@OP: You have used your comp for 9 years, if you can hold on a few more months you can go for a Bulldozer proccy. That is if you prefer AMD, else you can go for SB based system as suggested already.

Re: Finally upgrading 9 year old PC!!suggestion required for very custom config

@ lordirecto are amd bulldozer proccys in direct competition wid intel i5's and i7;s ???
when are they expected to hit the market and what can be their base price ??

 

[lordirecto]

Re: Finally upgrading 9 year old PC!!suggestion required for very custom config

^ Yes Bulldozer is to compete with i5 and i7. Afaik bulldozer is expected to released soon, maybe 2 months I guess. As for the pricing, I am sure it will be fierce competition with Intel like the last time when they released their 1080 proccys.

Re: Finally upgrading 9 year old PC!!suggestion required for very custom config

so if i dont overclock, then I can opt for i5 2500 and intel H67CL Board. ?

other than overclocking does intel DP67BG has any advantages over intel H67CL.?.

so do the above two boards have a PS/2, and IDE slots..?

Re: Finally upgrading 9 year old PC!!suggestion required for very custom config

Intel® Desktop Board DP67BG

Intel® Desktop Board DH67CL

Re: Finally upgrading 9 year old PC!!suggestion required for very custom config

ohh no!,
both motherboards Intel DP67BG and Intel DH67CL dont have VGA and IDE support.

how can i use My VGA monitor, Hard disk and DVD Writer..?.

can anyone suggest mobos which supports above..

 

[masterkd]

Re: Finally upgrading 9 year old PC!!suggestion required for very custom config

for vga monitor use dvi-vga adapter..very few h67/p67 mobo have ide..so you either have to ditch them or use ide to sata adapter!!

Re: Finally upgrading 9 year old PC!!suggestion required for very custom config

Thanks all for your replies

final decided config


Intel Core i5 2500k (i chose this instead of 2500 becoz the review says that k version has better GPU )
Intel DH67CL (i will change this when overclocking is needed (may be after 2 years), I thought I would get z68 , but its releasing in may )

Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 4GB
CM elite 310
FSP saga II 500W

Hope will be a good config to play crysis2 and cod black ops

Re: Finally upgrading 9 year old PC!!suggestion required for very custom config

^^no it wont be enough for crysis 2 or call of duty BO. where is graphics card!!

 

[lordirecto]

Re: Finally upgrading 9 year old PC!!suggestion required for very custom config

^^ He also has an option to quit gaming with that config, if I may add

 

[khmadhu]

well I guess, it can be played on on-board HD graphics with i5 GPU,

the system requirement says a graphics card or its equivalent!

 

[saswat23]

Really!!!
Is it so???

 

[khmadhu]

Finally.. the new B3 version came in S.P road.

after reviewing much i planed to overshoot my budget to 35k. and planning to buy this week..

so once again I need suggestions on this.. (specially on graphics card & cabby)

Any comparable graphics card in Nvidia. around 6k? (less gaming and more video encoding) becoz my friend is working in Nvidia, so hopefully some discount I could get..

I picked this config .. (The prices are from S.P road)

(ntel Core i5 2500k & intel DP67BG) bundled -> 21.4k
G.Skill Ripjaws 4GB DDR3-1600 -> 2.8k
WD 1 TB 7200 rpm,64MB -> 2.7k
ATI Radeon HD 5670/ 5770 -> 4.8k / 6.8k
FSP saga II 500W -> 2k
CM Elite 310/430 -> 2k/ 2.8k

BTW why the processor and motherboard are having so much difference compared to other states..? in other states its 17.5k (which one is correct 17.5k or 21.4k).?

 

[lordirecto]

^ Why have you selected ATi when you have someone working in Nvidia?? Try to find out the price from smcinternational.in, that is the cheapest dealer for now.

 

[Piyush]

HD 5770 @ 6.8k!!!
thats really impressive

 

[khmadhu]

@lordirecto, he is my friend's friend,and moreover i dont know which model to choose.

BTW Which is the best model in Nvidia(less gaming more video encoding) for around 6k.

 

[lordirecto]

^ If you are not building a workstation oriented rig, then I suggest you go in for gtx570 or 560 Ti as per your budget.

 

[saswat23]

OP,
the prices are really very high.
