PC Buying Guide and Suggested Configs 2015 - Q2

re: PC Buying Guide and Suggested Configs 2014 - Q2

he is not gonna save 6k
i3 4130 is available cheaper locally for around 7.2k. people here itself has bought the same for that price. a compatible h81 mobo is at 3.7k(snapdeal). total cost comes just below 11k.
g2010/g2020 + h61(remember the lack of usb 3.0 port here ) will come as close as 7k 6.2k.with the saved 4k 4.7k, he could most probably arrange a gt 630 which should perform equally with the hd 4400.

There we are saving 4.7k. Now if we cut down on monitor, we can easily save 3k more. For 7.7k you can easily get a 7770. This would give the buyer much better gaming experience.

Your i3 suggestion will be better in that case where the buyer is ok with the 6-8 months wait.

Trust me, I often come around people with 30k budget and they really don't like the idea of waiting and spending more.

I say make 2 rigs under 30k for these 2 different types.
1) - Those who agree to wait for some months and upgrade to a discrete GPU
2) - Those who want to start gaming right after buying (IMO where the majority lies)

re: PC Buying Guide and Suggested Configs 2014 - Q2

Will there be any difference in performance between Core i3 4130 & Core i5 4440 using GTX650Ti Boost 2GB?

I mean i3 is a Dual Core & i5 is a Quad Core right?

Do I need to upgrade to Core i5 4440 from Core i3 4130?

Please tell me honestly and no trolling...

re: PC Buying Guide and Suggested Configs 2014 - Q2

[MENTION=105611]bavusani[/MENTION], GTX 650ti Boost is mid range card and can easily handled by i3 4130. So for GPU bottleneck, there is no need to upgrade the CPU to an i5. In general CPU performance, games which are multi-threaded in nature, i5 4440 will perform better due to its higher processing power, not because it can reduce the GPU bottleneck.
[MENTION=140941]harshilsharma63[/MENTION], I think it is time to replace the 2X2 GB configuration in the low end budgets. Even EVM is now offering 1333MHz 4GB X 1 Ram @ Rs 2250 in Flipkart. (*www.flipkart.com/evm-ddr3-4-gb-pc-...=ram&ref=a2adb1c8-5873-4eda-8ac5-2fe83b5d7a7f)

However, my choice is Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600MHz model which is available @ 2.66K in Snapdeal. Link: *www.snapdeal.com/product/corsair-ddr3-4gb-desktop-ram/435138?

Will make changes tomorrow (now free from college work) including some new configs. Vengeance's price is not stable at all, so EVM will be better IMO, though I'll provide a note mentioning Vengeance, RipjawsX and HyperX Blu too.

re: PC Buying Guide and Suggested Configs 2014 - Q2

Recently Snapdeal is somehow offering relatively lower price for the PC components. Dell S2240L is available around 8.5K there. :*www.snapdeal.com/product/dell-s2240l-215-inch-led/591240

Also, the price for the R9 270X cards need to be updated, their price has been reduced a lot, compared to 17.6K

Sapphire R9 270X Dual X card is available around 14.7K only. Link: *www.snapdeal.com/product/sapphire-radeon-r9-270x-2gbddr5/1555288064

Sapphire R9 270X Vapor-X is available @ 16.468K. Link: *www.snapdeal.com/product/sapphire-vaporx-r9-270x-2g/2111742387

Asus Direct CU II Top R9 270X is available @ 15.6K. It is the most VFM custo 270X card. Link: *mdcomputers.in/graphics-card/asus-r9-270x-dc-2-top-2gb-ddr5.html&filter=ATTRIBU=R9+270X=80=GPU

So in the 50K config based on FX-8320, you can replace the R9 270 card with the Sapphire 270X Dual X version and instead of vapor-X, you can suggest the Direct CU II card which will save budget by 2K and let you add a good cabinet in the same budget.

Change the hd 7700 to 250x?

 

[Cilus]

re: PC Buying Guide and Suggested Configs 2014 - Q2

7770 and 250X are same card. So get whichever is cheaper.
