My friend wants to buy a new pc..but he is tight on budget..i have suggested the following config is it good...

Mo bo-Gigabyte GA -880 g-ud 3h...
processor-Amd Athlon II x 4 645...
monitor-dell d1920..
2g ddr3 ram...
450w psu...
no graphics card..

what i feel so is taking amd processor can be a good choice if you want to save money with a little compromise in the quality but what i feel like is you should upgrade your ram to 3 gb at least for getting handy performance

Without a graphics card, you can get away with a 300 Watt PSU - may save a few inr. But I would also vote for 3GB of RAM.

I agree with this as well It also leaves the option to buy a graphic card at a later date.

Guys you have misunderstood me..
Surely he will buy a gfx card and better his ram..but for now he can't afford it...!
So is the above config worth buying...?
Or any better processor and mo bo at this price range...?


And thank you all for reply..

The setup you have will work, But I also agree about the ram. I don't know about the prices and availability in your country, but here for $15 more (US) he could get a Phenom II X4 955. The difference would be worth the extra money.

every thing is worth buying but it will annoy you if it will work slowly initially,,, so its better to go for increment of the ram initially it wont cost much

 

[Vinny]

Ok..i will go for 3g ram..any intel processors at this range which is better than amd...?

 

[essenbe]

The only one I could find in that price is Intel Core i3-540 Clarkdale 3.06GHz. It is actually a 2 core processor with hyperthreading. Same price here.

 

[Vinny]

Ok..thanks for the reply...is I3 540 better than athlon2 if yes then suggest me a good mo bo for 540....

Still confused after seeing this comparison...AnandTech - Bench - CPU...
i know 775 socket is not good since it cant be updated to the i's...but the overall score of the e7500 is better than 645..what to do..?
as far as the i3 540 is concerned i dont know its price...
if it costs around the same as the 645 i will surely go with it...
but if its too costly then i cant afford it...
so e7500 or athlon 645 or any other...?

Hi, I think amd won in that comparison, maybe this is what you are looking for.
PS. I know a guy on youtube who can set up budget PCs in a short time, he's really cool
The only thing is that he is in america and always shops at newegg, which only ships to america, but you could give it a try:

If you message him, you can write about that u dont need a video card, just a tip.

ok then i will go with "645"...final question...will i be able to upgrade to higher processors of amd with the same mo bo(mentioned earlier in the thread)...?
