Thank you guys for your all help

1050T mayn't be best gaming proccy but @ 2.8Ghz with 6 cores, its a good overall processor. one may loose 5-10 FPS depending on games but still 1050T can't be declared as a bad choice. OP can go with this processor.

 

[Cool Buddy]

It's 1055t. BTW, AMD has launched Phenom II X6 1075t @ 3.0 Ghz. Hope it's available soon. Also, Athlon II X4 645 @ 3.1 Ghz has been released.

^^firstly if someone can afford a powerful combo well within his budget, i see no harm in getting it.. secondly i7 950 bests any 6-core alternative from AMD in not only gaming but also any other task you can think of! and why did you highlight the gfx card part. reasons?

also if you say 15k is waste then why many people in this forum have spent on i7s or 1090t? there is a huge performance difference.

First of all, I apologize for starting up a old thread.
I'l be quick.
950 is anytime a go when comapring with 1090.
Phenom X4 is no match.
But my question is what is good for gaming (for next one year atleast) :
950 (15.5) + nvidia 460 (13) = 28.5
OR
955 (8) + amd 5870 (22) = 30
???
.
I know I am really being naive here, as ofcourse I am shamelessly questioning your config when you are but more experienced and intillengent for least i can say. But its really hard to let my curosity in.
As for the bolded thing. My deepest apologise.
I checked out bencharkmarks. And you are right as always.
I was confused as i thought 2.5k difference (between 5850 & 460) with 5-8 increment in FPS, was worth. But obviously, it isnt as it is clear with the comparision between 5770 and 460, which too have a 2.5 k difference in it.
.
.
Also my deepest regards for providing fail-proof and best of advices on TDF.
.

.
Keep up the good work sire.

thanks..we are free to question each other as this only yields better results for the op. it depends, some games and settings are cpu dependent while most are heavily GPU dependent. also hd5870 will will yield better results at higher resolutions. moreover the diff in hd5850 and gtx460 is 6-7fps and in few games gtx460 is also ahead. also hd5850 was becoming out of his budget if he went with i7, so suggested him gtx460. as the hd5850 casts around 15.8k. the diff is 3.5k almost.

 

[coderunknown]

HD5870 comes into play for mainly FULL HD gaming + turning on all the eye candy. yes you'll lose out some FPS as X4 955 not as fast as the i5 7**. but HD5850 which is a bit slower coupled with a i5 750/760 will yield slower result, if you game on Full HD & try run games as Metro2033.

Hi
Instead of going for Corsair Kit of 2gbX2, it is better to go for 4gb Corsair 1600mhz. Single Dimm. Difficult to source it, you will find it at www.bwindia.net rest of the suggestions on this page are good. Go for it.

Bye

This is what I would recommend about your new desktop. Only suggestions, you don't have to change anything if you don't want to.

* Intel CPU is good, next step would be Quad Core, and looking for 3GHz or higher, but the price might become too expensive.

* 4 GB RAM is great, but remember if you run Microsoft Windows you will need their 64-bit version to access more than 3 GB, there are some affordable "media PC" configurations from HP that have 6GB.

* Intel motherboard, would like to know the bus speed and all of the capabilities that come with it, sometimes it's nice to have built-in wireless and options for future expansion.

* 256 DDR3 video card, today the 1GB video cards are affordable, if you need crisp graphics for games or editing movies I would suggest more.

* 320 GB HDD, someone else already mentioned the speed should be 7200 rpm, but if you need fast read times and more throughput consider using SCSI and speeds of 10k or 15k, then buy more than one to use for your own RAID array.

thanks guys for all to your support

 

[Reaper_vivek]

6850 is good..it competes well with GTX 460 1GB...regarding the PSU...seasonic is one of the best brands of PSU(SO i've read) and urs is 520W..it will work...

 

[Ishu Gupta]

HD 6850 can play almost every game at high.

 

[abirthedevil]

Sapphire HD6850 sells for 11.5k online and is a very good card in terms of price performance ratio, it competes well with the GTX460 1gb which sells for 1.5-2k more all reviews i have read point to the fact that its a good card check out the following review it might helphttp://www.pureoverclock.com/review.php?id=1107&page=1 and the PSU, it should be able to handle the 6850 easily
