Budget upgrade for 25k

**ksanket** · 02-12-09, 12:24 PM

Old proccy mobo and gpu sold to a needy person.

Now have zebby bijli cabby, 19in viewsonic lcd, circle mouse/keyboard, altec lancing vs4121, 160+80gb sata st.

New system will be used for 3dmax and adobe premiere.

Upgrading on a tight budget of 25k.

VX 450- 4k

xfx 9800gt- 5.8k (is galaxy also good?)

ddr3 transcend 2gb - 2.7k

now help me on processor on mobo combo.

P.S: suggest something better than athlon 620 as it doesnt have L3 cache.

PhenomII X2 550 - 5.2k

MSI 785GM-E51 -4.6k ( DDR3 mobo )

Transcend 2gb DDR3 1333 - 2.6k

Corsair CX 400 - 3.1k

ATI 4870 512mb - 8.6k ( 1000 times better than 9800gt )

Total - 24.1k

You can unlock Phenom II x2 550 to Phenom II x4 955 with right proccy batch nos.

PhenomII X3 720 - 6.3k(Quad core)

MSI 785GM-E51 -4.6k

Transcend 2gb DDR3 1333 - 2.6k

Corsair VX450 - 4k(5 yrs warranty)

ATI 4850 512mb - 6.5k (for a 19" this would suffice. No need to spend extra)

Total~24k

Unlocking a PhenomII 550BE is not 100% guaranteed. So a phenomII X3 720 wil provide you the extra core and also extra cache

3d work needs to have a quad core, coz an extra core does makes a lot of difference.

Now 720be is shifted with its 4th core disabled. (i got new 720 so unlucky)

And 550 not guaranted too.
