Hi guys,
I am planning to buy a new PC in end of March-April and this is my config. I stay in India, so everything is given in rupees (Indian currency) where 1 USD = 45 Rs. The PSU and cabinet are from Indian companies, so you'll may not be knowing about them. I have some doubts which are given down below (after my configuration). Please help me out with them! Here is my configuration:
Processor – Intel Core 2 Duo E6400: Rs. 10,500
Graphic Card – nVIDIA GeForce 8600 Ultra: Rs. 10,000
Motherboard – ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP: Rs. 11,000
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) – 200GB Seagate Barracuda Hard Disk @ 7200 rpm or SATA2 Hard Disk: Rs. 3000
Sound Card – Included in Motherboard
Local Area Network (LAN) Card – Included in Motherboard
Random Access Memory (RAM) – Transcend 1GB DDR2 667MHz RAM 2x: Rs. 11,000
Mouse and Keyboard – Logitech G1 Gaming Desktop: Keyboard and Mouse Set: Rs. 2800
Speakers – Altec Lansing 251 or Creative P5800 5.1 Speaker System: Rs. 4,000
Monitor – 17 inch or 19 inch, LCD monitor, 5ms, not widescreen, with DVI port: Rs. 10,000
Web Cam – Logitech QuickCam Easy: Rs. 1,500
Microphone – Logitech Microphone: Rs. 500
DVD/CD Drive – LiteON 20x DVD Writer LH-20A1P: Rs. 3000
Power Supply Unit (PSU) – Powersafe 500W PSU: Rs. 2,500
Cabinet – I-Ball Grabit: Rs. 1,650
Ups – Rs. 2,000
Total Cost: Rs. 73,450
DOUBTS:
1. Do I need anything else other than headphones and a TV Tuner Card?
2. Should I buy the nVIDIA GeForce 8600 Ultra or should I buy 1 of the graphic cards from the ATI R600 series? If so, which ATI Graphic Card should I buy? It needs to be in my budget for the graphic card, i.e., Rs. 10,000 (222 USD). Also the graphic card needs to support DX10 and Windows Vista! Also, I want to know the release date of ATI R600 series and nVIDIA 8600 series.
NOTE: Please give me the model name of the graphic card that you mention.
3. Is a 500W PSU (Power Supply Unit) enough for this configuration or do I need a 550W PSU?
4. Is it advisable for me to buy a DS3 MoBo or the present one?
Thanks,
rokza
