Upgrade for my old PC

[truegenius]

I am wondering if I should go for i5 Haswell or i7 ivybridge

Also guys I would prefer Asus mobos

haswell provides only 5-10% more per clock performance in comparision to ivy bridge
so instead of lower clocked haswell, go with higher clocked ivy bridge

and if you go high clocked haswell route then it won't be that much vfm

so in below rig include an asus board upto 11k to keep it in 35k budget

intel i5-3570 Rs13k
gskill sniper 1600mhz cl9 8GB (2x4GB) Rs4.5k
wd caviar black 1TB 5.5k
coolermaster hyper 212 evo Rs2.5k or if your cabinet is not big enough the hyper tx3 evo for Rs1.5k heatsink

~24.5-25.5k total

with z75 or z77 chipset board, you can overclock 3570 (non-k) to 4ghz base + turbo
which is good overclock for long run

But don't you think FX 8350 would be much better idea ??

 

[harshilsharma63]

Although I think FX 8350 will be better performer, but anyways:

i5 4430 (13000)
Asus H87M-E (7880)
G.Skill RipjwasX 4 GB (2200)
WD Blue 1 TB (3800)

toatl: 26880

no need of aftermarket cooler for this

@abhidev: Send a PM to Cilus (he has very good knowledge in PC hardware) and point to this thread.

I wonder how much HD5770 will sync (performancewise) with newGen system which u r upgrading

 

[Chaitanya]

If you want intel anyway then
ASUS Z87-K @ 12k

i5-4670k @ 17k

Although I think FX 8350 will be better performer, but anyways:

i5 4430 (13000)
Asus H87M-E (7880)
G.Skill RipjwasX 4 GB (2200)
WD Blue 1 TB (3800)

toatl: 26880

already suggested a better CPU & mobo combo..

very much identical to HD 7750

ok here is the updated one
New Build

Processor = Intel Core i5-4670K - 16.5k OR Intel Core i5-3570K - 14.9k (which one is ideal)
Mobo = ?
RAM = RipjawsX(8GB CL9) @ 4k OR gskill sniper 1600mhz cl9 8GB (2x4GB) Rs4.5k (what's the diff)
HDD = WD 1 tb @ 4.5k
CPU Cooler = CM Hyper 212 evo @ 2.2k

i didnt tried the ripjawsx
but since its cheaper and same specs so it sounds better vfm

i found that gskill sniper overclocks very good
1600mhz cl9 @1.5v gskill sniper overclocked to 2ghz cl10 @1.6v on an amd phenom 1090t platform (phenom aren't ram speed friendly)
(check attachment for prime95, jedec profiles, overclocked settings, i ran the test for 7 minutes only because temps already crossed the limit of 60 (temperature 2))

its another point is that it have jedec profile for over 1333mhz (for comparision, corsair vangence lacks this) due to which it sets itself @1.6ghz at first boot while vangence needs manual tweaking
so tell someone to post ripjawsx jedec profile shot for more detailed comparision

personally i like sniper's design too

IMO, the AMD configuration suggested by Chaitanya is the one you should get.

It has heating problems right?? I don't know why but I am bit hesitant and now more confused

 

[Chaitanya]

LOL..
It's default heatsink is very nice & keeps cool even for small overclocks..

If you are worried of overheating then read overheating of Haswell CPU's

 

[Cilus]

It has heating problems right?? I don't know why but I am bit hesitant and now more confused

A CPU does have higher power consumption does not mean it has heating issues. The idle power consumption of Piledriver Processors are almost identical to Sandy Bridge Processors and the temperature will be like 26 to 29 degree C with the stock cooler. With highest load, say all 8 cores at 100%, at stock speed, the temperature will be like 60 to 62 degree Celsius.

 

[Chaitanya]

Yeah heat generation is independent of rate of flow of heat.

don't wory about heating, in amd rig suggested by chaitanya he already included a best vfm aftermarket cooler which will keep it cool

FX 8350 @ 12k
ASUS m5a97 r2.0 evo @ 7k
RipjawsX(8GB CL9) @ 4k
Seasonic S12II 620W @ 5.5k
Toshiba / WD 1 tb @ 4.5k
CM Hyper 212 evo @ 2.2k

Total : 35.2k

hey thanks for the detailed info ...well also read on the internet that some had problems fitting the ripjaws near the cooler and some said they managed to fit it as they are not too tall...is that so??

But don't you think FX 8350 would be much better idea ??

just saw this and this...

 

[harshilsharma63]

just saw this and this...

Performance using all cores: FX 8350 won.
Single core performance: i5 4670k won, but name any three software which require considerable processing power and are still single-threaded.
Overclocking: FX 8350 won (though you'll nit need to overclock it really, just for the fun of it
Value: i5 4670k won., but that's on the basis of foreign prices, not Indian prices.

And FX 8350 based system costs less than an equivalent intel based system. And with fixed budget, you can accommodate a better graphic card with fx 8350 than with an Intel based config.

but from a long term perspective isn't the LGA1150 based cpu preferred as the next version Intel cpu are gonna use the same....well its also true that this can change anytime and its not that I am gonna upgrade every year :/??

 

[avinandan012]

^ only if you are thinking to upgrade the processor

 

[abhidev]

Others pls give ur inputs too....I'll be buying the components tomorrow or else I'll have to wait till the next weekend

 

[Chaitanya]

AM3+ socket is future proof too as Steamroller will be using same socket

 

[Cilus]

That is an advantage for AMD too right. They already confirmed that Steam Roller is also going to be compatible with AM3+ socket.
