Thread: Best Quad core PC config and Price

please suggest me a pc configuration based on a quad core processor . a good mobo which support ddr3 ram and a 19" tft lcd display(less than RS 6500) for gaming. i will by th gpu later. my buget is 30k.

A good 19" TFT such as Samsumg is usually around 10K.

It is better to stretch budget this one time rather than repent later. I think that you should get a good system for 40K.

Suggested configuration:

Motherboard: ASUS P5K-E / WiFi-AP Socket 775 Motherboard
CPU: Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Processor Q6600
RAM: 2 x DDR2 2GB PC2-6400 800MHz Dual Channel Patriot PDC22G6400ELK
Hard disk: 750GB SATA/300 16MB Buffer
Graphics Card: EVGA 8400GS Video Card (PCI-Express, 512MB)
Display: Samsung 19" LCD Display (1440x900, 3000:1, 2ms)
Power Supply: Antec 500W Power Supply
Others: Cabinet, Keyboard/Mouse, DVD Writer

Not a bleeding edge config. But should suffice you.

^^ That mobo is gonna be costly.

Also, avoid Q6600. Get somethin like a Q9550

also, i dont think u can get all that for 30k.

Hmm. I know that Q6600 is not the latest or the best. But some compromise will have to be made somewhere. I thought CPU will be a better choice than MoBo.

that mobo is gr8, but its got features he may not use na? I mean he may not use wifi also??
a Q8400 is a lil cheaper, might as well go for that.

Suggestion:

Motherboard: ASUS M4A78-EM - 1394 Rs 4600
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 - 810 BE 2.6GHz, 6M, AM3 Rs 8500
RAM: 2 x 2GB DDR2 800MHz Transend Rs. 2500
Hard disk: 640 GB WD6400AACS 16MB Rs 3275
Graphics Card: Palit 9600GT 512MB DDR3 256Bit - Rs. 4750
Display: Samsung 19"/22" LCD Display (1440x900, 3000:1, 2ms)
Power Supply: Gigabyte GE-R460-V1 Active PFC Rs 2350
Others: Cabinet, Keyboard/Mouse, DVD Writer Rs. 1500+650+1100

Total < 30,000 without monitor

22" Samsung LCD = Rs. 9500

^^he does not need the grahpics card , so yea he can save that Rs5000.

thnx for suggestions . i read some where that for lcd monitor for gaming , response time is really important . but i could not understand that it should be low or high.

and please tell the confg for amd sys. is amd better for gaming than intel. and is amd cheaper than intel. please tell the model no of lcd monitor so that not confused.

Response time should be as low as possible.

In tradtional CRT monitors, the CRT's source is light and hence response is not a problem.

In LCD/TFT monitors, the screen is produced by each bit of LCD element. The LCD takes time to respond to the signal.

Currently the fastest LCDs are with 2 ms response times. A higher response time will mean that there will be ghost-like effect in fast moving action scenes - the higher the response time, the worse it will get.

for gaming the graphics card matters much more than the processor.

You can also get a HD4670 but might cost a little more.

And currently AMD phenom will be more value for money.
it's better than Q6600 may be even Q8200.

and cheaper than Q8200 hence more value for money.

Read his first post plz.

Hi!
I currently own a 3.06 GHZ single core with DDR1 2GB RAM.I want to upgrade my desktop computer.I already have Hard disk(500 gb),graphics card(nvidia 8600 GT),LCD monitor(samsung 21''),speakers,mouse,keyboard.
So how much will it cost to upgrade to quad core?

Around 15K

well u need a new motherboard and new RAM. A good set of both will cost u about 9k alone. Plus, even the cheapest quad is Rs 8000. So, approx it to about Rs16-17k.
