Extra graphics card.

^^560ti Will be bit too high for that budget.
560GTX in case physx is req.
Although physx is more or less a gimmick.A wise man once told me!!!

We can still play games at 800x600 res but we look for better res, why ? for those res a 15k rig is enough, don't need to spend high amount of money on rigs(cpu,mobo,gpu,psu,led monitor etc .....), but still update and spend money for those, why ? A simple duel core rather than a single core is enough for such low res, but we still talk about a quad core or eight core, why ?

Because game is all about eyecandy.

Okay okay. I get it i'll just buy a good mid range card. A hd 6850 or a gtx 550/560.
That would be enough i guess

don't even think of getting GTX 550 - get either GTX 560 or HD6850.

@OP, if u don't bother about physx then go for 6850 or 7770. But if u do need physx go for 560/560ti.
BTW, what psu and cpu u have got ?
And at which res do u game ?

here's his present config and he will play at 1280x1024

My present config-
intel dual core 1.8ghz
2 gb ram
160+320 ext hdd.
Nvidia 9400gt (1 gb)
psu- mercury 420w
mobo- intel d945gcnl

which he is going to upgrade soon .

PhysX Is more of Marketing Srategy Rather than An eye candy.

that depends how u takes it .. but i love it .. and whoever used it, most of them love it ..

ohh sorry i overlooked it !! but a duel core with 1.8ghz at those res ? anything over 5670/440 gt will be big time bottleneck with OP's cpu. and a 6850 or 560 with a generic 420wt psu, that sounds weird too !!

need to update his rig first.

 

[amruth kiran]

iam going to get a hd6850 with 500w psu. atleast.maybe corsair

hopefuly i'll get a i5 2500k or a amdfx4100 3.6 ghz processor.
so it wont be a bottleneck like you guys think

and yes i'll play at highres only
maybe at 1280x1024

 

[thetechfreak]

Good choice. Get atleast a Corsair CX430v2 PSU atleast. or something beefier if you plan to OC.

so it wont be a bottleneck like you guys think

There is going to be a bottlenect 100% sure. We dont think. It will happen

 

[coderunknown]

^^ READ. he said about bottleneck when he upgrades his processor

Sounds good .. but don't go for FX serise

 

[amruth kiran]

Dibya_kol- why shouldn i go for the fx series?? Its pretty good . Right?

you mean even after i upgrade my pc. There will a bottleneck? Or what? Explain. .

 

[dibya_kol]

@OP, fx serise is 'fail' by amd, performed very poorly in benchmarks. On the other hand 2500k is a kick ass. Even 4100 is way behind of 2400/2500(non k), even it is highly oced.
No, there will be no bottleneck in ur future rig.

 

[avinandan012]

if you want to go amd way go for Phenom II

 

[amruth kiran]

So you guys are saying go for the phenom 2 series or the intel i series. NOT the FX series??

Sorry for the other thread on the queries of msi graphics card. I apologise to sam the moderator and sujeet who pointed it out to me. Thank you and it wont happen again.

 

[topgear]

If you want a VFM quad core / HExa core config Phenom II 960T - if you want the ultimate VFM performer then nothing is better than core i5 2500k coupled with a good Z68 mobo for a gaming rig

 

[amruth kiran]

this being a thread on gfx cards is pointless to talk about processors
anyways if i buy a MSI HD 6850 do i need to overclock it??
or should just take the PE/OC edition just in case?

Since you have another thread going on. I'm closing this thread.

It's best if people ask all their queries in one thread instead of creating multiple threads. It's best if you create a SINGLE thread in the PC Configurations section after filling up the questionnaire - which tells us the budget of the whole config. Much easier to suggest that way.

No, you don't need to.
