Is This config proper

[ashishnehete]

I have decide to go for building this rig
but iam nt sure about what will go togethere and their cost in mumbai
plz also recomend the missing components

Intel i7 920-14400/-
MSI X58 PRO-E-11400/-
3 GB corsair dominator 1600MHz DDR3-4400/-(nt sure about this)
Seagate 1TB 7200-4000/-
Saphire Radeon HD4850 6900/-

I am no hard core gamer or an overclocker but i eish to go for i7 as i think it will help me build a future proof pc which i dont have to upgrade atleast for 2-3 years,
pls sugest the cabinet and a good power supply and any changes to the abv config
my budget is around 40-45k but plz stick to the lower limits guys!!

plz reply a little earlier as i need to buy it as early as posible before money and time slips out of the hands.

Id avoid Extreme Power . I know of a couple of instances of where things have gone awry with it as a PSU. I believe alot of folks on the forum has had the same experience as well.

 

[azaad_shri75]

damn for the god's sake don't recommend extreme series from CM, real is good, go for corsair VX450 -550- as per your budget and need, keeping future upgrades, dominator 1600mz for 3gb kit would cost you about 8k, so better got xms series adding another 2k you could get 6gb kit, and why 4 series gfx go for any 5 series in your budget like 5650.

lets see i am going in for cooler master CM690
but i am still lots confused in RAM,PSU and the graphic card

@sam9:
I am going 4 MSI as per the magzines review for the gaming rig

k i will go in for 4GB RAM but which company would be the best
and i have simply no idea for Graphic cards which is better in performance and in price guide me for that coz having a good performance is what i need but in the same price range of 6-7K

and on PSU Corsair VX450 go as i want to add a few things in the future will it complete my power requirement for this config and a plus few additions

plz try to rply early as being an auspisious day i want to buy it today as far as posible replaceing my ten year old dead P3.

 

[NoasArcAngel]

get 4GB of G-Skill ripjaw ram DDR3 1600mhz for 6k
get a 500GB hdd... crash rate is low for about 2.5k
dont go for HD4xxx series get a HD 5750 for 8k or HD 5770 for 10k
PSU : go for corsair vx450 for 4k / vx550 for 5.5k

 

[ashishnehete]

What about
ATI Radeon 5670
i have simply no idea about it but its a directx 11 entry level card has been given a good rating in magzine and is in my budget no idea about its performance and i need one thing jst for notice my earlier lcd only has dsub
and

Cooler master GX 550 priced at 4500

 

[NoasArcAngel]

the price difference between the 5670 and the 5750 is 3k and the performance difference is very pretty high 25-50% the 5670 costs about 5k and the 5750 costs 8.5k

your budget is 40-45k including screen ? or no because i can suggest a new config... also dont go for core i7 get a core i5 and build a powerful pc or go for the top of the line amd quad core

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

processor : AMD phenom II x4 955 BE ->8k
mobo : MSI 785G E-53 ->5k
ram : Gskill Ripjaws Series 2x2GB DDR3 1600MHz F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM -> 7k
hdd : seagate barracuda 7200.12 1TB hard disk -> 4k
psu : corsair vx 450 -> 4k
gpu : XFX / Sapphire ATI HD 5770 -> 9k
case : cooler master cm 690 / NZXT M59 -> 4.5k
cooling : cooler master tx2 cpu cooler -> 1.5k

total : 43k

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

alternatively you could go for

processor : core i5 750 ->9.5k
motherboard : MSI P55-CD53 -> 6.5~7k

and keep the other components same

 

[NoasArcAngel]

I would have suggested quite similar to Noas, G-Skill is good for a price of 6000. GPU, again HD 5750 for 8k is a really good card. Coming to PSU I had no idea that Xtreme power is showing any faliure rate, must have been a recent thing, anyway can for Corsair vx series or CM Elite.

thanks +1... also even i had no idea about the xtreme power psu i suggested it to someone and they were after my life.... because it seems they have some pretty serious issues

Intel i7 920-14400/- ---> good choice. still try get the new core i7 930.
MSI X58 PRO-E-11400/-
3 GB corsair dominator 1600MHz DDR3-4400/-(nt sure about this) ---> no OC. no need for these rams. get value ram. get 3Gb. triple channel. later u can add 3 more sticks.
Seagate 1TB 7200-4000/-
Saphire Radeon HD4850 6900/- ---> get HD5770. will suite your config better.
PSU: VX450W.
Cabby: as most already suggested. CM 690. but do fill it with fans.

