Saw AMD A10 5800K without discrete GPU rig in some threads want to know how would it fare against the above config.If AMD's gaming and cpu performance matches or outperforms above config ,will be able to save Rs.2000:cool:

Thank you

Get the configuration you have selected.

Usually we suggest A10-5800K when people are not going for a discrete GPU. But since you are buying a HD 7770, i3-3220 is fine.

Thanks ico,ASHISH65

I could only find comparisons between AMD A10 5800K vs Intel core i3 3220 on net.What i needed was how AMD A10 apu would fare against intel core i3 3220 with a discrete GPU like HD7750 or HD7770.

So Is it worth paying Rs.2000 more for the config that I have selected?

Okay that seals the deal:mrgreen: Thanks thetechfreak.

Which card should I go with Sapphire or ASUS?and what about Gigayte or XFX card

All those prices that i have quoted are from Golchha computers,SP Raod,Bangalore.Can I get these things at a better price anywhere else in Bangalore?Anyone from Bangalore plz throw some light on this.

There is a shop named Ankit Infotech in SP Road. I purchased my PC from there. Golcha sucks.

Hardly 10% difference @ Full HD. Both are pretty much equal but i3 is generally faster.

Thanks ico....will enquire at Ankit Infotech:-o

If the difference is hardly 10% then would AMD A10 5800K + ASUS F2A85M-LE + 8GB RAM be a better option considering better Mobo than Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H and an APU upgrade down the line as AMD has promised another APU based on FM2 socket?

By the way any idea when will AMD launch A10 6800K?

I do not think future apu will strong enough to hd 7770.currently apu hd 7660d perform close to hd 5570!

NO there is huge difference may be 60-70% see here - *www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

Thanks ASHISH65 for sharing that link

May be what ico meant was there is 10% difference between HD7750 DDR5 and HD7770 DDR5 and I understood it in the other way.:-?

I interpreted dikart4's question regarding discrete GPU setups - i3 + HD 7770 vs A10-5800K + HD 7770. :)

Here there is a 10% difference between i3 + HD 7770 and A10 + HD 7770 @ Full HD.

mind looking at this cabby instead?
Cooler Master Elite 334 Cabinet
Click to expand...

Thanks bee...
Looks great and an awesome offer...."SMC Intnl" is it as reliable as flipkart?It says that product will be shipped in 24 hrs...is there anyone
who has bought anything there?

Thats really a cool offer for the people in and around Delhi....but for me the total cost would be 1450 + 300(shipment) =1750 so thats almost same as the cost for CoolerMaster 310 Cabinet in Blore but I do agree.... that cabinet is better than CM310

Decided to go with Sapphire Graphics card:-D.........Any idea about Sapphire RMA in Bangalore? Who handles it?and how is their after sales service?

As for the case, get NZXT Source 210 Elite @2.7k. It has front USB 3.0, tool less drive bays, includes 2fans along with it and has an very good airflow, wire management is also excellent.

As for HD7770, get Sapphire.

Yea thats a very nice cabinet...even I had that in mind but that would make my budget exceed 31K.:cry:

I can get Sapphire AMD ATI HD7750 for Rs.6600 will it be sufficient to play these games(I would be playing mostly racing games like NFS series,F1 2012,Dirt 3,Burnout) and something like FIFA,GTA,Crysis 2 and would like to watch movies in FULL HD as I would be getting my bro's DELL S2220 monitor after 2-3 months:razz:
