I am assembling a new pc with the following config(PC will be used for movies, music, photoshop, some rendering work and mid-heavy gaming):-

AMD Phenom II X4 945
ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO
2x2 gb DDR3 Corsair 1333MHz
Cooler Master 690
Cooler Master Extreme Power 500W
WD Blue Edition 1TB

I need help choosing the monitor and the graphic card. I am thinking of buying a 22 inch monitor - BENQ G2220HD. This monitor has 1920X1080 native resolution. Is this a good choice?

Please suggest me a GPU which can handle all latest games(Assassins creed 2, BF:BC 2, Crysis warhead, batman AA, Metro 2033 etc.) at the native resolution(1920X1080) at medium to high settings with 2XAA and 4XAF.

My budget for the card is RS.10000

I would suggest you to go for

AMD phenom II X6 1055 @ 9.5k
Biostar TA 890GXE @ 6.4k if you need crossfire go for MSI 890GXM-G65 @ 7.5k
Transcend 4G DDR3 1333 @ 5.6k
Corsair vx 450W @ 3.5k (CM EXtreme Series have been considered as Time bomb here :mrgreen:)
WD caviar Blue 1TB @ 4k
Dell S2209W LCD Monitor @ 8.4k
Sapphire HD 5770 1GB @ 9.5k

In case of any budget problem drop ram to 2GB and add 2GB later.Also go for 500GB HDD for 2k. Total 4.5k saved.

will this be enough to run all those games at 1920X1080 at highest setting

depends on games. but games will run smoothly at high setting at HD resolution. can't just say about the details. its varies from game to game. also at your budget, i think this what you'll get at best.

I dont think so.But you can play all games in decent settings.For full HD Gaming with all maxed, you need to have atleast HD 5850 1GB @ 15k.
You better go for MSI board mentioned because in future you can add another 5 series card in x8-x8 crossfire mode.

thnx all......and why the time bomb tag???

cause Cooler master Extreme power have tendency to go off if load applied. so, stay away from them as much as possible & avoid installing one of those unlucky PSU into your system. you may end up paying a bigger price.

I guess the reviewers are Digit are stupid then, AOC is not a high end company. Would never buy it.

Go for Dell or Samsung as first choice.AOC is way behind.Here people buy it for cheaper solutions.

just want to show off the cabinet

what is the safe oc limit for x6 1055?
Click to expand...

Then you can go for cooler master gladiator @3.2k
- Ventilation on top and side for improved airflow throughout the case
- Top mount 140 fan for better airflow
- Supports up to five 120 mm fans
- Front I/O panel for easy access
- Retaining hole for easy CPU cooler installation
- Cable management for quick cable routing and neatness
- Front fan Blue LED switch

It may reach 3.4GHz in stock.Check the core temperatures and do some stress tests.

It depends how far you can take it, what type of cooling you got, how well the motherboard deals with extra current flowing through the circuits, ram type. Far to many parameters to comment straight on.
