buy TP-Link Router TL-WR841N (300 Mbps) ... i myself using the same purpose as u mentioned above.... Price is 2200 to 2500 approx.. i bought it before 1.5 to 2 months...

i m using with several purposes like mobile wi fi connectivity, internet, gaming, laptop sharing, pc data sharing etc etc..
Remember u have to learn abt these techniques how to use for each purpose...it is something difficult but not impossible..
google searching or pakgamers forum will also help u a lot if u enter in it..
:newbie

must visit at least 1 time as soon as u buy the wi fi router.. i learned so many techniques from there

Hello!
Mujhe aap logon se yeh poochna tha k cooler master extream power 600w sahi rahegi AMD 6950 YA NVIDIA 560 K LIYE No 560 TI Only 560 Kyunk iamextreme pey 560 18,000rs ka mil raha hai very decent price and amd 6950 20,900rs ka mil raha hai al-anum computers pey to meri agar range hui to main 6950 lelunga warna 560 is also good lekin meri psu ki range itni nai hai 4000rs only or us main used miljati hai cm 600w easily so should i face any problem later with it ? i want to run cm 600w atleast for 1 and a half year with no problem then i will buy corsair psu.
And additional notice:
Mera budget 16500 tha 550ti+cm600w ka or czone pey gigabyte 12,800rs ka mil raha tha lekin unko pata nahi kia hua unhonay rates barha diye 14,500 kardiya to ab agar main 14,500rs ka 550 ti hi leraha hun tu thoday paise add karkay 560 hi na lelun jo gtx 460 se bhi 20% faster hai and 6950 muujhe hamesha se hi chahiye tha or mainey aaj hi al anum check ki to woh udher 20,900rs ka mil raha hai baki har jaga 23,500 - 24,000 tak ka mil raha hai to yeh bhi ek achi deal hogi
So now the main problem is psu :( will cm extreme power 600w handle this thing and my pc is very simple it is i3 540 i will oc it to 4.0ghz.
Reviews:
Mainey kuch se poocha to unhonay kaha k yeh psu tumhara baqi hardware bhi kharab karsakti hai or dusri jaga mainey logon ko dekha hai jo yeh psu with gtx 460 1-2 years se without prob use kar rahay hain with i5 and in psu calculator i have checked that my pc only require 433w with amd 6950 so 600w is enough for 40% capacitar aging. lekin cooler master ki psu ko dusray mana kartay hain lekin meri range bohot kam hai mujhe bus 1 and a half year chalani hai yeh psu.
IN SHORT:
Q.WILL MY PC BE FINE ?
Final question :D
Do you guyz know any shop were i can get NVIDIA 550 TI in 12,500 or 12,800rs price
Karachi shops only
And for additional info
I will play at 1280x1024 resolution which is 720p i know 720p is 1280x720
Lekin agar mujhe 550ti is range main nahi mila to i will buy 6950 or 560 depend on range
so later when i update my monitor it will be benifitial
Waise 1 year se pehley lcd update nahi karunga and my lcd can only display 720p
So :)
Thank you for reading this big big post :D

So in short you are asking will CM600 be able to run HD6950 or 560 :/ ? The answer is yes it will run it easily but it is not a good thing to go for used PSU, your budget is 4000 right ? So go for EA500 new from galaxy it is for 3600 rs. BTW is the PSU extreme series ?

a 460 for cs1.6?!!! Even a 4650 or worse would suffice with 1.6.

Please try to punctuate the post. I'm sorry but I couldn't read your complete post.

As for the questions, just get a 6950. Its the best you can get in the price. It beats a 560Ti on both, stock and overclock.

Yes the psu is extreme series
And No 500w is not enough imo psu need space for living or breathing you can say.
I just want to ask that am i safe with cm extreme 600w because people say that you will run fine but one day when you open your pc you will have no display :(
So in short you are asking will CM600 be able to run HD6950 or 560 :/ ? The answer is yes it will run it easily but it is not a good thing to go for used PSU, your budget is 4000 right ? So go for EA500 new from galaxy it is for 3600 rs. BTW is the PSU extreme series ?

Here goes : Which is the cheapest 3D LED monitor (I would prefer it to be 17")? Please tell me fast.

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Me budget = 10.8k PKR.
Ok, so if a 3D display isn't available in that much, please recommend me a monitor within 7.2k

hello to everyone ,
i have a query , i want o upgrade my processor and M.B currently using core 2 duo e7400 and intel dg41wv board.
i am really confused with all the different types in market wanted to buy a core i5 (2nd gen ) 2400 with 3.1 ghz and basic asus board codting around 23500/- rupees . then just yesterday got a new info that AMd has launched its 8 and 6 core processors in FX series . fx 6100 is 6 core processor at 3.3 ghz with turbo boost tech to 3.6 costing around 15600 for processor and around 8000 to 8500 for asus M.B.
then got hold of the news that intel will release its Ivy Bridge processor in feb or march 2012.
please guide me to some future proof solution .
my budget is around 22000 just for proc and M.B .
regards
and thankyou in advance . :)

Forget AMD as Core i5 beats its entire lineup comprehensively
As it stands 1 Single Hyper Threaded Core of Sandybridge is faster than 2 Cores of AMD FX

Core for Core Intel's offering are nearly twice as fast and since 95% of the Applications barely even use 4 Cores there absolutely no need to invest in a 6 Core or 8 Core Processor YET

By the time we actually need that many cores there will be better and cheaper options available


What i would suggest IF ur not in a hurry to wait and see what Ivy Bridge has to offer
who knows for the same price u can get an even faster Processor with lower Power Consumption

Now Core i5 2400 + H67 Board will suit u just fine
Its still one of the fastest Processors currently on the market

If u cannot wait till Ivy Bridge then go for this setup
