Need help with a Hardcore Wow gaming pc... Hello people...
i am a hardcore World of Warcraft player... For now i am playing on my Dv6000 hp laptop...
I am playing on buying a Gaming pc machine ... Where i can get a good fps and stuff...
I can spent upto 50k to 60k ... So plz reply to my post..
ty ""
r u looking for laptop or desktop ??
as far as i know, WoW is not very demanding at all. Yes, there are talks of a graphics update frm Blizzard, but u just want a comp for WoW ?
i guess u dont need 50-60k, a lot less should do.
Plz tell if u need a laptop or desktop so that i could help u more.
desktop... Plus i need it for downloading too ...
after playing till wee hr off Wow... i wanna keep my pc online for downloads and stuff.. ""ty for the reply ..cheers
Like rajan said WOW does not demand much graphics .... All you have to do is to make sure that your computer has a 256mb Graphic card . Thats it
If you want a Desktop specifically for wow 35k can buy you one which can give you max graphics for wow [anything with 256mb card]
.
For downloads make sure you have a good isp and Lot of Hard drive space thats it
I'm sure he wants to play other games too.Originally Posted by ShAdOwCoN
Graphics card performance depends more than on just the memory.
GPU :-
XFX NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT 512MB Graphics Card Price - 8900 INR
or
XFX NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT Graphics Card - 7500 INR
RAM:-
Corsair 2 x 2 GB DDR2 RAM Price - 2 x 2000 = 4000 INR
(RAM from Other Brands are Cheaper and you can go for transcend or zion)
Motherboard :-
Dont know the price but :-
Nvidia 730i
or
Nvidia 750i
Processor : Pick one. Lowest price Intel Quad Core will be available at 9000 to 10000 INR. But you can go for Core2Duo. No reason to spend too much money here. Unless you have money to waste.
Hard-disk: 500 GB SATA (atleast). Brands : Seagate, Western Digital
500 GB Sata Western Digital = 3200 INR
500 GB (16 mb buffer) Sata Seagate Hard Disk = 2850 INR (I personaly have this)
Please note that all prices are approximate and price changes in the market frequently.
well, if u want to go for the Q6600 (lowest intel Quad) , i suggest u w8 till end on Jan, as the end of life of the Q6600 is in Jan 09. Hence all vendors will be offering price cuts on that processor. IMO, u really dont need a quad now. Most of the games are not quad core optimized. But its always good to be ready for the future. Also, corsair is a good brand, just buy their RAM, dont look for cheaper brands to save 1k. Also, u can get a 9600GT for 6.2k here : XpertVision NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 Graphics Card - GF .
Pls check my Threads on GPUs in this sub section .... I am very well versed with PC hardwareGraphics card performance depends more than on just the memory.
ok for a gaming rig
i would recommend Nvidia 8800GT or AMD HD4850 .....GPU :-
XFX NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT 512MB Graphics Card Price - 8900 INR
or
XFX NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT Graphics Card - 7500 INR
HD 4850 performs better than the 8800GT and is based on a new architecture costing just rs 500 more than 8800gt
[ HD 4850 info courtesy Rajan ]
You can also go in for Transcend and Kingston . 3 Gb Ram is enough for all latest and upcoming Games [Experience]RAM:-
Corsair 2 x 2 GB DDR2 RAM Price - 2 x 2000 = 4000 INR
(RAM from Other Brands are Cheaper and you can go for transcend or zion)
You can go in for Intel and AMD mo bos too . If you r not planning to SLI cards there is no necessity to buy Nvidia mo bos .Motherboard :-
Dont know the price but :-
Nvidia 730i
or
Nvidia 750i
make sure to buy PCI-E2 based mo bos
You can go in for Core2 Duo based processors . Core 2 Duo proceesors perform better than their cheap Quad Core Counter parts .Speeds in GHZ are not the only measure of a processors's performance ... Just buy a decent Core 2 Duo processor .Processor : Pick one. Lowest price Intel Quad Core will be available at 9000 to 10000 INR. But you can go for Core2Duo. No reason to spend too much money here. Unless you have money to waste.
Also check MaxtorHard-disk: 500 GB SATA (atleast). Brands : Seagate, Western Digital
500 GB Sata Western Digital = 3200 INR
500 GB (16 mb buffer) Sata Seagate Hard Disk = 2850 INR (I personaly have this)
Space completely depends on your needs
240GBGb atleast .... unless you are planning to download the whole torrents into your PC no need for 500GB .

