I want to upgrade/buy cpu(intel only), mobo, RAM, cpu cooler, 1tb HDD

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans:I'll be mainly using the PC for media, gaming, software development tools, web surfing.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.

Ans: I already have a 500gb seagate...I am thinking of getting 1tb more

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: no. I have a LG 21.5" monitor

[Chaitanya]

forgot to mention that I would prefer only Intel cpus

Why??

I already have Corsair vx550 psu

Thats crap..

 

[abhidev]

Why??

not any particular reason but I had never bought an AMD cpu ever before and also don't wanna experiment buying it ...I know they are good too but I'll stick to intel

Thats crap..

really...why??? It won't be sufficient enough is it?

 

[Chaitanya]

Why i5 ?? FX 8350 is better then top end i5 while being 4k cheaper @ same time
AnandTech | Bench - CPU

Well if you can get a new & better one why not to replace??(PSU)

If you want intel anyway then

[abhidev]

I don't know maan I am bit hesitant and confused ...lets wait for others to post in their suggestions too...

Also has anyone use ASUS P8Z77-V ???

 

[ASHISH65]

I already have Corsair vx550 psu

That psu is really very good one and of VX high endseries.No need to get new one

 

[avinandan012]

650Ti Boost 1GB is available for 12K. In case you want an decent GPU.

 

[abhidev]

yeaa...n I think 550w is enough for this setup

650Ti Boost 1GB is available for 12K. In case you want an decent GPU.

I don't think my old gpu will gv me any decent offer if I sell it...and anyways its able to handle current games nicely..so will keep the gpu as it is for now

 

[Nighthawk12]

Get GTX 660.

 

[Chaitanya]

yeaa...n I think 550w is enough for this setup

Silly me..

I confused it for CX series.. Sorry



BTW what abt AMD vs Intel?? What you have to say??
In 16k range HD 7870 is recommended
or
GTX 660 in 13k range

 

[abhidev]
