Hey Bro. go for NVIDIA Geforce GTX 470 Graphics Card Price: Rs. 20,000/-
great graphics card with great performance and ur over all hardware is good............................go for it.

sahilmalikroorkee, the information you're posting is back dated and obsolated. GTX 470 has already reached its end of life.

Sarthak, from the provided information we are not getting any clear idea. Download a software called CPU-Z and run it. It can show you all the informations regarding CPU, Motherboard, GPU, RAm etc.

After installing run it. In the main window you'll find different tabs displaying information for different components. The default selected one is Processor.

thank you:-

before upgrading your graphics card take a look at your PSU too. may be you will need to upgrade that. also post your CPU-Z screen shots.

@sarthak.saxena: do post the motherboard company...
u said u want to improve pc for gaming
so do you want to upgrade the whole cabinet(inside components) or just few components under budget 20k

@Cilus: ur comments don't match with response of post#2

^^is that a bug in CPU-Z that no mobo manufacture name is shown...

 

[mithun_mrg]

@op is that a branded pc ,ithink it is G31/ICH7 mobo ,with a pcie X16 port @op can u click & post a pic of the mb itself so we can verify it has a physical X16 port

[mithun_mrg]

that is a X16 port u can go with any GPU my suggestion
Ati radeon 6850@9.5K
FSP SagaII500@2.5K or Corsair 500W CX@3K
& save the rest of ur cash & upgrade to Quad/hex core phenom when bulldozer comes out

BTW to play Gears or war3 add this Xbox360-4Gb@14K

 

[sarthak.saxena]

thanks mithun-mrg

i extended my budget and planing to buy
asus UL ENGTX550 Ti DC/DI/1GD5
or
asus EAH6970 DCII/2DI4S/2GD5
and
crosair gs800
nzxt guardian 921rb

plz help me choose the graphic card

GTX 550Ti is only ~8.5k

HD6970 is completely different and much more powerful GPU - it will cost your around ~22k

a corsair GS600 (~4k ) is sufficient for a single HD6970 and if you want to get GS800 you better look for Corsair TX650v2 ( ~5.2k ) - both have similar price tag.

Do let us know your total budget for the PSU+GPU

 

[sarthak.saxena]

my bugdet is 30k

 

[Tech_Wiz]

Dont go for 550 TI. Its not worth its money as a much better option of HD 6850 is just few hundred Rs away.

 

[Cilus]

30K is a very good budget for PSU + GPU. But my suggestion is not to spend that much right now. The reason is you'll be needing atleast a quad core CPU to utilize the highend graphics cards like HD 6870 or above, including HD 6970.
Your current CPU will bottleneck the GPU loke HD 6970.

For now get the MSI HD 6950 2GB Twin Frozr III @ 16K and Corsair TX850V2 @ 6.8K. Keep the rest of the money for a future Processor upgrade

 

[vaibhav23]

But for the above mentioned GPU will not the processor be a bottleneck

 

[topgear]

^^ yep, and that's why cilus told him to Keep the rest of the money but Op will need to get a new mobo+cpu+psu anyway

@ OP - you can wait for some more time for the BD cpu release or else sell of your cpu+mobo+ram @ ~3k or more - that will give you 30+~3k

with 33k you can opt for :

MSI HD 6950 2GB Twin Frozr III @ 16K
Corsair GS600 @ 4k
Asus M5A88-M @ 5.5k
Phenom II 955BE @ 5.5k
Gskill Ripjaws DDR3 4GB x1 F3-12800CL9S-4GBRL @ 2k

total = 33k

 

[sarthak.saxena]

thank you every one

i will wait till bd to come and then buy them

 

[Cilus]

Another option is you can look for a second hand Core2Quad CPU like Q9500, Q6600 or Q8200/8300/8400. If you can get one within 5 to 6K, go for it.
