A Gaming Machine For Rs 60,000
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Jul 14, 2008

Graphics: Sapphire Radeon HD 4850

It’s been a very long time since ATI even found a mention in one of our roundups. In a market that's been completely dominated by Nvidia, the reemergence of ATI through its 4850 series is a most welcome move.

The brand we've chosen is Sapphire, which has been ATI’s top OEM for a while. This has 512MB of GDDR3 on a 256 bit bus, has a core clock speed of 625 MHz along with a memory clock speed of 993 MHz, and supports PCIe 2.0. It offers a variety of display options including dual DL-DVI-I+HDTV. The card also supports DX10.1 and SM 4.1, and is fully compliant with ATI CrossFireX multi-GPU technology. Check out this link for further details and specifications.

Sound (onboard): Realtek ALC888
The Realtek ALC888 is an excellent 8.1 multi-channel capable sound chip which makes it perfect for both gaming and movies.

LAN (onboard): 10/100/1000
This is the standard Gigabit onboard 10/100/1000 LAN that gives a maximum transfer speed of 1000 Mbps. It's fast enough to take care of your broadband internet.

man .....!! This is a gaming rig and no gaming device .......!! This thing should be understood by all that no powerful computer can be a gaming rig else it has somthing other than power and performance to differentiate it with other ones and give a console-like feel .....!! So give it a Gamepad .....!! And if possible a Gamewheel .....!! else it remains just a rig ....!!

if u have rs.60000 to burn, burn on this config
Motherboard - Abit IP35-E - 5400
Processor - Intel C2D 8400 - 7600
Cooling - Cooler Master Hyper 212 - Rs.2100
RAM - Transcend 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800MHz 3.6k
GPU - SapphireHD 4870 512MB GDDR3 - 11.5K
HDD - Western Digital 640GB SATAII 4k
Cabinet - Cooler Master 690 ATX 4k
SMPS - Corsair VX450W - Rs.3250
Optical Drive - 1.2k
Monitor - dell 22" - 16k
Keyboard - Logitech Multimedia .5k
Mouse - Logitech MX518 1.3k

Total - 60K

for those who dont' want a 22" lcd, go for a 19" u can save Rs.6 K which u can spend on a good speaker system

@ shanal : it's the right price. you might've been robbed.
@abhijit : if you're going for quad-core, might as well get the 9450 .. the 6600 is 65nm, with not-so-great reviews. just a suggestion though, i'm sure the 6600 works more than fine :)
Shrey @ Aug 08, 2008
Western Digital SATA II 500GB is really 3250rs or is miss print as i recently 2 month ago bought the same for 5200rs.
shanal @ Aug 04, 2008

An Intel Q6600 is a much better future proof option. You get 4 cores, plus the ability to overclock the CPU to 3.0 GHz. And 2 GB!? You've got to be kidding me. Go for ATLEAST 3 GB.

Pick a smaller monitor. 1440 x 900 is an ideal resolution given that the config uses the HD 4850.
Abhijit @ Aug 04, 2008
Good Config.... Though i'd push down the processor one notch and load up on more RAM. 3GB is needed for smooth Win Vista usage in multi-tasking enviros.
Karthik Kumar @ Aug 03, 2008
how do we calculate that how big psu we need for r rig??? I mean hw do we decide weaher we should get a 300W PSU or a 450W or a 600W or a 800W

ANd as far as my opinion about this article [m not saying bout my opinion about diff people's opinions] is concerned that was jus an improvisation to the article so shut the fuck up!!
Nikhil Jain @ Aug 01, 2008
It seems Mr. Madnav [posted on 23 July] and Mr. Rajesh [also posted on 23 July] are annoyed with me......!! I am really sorry ....!!!

@ Madnav
kk!! I knew that earlier but actually I also knew that its an ATI product and costing much less than 9600....!! So i was not much convinced weather its really that good.......!! But now as I've heard this from many many people I am very much convinced about its power and performance...!! ut i still need to know this from a prson who has actually seen both the graphic card's prformance in his real life to be fully convinced....!!!

@rajesh
sorry man I didn't know about enthusiast brands like Corsair and Bose....!! When i gotta knew the power and market reputatition of Corsair i wanted to delet my comment but that was not possible...!!
Nikhil Jain @ Jul 29, 2008
mr nikhil jain is the biggest tool on the planet.... he has opinions without having a clue as to what is right..

he has earlier asked "what brand is this corsair"
rajesh @ Jul 23, 2008
"i guess xfx nvidia geforce 9600 GT is bettr dn d dis 4850!! both cost jus d sam!!" --- Nikhil Jain @ Jul 16,2008

^^
was that suppose to b some joke?
HD4850 competes with 9800GTX.... 9600GT is basically another 8800GS
madnav @ Jul 23, 2008
nvidia gtx9800+ for rs 8000
ati radeon 4850 for rs 7000

gr @ Jul 20, 2008
Top tip for the lazy gamers:
man get a 360 for like 15-18k, then get a good 22-24" screen for 15k+, get a nice lazboy chair and live life with awesomeness......
Madan @ Jul 17, 2008
I would not with abit by any chance. I would rather go with ASUS or Gigabyte for MB's here would be my ideal gaming system.

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
ASUS P5Q Motherboard
Kingston 4GB DDR2@800 MHz
Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme cooler
CoolerMaster 650W Extreme Power supply
Palit HD4850
Seagate 500GB @ 7200RPM
LG/Samsung 20x DVD-RW
Dell 20" Moniter

one thing to mention Tech2 have not added any 3rd party cooler in this review which would be recommended by me for all Gaming rigs. the little Intel stock cooler isn't good for a heavy gaming rig
OJ @ Jul 17, 2008
I prefer Intel Extreem series Boards for their build quality, rather then Abit
i dont really like the name.

Remaining mentioned things are quite resonabel
i mean ..not bad
shreeshka @ Jul 16, 2008

Nikhil Jain @ Jul 16, 2008
8.1 Sound???? I guess you mean 8 channel sound, right?
Raunak Mehta @ Jul 15, 2008
why not use an original Intel MB and why do you always insist on a Kingston Ram, use GSkill or Crosair
av @ Jul 15, 2008
can u tell the price of ati Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 ?
vidhu @ Jul 15, 2008
@ AMIT SALUNKE = in which world you are living ? Radeon HD4850 is the card which falls between Geforce GTX 260 & 280 considered performance. Geforce 8800GT is way too old now. Radeon HD4850 certainly beats it up that too by a long margin
