the one u gave is good but wat about buyin an ecs or msi mobo and going for ati 5850 sapphire..?

^^ ECS isn't good mobo & their after sales service sucks. products aren't very good. also get GTX460 1Gb. slower than HD5850 but also cheaper by lot. & runs cooler.

B

can i cut on the Corsair VX550W@ 4.7k and CM elite 430 @ 2.7k to buy a HD5850 or do i need them if i wanna OC ???

better don't. 550W from Corsair best bet. well you can cut down on the cabinet. but GTX460 1Gb as good as HD5850. go for HD5850 if found cheap.

B

cut to make it a zebronics or NZXT gamma?? keepin overclocking in mind

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------

and gtx260 dont have dx11 support will that affect my gaming????

yes, Gamma a good & better looking alternative if found for below 2.5k

GTX260? its an old card & consumes lot of power. avoid it.

B

o mistake 460

B

i have decided not to OC cause of risk and after being totally clueless after surfing for hours for info.
so ive decided on this built and need suggestions..

and yea i have kboard and speakers alreadywith me which r not included in this budget.

Get i5 760
get gigabyte mobo
get vx550w
get gtx460 1gb(similar performance+physx support)
get nzxt gamma.

Intel

Core i5 750 @9.5k

I opted for it too !! My greatest mistake in life. In second month it went for replacement. It just sucks all your brain out !!

Be cautious :-D

but do i rly need an expensive PSU even if im not going to overclock ??? and will have to give up dx11 support of Nvidia

umm and why not Zebronics reaper ??

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

o and do u know the price of i5 760??

^^

If you have such monstrous card like HD5850, you must have a good PSU. So Corsair VX550W @ 4.5k is your take.

i5 760 will be priced aound 10k.

Why don't you go for AMD Setup like Phenom II X4 955 BE @ 8k. This way you can get around 1.5k left.

Or else look for

X4 945 @ 6.9k

The AM3+ Mobo prices were also pretty decent.

B

man but isnt a superior processor and vid card more important than a awsom psu and mobo in a gaming PC?? if i invest more in the psu ill have 2 cut down on the processor and make it an amd or cut down on the vid card and make it gtx460...

mayb i can go for a vfm psu like
Tagan Stone Rock TG500-U37 500 Watt @ 3.5k or
Zebronics 600W Pro @ 3.7k

minimum PSU you require is Corsair VX450. its strict minimum that can support your setup without any problem. buy get the highest rated PSU as you can. get everything in balanced, you mayn't understand the benefits now but will understand over time as you'll have fewer hardware failures (or maybe no).

blagame said:

take roughly 500-800 bucks more than i5 750.

Zebronics PSU sucks. don't even think about it. also get the best one in your budget. i.e. Corsair VX450W or 550W.

also going for AMD won't have a hit at your performance. cause you won't pair your proccy with a Asus Ares or Asus Matrix. so performance will be ~2-3% less if going with AMD setup. so get i5 750/760 + GTX460 1Gb or X4 955 + HD5850 1Gb. will offer you same performance at same price. now its your call.

@OP

Get a X4 proccys(in my prev post) + 5850 combo. You can save upto 1.5k if you choose X4 955 BE.

So that you can invest that in PSU.

One more benefit of going with AMD setup is that AMD mobos have e-Sata and USB3 support which many intel mobos don't have.

Why dont u listen?
U need vx550w

Vwad these features are in intel mobos also. No such thing.Though usb3 & sata3 are in some mobos only coz intel has not provided native support for them.

Esata is there.

k im confused will consider amd 955be built can som1 give a good 1 for 53k?? leaving margin for VAt and price diff??

Core i5 750 @ 9.5k
MSI P55-CD53 @6.7k
2 * 2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 5.1k
Zotac GTX460 1GB GDDR5 @ 14.5k

NZXT GAMMA @ 2k
BenQ 22" G2220 FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 7.5k
Logitech Mouse @ 0.3k

Total - 53.2k

B

gotta good 955be built with logitech mx518 mouse and sapphire hd5850 ????

ok even 955be will be good...
what is more important to you a good processor and gfx card or a mx518 mouse???

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

you can get --
Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz B.E. @ 7.8k
MSI 880GMA E45 @ 6k
GTX460 OR HD5850....i would say gtx460 because performance diff is negligible for the 2k premium you pay for it...plus you get physx in games also..gtx460 is an excellent card...

B

Core i5 750 @ 9.5k
MSI P55-CD53 @6.7k
2 * 2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 5.1k

Esata is there.

As far as I have seen, the intel boards having those features cost more than 10k, while AMD boards are under 8k also with same features, i.e. what I was trying to convey but fall short of words. :redface:

^^ true. absolutely correct. it mainly cause Intel sells their chipsets & the sockets at higher pricing.

hows cm elite 310 guys?
i dont rly like how nzxt gamma looks..

haha, the speed breaker looks ?

:scared:

only prob is 310 does not have tooless HDD bays, if you are ok with it, then nothing better like this cabinet.

^^ my parents & others said M59 looks weird. & yes can be said NZXT "Speed Breaker". maybe i'll include it in my siggy soon :grin:

Nooooo m59 = awesomeee doesnt have multi million holes on side and top like gamma
xD

A fan on right side of mobo will be good I think to cool Mr. GTX 460

B

yea hes the VIP xDDD

@OP
460GTX also has DX11 support!

Also i would suggest you to go with WD HDD - more warranty & better service!
