Default Configuraion Compatibility

Hi all
I joined the forum today. I read a post on buying the gpu. I also going to buy a low budget pc... for graphic design + video editing + 3d animation ( no matter is it (photoshop cs3 / cs4, premier cs3 / cs4,max 9 / max 7)

and in spare time a bit game play (POP, SOF, Max payne, Brian lara 2007) a bit.

What do you think about my following configuration?

1) Mobo :Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L/Asus P5N73-AM/ ?
2) CPU : Intel Dual Core - E5200
3) RAM :Kingston 2GB DDR2 PC-800MHz
4) GPU :Zotac 9600GT/?
5) HDD :WDC 320 GB S-ATA 3.5" Hard Drive
6) DVD writer :
7) PSU :VIP Silver 500W /?
8) DISPLAY :Benq 15" Wide Screen TFT LCD Monitor
9) UPS:Frontech 600VA UPS
10) CAB : Zebronics BIJLI

Budget within 25000/- Rs

I would strongly suggest that u go for atleast 4GB RAM, a min of a 19" LCD(costs only 6.5k) and go for a 9500GT instead of 9600GT(save cash).

Reasons:

For graphic design, u need loads of RAM, i dont think graphic cards help that much. Save money by buying a 9500GT instead of a 9600GT(save approx 3k)

See, if u can get a higher end processor, for video editing u need a processor with more cache. The E5200 has just 2MB of it.

Or, try the following config:

AMD Phenom 550 X2(3.1GHz,1MB L2 Cache,6MB L3 cache) Rs 6000
Biostar TA790GXB Motherboard : Rs 5000
4GB DDR2 800MHz RAM : Rs 3500
320GB SATA : Rs 2300
19" Benq/LG/Acer :Rs 6500
Optical drive: Rs 1100
Case W/PSU : Rs 2000
this comes up to approx 26k.
This PC uses an ATI 3300 on board graphics card. Good enough for the types of games u have mentioned.

Advantages:
Processor is a lot faster than the E5200. Also, if u get Lucky, u can unlock the other cores and make it a QUAD CORE. The extra cache will help u.

More RAM is good. Since we are using onboard video, no need to get a seperate PSU, use the one that comes with the case.

Overall i feel this rig is gonna be better for ur needs.

u can go for any. The GXE has 128MB of onboard GDDR3 memory for ur onboard GPU. The Cheaper one is GXB, go for that imo.
