suggestions on my(proposed) gaming pc config

CPU AMD Phenom II 1075T 7420
Motherboard ASUS M5A88-M 5486

in the unfortunate event of my mom saying that that rig is too expensive,i will have to say goodbye to HD 6850.(and will hopefully have to sneak a HD 7750 next year assuming i get good marks)but i'm hell bent getting a rig by May
so is 1075T Ok or should i get something with integrated graphics like FX6100 or A6 Llano APU's
and tell me an apt PSU for this config(and a component wattage calculator site so i dont have to irritate you guys wits PSU questions)

Buddy, who said you that FX 6100 has integrated Graphics? Even a little google search will save you from asking these kind of unnecessary questions.

And regarding Llano, then although you'll get the best IGP performance but that is still not enough to run all the games in Full HD resolution in high setting.

and at the end, don't communicate that you can't spend that much of money. These kind of information should be communicated at the begining, otherwise, look all our efforts are going in vain, we have to start from the begining. For example, if you're going for Llano, we need to suggest you a config of a complete different platform.

Befor asking another question here, please let us know the exact budget of yours and we will start accordingly.

@Members, stop suggeting here until OP posts his exact budget and requirement. Otherwise it will be continued without any success.

Buddy, 1.who said you that FX 6100 has integrated Graphics? Even a little google search will save you from asking these kind of unnecessary questions.

And regarding Llano, then although you'll get the best IGP performance but that is still not enough to run all the games in 2.Full HD resolution in high setting.

and at the end, don't communicate that you can't spend that much of money. These kind of information should be communicated at the begining, otherwise, look all our efforts are going in vain, we have to start from the begining.

1.on FX6100's flipkart page theres something like this in specifications "Integrated Graphics : Yes" so i thought it has intgrtd. graphics.flipkat should be accurate with thier details
2.dude.if i want to get just a proccy do you think i will want to play games at high and full HD?

good news! the main cause(new monitor that was hiking the rig cost to 40k+ is gone. i will reuse my ancient HPvp17 monitor(which after being unused for 3 years still runs) with my config
the native res. is 1280 X 1024 will this be supported by windows?
because when i tested moni. with my laptop it scaled down to 1024 X 768

Get the i3 2100

 

[Cilus]

CommanderShawnzer, again I'm asking you, What is your exact budget or the amount you can spend? Answer that 1st. Do also mention that what the components you wanna exclude or include for now.

budget decreased to 35-37K
Ok and i'll get intel i3 2100 Now then sell it when SB prices go down when IB releases in india(possibly to my ill-informed non-geek friends)
and upgrade to i5 2500K and get some good radeon HD 7000 series gfx card
i'm not using my monitor too since its already 5.6 years old so it may conk off very soon,also one of my speakers don't produce sound so its might as well dead
summary : this rig will be built from nothing
i've decided on this build(as recomended by my cousin with some modifications made my me)

CPU Intel Core i3-2100 6632
Motherboard Intel DH67CL 5666
GPU Sparkle GT 520 3058

Speaker Creative SBS A120 1209

should i get Corsair CMPSU-430CXV2UK(out of stock on flipkart and cheaper) or Corsair CMPSU-500CXV2UK(in stock) is the CX500 overkill for this config?
are there any good under 5k gaming grade graphics cards apart from the one mentioned in the config?
the most important part : can this config play battlefield 3 at Low settings at 1366 x 768 reso. @ 40fps or more?
which is better sparkle GT 520 or Sapphire HD 6670
Intel DH67CL OR Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H? which is more VFM?

Obviously the 6670 is the one to go for. It'll give you playable fps on Bf3.

Get the Corsair CX430V2. 500W is not overkill but to reduce costs, getting 430W is justifiable.

For the card, go for HD6670. It can play BF3 at mid-high settings and still give you very playable frame rates.

the Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H will be more Value for Money, but, it sacrifices on the number of USB ports and Sata ports. Nothing else. Decide it yourself, if you need those ports, go for Intel DH67, if not, H61 is the way to go.

Moreover, the money you save from the above two components can be added to a better card like HD7750 for around 6.5K. You are saving around 2k above, add 1k more to get a much better performer. Serpent16 here got one, and he's pretty much happy about it.

Here's some benchmarks on that HD7750 card.

i have a question about HD 6670's compatibility with intel DH67CL or Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H
both those Mobo's have 1 PCIe x16 2.0 each,while HD 6670 Requires PCIe x16 2.1 will this card be compatible with GA-H61M-D2H??
yea,it will work found out

now about UPS which one(The UPS should be just enough for me to close a game and shut down the pc safely like 10-15 min.in case of power cut)

 

[CommanderShawnzer]

can someone Review this config(meaning : will all the components work with each other?) and tell me the real-world prices
can someone tell me that do speakers with output of 1W have decent sound quality?(or what other speaker model should i go for?)

Good to see that you found out.

@CommanderShawnzer the 6770 is not available for 5k, its around 6.5-6.8k.. Also the dell IN2030M is 5.5k locally.
