Building a new rig under 25k

Can any one tell me :
Is AMD HD 6670 and HD 6770 (both) gddr5 better than the following:
Ati 3850
AMD HD 4850
AMD HD 5550
Ati X1900 Series
Ati3870
AMD HD 5770

^^Yes 6670 and 6770 both are better than rest you have mentioned.

 

[whitestar_999]

6770 is much better than 6670.6670 is the most powerful graphics card which doesn't require its power through its own connector.6770 & all cards more powerful than 6670 have their own power connector just like cpu,hdd,dvd drive.

HD 3850/70,Radeon X1900,HD 5550 are not worth considering.

On performance basis: HD6670<HD4850<hd5770~hd6770

HD 4850 is quite an old card.Not worth considering it now unless you get an used one with much lesser price.
As of now HD 7750 is the fastest card that doesn't require any external power.
HD6770 and hd 7750 perform about the same while the latter consumes around half the power.

Please tell me out of the two config in which i will get better gaming experience with no lags:

First Config:
(Price-31,000)

Intel Core i3 2120
GIGABYTE-B75M-D3H
Corsair Value Ram 4gb
Cooler Master elite 311 plus
Corsair CX v2 430W
HP drive
HD 6770

Second config:
(Price-32,000)

Intel Core i5 2310
GIGABYTE-B75M-D3H
Corsair Value Ram 4gb
Cooler Master elite 311 plus
Corsair CX v2 430W
HP drive
HD 6670

(bold are the changes between the two config)


PS: Prices are approx. just for reference (taken from flipkart)

 

[whitestar_999]

2nd config has much faster processor but much slower graphics card so for gaming 1st config is better & for everything else 2nd config is better.difference between 6670 & 6770(or equivalent 7750) is ~1500 only so best option would be 2nd config with 6770/7750.

 

[deepanshuchg]

but the i5 is 3k costlier than i3.. it wud cost alot to me

 

[whitestar_999]

if stretching budget is absolutely not possible go with 1st config.

 

[deepanshuchg]

i am thinking the same
and can i save a bit more by getting a cheaper cabinet then this one (elite 311 plus)
As u ppl already know my usage will be basic processing and heavy gamings in low setting (my computer will be switched on for max of 3 hours continuously not more than that)

So can some suggest me a cheaper cabinet if it can fulfill my needs?

 

[whitestar_999]

you can save ~800 by using cheaper cabinet but i don't recommend it.cabinet is a long term use component & unless absolutely not possible one should at least use coolermaster elite(cheapest model) when using a graphics card.in summer such cabinet with front(optional),side(optional) & rear fan are very good in keeping inside temps low & also their look lasts for years compared to cheap cabinets.they also have better quality material used & are more durable.

You want to game right? So stop confusing yourself . After everything being said you are back to square one. Your main the very main requirement is gaming so stop beating around the bush and get a i3 2120 / 3220 / 3225 and a powerful GPU with the Rs 3000 saved over a non required i5 in this case and budget. Or better still get a Intel G630 and an even more powerful GPU it will serve you even better for your purpose.

E.G : an i5 + 6670 = Rs 17000 will fair very bad (read curl up and die) in gaming when compared to a G630 + HD 7850 = Rs 17058. So?

The point is you have to balance the config since you have a budget optimally as per your requirements. You will go seriously wrong if you dont get both ends corrected.

My two cents , rest is your call.

how is i3 2120(6.5k) + hd 7770(9k) ?
as contacted shops in nehru palace todays.. they said hd 6770 is discontinued so better get hd 7770


yeah i wanted gaming but gaming is not my only purpose.. i want it to be durable for daily purposes

 

[whitestar_999]

even a G630 is more than enough for daily/normal usages.

 

[deepanshuchg]

yeah it is durable for now but obv it will stay not longer than i-series specifically i3 in terms of performance.. i.e. i3 will be more durable than g630.. isn't it?

 

[vkl]

Yes,certainly.Better clocks and hyper-threading.

how wud be the above config?

 

[whitestar_999]

7770 is better than 6770 so above config should be good for your usages.

 

[vkl]

Go ahead.It is fine.
HD7770 is available for around 8.2k in smcinternational.

 

[deepanshuchg]
