Help on core components.

Ah. It’s got no VGA port? LMAO. Silly me.

Guess I’ll have to pick up a low end GPU for temporary usage

Or maybe I should just pick up the Asus M2N-MX the board you guys suggested…I’ll think it over and decide :slight_smile:

or pickup a second hand graphic card from the market section…

Right, I’ve decided to get the 22" Dell from Raghu on market, and I’ll be getting the other parts later on…that 22" Dell is an unbelievable deal.

Sorry for the trouble, but I have a question. Is a 5600+/6000+ AMD x2 a good investment for a non-overclocker? Or would the Core2Duo at the same price point outperform those CPUs?

well get your self a e6600 your better of with a intel if your investing so much on the processor. X-bit labs , AnandTech: your source for hardware analysis and news tomshardware would give you the idea about the speed at different stages look for the applications you would be using the most.

both the C2D E6600 & 5600+/6000+ AMD x2 are a equally good investment for a non-overclocker :slight_smile:

Aren’t 5600+/6000+ both a little cheaper than E6600?

I heard that 6000+ cost Rs 11,500. So should 5600+ which runs at 2.8 Ghz be in 9k range? I would like to save as much money as possible while not compromising on performance

Anyways, would the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 be a good companion for the E6600.

I’m really confused between Intel and AMD though :thinking:

E6600+Asus P5N-E for 21k total would be great :smiley:

but Asus M2N4-SLI+6000+ for 16.5k total won’t be far behind too :slight_smile:
