Gaming rig confused ??

[Vikash Kandoi]

I wanted to assemble a gaming pc with a budget around 60-65,000. I have came up with following configs, please let me know if these configurations are correct or i need to make any changes for better gaming performance. I am especially confused with Processor after looking at killer rig section in the magazine.

Config.
Intel i7 950
Sapphire or XFX ATI HD 5850
Intel MS58SO extreme motherboard
Trichannel 3x2gb Ram
1TB 7200rpm Seagate HD
500 GB 7200 rpm HD (Mainly for backups)
21' Viewsonic LED HD monitor
500w Goldkist PSU

these are my basic config and should come under 65000. Please help me.

if u r bustin 65k on a gamin rig then better get 6870!!Moreover which brand is the PSU from?

AMD X6 1055T @ 10000 ---------- X4 965 @ 9000 if can't exceed at all.
MSI 890FXA-GD70 @ 10000
GSkill Ripjaws DDR3 1333MHz 4GB @ 4500
ATI HD 6850 X2 Xfire @ 22000
Seagate 7200.12 1TB @ 2700
Benq G2220HD @ 7500
Corsair TX750W @ 7000
CM Elite 430 @ 2700
TOTAL 66400.

I think 6850 X2 will need more powerful PSU than 550W.

^^1055t not meant for gaming.

@Vikash Kandoi
core i7 is a good choice but your rig is lacking in a good gpu for gaming.
core i5 760 is another good deal for gaming beating everything in its range. moreover when combined with 6850 crossfire it will be deadly.

Intel Core i5 760 @ 10k
MSI P55 GD65 @ 7.9k
Gskill Ripjaws 1600Mhz 4 GB DDR3 Kit @ 4.5k
Sapphire Radeon 6850 * 2 @ 23k
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB @ 2.8k
Corsair TX750W @ 6.9k
CM Elite 430 @ 2.7k
Benq G2220HD 22" @ 7.3k

Total - 65.1k

Good config by Jas, though I would go for tri channeling with i7.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

^you mean i7+x58+tri channel but thats what he wrote first. as i mentioned it will be lacking in gfx department.

Sorry didn't read your post properly. I somehow saw a i7 960.

Annoying board. Flash it 1.8 ver. bios or newer if you are planning to use this.

Corsair TX750W @ 6.9k

Avoid for many reasons as newer ones aren't like the older ones. In any case, cable management with that case is as good as Crocodile dundee wrestling Magila Gorilla.

VX550/seasonix s12II-500 is bare minimum or switch to HX650.

Vikash- If you want an X58 setup only,
Intel i7 950 - 14.1k approx
ASUS TUF Sabertooth X58 motherboard (TUF components, ceramix heatsink coating, 5 years warranty and price below 13K)
ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
ASUS TUF Sabertooth X58 review
Asus Sabertooth X58 motherboard Review
3 X 2 GB DDR3 1600Mhz Corsair 6GB kit - 8K approx
1TB Seagate 7200.12 - 2.7K approx
Corsair VX550W - 4.5K-4.7K approx
NZXT Gamma - 2.1K
22" 1080p LCD monitor- 8K approx
Total- 52.6K approx
Add a HD6870 (approx 15K iirc)
