Got myself a very basic setup...Config goes like this...

AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core 7750+
Gigabyte GAM61PME-S2 Mobo
Transcend 4GB DDR2 800 Mhz RAM
Samsung 20" LCD
Creative Inspire M4500 4.1
Frontech External LCD TV Tuner Box
Rest is standard stuff DVD RW/Kybd Mouse/etc

Costed me about 25K on the whole, as I said its a basic setup.

Plan a gfx card+powersupply upgrade a few months down the line!

Here's a pic, still need to set it up completely. Speakers are yet to go into their respective positions!

1. which is better in PSU?
TX650W: Welcome to Corsair :: TX Power Supply Product Information
HX620W: Welcome to Corsair :: HX Power Supply Product Information (better?)

How much does each of them cost?
Also, anybody here has GTX260? How is the cooling performance ?

i have another question :


how is the service of dell?
i mean i live in a city and there is no dell service center out here and the servicing part of dell is creating problem as i am concerned about the servicing and donno how will be the service ..they are saying that the engg will come down from kolkata to siliguri and how many days it'll take for repairing and will there will be any hassle in using the computer?...the servicing part of dell is giving me headache!


shud i go for dell or any other brand? [/B]

I am having a Dell Latitude Laptop.I have been using it for last 3 years.It has(d) a 3 year complete cover warranty where DELL will change the parts free of cost and that even covers accidental damage.

Service is great from DELL as they never hesitate to provide parts without any question.The only headache is the frequent/premature failure of parts which is just unpardonable for a company of DELL repute.I have changed parts close to a lakh of rupees in these 3 years and this is not it , even my friends having XPS/Inspiron are facing the same.

If you have any other brand's svc in your city go for it.I wouldn't say DELL is bad but it's good only if you have that golden "complete maintenance cover"

thanks there anvancy.

well am jumping to AMD. couldnt resist.

heres the config (awaiting final comments):
Monitor - Samsung / BenQ 22" fullHD
Proccy - AMD Phenom II 940
Mobo - Biostar TA790GX 128M
Memory - 2x2 Kingston DDR2
HDD - WD Caviar Blue 7200RPM,16/8/2MB Cache
PSU - Corsair TX650W / HX620W
Cabinet - Coolermaster Elite 334 / Coolermaster CM 690
UPS - APC

Will go for GPU later when prices come down and post budget. maybe 4870 or 2x9600GT SLI setup. not sure.

now the final confusion is with PSU and cabinet.

1. which is better in PSU?
TX650W: Welcome to Corsair :: TX Power Supply Product Information
HX620W: Welcome to Corsair :: HX Power Supply Product Information (better?)

2. suggest me a good (and good looking/funky ) cabinet to hold current config.

1. Im using TX650W and completely satisfied with it. I previously wanted HX620 as its modular PSU but was not available. So you go with HX620W.

2. Check the Thermaltake and NZXT cabintes.

I can vouch for the ATI 4850HD I bought mine a few months back and till today I haven't had any lag whatsoever and i'v been playing at 1680 x 1050 with everything on.

Even Crysis Warhead DX10? I havent had the same exp...
