Going for this config - Please advice

[ArjunKiller]

I am going to get this configuration next week. Please advice if anything is wrong or give a go ahead. My budget is 30,000 and mostly will be used for gaming only.

Processor - AMD Phenom II X6 1075T
Motherboard - ASUS M5A97
RAM - 4GB DDR3 Corsair Value RAM
Graphics Card - AMD Radeon HD6850
Hard Disk - Seagate 500GB
Cabinet - Suggest a cheap cabby with USB 3 support.
DVD Drive - ASUS DRW B3ST

The config is gud, but if possible try to change the mobo with gigabyte ga970-ud3. It is a better mobo with better power phases and onboard usb3. For the cabby, look for nzxt source elite 210 for 2.5k. Or if u have budget of 5k then go for 400r, the best out there. Also which psu are u going to use?

 

[Sainatarajan]

Go with the Gigabyte mobo . I would advice you to get a X4 970 .

What PSU you are going to use

 

[ArjunKiller]

I know the Gigabyte board has 8+2 phase power supply but I won't be overclocking.. so going with ASUS.. other specs are almost same.. even it has 4+2 phase VRM.. enough for me. X4 970 isn't available here so I'm going with this.

Going to use CX500V2 PSU.. Is the CX430V2 enough?

^^Get the ASUS M5A88-M if you're not OC'ing and spend the remaining money for a GTX 560.

 

[ArjunKiller]

The M5A88-M is just somewhat cheaper, around 400 bucks than the M5A97.. I can't get anything in that much cash..

 

[RiGOD]

Check Delta Page. They're selling it for Rs.5225.

 

[ArjunKiller]

Going for M5A97.. its available locally.

 

[RiGOD]

As you wish buddy.

 

[ArjunKiller]

Sorry for being rude. Any ideas about where to buy the cabinet from? (Online).

 

[RiGOD]

Budget? I ordered the BitFenix Merc Alpha from Xtreme Grafix for my new RiG; Rs.2556 (Including NEFT charges)

 

[ArjunKiller]

Ehh.. Around 2k for the cabinet. Don't need anything stylish. Kaam chalaau

 

[Nerevarine]

CM Elite 310.. from SMC.. it even has side window

 

[RiGOD]

Yeah, SMC is offering free shipping for all CM products. Grab an Elite 311 for 2k.

 

[ArjunKiller]

What about the CM Elite 430? I'm thinking of going for it.

Good cabinet at its price range.
Your overall config looks good. But where is the PSU?

Bad cable management features. Don't go for it.

 

[RiGOD]

If you have money for CM Elite 430 then you should seriously think about Source 210 Elite/Gamma/Merc Alpha. Great VFM cases compared to Elite 430.

 

[saikiasunny]

^^^+1 for 210 elite. U mentioned u want usb3, so best option for you. It also has better cable management features.

 

[ArjunKiller]

But guys, the source 210 elite isn't available here. Please point me to some online shop from where I can fetch it. Also someone told me that if I go for intel based rig [ i5 2320 + H61 ] there will be 30+ FPS difference! Is that true?
