali this year). As i mentioned before I will not built this rig before 2009 ends.. so I am hoping that the computer stuff gets a price drop. I just need something that can run crysis at high. not eye popping balls twisting very, extreme, super high... but at decent level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Dude if you want to buy in Dec why are you doing all permutation now, off all you know the card might not be in production by then. I will suggest keep frequenting forums like erodov or TE they have really good deals on PC component when ever you see something going for cheap pick it.

Never even mind the new components that would be out by that time, the price fluctuations alone will make the question redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually i just though of it out of the blue yesterday and came here to get a general idea. I dont want a sate of the art stuff. Just wanted to know what stuff is though of as 'good' right now so i can keep it in mind later. I apologize if it did upset u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have any experience in a rig building so I might miss out of the little details.. I can head back here to bombard my noobish questions.. right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 ^Just wait up till December. In PC components world, 6 months is a decade. Just wait it out and start asking around in November-December only for prices and best products to take etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys there are better placed to answer u and know pretty much everything and don't have a lot of airs around noobs as far as I have seen. Just go through their buying guides and similar threads which other people like u have put up which are a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Well RAM is cheap as you want, so if you have some spare cash left over at the end of building a rig shove some RAM in. But its fairly easy to upgrade later as well so its not a biggie. My advice is get 4GB and that should be enough for a long while. Here is the mobo and proccy. Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L - 5.5k Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 - 8.9k Also if budget permits get the 1GB version of the GPU you are getting.

Cortez Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 @Afty-was thinking around the lines of Q9400,Q9500 etc.Could you also advise on which mobo to go for based on them and has DDR2 RAM slots. Or is there any other processor I should be checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nida Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 guys i have a question....currently i am using my lappie as a docking station at home as in like a desktop by attaching a 22inch tft samsung to it keyboard speakers mouse etc... and using it only as cpu... however i am beginning to feel the pinch of only 320 gb hard drive space ...i even bought additional 320 gb transcend storejet.... my dell laptop is Dell XPs 1530 model with following config :- intel core 2 duo T7500 @ 2.2 Ghz 4 Gb ddr2 RAM @ 666mhz 320 gb HDD Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT Hdmi Now, I am keen on assembling a new CPU ( i do not need a tft or speakers keyboard mouse etc... ( have razer lachesis ) . my question to you guys is the main reason for me to assemble a CPu is i want more HDD space. then ill use my laptop as a laptop only. Or should i just upgrade the laptop HDD >? and if i can do tht whats r the prices for 1 TB hdd for laptop etc. Also what would be the cost of assembling top of the line CPU with gfx card right now from lamington road ? experts please guide me.

AtheK Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 i dont think you can get a 1 TB internal HDD for the laptop, external yes you can. Top of the line PC with i7 proc will cost you around 85-90k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
