new pc help

[hdknitro]

I want to upgrade my system to the max gaming oriented possibility. What would you suggest, if I had not to change the following
*650 W PSU cooler master(xtreme series)
*9800 GTX NVidia
*Cooler master cab(CM590)

The budget is about 50K

I want a new processor, ram, motherboard. And change PSU if needed

 

[coderunknown]

what parts you want. please specify clearly.

 

[mavihs]

Can you fill the below questionnaire so we can suggest you a good config!

1. What is your MAX budget?
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
3. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
4. Planning to overclock?
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
7. What resolution will the screen run at?
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary

i would recommend this -

Core i7 930 2.8GHz @ 13.9k
MSI X58 Pro @ 10.8k
Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600MHz C9 Titanium @ 6.8k (more than enough)
Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 @ 15.8k (better than 9800 gtx)
Corsair VX550W @ 4.7k

total - 52k

which monitor do you have??

 

[hdknitro]

i have a LG flatron 1943C

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

then in my opinion the above rig will be a good one

[Jaskanwar Singh]

[hdknitro]

I am already using a core 2duo, with 4 GB ram on an asus board, so no need to hurry, I can wait for couple of months, but want a usb3 compatible motherboard only

hi sam,
Sorry for the late reply.
I want a new processor, motherboard,ram and PSU if required

 

[Mr.Digital]

YOU CAN FOR FOR GIGABYTE X58 UD3R / UD7 / UD9 DEPENDING ON UR BUDJET.
THESE MBs COME WITH USB3.0.

I WOULD SUGGEST GO FOR X58AUD7/R.

any specific reason you want to go for USB3?
if you want USB3 in this amount then you can go for an AMD setup. just that it'll give you a little less performance than this but you can cover that up by OCing!

 

[aby geek]

if hes not gonna use sli he can go with lynnfield with a single gpu.
gigabyte has few 1156 mobos with usb 3.0.

though his upgrade will be limited to 860s, 870, 870s, 875k, and 880.

that won't be a good option as 1156 will come to its EOL starting next year!

 

[aby geek]

sandy bridges to have lga-1155 and 2011. even bloomfield phases out q3 2011.
wont waiting be good for q1 sandy bridges?

its still 1yr+ for Bloomfield to be taken over by the new architecture (32nm). so its pretty safe.

for the H55/H57/Q57 its not so safe. i not sure but Intel going to release i5 760 later this year. its going to be a LGA1156 socket processor. what i want say is, why Intel releasing a processor for a platform thats almost EOL. for system upgraders? maybe. but till now not even a single processor been announced (names only) for the upcoming LGA1155. i am kinda suspicious

 

[aby geek]

abhi intel potato chips kha raha hai sandy chips february ke baad banayega

ya if you see it that way bloomfield is the only desicion to take.

I am really confused, on the processors. my friend said that i should buy a AMD phenom X6, that will do my job, and it is cheap. And I want to know if new proc's are coming than how will they effect the current market and how much the price can dip.

i7 930 better in games than X6 1090T. you can do 1 thing. get a 1055T & OC it to 3.2Ghz & it'll excel in gaming too

 

[mavihs]

if you can OC then go for AMD, will give your more performance & better VFM.
