AMD Gaming Rig

[Skud]

The Corsair HX650 was 8.5k & AX750 was 10.8k which is really costly and out of my budget and I really wanted a fully modular PSU.So I went with the Seasonic X660.Also 7870 is steamrolled by 660 in many tests that I have seen in several reviews.

Guess you have confused with 660Ti, the 660 is a much slower card:-

Of course, individual benchmark results will vary.

If its GTX660Ti you are going with, good, but if are thiking to go with GTX660 not-ti version, then let it be known that there are better cards for the same price, especially HD7850

gtx 660 is better value for money imo..
According to the chart provided we can conclude the following:
GTX 660 for Rs14500 provides 136.5% performance
GTX 660 Ti for Rs19500 provides 150.7% performance
So to get 15% performance you have to pay 30% more.. That is nuisance ..

ON THE OTHER HAND HD7870 @ 16.5K IS THE BEST CHOICE AVAILABLE IN THE MaRKET

Even that's an older chart, with newer drivers things will be bit more skewed towards AMD cards. In any case, a 660 below 15k is not a bad deal IMO apart from its 192-bit memory bus width.

If you have the extra budget, the 7870 is a steal though.

GTX 660 Ti is out of my budget so I think 7870 & 8GB 2133MHz ram also can be put in the config which comes to total-69.55k as my budget is only 70k. Thanks guys for helping me decide on a very good config which stands as follows:

AMD FX 8350 -11900,
Biostar TA990FXE -8300,
Gigabyte 7870 2GB OC -16500,
Intel 335 240GB SSD -10500,
Seasonic X660 -7500,
Corsair 300R -4250,
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2133MHz -4200,
Corsair H60 Cooler -3700,
Asus 24B5ST DVDRW -1000,
CM 120mm BLUE LED Fans 4Pcs -1700.
TOTAL -69,550.

Can I fit GTX670 in a budget of 25k I mean if I can extend my budget by another 10k.Now GTX660 is 15k + 10k=25k will GTX670 come within this or not? don't know.Also will GTX670 performance exceed 7950.

Hi bavusani,
Im planning to buy pc in Arun computers wld u plz refer me any person as I am going to purchase

what is the configuration you want to buy and when.please mention and also the budget OK. If you want to buy definitely from Arun Computers only, you can call Mr.Raghu (9849457428). He is the boss of Arun.He always gives fair prices only compared to other computers shops at least other shops will quote 10% extra on overall budget.So ask only for Mr.Raghu and tell him that sunil (I bought my PC in May,12) sent you.OK.Also PM me your contact number.OK.

As for GPU I would suggest you to go for Sapphire, their ASS was good when I needed.

Biostar TA990FXE, the choice of Motherboard is really poor. Biostar 880FX board comes with a 4 Phase Analogue VRM which is not at all suitable for good overclocking in long run. Get either Gigabyte GA-990FX-UD3 @ 9.5K or MSI 990FXA-GD65 at 9.03K.

I asked opinions regarding the best future proof config keeping in mind present Piledriver and future Steamroller which are based on the same AM3+ chipset as the life period of my rig will be extended by another 4 years.Some have suggested i5 and some have suggested FX as my preference is the latter one.I decided to go for AMD based RIG.

As for the configuration decided upon I have the following config in mind:

AMD FX 8350 -11900,
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 -13500,
Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X -22000,
Intel 335 240GB SSD -10500,
Seasonic X660 -7500,
Corsair 300R -4250,
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz -3000,
Corsair H60 Cooler -3700,
Asus 24B5ST DVDRW -1000,
CM 120mm BLUE 4 LED Fans -1700.
TOTAL -79,050.

I have finally decided to extend my budget by 10k and get a good MB like Asus Sabertooth 990FX. and a good GPU like Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X.

"Any suggestions are most welcome in this regard".

No we are saying that AMD provides better VFM than Intel.

IMO crosair 400r would be better for you....

I bought Corsair HX650 @ Snapdeal for 7878 INR with interest free 6 month EMI
CORSAIR CMPSU-650HX 650 Watts PSU - Buy Computer Components @ Best Price | Snapdeal
Received it in 4 to 5 days after placing order and packaging was also very good.

The Corsair HX650 was 8.5k & AX750 was 10.8k which is really costly and out of my budget and I really wanted a fully modular PSU.So I went with the Seasonic X660.Also 7870 is steamrolled by 660 in many tests that I have seen in several reviews.

EXCUSE me if I am posting in the wrong Section I don't know where to post this:-

I wanted to know how much can I sell my old Intel RIG for: Actually it cost me 61.9k in May,2012.
The flipkart prices are actually overpriced but I am posting the wishlist as it will give a rough idea as to the present cost and how much I can actually sell the components in the cabinet.

Flipkart.com: Bavusani-6281's WishList: bavusani-6281 Wishlist

But I got a Quotation of my old RIG from Arun Computers and PL.Computers from CTC,Secunderabad which is as follows:
I bought whole RIG except CPU from Arun Computers (Secunderabad) and 3570k from Golchha Computers (Bangalore)

Intel Core i5 3570k -13950,
Asrock Z77 Extreme4 -10500,
Sapphire 7850 2GB OC -14500,
WD Caviar Black 1TB -6000,
Corsair GS600 -4600,
Corsair 400R -5000,
CM Hyper 212 Evo Cooler -2200,
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz -2850,
Asus 24B3ST DVDRW -1000,
CM 120mm RED LED 2 Fans -900.
