why overclock/FX8320/Rs.7000 cooler when all that is listed under main usage/purpose is games?at full HD resolutions graphics card is much more important than processor & i don't think there will be a game coming in next 4 years which will list minimum requirement to even install as 6/8 cores & even if it does rest assured that no current system of today will be able to play that game smoothly.non-k core i5+a powerful graphics card is more than enough for gaming currently & for coming 3-4 years not to mention power savings as overclocking 8320(or even core i5) is quite power consuming.

 

[marvelousprashant]

I agree. OP mentioned over clocking and ashish suggested a great non over clocking rig. If he wants to go with non ocing, he can go with ashish's suggestion with probably Kingston 120gb v300 ssd and caviar blue for storage

Hello everyone, I have decided not to OC my processor and am going with the following rig,mostly suggested by ashish:
i5 4670 - 15750
gigabyte h87m- 7767
kingston Hyperx blue 4GB x 2-4806
Corsair TX 750- 7200
sapphire dual x R9 280x -24315(just paid to MD Comp online)
WD Blue 1TB- 4100
Antex Gx 700- 4400

I have bought a 26" Sony bravia so no more monitor.
Any comments?

 

[marvelousprashant]

For a single r9-280x, seasonic s12ii 620w is sufficient and it is a very good psu.

Better spend extra money on asus 280x (24.5k on md computers. Call them to see if they can change your order. Sapphire is equally good but asus has better service) and get Corsair 400R instead of gx 700

 

[ASHISH65]

Get Seasonic s12 620w

cpu price is too high. try to get i5 4570 under 14k.
you can get seasonic s12 ii 620/ m12 ii 650

I can get 4570, but was thinking 4670 is better.Are suggesting that the price to performance ratio is lower in 4670? I think can afford that much(if its merely 1K) unless there is any other reason.
The specs given with all the R9 280X is that it requires 750W. so if I plan to Crossfire it, shouldn't I take >=750w? I mean I get that only R9 280x will work with 620W, but to be future proof is 750W an overkill?

at what price are you getting i5 4570?
if you may CF later, get seasonic m12 ii 750. you can also consider tx 850v2,750 v2 etc. but my vote goes for seasonic

that mobo supports CF

Just to make sure, you are talking about gigabyte H87m DH3, right? The official page specifies the PCIe slots to be x16 and x4 and no were mentioned that they will run at x8-x8 in CF.

OP mentioned h87M.also CF works with X16-X4 speed but not recommended

 

[harshilsharma63]

Sorry, typed the other board name. i wa also referring to h87M DH3. CF in x16-x4 is not at all recommended. OP shouldn't even consider the thought of CF on that board. Anything below x8-x8 is essentially useless.

 

[ASHISH65]

Why the heck you need xfire for single 1080p screen ? r9 280x is enough for high end gaming

 

[prathmesh]

wao.. these replies cleared my mind. Thank u all .. I got the point of not taking 4670. and I didn't know x16-x4 CF is useless.
And about 750W requirement, Sapphire's oficial page, MD comp's details page, everywhere it's mentioned like that.750W.
If I am not CFing, then I think 620seasonic(80plus bronze) is best.
between,MD comp did not process my payment for sapphire dual x r9 280x as it just went out of stock. So I will go with the asus one.
