Confused in rig configuration

damngoodman999

damnbadman666
whats the reason?

Intel processors This one - sandy bridge produces less heat also much powerful than Corei5 or phenoms

ONLY PROBLEM U CANNOT OVERCLOCK


Performance wise SANDY BRIDGE is good value for money !

15K is nice combo for mobo + proccy

Also dont get FSP saga better buy Tagan /corsair VX450 !

First of all Dell ST2220L has been discontinued.
Its been replaced by Dell ST2220M, which has light-bleed issues.

The BenQ G2220HD, as suggested by mailme.manju, is very good and costs less than the Dell ones above.

who told you dell st2220l has been discontinued.? st2220m is just the non HDMI version.

^^ You are right and I think he meant the less availability of ST2220L . It is one of the best choice under 8.5k.

These are good with Corsair VX450 being the best.

Cooler Master, Zebronics are NOT reliable brands.

And just go for the Intel Core i5-2400 configuration. I mentioned in my first post that it is a newer generation processor.

manojchandan,
You better go with DELL IN2020M rather than LG E2040T.
Also go for intel i5-2400. Its a SB processor and is of latest technology. And no AMD proccy in this world can beat any SB.
Better you dont opt for a GPU now. Work with intel's internal graphics (which is way better than Radeon 5450 @ 2.5k) for now. Save a little more and get Radeon 6850 later, also it would be cheap by then.
So, my suggestio you go with intel i5-2400 or 2500k. Intel i5-2500k @ 1.5k will be even better. It also has very high internal graphics which u can use until u get ur hands on Radeon 6850.

^^no, intel graphics are not better than 5450. the k series processor graphics equal a 5450 and the non k are behind. and even then those all integrated and 5450 are total crap for gaming.

Jas, googling will show it to you.
Or else check it here:
Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2400 graphics Vs ATI Radeon HD5450 | Starred Reviews

5450 is not for gaming, i know that very well. But as OP's budget is heavy thats why i am suggesting him to use intel's internal graphics till he saves more for Radeon 6850.

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Ya, i know that its a video encoding.
From ur link its clear that k series graphics beat 5450 in many benchmarks except a few.
But from the link i suggested its clear that i5-2400 graphics is same as Radeon 5450.

@OP: Just go for the Sandy Bridge config. There is no point for going an old generation processor now which is due to be replaced.
Yes, whats wrong. Its the samething i meant i.e SB have much better graphics than any other processor.
This won't be true soon. Watch this video.

in every game 5450 is better except F1 2010 and UT3 in the techpowerup link!

Guys your suggestions are good but I have only 40k in my pocket. I can make up-to 2k max. Also I have no plan to upgrade it later except adding a monitor. All I want a system without lagging in medium settings that equaling 9800GTX+. So help me to choose.
