You should read up a little bit in the forum threads before asking questions.

That was really enlightening

Now for the second part of my question, will the H67 be the best for given CPU+GPU combo????

 

[topgear]

tell us your budget and what cpu and gpu you are going to get ? if possible getting a H77 motherboard is recommended over H67.

Friend wanted it.
He was thinking about Pentium G630 and Above GPU .
Budget is ~25k.

 

[topgear]

Do your friend only needs CPU+Mobo and GPU only ? then combining a GTX 650 Ti with G630 is not a good idea at 14k he can get ( excluding GPU price ) i5 - 2310 @ 10.5k and Asus P8B75M-LX @ 4.1k but if he don't has a decent PSU then opt for core i3 3220 cpu @7k and Corsair CX430v2 @ ~2.6k.

his problem is that he has a budgt of 25k only...and he has to buy all parts at that price...
was thinking abt g860+650ti but since g860 not available, i thought about g630.
then i considered also the hd 7850 after reading a review by tomshardware but that is too expensive for his budget.

what i had in mind was
g630 -3.5k
gtx g50ti -10.5k
4 gb ram - 1.5k
3.5k mobo

i hope u get the idea..

 

[topgear]

^^ yep, I got the idea anyway, edit the first post using PC Build Questionnaire Template from here :
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-compon...new-pc-help-answer-these-questions-first.html
It will be easier to suggest components then

BTW, thread move into appropriate section and thread title edited.

no problem

Done.

 

[Confused_user]

I don't mean to intrude, but I was wondering if anyone could tell of how much bottleneck will it cause if I pair a g630 with a hd 7850

 

[Cilus]

Not much in gaming. G630 is a capable gaming processor but by spending 300 bucks extra you can get a G645 which is little faster.

a-raam, make sure the HDD your friend currently having is a SATA HDD, the current motherboards have dropped the IDE ports required to connect the PATA devices.

 

[vickybat]

@ OP

For that resolution, 650-ti and 7850 would be an overkill. Besides they are expensive and difficult to fit in your budget.
So here goes my config:

CPU- Intel pentium G630 - 3.4K ( can get G645 by paying a bit extra and its worth it)
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H - 4.5k
Graphics - Gigabyte 7770 - 8k
Ram - Corsair 4gb value ram - 1k
Hdd - WD caviar blue 500gb - 3.5k
Cabinet - cm 311 elite - 2.3k
PSU - Corsair cx430v2- 2.7k
UPS - APC 600va - 1.5k

Total - 27k ( This is a rough estimate of prices. You can get cheaper deals locally)

Add an asus optical drive for 1k more.

 

[topgear]

Intel Core i3 - 2120 @ 6.5k
Asus P8B75M-LX @ 4k
Corsair 1333 Mhz DDR3 ram 4Gb @ 1k
PSU : Corsair Cx430v2/VS450 @ 2.5k
Zotac GTX 650 Ti @ 11k

now if you do have a old cabinet and sata HDD use them for the time being ..

Seems good.. but he would buy a 1080p monitor next year.. which is why i was considering zotac 2gb 650ti.

 

[Cilus]

What is the price of Zotax 650 Ti 2 GB version?

 

[a-raam]

What is the price of Zotax 650 Ti 2 GB version?

Here you go:
ZOTAC NVIDIA GTX 650 Ti 1GB 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card: Flipkart.com

but looks like i mistook the AMP! edition for the standard one.

 

[Cilus]

Buddy, read my post 1st. I asked for the price of the 2GB model, not the 1GB one.

However, I got the price from Flipkat, it is Rs 12,338. Now the point is Zotac 650 Ti is not a very powerful card and comes with a short 128 bit memory bus. As a result the benefit it will get with 2 GB Video Ram is questionable. But if you can spend 12.4K then my suggestion will be add another 600 bucks and get the Gigabyte/Sapphire HD 7850 2GB which is a far better card.

 

[vickybat]

Yup 2gb model is not worth the price

ZOTAC GRAPHICS CARD GTX 650 Ti 2GB DDR5 AMP! Edition

At that price, 650-ti approaches gtx 660 and 7850 territory.

GIGABYTE GRAPHIC CARD GTX 660 2GB DDR5 OC

wouldnt that go overbudget??? i mean
gpu 13k
proccesor 3.5k
mobo 3k
ram 1.5k
hdd 4k
psu 2k
cabinet ??

approx 28kk

 

[panwala95]

but sir it really bottlenecks the higher end cards-
CPU Benchmarks : Far Cry 3 Performance, Benchmarked

i would suggest
cpu- i3 -3220 -7k
gigabyte - ga b75m d3h-4.5k
gtx 650ti-10.5k
wd caviar blue 500gb -3.5k
ram - corsair value 1.2k
cm elite 430 -2k
total-28.7k
