Graphics card and PSU Needed

[debraj]

My budget: 10k which can be stretched to 1k more if very essential.

What I need: Graphics card + PSU

My spec:

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz
2*2GB DDR2 Crossair RAM
Intel DG41 Motherboard
Samsung SynchMaster 794MG

I live in Kolkata.

Please suggest me the best I can get.

Get MSI HD 5770 @ 7K and Corsair GS 600W @ 4.1K

 

[MegaMind]

My suggestion would b,
MSI 5770 HAWK - 7.5K
FSP Saga ii 500 - 2.1K

 

[debraj]

What about GTX 460

Is it far better than MSI HD 5770??
MSI HD 5770 VS MSI HD 5770??Which one is better?
And FSP Saga doesnt have a retailer in Kolkata, I guess!!

 

[MegaMind]

For ur Monitor n budget, 5770 is better...

 

[debraj]

What if I will change my monitor in future?? How much will be the performance degradation?

 

[MegaMind]

MSI HD 5770 VS MSI HD 5770??Which one is better?

U mean MSI 5770 vs MSI 5770 HAWK?
Well HAWK is a bit factory OCed, the cooler of HAWK is gr8, also HAWK can be OCed a lot w/o any probs..

What if I will change my monitor in future?? How much will be the performance degradation?

Depends on which monitor u get...
If u get a fullHD, yes there will be a performance degradation.

And FSP Saga doesnt have a retailer in Kolkata, I guess!!

If not FSP then ask for corsair CX400 or Gigabyte Superb 460W

 

[debraj]

so....what should I do with 11k....MSI 5770 HAWK?? Is it available in Kolkata??

 

[MegaMind]

It should be...

OR order online..

Msi 5770 hawk - 7.5k
vx450 - 3.5k

 

[debraj]

Ordering online...what if I have issues with the card...how to get it repaired then??

And what is the power consumption of the card? can CX400 handle it.. as it is cheaper by 1k I guess..

 

[Piyush]

there are service centers in every major city
just keep your bill safe
CX 400 can handle that...no worries

It is available in Kolkata. Check in M.D computers in Ganesh Chandra avenue. Price is 7.5K and u can reduce a little by bargaining.

 

[abirthedevil]

if you can increase your budget by about 1.5k u can get HD6850 + 500w tacen psu(FSP) it should be able to provide good FPS at even full HD so will be more future proof and accommodate future monitor upgrades

 

[avichandana20000]

M.D computers in Ganesh Chandra avenue

exact location please.

in the footpath of SUPREME or near vedant?

 

[debraj]

I called them to ask MSI 5770 Hawk.

They told me that it will cost 7.6k + tax.
vx450 will take 3.6k
whereas cx430 will take 2.6k

One strange thing that the person in the phone told that the card will need a 600watt PSU which will cost around 3.9k

What should I do now???

he is trying to extract some more money from you
VX 450 is enough for you
if it costs more, then ask for FSP saga II 500W or gigabyte superb 460W

 

[coderunknown]

whereas cx430 will take 2.6k

2yrs warranty. stay away.

he have no idea about power requirement. he'll suggest you a 600W Zebronics or maybe Cooler Master Extreme. i'll suggest you keep your ears tightly shut when dealing with these kind of shopkeepers. its for your own good.

For PSU, a CX 400 is enough to handle HD 5770 but for being in safer side, get the TAgan Stonerock 500W 80+ Bronze @ 3K. It is available in Starcomp Infotech, near Easter Logica. Address is 10 ganesh chandra avenue.

It is more than enough for your system, even considering your fuure upgrades