This is a very good thread , read it .....
well, i just wanted to add on and say that 3GB(RAM) is good enough, but if u need more, u need a 64 bit OS, else even if u have 8GB of RAM, on a 32 bit system , the OS will not be able to use more than 3GB of RAM.
Also, on the thread provided by shadowcon, i found 1 important point missing
Its the PSU.
Buy a good PSU now, cos they can limit ur next upgrade.
Eg: newer cards(High end ones) come with 2X6 or 6+8 pic-e molex power connectors. So try to buy a PSU with 80%+ efficiency, a tleast 2X6 pcie molex power connectors and if u have extra cash to spend, get a Modular PSU.
Even for newer CUP's u may well need a better PSU (usually the case with AMD's power hungry CPUs's).
Also, some advice on the case. If u r living in a hostel and none of ur frens hav a good comp, go for a modest looking case, else they will rune it !!

Yeah forgot about the PSU
And avoid Multi rail PSUs ...single rail is always better
Good thread.
i really got more info.
nice thread.
What's the difference between both of them ?
If you r talking about the companies
Nothing significant
I think WD has 10000 RPM and Seagate has 7500 RPM. But seagate gave me 5 Years waranty.
Processor : Intel C2D E7300 - 5900
Motherboard : Asus P5Q C - 9600
RAM : Transcend 2 X 2GB DDR2 800MHz - 2250
HDD : WD 640GB SATA2 - 3750
Optical Drive : SAMSUNG SATA Writer - 1200
Cabinet : NZXT 8E-AHN02-UGB - 3000
PSU : CoolerMaster RP-600-PCAR - 3450
GFX : Palit HD 4870 Dual Sonic - 17975
LCD : Benq 22 " T2200HD - 11450
KB+Mouse : Logitech Cordless Keyboard + Mouse Set Ex 100 - 1525
Total : 60100
Go For This Config
noways bro. 10K rpm ones r VERY expensive. U cant compare.
i dont get it ..............
18K Gfx card and a 6K processor...... no balance IMO(if u DONT'T OC).
Also, A coolermaster 600W is not the best option, i have it and its not that good.Its real hot 4 me and 600W is on the border-line for that gfx card(4870).
Asus p5Q C ...... is it the Combo memory one?? (i know p5kc not seen Qc). Looks pricey for a Mobo with no pcie 2 slot. Instead go 4 A P45 mobo ?
Rest looks nice. But personally i would not like to spend 60K on a rig that will get out dated in less than 1 year. Rather get an expandable system(costs less than an all out rig).

With the rest of the config metioned I'd recomend a better processor and 1066MHz ram
if u want a future proof machine then go for
Corei7 920 - 15k
Gigabyte X58 DS4 - 14k
Transcend 3GB DDR3 - 8k
Dell LCD / Benq LCD 22" : 12k
Palit HD4850 - 9k
SAMSUNG DVD/RW - 1.2k
CoolerMaster 500W - 2.8k
CoolerMaster Elite 330 - 2k
Logitech Wireless Desktop - 1.5k
Total : 65,500
Good rig !! But can u plz send the link for the Mobo. I cant find a X58 that cheap anywhere.
u missed the HDD.

Future Proof ?
Corei7's days are numbered ..... imo its similar to Pentium D [its Life i mean]
You seem to be quoting Online prices ..... They are cheaper in shops
@All
PS : Both the configs are overkill ..... A gaming Desktop that can run all games in max settings should cost you no more than 40-50k .... Dont Contradict me because i have seen it with my own eyes practically .....
I totally agree !! But the guy wanted to spend 60K, we just wanted to help him spend more !!
But y do u think the corei7 is like pentium d ??(in terms of eol).
Also, can some1 plz tell me if there will be difference in gaming while using DDR3 mem @1333Mhz(cas lat:9) Vs DDR2 mem @1066(cas lat:5) ?
Nothing you can discern from the Visuals . It ll show some difference in Benchmarks thoI totally agree !! But the guy wanted to spend 60K, we just wanted to help him spend more !!

and Loading times will increase [How much i cannot tell]
When the corei7 goes mainstream in India [may take about a year] .... The next processor based on the newer Sandy Bridge architecture will be released (expected around this time next year).
that does nt give corei7 much time does it ?
I mean in the Enthusiast category .... As newer architectures will give you more for less
Agreed !
Info abt The DS4 and DS5:
There have been many cases of the board not recognizing many brands of ddr3 1333 memory. So plz make sure b4 u buy it. Cheapest ddr3 costs 8k. So it could be a significant loss.

This thread might confuse the thread starter more than its going to help. But we're only trying to help.
ummm....Wow isn't actually a Hardcore demanding game is it, i'd bet that even onboard garphics could play it pretty well...but if you're a hardcore enthusiast, the guys have outlined it for you already!
