Basic Guide Purchase a New System

^^ Then get a HD5xxx series card. It is better future proof then the HD4xxx series or the GTS.

Those cards will not run Crysis at 1020x1080 with high quality. Well the FPS would be slow, and lag, at places. Crysis is a difficult game -- when it comes to using it as a benchmark. I am still struggling....!

Try this shop:

Although i have no idea about shops in pune. Coz i do most of my shopping from Mumbai. Prices are cheaper and availability of products are much better.
Krow's config is good. Although if you overclock you should opt for 790GX boards. Biostar TA790GXBE A3+ is available for 5.5k.
HD5770 is good card. DX 11 enabled. But by no means powerful. It comes somewhere around HD4850 and GTX260 in performance. So its your choice. HD5850 is the real deal now in the market. But way out of your budget!

A Big Thanks to both Hell_Storm2006 and Krow!!!!!!!!
@Hell_Storm: Could you tell me an assembler who would provide good Value near my place (I live in Nigdi)
@Krow:I know the GeForce 250 has gr8 performance but i want a future-proof rig as there's no way in hell i'm going to upgrade my comp for atleast 2-3 years so i was thinking DX11 and a HD 5770 does it make sense? Coz i'm not sure if a DX10 card would run DX11 games in the future and i read somewhere that the 5770 is a good buy..
Thanks for saving my ass from that bloddy assembler!!
By the way, can a gts250/HD 4850/5770 run crysis @1920x1080 with High quality?

With GTX 260 / HD 4890 - u can run CRYSIS @ 1920 X 1080 @ high - No problem but u have to disable AA

feel free to ask in forums before every buy - u ll save lot of money !

Still No games are optimized for DX11 , up coming games only DX11

U have to know one more thing !
DX 9 Gives good frame rates up to 10%-15% more than DX 10
Only u ll miss eye candy !

If u ll play all the games @ 1920 X 1080 means (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED card is HD 4890 1Gb )this will handle perfect

Please get ur monitor soon - check out CRYSIS @ 1080p

Ok..but will the HD4890 and GTX260 render average FPS > = 60 @ 1920 x 1080 @ High -- for Crysis/Warhead..? I do not think so.

And as per gaming standards if it is not > = 60 FPS then it can be termed as 'cannot run'.

 

[NVIDIAGeek]

Suggest Uber Gamin' Rig for Rs. 70k.

Nobody!?

30-35 is playable FPS , 40- 45 Fps is smooth , and over 65 will runs fast ! override the game optimized FPS

when i play games @ lower solutions the game runs fast cant aim correctly if its over 100FPS

i played with HD4850 @ 1920 X 1080 in medium settings on crysis

Great...what FPS you get..approximate..?

This is on Medium setting. Usually I run on Enthusiast (motion blur off) @ 1400x900 and get average of 37-38. Crysis is a..... seriously...!

 

[Steerpike]

Hey ,I am doing Architecture,I require HIGH ENd PC Config. for doing 3D designing, rendering , Modelling .,softwares like - REVIT , AUTOCAD, MAYA etc
My Budget is Rs 37000 - 40000. Suggest me the config. plzzzz!

 

[spartan_117]

So should i go for a 4850 1gb or a gts 250 512mb ? both are around 7k..
im mostly going for the rig suggested by Krow but was wondering if i could get a weaker cpu and go for a more faster gpu? because @1920x1080 most games would require a faster gpu as compared to a fast cpu.. so could someone suggest a HD 4870/HD 5770 rig for under 40k..i would be willing to sacrifice on cpu power (x2 instead of x4)to get a better gpu and i could add a stick of ram later so one stick would be sufficient..is it possible? so can someone suggest the required config with relevant prices plz.......

 

[Krow]

@ spartan_117 Slower CPU will bottleneck the graphics card and hence is no solution. Best wait for GPU market to settle down (2 months or so) and then get your GPU. Till then game at 800x600...

 

[spartan_117]

Hmmm....
@Krow:Maybe i could delay the purchase of the graphics but does the mobo u've suggested have an onboard graphics solution?what discreet card can it be compared to?GeForce 9200?9400?
I mean will crysis at-least START at 800x600 on that config w/o discreet graphics?

28 - 33 FPS in medium settings

Because , CRYSIS never uses crossfire - so u r getting fine !! also use the Enthusiast mode in VISTA or WIN 7 , if u use it in XP no use still directX9

With GTX260 - on 1280 X 1024 monitor i got 47FPS , see GTX 260 solidly matches HD 4890 in CRYSIS & fallout 3

Look the video .

[topgear]

The mobo krow mentioned has HD4200 ( RV620 ) IGP onboard. So it will handle most latest games @ 800*600 with low settings easily

You can even OC the GPU ( 500Mhz core ) all the way upto around 700 MHz -800 MHz to gain more performance

Crysis will give you arouind 34 FPS @ 1024*768 with low settings ( GPU core OCEd to 800 MHz )

Hello,
I am considering buying this setup in the mid of January. My max budget is 40K without graphics card, which I will be buying a little later. I will be taking this config. for moderate gaming. Please suggest the best combination possible.....

I have learnt the following rig from this forum--

Dell E1909W 19" @ 7k
AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz B.E. @ 9k
Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600MHz C9 Titanium @ 6k
WD 512 GB Caviar Blue/Green (16 MB) @ 3k
[PSU] GlacialPower 650W AA @ 4.7k
LG DVDRW - 1.1k
Cooler Master Elite 333,334 0r 335 < 2k

Which mobo should I look for which has the best onboard graphics & some overclocking capacity....

Please feel free to make any changes.....

Not doubting you..but this is something fun we can do...! Provided you have the time.

Could you run the Warhead Benchmark tool.

1. Your highest resolution. 1280x1024.
2. All Enthusiast.
3. Run the Ambush level x 3 times (average).
4. Post a screen shot.

I will do the same.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 8.0k
Intel DG45ID 5.7k
Seagate 1TB 4.2k
Transcend DDR2 4gb 4.5k
CoolerMaster RC335 Elite
with 500W smps 4.5k

26.9k

How is this config ?

 

[The Sorcerer]

Which 500w smps? What is the purpose of the system? I hope its a seagate 7200.12 rather than inevitably failing 7200.11 rpm drives.

 

[ashwinnaidu]

coolermaster extreme 500.
I'm considering to buy above mentioned config.
or stretch a little and buy a core i5 system with the following config..

Cooler Master RC335
with 500watts SMPS 4.5k
Gigabtye Motherboard 6.8k
Intel Core i5 10.3k
Corsair 4GB DDR3 6.0k
Seagate 1TB 4.0k
Sapphire HD4550 2.9k

--------
34.5k

Please Suggest. My primary purpose is Java Web development. Need to use ide's that are cpu and ram hungry.

4 GB DDR3 1333Mhz is 4.3K

Get 9500GT instead of HD4550

Rest of the config is good !

 

[comp@ddict]

^^^^^u need a quad core then...

CM Elite 335 @ 1.8k
Gigabyte 460W @ 2.2k
Seagate 1TB @ 4k
MSI 785GM-E51 @ 4.6k
Corsair 4GB @ 6k

Total - 20.8k

That's nearly 14k lesser than the Core i5 budget and 6k lesser than a Core 2 Quad budget..

But u get DDR3 and a good PSU and also onboard HD4200 good enuf for casual gaming...
