I think yes because the the i5 memory controller can support 1600 mhz rams and it should'nt be a problem.I use 1333mhz transcend rams in my dp55wb and its pretty solid.You can try corsair.

Buddy i don't have any idea on retailers in trivandrum but it should'nt be any problem and you can easily purchase your hardware.

Finally there's always an option to order online from lynx or exoduspc.

taking i5 & no aftermarket HSF? insult for that i5. Rating: 9 without HSF

My current monitor supports 1280 * 720. Its pretty sucky (a BENQ T52WA), so thinking of an upgrade next year or something.

I'd love to game on higher resolutions like 1600 or 1920. With certain graphics lowered down ofcourse (like HDR,shadows,extra physics etc) once I get a decent monitor.

Also, is it true that AA is not required if you game at 1920 + resolutions?

Sorry for the double post. I do not know how to install heat sinks and fans, and more over, with this rig the price tag is hovering around 48-50k.

Maybe over time, I can try putting new HSF (I had to google the term lol)? Or should I use the cheaper thermal paste for heatsinks?

EDIT : WOAH!!!! The CM Hyper 212 costs only 2.2k! Nice! I think I can get this.

Also, my Intel DP55WB supports a micro-atx case. Is it okay if I use it in the CM Centurion 590?

@ falling

Perfect system for you buddy.
Since you dont plan to OC aftermarket hsf isnt really necessary but stock intel coolers arent of good quality anymore.The hyper 212 plus is good so grab it. Even i am thinking of getting my hands on one.

Regarding resolutions the 5850 can handle full hd with ease and anti aliasing has no relations with 1920x1080 resolutions.Its just a method to remove jagged edges from in game graphical animations.

Finally the dp55wb can fit with all atx/matx cabinets so its not a problem at all since all atx cabinets support matx boards.I have installed my dp55wb in a coolermaster elite 335 ATX cabby.

Thanks vickybat!

The total cost along with the Hyper 212 is Rs. 51300.
Now all I have to do is buy all this I'll try asking my brother's friend who is in Bangalore to get the parts. And another - he is pretty good at bargaining.

Shops do sometimes give discounts if you buy a lot of parts, don't they?

 

[vickybat]

@ falling

Ya buddy shops do give some discounts when you buy a lot of parts and the same happened with me.
Anyway grab your parts and post along with pics in the latest purchase section.

 

[falling]

Thanks a lot guys

I won't be able to get the rig now, but I will place an order for the parts. That way I can buy them when I get the money. I can't buy right now because my brother is going abroad so we have a slight financial strain. Will be able to buy around March or April.

Kinda late to buy I know

Anyways, I thank you all for your help and advice.
Take care.

Why would he need an OEM HSF. See his motherboard. He cannot OC, so a stock Intel is just fine.

A bigger screen would be better for the type of power you are harnessing. When ever you have the funds move to a minimal 1440 x 900. 24" would be just sweet.

Anti Aliasing is required at all resolutions. Those jagged edges..damn..!

You DO NOT need an OEM HSF. Not sure why people are recommending them. You will never OC, with your board. The stock one is just fine. The manual you will get with the mother board explains quite explicitely how to dock the CPU and mount the HSF. Though if you have disposable income at hand, then get a Hyper 212. Hardly going to do you much good.

Thanks asigh
I once trying to get the entire rig under 50,000.
If there is availability problems for the HD 5850, then I could go for the 5770.Without the 5850 and CM Hyper 212, and instead a 5770, I should get the entire rig around Rs. 42,700

Again, I'm hoping I can discount/bargain for a lower price to further lower the price.

Just one last question : how long should one use the computer? I have the habit of running my PC 24/7 without shutting down. Thinking of stopping this once the new rig comes in. What are your suggestions? And also, for gaming - what is the maximum amount of time I should spend without overheating the PC to hell?

1. If you can sacrifice the CM Hyper 212 which is not required and invest more money -- get the HD5850. Though till 1400x900 the HD5770 is just as good. If you ever have plans for full HD gaming, then pick the HD5850. That is a monster card.

2. You can leave the system on 24 x 7. No issues. You might need to restart once in a while to apply a patch/Windows update/installation.

3. Game as long as your brain can sustain it. The chips can handle it. That is why we pay so much for them.

oh yah. i missed that part. Thanks. well even at stock i5 750 is pretty powerful. Later when the juice seems to run out, get a good mobo & HSF & then OC. for now, stock is enough.

Yes absolutely. Since the stock HSF comes in the bundle. The OP can try that out. If things are getting hot, for sure a OME HSF can be procured.
