review my build so far :
BIOSTAR TZ77B LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS - $100
Core i5 3450 3.1GHz LGA 1155 Processor - $150
ZOTAC AMP! ZT-50302-10M GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB - $ 187
CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 - $30

Total - around $470

Please improve on my build and give me suggestions. Thank you

Also , is it worth getting the 7850 over the cheap 560ti ?

 

[Cilus]

^^ If you get all those products from US then obviously you'll get at a cheap price but at the same time you won't be getting any Indian warranty with those products.

 

[digit1191]

But if i buy from there i can get ivy bridge. here i cant get a good config. or can i?

pls tell me if these components will be compatible. motherboard and CPU and GPU.

 

[Cilus]

Since the Processor you're buying is a Non-K series and can't be overclocked, you should get a H77 based Motherboard.
MSI H77MA-G43 @ $90 is a good buy.
560 Ti
For Graphics card, pick up HD 7850 2 GB GDDR5 instead of 560 Ti which is older gen and far lesser performer. GIGABYTE GV-R785OC-2GD Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 @ $250 is perfect choice.

 

[digit1191]

ok i ll consider getting the 7850

i ll get this MSI board and try to get HIS IceQ X H785QN2G2M Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

 

[desiJATT]

Yes, go with that MSI board, but for HD7850, try to find Gigabyte or Sapphire cards because of their dual fan cooling designs. You can get them from Newegg.

 

[digit1191]

i found gigabyte and sapphire cards. the sapphire card is cheaper by $10. but gigabyte is oced to 975 core. which one do i get? shall i get sapphire and OC it myself

 

[Sainatarajan]

You can get I5 3450 From OASIS COMPUTERS in RITCHIE STREET .

You can get I5 3450 + DH77KC for 20K

 

[digit1191]

if i get it from US it is gonna cost me $240 dude. 13,000 INR
i5 - 3450 + MSI H77MA-G43
And is the sapphire ok? i have to pay $10 more to get igabyte. sapphire is gonna be around $258

 

[Cilus]

But for that $10, you will get a highly overclocked card which will offer you better performance in gaming.

 

[digit1191]

Cant i OC the sapphire card to the gigabyte specs myself ?

i saw that the MSI board is mATX. is that going to be a problem? like heating issues and stuff? what if i get GIGABYTE GA-H77-DS3H instead? it is ATX

 

[Sainatarajan]

You can get I5 3570K + ASUS P8Z77 V LX for $280 .

 

[digit1191]

i have save up $$ for GPU dude. is the mATX board fine ?

 

[Sainatarajan]

You can buy ATX board .

 

[digit1191]

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-H77-DS3H LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard i ll get this. this is ok ?

 

[Sainatarajan]

the specs r good

 

[digit1191]

The whole setup will be compatible right. so shall i finalize ?

 

[Tech_Wiz]

I envy you. So darn cheaper to get rig there than here :$

 

[digit1191]

so will the i 5- 3450 + gigabyte /sapphire / HIS 7850 + GIGABYTE GA-H77-DS3H be a good buy ?

 

[Sainatarajan]

Definitely My Friend . Try to get the I5 3570K + P8Z77 V LX for $ 280 .
