best budget graphics card for core i7 2600k + dz68db mobo

[devj1988]

Hi,

I am about to purchase a core i7 2600k + intel dz68db mobo combo. I am an Intel employee and can get both for Rs 12000. I want to build a gaming rig using these within a budget of 25k (+ 12k).

What graphics card should I chose ? is msi 460 gtx hawk good ? I am also planning to buy 4 GB RAM and a 22" monitor.

Regards,
Dev Jyoti

@OP: As you are building a gaming rig, and nowadays games are getting more & more resource hungry, you should opt for 2 modules of Ripjaws X 4GB modules. 8GB ram is descent in present rigs.

Gskill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL runs at 1600 MHz. I am buying the Intel dz68db mobo which supports upto 1333 MHz only.

You may consider GTX 560 ( 12K) or GTX 560Ti (13~14K).
