hey guys i am finally buying new pc after long time, so wanted help with configuration, i don't want to buy branded pc from dell and hp as they cost more

this is what i need in the budget of 550$ / 400€
Case/Cabinet
Processor
Motherboard
Memory
Hard Drive
Monitor
Speakers
Keyboard
Mouse
Power Supply

Thanks

It costs more than you have, but imagine how shit this 700$ setup is and how shittier the 500$ setup will be.

If you happen to rob a bank, you should get these instead so you can say that you have a real PC:


You should aslo get a Cooler Master HAF series chasis. I have HAFX:


Additional notes:

If you have an old chasis, use that one. It will save you that 25 bucks. Old keyboard and mouse? Another 50 bucks.
Use stock fans (the fan that comes with the CPU) and get low amount of RAM. Also ditch the optical drive.
Don't get a crappy chasis and a weak power supply.

thanks

i was looking for the new AMD APU A6 3650 are they any good ? is anyone here using them ?

Aren't they for netbooks and stuff like that? If you want a really cheap CPU/GPU combo, you can get AMD Athlon II X2 260 and XFX HD-557X-ZHL2 both for 65 bucks each. (130$ total which saves you another 75 bucks.)

If you are sure that you are never going to upgrade, you can also pick a cheaper motherboard and power supply:

The motherboard and the power supply might not handle the stuff you want to add later. At least I'm sure that you can lower this down to 500 bucks if you buy a 500GB hard drive, find cheaper speakers and get a regular mouse instead of a gamer mouse. (You are not going to game a lot with that anyway.)

If you really really want to make this cheaper, don't even buy the graphics card and use the on-board ATI Radeon HD 4250. (That would save you 65 dollars.)

Hard Drive Western Digital 1TB Green - 66$
Motherboard ???? need help
RAM Crossair XMS III 4GB DDR3 - 45$
Monitor ViewSonic VA2038wm-LED 20 inch 138$
keyboard,mouse Microsoft combo - 16$
power supply are bundled ones with case good ? or else suggest one


for chassis and speakers i will go with cheap ones
i need help with motherboard
if you can suggest better config then please post it

That CPU should be compatible with any AM3 motherboard. ASUS (my favorite), MSI and Gigabyte are good mobo manufacturers.

I would get ASUS M4A88T-M AM3 (80$). The other one I suggested is 5 dollars cheaper but it doesn't support USB 3.0. You might also want to get a case with USB 3.0 front panel connectors so you won't have to crawl back to get USB 3.0 speed.

About the stock PSU, some people say you can fry your rig with those, I don't think so. Many people use stock power supplies, just make sure it can provide what you need. (Around 300W and 400W should be fine.)

If you want to buy a separate PSU (which would be throwing away a bit of your money), you can rely on Corsair, Thermaltake and Antec. (I have a High Power PSU which is not very recommended but I don't have any problems with it.)

I think you can get RAM cheaper if you don't got for brand names (or at least not Corsair, there are also good brands that are cheap, like Kingston or G.SKill).

thanks

is there any motherboard that has usb 3 and sata 6Gb/s ? the one you suggest is good but doesn't come with sata 6gb/s
i am ready to spend more on motherboard and processor
is there any website that has list of all motherboards and processors for intel and amd ?

You can look at Newegg.

ASUS M5A97 and M5A97 PRO have 6GB/s SATA ports but they only have 2 USB 3.0 slots and they are in the back.

Looks like you got an APU after all. Interesting!

So, what OS do you use? Can it handle Windows 7? What games can you play with it? How does it perform? Do tell

.

It is a good office configuration.

This. RAM is cheap as hell, get more, at least 4GB. Also, if it's for Office you likely won't notice a difference between 1333Mhz and 800Mhz RAM.

And as soon as the APU's graphics part is being used there's a huge difference between 1333MHz and 800MHz. We are talking about a Llano here after all.

But you are correct, he should get at least 4GB, especially as you'll be loosing 256MB or 512MB (depends on your settings) for the graphics.
