AMD Gaming Rig around 45k

[RiGOD]

Well well well. I relaxed my mind and thought about it for a while. Anyway I'm spending around 50k for this rig, so why not make it a worthy investment rather than being stubborn about this decision. So if necessary I'm ready to go with Intel guys. I want the best possible beastly rig at this price.

I think its gonna be easy now. Isn't it? BTW will I have to start a new thread for this or finish up the matter in this thread itself?

then it will easily max out at 1600x900 with a 6850 will touch 60FPS + and 30FPS+ is quit enough to game at high i can say the non k version will not overclock a bit ask anyone bro
and if you want to go for a 6870 or 6950 go easily on the motherboard(which i wont recommend when it comes to overclocking)ask for Asrock z68 Extreme 3 Gem 3 that the best motherboard for it price and have seen people overclock their i5 and i7 to 4.5 to 5Ghz on that board on Air
it should cost you around 7000 to 8000 it is available for 122$ on newegg so in INR its Rs.6015.13 i told 7000 to 8000 because everything costs more here

i was scratching my head till now as to why u guyz always propose HD 6850, it always figures even in mid to hi-end configs ? and why not 6950 or even hi-end card.
was reading this review of 6950 and came across this "performance per dollar".
MSI HD 6950 Twin Frozr II 2 GB Review - Page 30/32 | techPowerUp
HD 6850 gives most bang for buck at almost all resolutions along with GTX 460 and HD 5670.
HD 5970, GTX 480 and 5870 offers least bang for buck.
prices were taken from Newegg.

^^^that costs the same buddy the GTX 560 Ti is for 15k and the 6950 for 14k and the 6850 8.8k

 

[RiGOD]

*Hey how about Zotac NVIDIA Geforce GTX 560 Ti? Or is the Sparkle/Palit better?

*Suggest a good cabinet around 3000. Is CM Elite 430 black a good buy?

 

[Tarun]

i would say go with a 6950 2GB for around 14k but will it fit in your budget ?? what config do you have in mind untill now ???

 

[RiGOD]

Intel 3.3 GHz Core i5-2500*- 12000

Intel DH67CL - 5500

Seagate 1 TB - Already have

2 x G.Skill NT DDR3 4 GB - 2400

Corsair GS600 - 4250

Asus DRW-24B3ST - 1150

Logitech MK200 - 800

Dell 20 Inch IN2030M - Already have

Altec Lansing VS2621 - 2250

Numeric UPS 600 VA - 1800

It totals around Rs.30200. So 15k remaining for GPU+Cabinet. I just want to max out stuff on 1600x900. Is GTX 560 good enough for that job? I really don't want to waste my money here as the resolution is low. No plans to upgrade the monitor whatsoever.

This is the best config for your needs. Use your bargaining skills get it at 50K To reduce little buy 6870.

Hey my maximum budget is 45k. I just need a rig to max out at 1600x900. I really don't wanna waste my money for an OC'able processor and board. I'm pretty much settled on the remaining config. Suggest me a good GPU (preferably nVidia) + Cabby @ 15k.

 

[Mr.V]

Haha, I know very well that even an i5-2400 can kick the ass outta this configuration.

Which one would be better?

Only in gaming mate!!!
In 3D max,The core i5 is badly beaten by the 6 core 1090T or even the FX6100.
I am also a Photoshop 3DS max pro user.The difference is clear between the computer at the institution and the computer at home.

Change your words, it's not call wasting, it's call an investment. The things you don't need isn't an waste.

NZXT Gamma + 560 Ti Stock 1GB or Corsair Carbide 400R + 6850

 

[RiGOD]

Which among these should I go for?

NZXT Gamma or CM 430 Black? BTW isn't a GTX 560 (non ti) enough to play smoothly at 1600x900?

First decide on a cabinet:

Do you need a good looking cabinet with sidepanel for show-off?
Then you're good to go with CM 430

Do you need a better cabinet but a cheap looking feeling?
Then Gamma for you

What I would have done if I was in your place?
Got a gamma

May be you would like to check Megamind awesome thread of NZXT Gamma. The thread will make you buy it.

Coming on Gaming:

560 is enough to get smooth gameplay but don't forget about future-proofing. Do you have any plans to re-upgrade in next 3 years?

Get a 560 Ti or 6870 & enjoy gaming.

Super Perfect Config For His Needs.

Jas, Would it be good if he go for 6950 2gb stock one over 1gb custom as games are getting more memory hungry these days? What's your opinion? Also is this the same card that you unlocked into 6970? He games on a 20 inch monitor but 2gb would be more futureproof?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

^thanks.

and yes Sapphire 6950 2GB Dual Fan Dirt3 @ 16k will be better option.
yes, its same one i unlocked.

and yes it will be futureproof.

 

[RiGOD]

Hey how about NZXT Beta Evo? I liked the looks of it than Gamma's. What's the price?

And yes, If I'm going for the GTX 560/560 Ti which make should I go for?
EVGA, Zotac, Sparkle or MSI?

 

[Souro_Ray]

Go for the MSI Hawk edition or twin frozr ii edition. Factory overclocked and with a good custom cooler to boot!

Hope that helped

the core i5 2500k is better then the FX 81xx in almost all fields have a look here
Core i5 vs FX 8150
[YOUTUBE]*www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kd4dvLJQP4[/YOUTUBE]

that gpu might not max out at 1080p but can play on high almost all games with decent 30FPS+

I would like to ask an off topic question.
How does a Core i5 2500k paired with 6870 (in my institution) (1minute) renders slower than the fx8120 (at home) at 37 seconds in 3DS MAX and Adobe Premier Pro (CS 5.5)
