NOW MY QUESTION IS THAT I WANT THE GIGABYTE 7850. ITS 16K. ITS AWESOME. BUT MY BUDGET WONT ALLOW IT WITH THIS CONFIG.
SO I ASK MY FELLOW DIGITIANS IF I CAN CUT DOWN THE PROCCY TO THE I3 SERIES AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PERFORMANCE?? OF THAT OF THE 15??
SUGGEST OTHER CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES TOO PLEASE.

 

[sumonpathak]

go for an AMD config.....wont matter in 1080P resolution.

 

[amruth kiran]

should i go for the 960t or the 970?

 

[sumonpathak]

970 always......
how bout a 970+990FX/990X+7850...should fall nicely in ur budget...

Check out the 50K rig here...

with a few modifications u can get a real nice rig

 

[amruth kiran]

the mobo's seem to bee to be too coslty for a7k proccy.
anyways which do you recommend? brand?

whoa! that link is crazy.
thanks.

do i need a custom cooler.? iam not gonna oc. or is it a fault with the chip?

 

[sumonpathak]

^^no fault as such...u r all right with the stock cooler...
and frankly speaking the mobo doesn't do justice for a proccy of such capabilities...

 

[amruth kiran]

which mobo are you referring to?
the one in the link you provided or the 990x/fx?

 

[sumonpathak]

the one in there.....
it was given there for budget constraint.

 

[Myth]

Its too early to be deciding on a proper config now. Prices change, new products are launched and then there is the availability of products after 2 months.
I guess its safe to start a discussion a week before you plan to purchase. The price hopefully wont vary so much by the time you actually buy.

 

[amruth kiran]

I am not expecting the prices to increase on the said components. This is just to give me an idea of the scale of products i can get.
So that i can prioritize

So. Lets say i'll buy next week. I just need to get the config which is right for my budget. Also i have to include the 7850. Unless cutting out on quality processors is a problem

 

[sumonpathak]

X4 970+GA 970-UD3+7850+4GB Ripjaws X+Seasonic 520 Watt+Elite 431..should come within ur budget.

 

[amruth kiran]

wont an i3 and an h67 provide better performance??

it even comes under my budget.

 

[sumonpathak]

^^a true quad would suit u more...

 

[amruth kiran]

oooooooooooh!!!!!
damn!

your right!!

okay. now.
i have a intex 600va/360w ups
is it enough for 5 min backup?

also it doesnt come in my budget.
it overshoots by 6k

 

[topgear]

Core i5 2400 @ 10k - get from golcha
Corsair CX500 / GS500 ~3-3.5k
get a H61 mobo - Asrock is available under 3k
get a APC 600VA at 2k

 

[amruth kiran]

^^ you mean the one in sp road? Bangalore?
its out of stock.
but thanks! i just found out that shop even existed!!

ASRock H61M-PS2 Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com is this good?

 

[topgear]

better get this one :

Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2P Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com

 

[amruth kiran]

what makes Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2P Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com better than ASRock H61M-PS2 Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com???

is turboboost present in the giga byte one?

also would't a h67 board be better??

 

[topgear]

^^ compare the features for yourself ( from manufacturer's website of-course ) and you tell me

 

[amruth kiran]

well top gear since you put it that way,
gigabyte has quick boot,boost and stuff to prevent your pc from frying up
asrock has uefi bios, and 5x speeds in usb,lan,and ram.( i have no idea if its true)
and both dont have usb 3.0 and only one has pci 3.0 which i dont require.
asrock is cheaper
gigs official website says "(All PCI Express slots conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)" but flipkart says "PCIe x16 Slots, Generation:---- 1, 3.0"
SO NOW AT LEAST TELL ME WHICH I SHOULD TAKE!!
