Please fill the *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-components-configurations/128247-pc-build-questionnaire-template.html .

Also, why do you want an AMD processor? Intel beats AMD in the high end market these days. If you are a fanboy or want to stick with AMD only I'd suggest waiting for AMD bulldozer processors that are to be launched in 3 months.

Thanks Cyber for the info. I am not fan of amd. If i build a intel based then it would go upto 80k which i am not in or wont use it.

secondly i had seen benchmarks where there are cased which pc mark reached 17k points which is a bit above intel.

Also let me know what bulldozer holds for 8 cores or 12 cores. how much are they going to cost 20k min i believe.

I had made up the mind to go for ati cards and came to know that amd and ati will work and not nvidia .just for better performance.

For the same price you can get an an intel 2500k + a good motherboard. Also, Bulldozer will go from 2 to 12 code (12 might be server only).

Also about amd nVidia not performing well is a misconception. But depending on your budget amd might be a better choice for gfx card (amd and ati merged a few years back).

Can you suggest me the best configuration my requirement is high end cpu at best price like you said the 2500k model i am not sure which one in i7 or i5 is it quad core or 6 core.

second i need a board future proof and should support quad gpu min 3gpu at x16

final i need to be able to add in future if any required for at least 4 years.

 

[Demon Lord]

u din tell ur total budget.
fill the template as told by cybertonic for better help.

What makes you think that you will be able to get the same GPU that you buy today, 2 or 3 or 4 years later? The price of mobo with quad SLI/CF 16X will burn your pocket. Stick to a max of dual 16x PCI-E mobo.

2500k is an i5 and you cant run tri x16 on p67 even dual cards will run at x8-x8. Dont go for quad sli/xfire mobo, costly and not so worthy; scaling issue

Here's my suggestion:

Phenom II X6 1100T @ 10.7k
MSI 880GMA-E45 USB3.0 @ 5.4k
Corsair 1*4=4GB XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz C9 @ 2.3k
Corsair GS 600W @ 4.8k
NZXT Gamma @ 2k
Dell ST2320L 23" FULL HD LED @ 9.8k
Seagate 1TB @ 2.7k
Logitech MX 518 @ 1.4k or Razer Abyssus @ 1.4k
MS Comfort Curve 2000 @ 1.1k
LG 22x DVD RW @ 0.9k

Now here's what I suggest.

Drop the idea of Triple CFx, heck we usually discourage CFx itself, and instead, grab the highest end single GPU offering. Man get the Radeon HD6990 if you wish, but for gaming @ full hd, HD6970 is more than enough.

I have posted this a couple of times and there's no harm posting it again:

Dell ST2320L Review | PC Monitors

Drop the ST2320L. It's a crap monitor.

@ op

Go for a sandybridge cpu + z68 mobo combo. Far better than any phenom2 x6. Actually these phenom 2's don't make any sense now. If you want amd, then wait for bulldozer.

Besides all current sandybridge mobo's have ivybridge support for socket 1155.So upgradeability is equally good in intel.

Fill in the pc buying questionnaire template so that you get better suggestions.

 

[Skud]

If possible, hold your purchase till Bulldozer CPUs are out. And then make a decision.

 

[ryuzaki21]

The combo is fine but would suggest getting a 990 g based chipset so that you can upgrade to bulldozer(zambezi) in the near future....

 

[macho84]

ry can you specify the model is that AM3+ READY

i may not need the ups so save some

But do you think that it will beat amd 6 core may be intel i7 6 will definetly beat it as the price itself says 5 time ahead min 50k.

I am choosing amd to stay low. what is max benifit of spending extra 6k for a intel processor.

second psu is not sufficient as i am planning to cf 5870 later. which would be close to 6000 series high end .

i choose 800watt or 850

 

[shayem]

Right now highest performing AMD in market is Phenom II x6 1100T AFAIK which can hardly match i5-2400 performance in some cases. I hope you are clever enough to understand the rest.

As you don't need UPS so you can add that to PSU and get Corsair TX850 @ 7200 & get CM 690 II Plus (RC-692-KKN1) Cabinet @ 4700

yes. Thanks to superior architecture, Sandy Bridge is a four core i7 easily beats a 6 core Phenom II. And if you check the news lately, you should be able to know that AMD Llano core based upcoming processors too are no match for Intel's Sandy Bridge. bulldozer is due next year (if i am right).

 

[Skud]

Depends on from which angle you are seeing it - from a pure CPU point of view - its no match to the Core i3 2100, although multi-threaded performance is better compared to the i3, from a GPU point of view it decimates it. And it will be released in 3-4 SKUs instead of just a single i3 from SNB. And prices in Europe debuted a bit lower than expected.

Basically you are going to get a Athlon II X4 class CPU + 6450 class GPU in a single package with lower cost - it matters to those for whom it matters.

 

[vickybat]

^^ Still the cpu part is far weaker than sandybridge. And in desktops, the gpu part is neglected . So sandybridge is still far superior in clock per clock performance when paired with a discrete gpu.

Only in laptop markets, it will make sense where power management is a huge priority. Bulldozer will be sandybridge's true opponent.
