Hitman wants gaming machine...........But only has 70K.......

[hitman4]

There is no i5 3220k.I think you are talking about i3 3220.
Go for an i5 atleast.There are quite a few number of games which work well on a capable quad core-processor.Even though with 2 hyper-threaded cores i3 has 4 logical cores but in some new games,it would be somewhat slower than an i5 of the same gen.Games like Justcause2,starcrafII,skyrim are examples where the i3 would be somewhat slower than the i5.

You can opt for windows8 in place of win7.Mandarpalshikar confirmed about win8 pack he got can also be used for fresh install.Also Microsoft Windows 8 Professional OEM 64bit-6k is available.

ya i was talking about i3 3220

Also i wanted to ask
are ALL GAMES WINDOWS 8 COMPATABLE......?

also will ga h77 d3h support sli...?

 

[mandarpalshikar]

Yes... all games run on Win 8.

That board only supports crossfirex not SLI.So if you have the budget then go for hd7870 or else settle for hd7850 if you have plans of multi-GPU setups with this board.
Else you have to look for other boards.

If he is not buying a SSD then its better to get a Blue or Black edition as Green edition is more suitable for data dumping rather than a Boot drive. As for GPU I guess OP should go for 7950 as it will give significant performance boost for him.

If OP can afford then definitely hd7950 makes more sense than hd7870.

Yes all games are Windows 8 compatible AFAIK. Though some games are giving some problems with this OS and some are favoring this OS so I would say a mixed bag.

Hitman4, since you are spending 70K, I strongly recommend you get an Intel Quad Core or AMD 8 Core FX Processors. i3 3220 is a Dual Core Processor and it is a locked processor, can't be overclocked at all. Although it can run most games smoothly, there are plenty of games which can take advantage of a MultiCore CPU. i3 3220 can't handle demanding games like Battlefield 3 in multiplayer due to heavy CPU resource requirements. If you want to reduce the cost then at least go for the Non-K Intel C[ore i5 Processors like i5 3450 or i5 3550.

 

[hitman4]

thank you all for the replies

the price difference between i5 3450 and i5 3550 is Rs.1400
So can you please suggest which is a more value for the money...

thank you the incinerator
this looks good but first of all i have only 70k and secondly you missed the operating system

 

[The Incinerator]

You have to compromise somewhere and the best would be to compromise on the UPS for now. In Kolkata (south) we dont need an UPS cause we almost never have blackouts. So if you are in a blackout prone area get a cheaper one for now.

OS ?!

 

[Cilus]

Then get the following components:-
Motherboard: MSI ZH77A-G41 @ 5.8K
PSU: Corsair CX 600 V2 @ 4.2K

These will save some money for you.

i was not pin pointing you it was just a normal question..

[mandarpalshikar]

My sincere advice my friend.. do away with OS for now.. and put the saved 6.7k in buying Sapphire HD7950 - Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 With Boost 3 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card: Flipkart.com

Trust me.. you wont regret.

And why are you getting Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit for 6750 when you can get Windows 8 Pro for 3499 ?

[kapilove77]

Better go with amd setup that cilus suggested.

 

[hitman4]

can you tell me difference between these two cards....

Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 With Boost 3 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card vs Sapphire AMD HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 Flex Edition 3 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card: Compare Graphics Cards: Flipkart.com

 

[gameranand]

Go- Flex version is more suitable for Multi- monitor setup, performance wise there is no difference.

Buddy, go with the AOC Monitor I have suggested earlier. The Dell Monitor is based on TN Panel which does not offer good color reporudction and depth. On the other hand the AOC display is built with IPS panel which is used in most of the consumer LCD TV and offers far better quality. Price will be 400 to 500 bucks higher than the Dell one.

And since you are in tight budget, why not going with the FX-8350 based configuration I have suggested? That will offer you better performance than i5 3470 in every aspect and same or slight better performance in Gaming. Also it will let you overclock your system to fetch extra performance. If you want a better future-proof configuration then go with it. For Motherboard, you can get a good Gigabyte or ASUS 970 chipset based board around 6 to 6.5K which will offer you better build quality, good overclocking and both SATA III and USB 3.0 features.
