Budget Configuration Please

[siddarthmallya]

2kool2btrue- I think that Graphics card will cross my budget.
I got these quotations
FX-6300---------------------------7700
GIgabyte 78LMT USB 3-------------4750
Kingston Hyper X 4 GB 1866 MHZ----3000 ( Recommended by Shopkeeper. Hows it ?)
1 TB WD GREEN Hard Disk-----------3750
Antec VP 450P 450W---------------2900
R7 250 1 GB DDR 5 -----------------6750

Total 28,850

Doubt - 1. About RAM . Is kingston HyperX good ?
2. Is there any differece between "R7 250" and "R7250X" ? I got quotation for R7 250 DDR 5 1 GB .
3 . The motherboard as i said in earlier post supports only 1333/1600(O.C) . Will buying RAM of 1866Mhz will cause any problem ?
4. I can see R7 250 DDR3 2GB priced little higher . Which is better ?

DDR5 over DDR3 anyday !!!

- - - Updated - - -

Kingston HyperX is 2350 at Flipkart. I bought 2x4GB for Rs4500 ( 5000 - 500 offer ) 3 weeks back you can get similar price online if you search a bit.

I would also suggest getting the 750ti, the GPU becomes the main bottleneck just months after purchase, the rest of the stuff is god enough for fairly longer time. Save money on the cabinet and get the 750 ti.

FIFA 15 runs fine on my PC now, it used to stutter when I had the HD6670.

The prices are on the higher side. Get these from Snapdeal instead -
AMD FX 6300 - 7518 - 7% = 6992
GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 Motherboard - 4690 - 7% = 4362
Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz - 2480 - 7% = 2306
Antec VP450P - 2521 - 7% = 2345
Western Digital 1TB Blue - 4525 - 7% = 4209 (You can buy this cheaper locally)
MSI R7 260x 2GB DDR5 - 9705 - 7% = 9206
Total = 29239

If you get the Hard drive locally, you can save around 800 rupees which will bring it down to 28.5k

Do NOT get the r7 250. It doesn't have the horsepower to run today's games in medium settings.

For your other concerns,
1. Yes, it's good. However, RAM is RAM. There is hardly any difference across vendors in real world usage. You would still be better off with Corsair due to their excellent RMA service.

2. Yes there is. R7 250 performs slightly worse(5%) than an HD7750 whereas an R7 250x is a rebranded HD7770 (which is 20% superior to a 7750 so the 250x should be around 25% faster than an r7 250). Avoid both and get the 260x. Fantastic value for money. It performs almost the same as a 750ti but is 1k cheaper.

3. No it won't. The clock speeds get dynamically adjusted by the motherboard. You should have no problems there. However, paying a premium for faster RAM is questionable in this case.

4. DDR5 is anyday better than DDR3 even if it's 1GB less.

OT - Any good FIFA 15 PC players here?

In the last 5 years the only games I have played/completed are GTA IV, GTA IV EFLC, Battlefield 3, Saints Row 3. Play FIFA and CS occasionally, nowhere near regular. Bought the 750ti only to play GTA V. It might sound like a waste of money but people tend to spend so much on processors and ( unnecessary amounts of) ram, I'd say it's better to get a good GPU instead.

I am getting so confused about GPU that i actually may buy other things now and think over GPU again
Actually i will be using this PC for only next 3 months for gaming. Thereafter my dad will be using this . I will be joining job and moving to another place . I wont be able to play new games even if the GPU can!! For next 2-3 years i think FIFA 15 will be the latest game i will be playing . That is why i mentioned only FIFA 15 . FIfa 15 and GTA 4 i want to play. Thats why i am reluctant to spend more on GPU . If i can play FIFA 15 and older games comfortably then i am fine . I am thinking R7 250X .

About buying online :
As i will be leaving this place after few months my dad will use this pc . He does not know a thing about hardwares. I am preferring local dealer because if any problem occurs my dad can call himm for service. Also the local seller will buy my old Components thus some amount i will recover there

Are you sure you want to buy a GPU ? There's absolutely no need for one except for playing games, which you dad, we can safely assume, won't. Why spend 7000 for 3 months of use.

I have a PC having
AMD X2 250 - Rs 2500
Gigabyte M68 - Rs 2200
RAM Kingston 2 GB DDR3 - Rs 800 ( Now replaced with 4 GB Module )

Good enough for home pc use, Browsing, movies, downloading working fine for 3 years.

Get a used 6770 or 7770 from the forums. Will cost you 3k or 4k respectively. You can play FIFA 15 on high settings with 2x AA at 60 fps on a 1080p monitor with both of these
