[Tenida]

.. after 48 hrs of extensive research.. I have lost my visual ability ! means only 1 thing.. My eyes are tired & I need some rest !

So, I guess i'll freeze the 5770 1gb ddr5 !
Too bad... I could have gone for the 6770 1gb ddr5 if only my stupid zebronics 5oow could supply power to this new rig

Ok buddy take some rest and then continue your research.
But i will suggest you to go for HD 6770 if you want to play in full-hd.

 

[karthik316_1999]

no.. no.. not the 6670 please ! I'd rather save money by opting the AMD Athlon II x4 640/645 & use that penny for a 5770 or 6770 !! Wise enough ?

Thanks for the URL ! Will see the prices n get back..

 

[MegaMind]

hmm... not planning to go with the 6670.. its going to be either the 5770 or 6770

Then it should be 6770...

 

[Tenida]

+1 for 6770 over 5770.

 

[karthik316_1999]

Then it should be 6770...

hmm... not much price diff. bt. Athlon II Quad X4 - 645 & Phenom II Quad X4 - 840. So, no money saving there i guess... unless I opt for an Athlon II x3

Also, I see a XFX 6770 retailing @ 7.5 k ! guess i'll have to call them up for updated prices of other brands like MSI / Sapphire.. as the performance quality goes like this.. as told by saswat.. hope u'll agree with that.. until now, I was thinking XFX as THE top brand !

1. MSi
2. SAPPHIRE
3. ASUS
4. XFX
5. Palit
6. Zotac

 

[Tenida]

Avoid XFX at all cost.I will not recommend it.
MSI/Sapphire is best in AMD/ATI card.

Stick to 840 as its more future proof..

XFX was good, long back.. wen MSI n Sapphire were not familiar..

When are u planning on the build?

no.. no.. not the 6670 please ! I'd rather save money by opting the AMD Athlon II x4 640/645 & use that penny for a 5770 or 6770 !! Wise enough ?

Definitely... Always works for me, and almost everyone here...

 

[karthik316_1999]

Stick to 840 as its more future proof..

Hmm.. Are we sure the Phenom II x4 840 can be called future-proof just for 0.3 k difference ? cuz.. I think only the L3 cache is the difference between Athlon II & Phenom II and that cache is not available on the x4 840 making it same as the Athlon II x4 's !!!

Source !: Athlon II Or Phenom II: Does Your CPU Need L3 Cache? : L3 Cache: How Important Is It To AMD?

When are u planning on the build?

I'm planning on the build very soon.. once I have made up my mind.. maybe this week ?

 

[saswat23]

Grab the HD 6770 if its available for 7-7.5k. If its priced more, say 8-8.5k then rather go for HD 5770 at 7k.
For GPU look for MSi, SAPPHIRE and ASUS cards only. These are top brands. If you are unable to get these cards then your last choise is to go for XFX.

 

[karthik316_1999]

Definitely... Always works for me, and almost everyone here...

But the only problem is not much money can be saved by opting the athlon ii x4's over the phenom ii x4's.. Guess I would need to come down to a Athlon II x3 455/460 ? (Not sure of their prices though..)

The benefits are lower power consumption and lower heat output...

Get the proccy+mobo+RAM+PSU now for 10.7K now...
ave up for a month, get a 6770 for ~7.3K...

Some research on the PSU and here I am:

1. Cooler Master 500W SMPS - 3000/-
18Ax2 = 36A on 2 +12v's

2. Corsair Builder Series 500W (CMPSU-500CX) - 3160/-
34A +12v

3. SAGA II 400 - roughly 2100/- ?
17A x 2 = 34A on 2 +12v's

4. Corsair Builder Series CX430 V2 430W (CMPSU-430CXV2) - 2640/-
28A +12v

5. FSP 500W PowerSupply (SAGA II 500) - 2340/-
Anyone -> Any info on the AMP's rating of this one..? the manufacturer's site is clueless !

- Guess there is a tie betwen corsair 500w & the saga ii 400w. Is there any diff. based on the no. of +12v rails used to achieve the total Ampere? If not, then the saga II 400w wins hands down with a ptice diff. of 1k !

- The cooler master 500w is a better option than the corsair 500w if corsair wins the above point.

- Curious to know the ratings of saga II 500w !

- I would definitely not buy the CX 430 v2 ! its just a meager 6A boost from my present 22A zebronics.

 

[saswat23]

Ok, 1st of all make a market survey in your area of all the parts listed here and update us with the prices, so that we can suggest you the best config for under your budget..

Get FSP SAGAII 500W or SAGAII 400. Dont ever opt for CM as at this price you will get nothing more than its eXtreme series which is nothing less than a fire cracker.

The most suited VFM PSU here is SAGAII 500W. May be you can get it for 2.1k after bargaining a bit.

1. No
2. price should be ~1.6K, better to go for option 3 or 4
4. ok, but might not be avail in chennai
5. No..

@karthik316_1999, Sorry if i were in chennai, i could hav helped... Now i can only ask the prices from known shops..

 

[karthik316_1999]

Lastly, guys.. I hope I don't need a cabinet 'upgrade' as well !!!!

That's really the only thing that we have not talked off !! hehehe

To be frank, my current system is on an unbranded xtech (anyone heard this name) cabinet. The all black one that has provisions for two fans (those 60 - 100 rupees) fans on the side of the cabinet and provisions for additional fans on the rear side of the cabinet..

This should suffice right ?

On the other hand, my older cabinet (an iball that housed my athlon xp system in 2006) that i'm planning to give away to the dealer is a hugeeeeee one with a carry case kind of a handle on top , power buttons on top and lots of space inside I guess... (but no provision for tiny fans on the sides) should I be installing my new system on this one instead ?!

Dont mind posting pics of both the cabinets if that would help..

Yes, the iball one would look something like this.. !

Hmm.. thot the cooler master was the cream of PSU's... watever the range might be..

The most suited VFM PSU here is SAGAII 500W. May be you can get it for 2.1k after bargaining a bit.

Just noticed your specs.. can you tell me the Ampere rating of your 500w saga II on the 12V rail(s)?

---------

@ megamind..

why wud u say a no to the corsair 500w? (is it my budget)

Also, the CX430 V2 430W is available in chennai (theitdepot.com) but I would choose it cuz of the Amp rating..! as stated above..

1. not 80+ certified.. build quality not good..

2. My bad didnt see that... CX430 V2 would be a better choice..

 

[Tenida]

^^Bro. if you not satisfied with Cx430V2 then you can choose Corsair GS600 @ 3.8K
