Gaming PC for 30k

[Cilus]

Then opt for Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 Motherboard which in technical terms as good as the Asus motherboard. It is available around 6.6K in Smcinternational.in. Currently their site is under maintenance but you can call them and verify it.

I got some more money so I'll go with APC 1.1kva. What about optical drive? Will anything suffice? Or do you have any suggestions? I don't want anything fancy because I only use it for installing windows and occasionally for watching HD DVDs.
As I said I got some more money so may be I can buy the next best option to GT630. Or is it better to stay with this and buy a mid-range card next year(like a 15k card or something like that)? Also would it be better if I go with AMD GPU? I heard AMD CPU+GPU and Intel+Nvidia will work better? Maybe its wrong,anyway waiting for your reply on these things.
Thanks for the support guys

Whatever you have heard regarding all those intel, amd and nvidia stuff, they are wrong.
And for optical drive, get the Asus one. For graphics card, you need one for now as AMD FX series processors and 900 series motherboards don't come with integrated graphics.

 

[akhilc47]

K I'll buy asus one. But what's the next better graphics card to GT630( Nvidia or amd whatever)? I could afford a little more maybe.

HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 at 5.6k

Will I have to get a better PSU for this gpu? Is it better to buy a mobo having built in graphics? just in case gpu fails I should still be able to use the pc.

FX 6300 does not have integrated graphics. If you can spend some more, get Seasonic S12II 430W of S12II 500W instead as they are much better and you'll not need to change the PSU when you buy a better graphic card.

Sorry for asking so many silly questions. So far I've finalized these things
proc = FX 6300 AMD PROCESSOR FX 6300 BLACK EDITION
mobo = asus m5a97 r2.0 ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
cabinet = NZXT gamma NZXT CABINET GAMMA

For PSU which of these would you prefer? corsair = CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply or seasonic = SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
These could handle any mid range gpu right?

And do I really have to spend 5.5k on ups? I just need 10 minutes or so that I can save everything and shut down. Will APC 600va suffice?

How about this HDD *www.flipkart.com/seagate-barracuda-500-gb-desktop-internal-hard-drive-st500dm002/p/itmd4kwhyxz3mqwh?pid=IHDD4KWHWQGNZSBM&ref=2421827b-3446-4a85-bfaa-4d32537490e5? I couldn't find any hdd below 3000 with 500gb capacity.

> For psu, go with Seasonic S12II 520W.

> For UPS, its not about backup time, its about how much power can the UPS deliever. APC 600VA UPS is rated at 360W max power and your PC will probably be close or above this. What I would suggest is to buy the PC, try it in one your friend's APC ups and then decide.

 

[akhilc47]

But the corsair has 600w! Wouldn't it be better when I purchase a better GPU and it's cheaper too!!

Please see that HDD too...
Thanks for helping man.

 

[Cilus]

You don't need that big PSU for your rig. In fact a 450W PSU is sufficient for your rig. And the Seasonic S12II 520 is more than enough for your rig.

> Its not about wattage. And 520 W is perfectly enough even for overclocked FX 8350 and HD7970. above that is a complete waste. Use this calculator to get the recommended psu wattage: eXtreme Power Supply Calculator

> The prices have increased again. FK is having the cheapest 500 GB HDD at 3200. i would suggest to set Seagate Barracuda 1TB instead available for 3962 at FK before the prices increases furthur. For 600 more you are getting 2x capacity.

 

[NoasArcAngel]

basically any psu which is more than the total wattage and can deliver 20amps+ on +12v rails is a good buy for a single card setup. The other way you can do it is to add peak wattage of individual components at stress and make sure ur psu can deliver. Ex : cx 430 v2 is rated @ 430w. However it can deliver 520w peak. and constant 20amps + on +12v rail .. so its a good buy for a i5 4xxx + gtx 650 ti boost. and its cheap too, @ 2.3k

Generally which one is better asus,powercolor,XFX,sapphire etc.? which one should I choose Asus AMD/ATI HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card vs Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card: Compare Graphics Cards: Flipkart.com

Is there something wrong with this GPU. MDcomputers are giving it for just 5.1k!!*mdcomputers.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1312
even 6670 is priced at 5.7k

Ok I read some reviews and it seems that seasonic is very highly rated by everyone. It's fixed then I'll go with it. Thanks for the suggestion. Now it's GPU.

> Seasonic's PSU are very good. > For graphic card, Asus' has good cooler and built, Zotac has 5 years warranty and Sapphire's vapourX cooler is great. I would suggest to go with the one whose service center is in your city.

Budget is really tight now. Will this UPS be adequate- APC Back UPS 700VA ? Also I will buy antec vp450 only
