  3. Hi
    Can you suggest a good configuration for programming (using eclipse, netbeans), internet and graphics. I keep the system on for long time please suggest if additional fan is required for the long run of the pc.

  10. Sir i hope to buy Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H with d abv config......Wht abt it???Will it give better graphics support???whts its price??Wht abt BenQ G2220HD monitor ???

    ReplyDelete
  11. @Anonymous,
    Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H is also a good motherboard, but it is 2k extra. Price : Rs 4250

    Graphics does not depend on Motherboard, it depends on graphics card, if you are going to buy HD 5770, no need to worry abt motherboard.

    BenQ G2220HD - Rs. 7500
    Good Full HD monitor 1920x1080, Good response time 5ms. Good to go.

    Dont go for Athlon II X4 635
    Go for Phenom II Quad X4-840, it is better than Athlon, at just 100 more.

    L3 cache is an added advantage, but not that groung breaking

  22. @^,

    HD 4000 series does not support DirectX 11.
    So better go for GT430 it will be around Rs. 3500

    ReplyDelete
  23. @C.Karthik thanks for the prices...
    there is an another choice for me you just have to help me should i buy x4955 or x4965.. if the answer is x4965 then please give the price. u have mention that zion ram price there some confusion arises.. i wanted two 4gb ddr3 zion ram..what will be the price.. could there be any other motherboard from asus?? bcos what u have suggested it is far more than my budget... is there any asus product which support x4955/x4965 and have 4slots of ddr3 ram under rs.3500... please let me know. thank u

    ReplyDelete
  24. Which is better for an AMD based system... Geforce or radeon ???

    ReplyDelete
  25. @Anonymous,

    1)x4 965 is 0.2 GHz(just 200 MHz, doesnt make much difference) faster than x4 955, but Rs.1000 more. (If u r tight on budget go for x4 955, else go for x4 965)

    2) Single 4GB RAM will be around 1500, so 2x4G will be 3K. But if u plan to buy faster RAM it will be around 4K.

    3) Then the best choice is
    ASUS M4A78LT-M AM3 - Rs.3500, it has 4 RAM slots

    ReplyDelete
  26. @Anonymous,
    Geforece or Radeon choice depends on price and personal choice.

    For AMD processor, any card is same.

    phenom x4 955 is a good gaming processor at a very attractive price.

    It is not true that AMD processor performance will lag as it ages.

    Any PC, when not properly maintained will lag as it ages.

  39. sir,i want to upgrade my msi 8400gs 512mb graphic card to radeon hd6670 1gb ddr3(or)ddr5 and i had Zebronic 400w psu does this enough to run hd6670?

    ReplyDelete
  40. @Anonymous,

    Your Zebronics 400w is the min req for HD 6670.
    But I recommend you at least have 500w power supply. (But this card will still run with ur 400w power supply)

    If u plan upgrade ur power supply go for 600w power supply as it will be future proof.

    ReplyDelete
  41. if i run hd 6670 with zeb 400w does this give any problem regarding performance or any other issues?

    ReplyDelete
  42. If ur 400w power supply cannot give enough power, ur pc will restart automatically and it can damage the hardware also.
    Better buy extra power supply

    ReplyDelete
  43. which is the best psu for radeon hd6670 1gb ddr5?
    around 3k

    ReplyDelete
  44. @^,

    Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500W or
    Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 550W

    Both will be around 3k

    Is the AMD processor and graphics card have a performance like intel and nvidia.and also suggest a GRAPHIC CARD at 3000-4000 INR...

    ReplyDelete
  65. @^, Yes AMD are equally powerful at this price range. Only at highend Intel out performs AMD.

    Good Graphics card for around Rs 4k :
    Nvidia GT430
    AMD HD 6450

    But these are basic cards, dont expect much. You can play at low settings only.

      Which of the two cpus is better?
      i5 2500 or phenom ii x6 for gaming at descent settings.
      or is phenom ii x4 enough(keeping in mind upgrades) or should i wait for sometime for something better to release and prices reduce(have time till april this year)?

      another question.
      i may leave town for 4 years(college).
      should i buy a higher end laptop to take with me(i already have 1 with average config) or should i buy a desktop(play while i'm at home)(upgrading my old one with descent specs)???cause i heard laptops are costlier and less efficient for gaming.

      Delete
    2. 1) For Gaming Intel i5 2500 and AMD Phenom X6 both are fine.
      2) If u want the best go for i5
      3) If u want a cheaper option, go for AMD Phenom X6.
      4) Intel Ivy Bridge is expected to release soon, but it may not improve the performance much (May be 20%)
      5) As u said, Laptops are not good for gaming.
      Use ur Laptop for studies and
      Use ur Desktop at home for Gaming.

      Corsair Vengence 1*4gig - Rs 2k

      GPU AMD 6770 - Rs 7k
      if u can raise ur budget go for
      AMD HD 6850 - Rs 11k

      Yes, u can use ur old HDD in the new PC

      GSkill is also a good RAM

      And also i wanna know the price of 500GB internal hdd, (jan 2012) in chennai.

    8. @Ramesh,

      1) At this price, I would recommend u to go for AMD config

      2) Always dedicated GPU is better than on-board graphics
      3) Better go for AMD HD 6770 graphics card
      4) Dont go for 500GB hard disk, better go for 1 TB - Rs5k
      5) If u need a better motherboard go for Asus AMD880G M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3
