11. Anything else which you would like to say?

My choice
ASUS M5A88-M Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600MHz
XFX Radeon HD 6790 1GB DDR5
Corsair 600W CX series
NZXT Guardian 921RB Chasis

Currently i'm using Cooler Master Hyper TX3 for CPU cooling so i need suggestions from you ppl if that will suffice or i should get a better one

The suggested graphic card seems to be an overkill for my gaming..

Hey what about CPU cooler? Will the CM Hyper TX3 suffice?

 

[the_conqueror]

HD 7850 is not overkill for gaming at 1080p. Rig suggested to you by Sainatarajan is good. Don't know much about Hyper TX3. AFAIK, it is more or less equal to the stock cooler provided by AMD. So, Hyper 212 evo is recommended for OCing.

oops i think i have given wrong assumption when i said i want to run at full HD, i'm fine with running at 1280x1024 with settings maxed out (i only meant that i run win 7 at full HD)

 

[Sainatarajan]

HD 7850 can play any game till now @ High to Ultra Settings in 1080P .
@ OP
Do you want to buy a graphic card for 5K ???
HD 7850 is not an overkill @ 1080P .

Also , When the config comes to your Budget , Why dont you go with it. Wait , Till Other Members tell their suggestion.

I can spend till 10k for graphic card.. i'm on a tight budget actually so any component costing over 10k is giving me goosebumps. Thanks for your suggestion

Then get MSI GTX 560 (non-Ti) @ 10.5K. I think it is enough for good gaming experience @ 1080P resolution.

Since you are mainly building this rig for gaming and also planning to overclock, I suggest you get a good CPU cooler too. Then you can overclock your CPU to 3.8 to 4 GHz easily which might increase the gaming performance.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO @ 2.2K is a very good buy. Another option is Deepcool ICEEDGE 400 XT @ 2.1K

Buy HD 7770 then. It is fine for 720p.

It's getting faster with every driver release by AMD.

Keep it. It's fine.
