Hello TDF members!
BACKGROUND INFO:
I have just finished my 12th and joined First year computer engineering.
I want a gaming rig which will last me for the coming 3.5years! [ Not sure but will i be needing high specs for coding/compiling apps or anything else ill learn in the next 4years??]
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: Games like crysis 3, gta 5, mp3, dota2
, cs:go ,BF4 , COD:Ghosts , fc3 , WATCH DOGS <3 , Batman Arkham origins Programming ,coding ,basic photoshop ,basic sony vegas pro..
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 70k MAX including monitor
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Yes both the CPU and the GPU after 1.5years
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: I already have windows 7 + linux
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1tb [will add 1more tb after a year]
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans:YES, 1080p for gaming with a faster response i.e lower response time Or read further for 900p monitor
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: MOUSE = g400
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: IN the next 2 weeks
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: No this is my first build, i'll probably do it on my own [i am really intersted in computers]
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans:Mumbai.. Need to know some good shop at lamigton or flipkart.com
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: YES loads of thing..
This is what i have in mind atm
8350
2x4gb ram
CM Hyper 212 evo -2500
Asus m5a97 evo r2.0 - can this handle gpu+cpu overclocking, if not suggest something else [I am not going to sli/cf in future]
CASE = Not sure but i want a good one with usb 3.0 front ports and audio jacks at front , and it should look sexy too
WILL I BE NEEDING A UPS? Power only goes off around once every month!
GPU - Confused between 7950 w/Boost AND Zotac gtx 760!
If i go for the 7950 i'll surely overclock so will i need a better mobo for that? If yes that increases the cost..
Also I will need a better psu that too will increase the cost..
But since current games like crysis 3 mp3 max out 2gb vram [They use 2.1gb at ultra settings] Surely many more next gen games coming out after a year or two will max out 2gb vram so thats why 7950 is the better choice here!
BUT i could go with gtx 760 and then i wont need a better mobo/psu [hence i save money] , i get PHYSX with it and also i could get a free 900p monitor from my cousin [since 900p has around 6lakh less pixels than 1080p even the next gen games wont max out the 2gb vram? Not sure but this is what i think] Also 760 is 4k cheaper than 7950 and i will also save the monitor cost
TL;DR:
7950 + better mobo + better psu + 1080p monitor
OR
760 + free-900p monitor [Viewsonic VA1912WB -is this a good monitor? It's about 5years old]
OR
Anyother suggestion? Like buy 1080p and run in dual with 900p or Sell the 900p or any thing else????????
Also do people at lamington road give the never settle bundle coupon on AMD cards because mdcomputers.in gives but i dont want to order from there as i live in mumbai and their shop is in kolktata and then i will have servicing/warranty issues!