first of all u dont require core i7 its for intense 3d gaming and encoding stuff
if u still want,then u can have core i5

anyways i suggesting an amd based rig
since u r not a hardcore gamer and u need a rig stable for at least 2-3 years then,take a look

cpu-amd athlonII x4 635- 6-6.5k

mobo-asus/msi 785 g- 5-6.5k(depending upon brand)

ram-corsair/xms/gskill 2*2gb - 5.5k

cabinet-cm 690 - 4k

psu- corsair vx 550w- 5.5k

graphic card- sapphire/powercolor hd 5770- 10k

hdd-Seagate 1TB 7200-4k

hdd-Seagate 1TB 7200-4k

cpu-amd athlonII x4 635- 6-6.5k ---> i doubt 635 avl in India. better for futureproofing get i5 or Phenom II 955/965.

mobo-asus/msi 785 g- 5-6.5k(depending upon brand) ---> P55 based mobo/790GX or 790FX or even maybe 890G.

ram-corsair/xms/gskill 2*2gb - 5.5k ---> DDR3 value ram as you won't OC.

cabinet-cm 690 - 4k ---> or some NZXT cabinets available for almost same price. looks better.

psu- corsair vx 550w- 5.5k ---> maybe VX450 if he won't OC, no CrossFire, etc.

graphic card- sapphire/powercolor hd 5770- 10k ---> with the rest of the money he can get even HD5850. futureproofing add 1 more HD5850 for best futureproofing.

hdd-Seagate 1TB 7200-4k ---> good one.

 

[piyush2202]

if you wait a while you might get a better DX11 card from Nvidia. check this month's digit pg54.

better? if i not wrong Nvidia launching mainly 2 cards, GTX470 & GTX480. rest most will mainly be rebranding. & they will be damn costly. thing is by the time digit reaches you, it'll already be 1 month old. so follow it for reviews but for new techs, well i prefer Anandtech, Tom's Hardware & INPAI.

 

[vickybat]

Wait for fermi until you decide for your graphics card.
Its goin to be worth the wait.

 

[asingh]

and the link is from tweak townn.... not any other hotch potch site

Could you provide the link again. Where the new accelerators have been reviewed. Thanks. Am not able to find it.

EDIT:
Just saw it...

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

EDIT 2:
Just read the link. It is again speculation, and what the site as "learnt". No testing has been done.

Read this:

Power wise, NVIDIA is apparently slapping on a minimum requirement of 550 Watt, up slightly from AMD's min requirement on the HD 5850 at 500 Watt. In any case, it shouldn't matter to most people wanting a card like this, knowing full well that a quality PSU with plenty of headroom makes for a much more stable gaming rig.

Again, it is mere speculation. So till then let us all keep mum about this card. It is just spilling a lot of bad blood. Its unfair to comment / compare when the product is not out in the market.

 

[coderunknown]

also i feel gaming on dual monitors is " SAD "

what makes you say gaming on 3 monitors or say 2 monitors only is sad? Eyefinity is meant for 3 monitor setup, not 2. with 2 you'll get the monitor bezel coming in between & will make gameplay not only disturbing but also very annoying. play a MMORPG on a 3 monitor setup, you'll know its nothing about getting sad.

Frankly speaking i would prefer a single screen running higher resolutions than using multiple displays together... it makes the experience much more real...also i am no Nvidia Fanboy... can't you see that i am already using a ATI card??......

maybe only you prefer so, using only 1 monitor, but maybe rest of the gaming community wants different, maybe. else why has the idea of Eyefinity surfaced & is in practical use now? not cause the CEO or the chairman of AMD wants so. cause gamers from different parts of the world requested for it (you not included).

also dude check with the " OFFICIAL " prices.... not what the dealers give you.

you don't buy cards on official prices. or even other pc stuffs (lets limit discussion to PC based things only, please). if so, why was X4 630 selling for ~5.8k back in 2009 when it was first launched? when the OFFICIAL price was a mere 99USD?

 

[acewin]

guys stop this nonsense one and for all, we can have separate thread for our debates. Let the fellow who created the thread get his proper advice.
as asigh already said wait for the real launch, and then we can have our official discussion in a separate threads. Especially I do not like comments over which I cannot comment. I am not a gamer who changes GPU every sunday to test there performance and bring them to their knees, also I am still planning how to buy a 24 inch monitor for myself and you guys are bumping your head for triple monitors.

I've removed a multitude of posts which was basically a discussion about fermi and placed it in a new thread where you may continue.
