What processor you having??
GPU-Sapphire/MSI HD 6770 or HD6790
Psu- Corsair GS500 Or CX500

get a msi 6850 @ 8.8k from smc. And corsair cx430v2 @ 2.2k. Worth 1k more.

 

[coderunknown]

^^ absolutely. 1k over budget but worth the extra cost. go for it

 

[Pratz993]

i hav i3-530@2.93GHz.BUT MY MOTHERBOARD JUST SUPPORTS 128-BIT MEMORY INTERFACE......HD6850 HAS 256-BIT MEMORY INTERFACE....am i rite?

 

[coderunknown]

^^ your motherboard have a PCIe X 16 slot so you can plug in any GPU with PCIe X 16 connector. It has nothing to do with what, how much or what memory, bandwidth thing your PC has.

+1 .. Or 6770 and a good 500-600wt psu.

Motherboard's pci-e interface will provide all the bandwidth a gpu needs. It has nothing to do with memory interface. 6850's 256bit memory interface is for its own vram.

I think go with Msi 6770 and Corsair cx V2 430w or FSP saga 500w. That will came in your budget and if you can put 1 k more then go with Jaskanwar's suggestion.

@ OP - for the screen resolution you have it's best to opt for HD6850 - don't settle for anything less

I have 5770 and it can handle almost every games with decent resolution and i game at 1920x1080. 6770 can handle 1080p with avg 30~40 fps in almost games. and in some dx11 titles it performs better than 5770.

I never said investing on a 550W or higher PSU was a poor idea, but OP wants to keep the upgrades in 10k range. Balanced performance, is what you look at while considering budget components. There's no point of suggesting a 4-5k worth PSU with a 5k worth GPU.

 

[dibya_kol]

@OP u can think about this ..

Flipkart: Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card: Graphics Card

and

Flipkart: Corsair CMPSU-600CXV2UK 600 Watts PSU: Psu

or

Flipkart: Corsair CMPSU-500CXV2UK 500 Watts PSU: Psu

This is well in ur budget. But i will suggest u to go for 600wt for long run and more headroom.

I never saw in any benchmark that 5770 performing better that 6770. Rather 6770 is better in some games, and a 430/450 wt psu can fulfill OP's requirement for this time but spending on a 550 wt psu is always be a good idea.

a 550W PSu would be an overkill for the cpu and GPU OP is going to get - a cx430v2 / VS450 would be able to handle gpus like HD6850 / HD6790 / HD6770 easily with at-least 6x 120mm case fans plus other components Op has.

@ OP - if you don't want to spend a penny more than 10k then get Sapphire HD6790 @ 7.9k + Corsair VS 450 @ 2.1k or else consider getting HD6850 for 1k more

If 550 wt psu makes u feel "overkill" in this thread, then why u suggested a 850 wt psu in here ?

don't u feel it would be "overkill" as well ?? lol ..

^^ Because on that thread OP has asked for HD 6950 Crossfire. And it is not at all overkill...obviously a 750W will do the job but if OP starts overclocking both CPU and GPU then 800+ watt is recommended.

And here the card is HD 6790 or max HD 6850. So a good 450W will do the job. However, 550W is not an overkill, OP can go with it.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

the thing is op here need not sacrifice gpu for a 550w psu. because cx430 v2 will do the job fine.

for gaming it's HD5770/HD6770<HD6790<HD6850

Don't feel shocked - which 550W PSU you have recommended ? I can only see 500W and 600W PSU recommended by you

they both have different requirements - dfcols71 ( HD6950 CF thread ) did not mention any budget and he has a SB 2500k which can be OCed very well along with 2x HD6950s - the power consumption will increase a lot when he might OC all of them using more volts so I mentioned what would be best for him.

But here Op has a limited budget of 10k for psu+gpu and OP's cpu even when OCed will require around ~130W and a 450W PSu like cx v2 or VS can deliver ~336W on it's +12v rail - now even if Op adds a 10k or below priced gfx card the power consumption won't be anything close to 300W so what he will do with a 500/600 which will cost him 700 bucks more at-least - so he better invest that extra money to get the most powerful GPUhe can and a suitable PSU to make a perfect balance within his budget.

I m going for HD6850 1GB GDDR5 card itz worth rs.9800 on itwares.com and Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W for Rs.2800 on the same site.......if anyone knows any other site that might hav a little less than this plz do suggest......thanks to all for helping me out.....
