DIY FTW!
@op; as you mentioned that you require only basic overclocking, there's on sense in getting such expensive motherboards. Just get asus m5a97 r2.0 for 7k.
Garv1386, if you have decided for GTX 660 then get this model: GIGABYTE GV-N660OC-2GD GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA Series Graphics Card
This model is the cheapest GTX 660 I found but don't think it offers inferior quality, It comes with Gigabyte's own Dual Fan custom cooler, already factory overclocked and has hard room for more overclocking and also superb overall design and build quality. At a price of 13.15K, it is really a great buy.
Which one out of both Zotak or MSIActually I am not sure about how Junglee.com is as an Online shop. For a price of 12.5K, the deal looks good though.
Thanks for info Cilus was going to buy itBTW, I have just checked Junglee website and the Zotac card @ 12.6K you're talking about is actually improted from USA and you will not get any warranty here. I was shocked to see that GTX 770 was available at 26K. Checked a little deep and found out those will be imported from USA.
If your purpose is just gaming then surely go for an i5 it beats AMD in gaming by quite a margin.
Thanks, Yes it won't fit budget and also AMD is my personal choice never liked IntelSure it does..
But it won't fit that budget.
Buddy, going with Ivy Bridge which has reached its EOL is not a good option. Granted the Haswell has minimal performance advantage over Ivy Bridge but the point is the availability of Ivy Bridge motherboards in future. Consider a case where after 2 year, OP has a faulty motherboard and there is high chance that he will not be able to find any LGA1155 motherboards after 2 years from now, triggering a whole system upgrade.
Regarding AMD, they have confirmed that Steam Roller CPU will be using the same AM3+ socket. So he is pretty much safe with AMD if future upgrade is the case. And why should Op for an inferior processor by paying extra money? In all multi-threaded applications, FX-8350 is ahead of 3470. Also recent games like Crysis 3, Tomb Raider which can use multi-core processors efficiently, FX-8350 surpass i5 3470.
