Hi to all forum users. My name is Dr Rohan. Wanted an opinion on the following PC configuration. PC would be used for gaming occasionally and multimedia applications.

INTEL CORE 2 QUAD 6600 PROCESSOR
ASUS P5Q PRO MOTHERBOARD
MSI MX8800GT -OC GRAPHICS PROCESSOR
4GB 800MHZ KINGSTON RAM 4800
WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR SE 16 320GB SATA
COOLMASTER EXTREME POWER 500W SMPS
COOLMASTER ELITE 330 CABINET
ASUS DRW 1814BLT DVD WRITER
HP PHOTOSMART C4288

Awaiting ur comments at the earliest

hey roh123 i mean thats a good config u posted there however instead of me being able to give u help i wud need u to help me a good config since u r so good at specifications...

now im actually looking for a pc including a monitor which i can watch movies on and play afew games [heavy ones like GRID or Bioshock]

What Suggestion do u have for me?

hmmm rohan as u r spending so much money for the system why dont u crank it up a bit more... try buying the 9 series graphics card... something like 9600 gs or even the GT... and go for someone like xfx brand...cool performance...

Your PC specs are quite good. But do you really want HP c4288 AIO printer? I would suggest that you opt for c6288 which has FAX and wireless networking ca[pability.

i wonder howcum no one helped me with a good config ;(

@players player
why cant u just use rohan's configuration... its a good one..

bcos i dont have that much of money!!

You can opt for the same config but with a little lesser memory - say 2 GB. Also you need not opt for hi end cabinets. The same config will then be available for 30K or less.

Also if you already have an LCD monitor you can skip it.

THats the graphics card..............i miss splet it sorry
MSI -- MICRO-STAR INT'L CO., LTD.

Thanks for all the help guys..........

. Sorry, cabinet (with SMSPS) must be standard and high ended. Sub-standard and cheap SMPS will kill the motherboard and associated parts.

When I meant "not high ended", I did not mean "sub standard".

I have been using PCs for quite a few years and all my cabinets/SMPSs were standard supplies - nothing like extreme cooling with multiple cooling and hi-tech features. None of my PCs ever failed yet.

hmmm well nothing much to say apart from i'll wait a little longer till i can actually spend 30 k or so on computer. i hope those all in one's like apple and dell have come down to Rs 30k then i will not have to buy separate stuff apart from a neat setup like dells.well thats wishful thinking!!

alright here is my suggestion on the above configuration

why are you buying RAM from kingston its a cheap quality brand made for low cost PC's try to get your hands on brands like
Corsair or Patriot these are the best!

In my opinion buying a quad processor is not worth as you will need to have a compatible windows and compatible programs which will make the most out of your quad core processor instead try investing in a processor which runs on 1333 MHz FSB.

hmm player do u like computers alot? or do u love em?

cannot say that i love them but i have a interest in computers when it comes to hardware level
