    question Ordering peripherals from US need help in selection

    Hi everyone,

    My father is coming to India from US and I need help selecting the right peripherals for my PC as I have lost touch with latest peripherals.

    My Current PC config is Windows XP
    M/B Asus P5K deluxe wifi/ Proc:Core 2 quad 6600 2.4
    RAM Trancend DDR2 667 / GPU Nvdia7900 /
    PSU Antex NEOpower 550 /Cabinet: Old Coolermaster wavemaster
    HD: WD green 650GBX2 WD Raptor X1 Seagate 7200.8 400GB X1

    Use of PC:
    Speech recognition softwares
    Watching HD/Blueray rips
    Ebooks/browsing/MP3
    I am a Medical professional not much into games. But good GPU/CPU doesnt hurt.

    I want Windows 7 compatibility and DX 11 support as a Dual boot system.

    Please suggest me From US budget $1500
    1.High end GPU that will fit into my cabinet
    2.Reliable PSU that will suit my system and for long term use
    (My current PC doent do Cold boots half the time, so I keep it running 24/7 gues power proble)
    3.Best possible Processor that will run on my board (most coolers dont fit into cabinet only default)

    4.I am not sure about new FAST RAM from US because of copmatibility issues.
    My last Gskill import didnt work too well with mobo.

    Optional: From India budget Rs.7500/-
    5.Easy to use swapping HDs ect Mid tower cabinet

    I was thinking about getting alienware from India fro warranty but price looks too high.

    I do not wish to change the mobo and HD as I will have to install 100s of softwares again. No OCing. no games.

    Please reply as soon as possible.

    Thank you and warm regards,

    Basically if you are planning for an upgrade the old system then you have first look for only those hardware which supports your motherboard. Many times the system restarts again and again after implementing a incompatible hardware. Other than this I will recommend you Q6600, QX9650 or 5000 + black edition processors as the best choice for all purpose.

    Thanx for reply,

    I already have q6600
    Processor I am thinking about Core 2 Quad Q9550S 2833 MHz 65 W (from INDIA)
    Is it worthy upgrade?

    Dont know how much qx9650 costs in India or 5000 + black. POST stable OClock is performance good enough to compare with basic core7i

    My M/B has PCI express 1.1
    GPU: Sapphire ATI Radeon™ HD 5870 (from US) US $ 400

    Is processor going to be bottleneck or the PCIe 1.1 ?

    Corsair because of international warranty

    RAM:from US (upto $200)
    Corsair Dominator 4GB PC2-8500 DIMM Memory Kit OR
    Corsair Dominator DHX 4GB DDR2 DIMM Dual channel Memory Kit

    PSU for future proof
    Corsair HX1000W (US $ 250) , dont think this is available in India.

    Please comment on my selection and
    Suggest me a 1.Mid tower easy 2 use cabinet to buy from India ( budget Rs 7500) and a CPU cooler from US (US $ 150)


    Suggestions are welcome.
