Gaming RIG - Need help

If you want to reduce budget, then go for FX-8320 which is around 10K. For GPU, I don't think you can go wrong with GTX 760. Buy the Asus Direct CU II version which is around 22K.

buddy VRAM is not all about performence , check out real world performence...

Buddy just go with the following config if you so desire to go with 6 or 8 core CPU's anyway.OK.

S.No	Components	Prices	Warranty in Years
1	AMD FX 6300	7300	3
2	Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 (8+2 Phases)	6300	3
3	Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 8GB	4500	10
4	WD Black 1TB	5500	5
5	Asus HD7950 Vapor-X Edition 3GB	24000	3
6	Seasonic S12II 520	4000	3
7	Asus 24B5ST DVD-RW	1100	1
8	Corsair 300R Windowed	5000	2
9	Dell S2240L 22" LED IPS	8900	2
10	CM 140mm 2 BLED LED fans	1100	1
11	CM 120mm 2 BLUE LED fans	900	1

TOTAL		71,000

After checking the real world performace i think the 7950/760 are same at stock speeds and overclocked speeds both. Even though 7950 has extra 1gb VRAM which will help me with newer games 2 years down the line?

Buddy just go with the following config if you so desire to go with 6 core CPU.OK.

AMD FX 6300 - 7500,
Asus M5A97 EVo R2.0 -8000,
Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 8GB - 4500,
Zotac GTX760 AMP Edition 2GB -22000,
WD Black 1TB -5500,
Seasonic S12II 520 - 4000,
Asus 24B5ST DVD-RW -1100,
Corsair 300R Windowed -5100,
Dell S2240L 22" LED IPS -8900,
CM 140mm 2 BLUE LED fans -1100,
CM 120mm 2 BLUE LED fans -900.
TOTAL -68600.

Won't a dual channel kit me more effect?
What if i replace the 760 AMP with a 7950 Vapor-X by adding 2k extra? And upgrade the PSU to 620 by adding 1k extra? Will the Overclocking possibility and the extra vram increase performance and future proofing??

I think your previous post [which you editied] about the 6core was a better one. At the moment there is not much difference in gaming between FX 4 cores and 8cores [Saw many benchmarks] when gaming less CPU intensive games , also many people report that Asus m5a97 evo r2.0 will not be able to OC the fx 8core chips properly.

I see you have a similar build [But a very weak GPU indeed] Can you tell me how much does the 8320 overclock on air?

 

[topgear]

6 core cpu is good enough for gaming provided you OC it - performance wise HD7950 vapor-x in boost mode performs similar to GTX 760 - both can be oced to decent level to gain additional performnce though GTX 760 got a upper hand here [ version with dual fan coolers ]. Seasonic S12II 620W is a good choice and if you add 500-700 bucks you can get a better cabby ie Corsair 400R.

I have a Corsair H60 2013 Edition and I am able to overclock fro stock 3.5GHz to 4.0GHz only because my Asus M5A97 R2.0 is a severe bottleneck in overclocking further more.I think if using CM Hyper 212 EVo also 1 can overclock to 4.0GHz anyways but its the MB that's limiting further OC.In my opinion 6 Core AMD FX is much better than a 8 Core AMD FX if using such MB's anyway.

 

[Cilus]

We have suggested him M5A97 EVO which offers superior build quality than the Non-EVO version and comes with 6+2 Phase Digital VRM.

 

[topgear]

completely agree but if op don't want to spend that extra 2k then the non evo version is also good enough for take the cpu to at-least 4.5ghz provided op gets some decent cpu cooler.

 

[ACidBaseD]

How do i bargain with the people @ lamington?

I am 17years old and i dont look matured enough!
Do they give random people the quotes of the prices at which they are selling ? Also what RMA policies they have?

Thanks for the information bavusani, but as topgear and clius said i'll be going for the EVO version which i believe was specially made for the FX series

Simply buy from reluted shops only(i like primeabgb personally)...

RMA/warrenty will be provided by manufacturere only, in their respective service centres, dont forger to get a invoice/bill

But flipkart gives their own RMA?
Heard from many people if the product isn't working properly they exchange/refund as long as you report to them within 30days of buying!

Flipkart is totally different...
@ lamington road afaik few shops give max. 3 day replacement.
then if your product is in warrenty period you can RMA it to manufacturer.

So if i am getting parts at same price from flipkart, i should order from there right?

 

[topgear]

yeah, go ahead

 

[rijinpk1]

check the seller also.

 

[harshilsharma63]

True. Different sellers have different replacement and return policies. The usual 30 day return policy applies only for 'WS Retails' AFAIK.

 

[ACidBaseD]

Thanks but i saw all the prices in the flipkart increased yesterday
Should have ordered before

I went to 4-5shops and tried to get the quotes!

I went to primeabgb aswell but his quotes were expensive and he did not have Asus m5a97 evo r2.0

So this is the cheapest quote i got:

FX-6300 7500/-
Asus m5a97 EVO R2.0 - 7500/-
G Skill RipJaws 2*4GB Ram - 2*2700=5400/-
CM HAF 912 with window - 5500/-
Seasonic S12ii 620W - 5200/-
WD blue 1tb 4000/-
Sapphire 7950 OC with Boost 24,500/- [No one @lamington road has VAPOR-X version ]
Dell S2240L - 8500/-
--------------------------
TOTAL - 68,000/-


Is this worth it?
