Recommend Me A PC!!!

[The Punisher]

OK Guy's since my budget has increased i hav decided to Purchase the PC with following Specs:
Processor-Intel Core2Duo E8200
Motherboard-XFX Nvidia Nforce 680iLT
GPU-XFX 8800GT Xtreme Edition
RAM-XMS2 DHX TWIN2X2048-6400C5DHX/800 BUS
HD-320 Gb SATA II

Is this ok for games like Crysis,Assasins Creed....also wt WATT power PSU is required for this setup....

For power supply think of Coolermaster 500W as the absolute minimum.

GOTCHA...Can you also plz reccomend me the casing.....with good ventilation...

CM 690 for rs. 5300 and if on budget get a promedia casing, they will cost u around rs. 2500....

Didn't know it became a crap so soon but still worth 13200 i think Intel is fool to have such high prices of such craps.

A dual core beating a COre2Duo.

Can you please Elaborate?? Either i m confused or you are and for what basis u r comparing two different class of processor with one another.

E2200 overclocked surpasses X6800 in gaming.

E7200 performs just as good as the E6750 stock. Thats the basis for me saying that.

E6xxx is being phased out. E8xxx is the replacment and performs much better. The replacment of E4xxx series is the E7xxx and its really good.

@The Punisher

PLEASE dont get nVidia chipset ... not recommended at all! Get MSI P35 instead ! 680i mat laina bhai!

Whats your actual budget btw ?

@The Punisher
For casing if you are willing to spend some money then follow advice of fajoo24 and get Coolermaster CM690. If you want to spend a bit less then you can get Coolermaster Elite 33x for Rs.2,500. I am personally using Elite 330 with 120mm fans in front and back.

Why?
Rnt nforce based MOBO's gud?
or that the 680i iz an older chipset?

I thought nVidia Chipset were good...is there any problem with them......And ma budget is 65k...One thing more....i need a motherboard that supports DDR3.....Can anyone hlp me with this one?

Problem with nvidia 680 is it does not support 45nm quads (not nvidia's mistake, intel changed some specs at the last moment). If you want DDR3 support then you should buy Asus P5K-C for 10,300. Use DDR 2 for now and get DDR 3 when it gets cheap.

Btw you have a very good budget. If it does not include cost of LCD then you can go for 8800GTS 512MB (better cooling then 8800GT) and E8400.

Thanx bro.....LCD is not included in ma budget.....OK will definitely check out 8800GTS and E8400.....

No use spending all that on a E8400. That money can be put to better use.

Nor is a 8800GTS 512MB worht spending the extra 4K for.

Get a lower processor, something like a E7200 ... overclock the mofo and your off. Save the money to spend on a better GPU.

E7200
P5K-C
3870X2
600watt CM PSU
160GB HD
RAM of your choice.

Might stretch your budget slight bit ... but a 3870x2 and a overclock E7200 is going to own anything with a 8800GT OC. Anything.

GPU is what runs games ... your GPU will become the first bottleneck, then the CPU. (and since CPUs can be overclcokc SO easily now, no need to worry)

Oh and the nVidia 6 series - bad choice for 45nm.

Well with the 320 GB hard-drive and Corsair Ram the rig is crossing 69000......am afraid i cant stretch ma budget upto70,000.....Please tell me the specs that are maximum 66k....

Hey i got one more question to ask......are there any good laptops in the range of 60k which can play games like Assasin Creed,F.E.A.R,Gears of War at medium resolutions.....???

No there are none.

For a PC within your budget

C2D E7200 Rs. 10,700
Asus P5K-C Rs. 10,800
Corsair XMS 2GB 6400 Rs. 3,500
Seagate 250GB Sata Rs. 4,200
Coolermaster CM690 Rs. 5,300
Coolermaster 600W Rs. 4,200
XFX 9800GTX Rs. 26,000

Total Rs. 64,700

Always remember that Dual GPU options are too much hassle and should be avoided (3870X2, 9800GX2).


Another option is

C2D E8400 Rs. 16,000
Asus P5K-C Rs. 10,800
Corsair XMS 2GB 6400 Rs. 3,500
Seagate 250GB Sata Rs. 4,200
Coolermaster Elite 33x Rs. 2,500
Coolermaster 600W Rs. 4,200
XFX 8800GTS 512MB Rs. 22,000

Total Rs. 63,200

You can also replace E8400 with Q6600 in the second option.

^Thanx man really appreciated your help.(1)....

No there are none.

Bummer:crying:....well my father gave me an option between a PC and a Laptop(Starting ma university this year:wink2....so thought i should ask...

 

[deltree]

Coolermaster Elite 33x Rs. 2,500
Coolermaster 600W Rs. 4,200


Coolermaster CM690 Rs. 5,300
Coolermaster 600W Rs. 4,200


Asus P5K-C Rs. 10,800...does he really need this?


any sensible power enhancements cuz of these things?

has anyone ever even checked if even a quad core of these specs even requires 600watts on full load? a 460watts psu will be ample, the cm variant does the rails just fine for a non-sli config.....

 

[Nomad]

Coolermaster Elite 33x Rs. 2,500
Coolermaster CM690 Rs. 5,300

These are not power supplies

Asus P5K-C Rs. 10,800...does he really need this?

Asus motherboard, P35 chipset, DDR2 as well as DDR3 ram, need I say more?

These power requirements are not due to processor but due to GPU and to provide comfortable headroom for overclocking. But you are right, 460w power supply would have been enough, if it was a good one. Coolermaster Extreme series power supplies are not very good. I would have suggested the Corsair VX450 power supply that I myself am using if it was currently available. Besides, Corsair VX450 was priced at Rs. 5,300 on Galaxy when Coolermaster 600W was being sold by them for Rs. 3,900, so it's not like he will be spending extra on 600W.

Yea i really do.......As ma budget allows me to.....

Asus motherboard, P35 chipset, DDR2 as well as DDR3 ram, need I say more?

Well Guy's i have again rearranged ma PC...Here are the Specs...:
Processor:E8400 3.0 Ghz(Will overclock it to 3.8)(1)
Motherboard:Asus P5K-C Intel
GPU:XFX 8800GT DDr III Xtreme edition
RAM:Corsair XMS-2 DHX Twin2x2048 800 Bus
Casing:CoolerMaster CM690
Power Supply:Real Master Pro 650 Watts SLi Ready
HDD:Seagate 320 Gb SATA-II 16mb cache

Am thinking of buying ASUS VENTO Casing...should i go for it or not..?

 

[deltree]

Real Master Pro 650 Watts SLi Ready = overkill
CoolerMaster CM690 = overkill
E8400 3.0 Ghz(Will overclock it to 3.8) = a more powerful gpu would be a much better option then spending valuable bucks on a processor which even a lower end variant can be overclocked to attain 3.2-3.5ghz levels and at those speeds the cpu ends being the bottleneck!!!

GeForce PCX 9600GT 512MB (256BITS) DDR-III OVER CLOCK VERSION 12800

GeForce PCX 9600GTOC2 512MB (256-BITS) DDR- III 14500
save some bucks on the card go the quad core way, its much more future effective! what you will loose in terms of the meagre gain a 8800gt will giv u will be sufficed by a stronger processor....



@burhaan i know they arent psu's but thats what im asking do they really have any affect on benchmarks? PERFORMANCE power of the pc? i meant it in that sense!!! unless he has lots of stuff to put in da thing does he really need the expensive casing?


or

GeForce PCX 9600GT 1GB (256-BITS) DDR- III 18000 (the 1gb counts more over the clock speed increase on a 512mb 8800gt)
