Buying a new Desktop PC

[Cilus]

I think I might add on one more to the board later.

BTW people, is MSI Z68A-G45 (B3) good?

That's a wrong pic of info and that's why I've edited that post. A graphics card can only be benifited from Gen3 bandwitdh if it can provide much bandwidth than the maximum bandwidth of PCI-E 2.1 specification. If a Gfx card can't provide that much banwidth then no matter how many cards you use on your board, there won't be any bottleneck.

AsRock = Asus downgraded asrock is a part of asus but makes budget based motherboard the only thing is that the customer care is not up to the mark and thus the dealer no not sell Asrock motherboards

asrock parted from asus long ago to compete with manufacturers having low cost boards AFAIK. its no longer a part. correct me if i am wrong though.

and they have high end boards too.

Why are you suggesting 950? An i5-2500K/i7-2600K +P67/Z68 combo is better than this combo. Above all, this config would have been a great config 1 year ago.

 

[$$Lionking$$]

Tarun - 960T is available in Indore for the said price....

d6bmg - 950 trades blows with i5 2500 @ stock speeds. if you're not going to OC u can buy 950 vs i5 2500. also the board mentioned will support 2 x16 + 1 x8 PCIe lanes.. its overall a better platform and same performance too if you're opting for i5.

AMD | Intel |ATI

Make|Table|5500
Table|Make|9500

Lanes are the reason. Sandy Bridge as a platform sucks for multi-GPU. i5-2500k isn't mich faster than i7-950 really. Clock to clock they are more or less same, it's just that i5-2500k overclocks crazy and it is power efficient.

But yea, he should get i5-2500k + Z68. Most guys don't buy two GPU anyways. i7-950 is end-of-line.

ico - X58 is more exotic vs P67/Z68. Also proper OC options that are fun to play with 2500k is just too easyyyyyyyyyy.............

Although im going buy a 2500k too... got a P67A-UD7!!!

Got ur 880g+965?? Hows it performing vs 2500k?

OT: not everyone is expert in overclocking by voltage tweaking.

Although im going buy a 2500k too... got a P67A-UD7!!!

Why 2500K? Go with 2600K. Few more bucks but worth it.

 

[$$Lionking$$]

d6bmg - Dude, no money for 2600k - hardly any money for 2500k..
Its totally worth it but cant buy - dont have that kinda cash!!!

 

[chiragddude]
