HD7850 is better than HD6870.
Price of HD7850 2GB is ~15.6K
Price of 650Watt PSU (i.e. Corsair TX650V2 is ~5.8K)
A cheaper option for your graphics card would be Corsair GS600 @4.6K

Yes, HD7850 will be OK for the coming 1-2 years, and will be able to play most games by lowering down settings with time, but remember, it will age, so one day or the another, you will have to change it.

Next, do you really want that 650W supply? HD7850 will run just fine on a 500W PSU from a respectable company. Consider this - Seasonic S12II 520W or Crosair GS600. Both will be at the same price range, but the Seasonic is 80+ broze and Corsair GS600 is 80+ certified, so the Seasonic one is a better buy.

Yes, HD7850 should be sufficient for next 2 years.
Real power 650? Don't buy, cause it is overpriced.
Do you want a modular PSU? Then will suggest some.

wat u mean by it will be ok only for 1-2 year.... i m investing my 16k rupess on hd 7850 nd on 5.5 on a psu.... nd you are saying maximum 2 years...i dont think its worth my money...bloody hell :evil:

A

wats ur mean guys by only 2 year..... i m spending my 15.5k money on hd 7850 nd 5.5k on a psu....nd you are saying it will b ok only for 1-2 years...i dont thinkk its worth my money...any suggestion plz help me out what to do? :-x

^^ everything gets 'old' in the world of gpu and gaming gfx .. you want cutting edge performance after 2years with latest games .. you need to change the gpu if you like to play at highest pssible settings always or have to compromise with gfx settings of the game.

My suggestion is to get a HD7870 @ ~20k and a Corsair CX500v2 @ 3.2k

A

no i can only spend 15-16k on gpu...so thts y i m going for hd 7850....nd plz tell me can i get 650 watts psu from corsair for 5k from ny online store??

I second this. AFAIK, price drop will happen soon because of two reasons:
1. rupee is getting stronger against dollar
2. price cuts.

Prices will drop sooner ..
Now sapphire 7870 ghz editn going 17.5k only..

No. at 5k you can get GS600 though . your Budget is Total ~21k and what I suf=ggested you you willcost ~2k more currently but HD7870s price will come down with newer stock and check out the above deal ;-)

WOOOHOOO...can i get hd 7870 at 17.5k from nehru place at this time...or it'll b fair to wait till october???

i m dying to get my hd7870...ok one more qstn guys is 4+2=6 gb ram will b inoff for gaming or i have to upgrade my ram too?

6gb should be enough as of now.

6GB ram is enough for gaming unless you're working with lots of OSes in VM, some large psd/vid/animation files.

For general work, 6GB of RAM is more than enough.

^^ even for a gaming rig 6GB is enough and with modern gfx cards coming with 2-3/4Gb amount of vram will reduce the system memory requirement further.

guys i checked local store around here in gurgaon...everybdy have only real power psu...nd saying tht this is the bst psu for me...they dont have corsiar or seasonic psu...shud i go for 650 watt real power psu for hd 7870??? :crazy:

one more qstn guys my motherboard is=== Intel DH61WW ,is hd 7870 will work fine with this motherboard??/??
plz rply fast

Real Power Pro series PSUs are good and Intel DH61WW is good enough for HD7870.

1 Motherboard won't have any problem with that graphics card.
2. Real power series PSUs are good. In what price are you getting 650Watt real power?

But real power series is VERY old.

What the age of a PSU series got to do with its performance? It will be a good choice anyway.

May create issue in case of RMA and the replacement policy. You know what I'm trying to mean.

hey guys i am facing a new problem ...yesterday i went to a local store to upgrade my gpu (hd 7870) bt store man told me that my motherboard (intel DH61WW) is not compatibe with HD 7870 ......what to do guys i need ur suggestions????

^^ that store guys is wrong .. your motherboard ie DH61WW is compatible with HD7870 .. just buy the new gfx card and install it by yourself.

aryankratos said:
well bdy...if you can go to nehru place you can get this gpu at around 17k nd if u cant than everybody will ask you for diffrent prices to pay....tommorow i went to the computer store and he asked me to pay 26k for asus manufactured hd 7870...and i was like stunned than i told him that just give me sapphire manufactured hd 7870 and he said sapphire is so bad dont go with it nd he also told me tht if you need sapphire verssion he wont give me warranty of that card coz sapphire dont have any service center here in gurgaon...i am so dipressed...and guys please dont mind my english
?

Sapphire is good .. don't pay attention to the seller.

T

your motherboard is fine
and btw at whats the price of your hd7870
and brand name also!!

The store guy maybe said that because 7850 has PCIe 3.0 bus standard while your motherboard has PCIe 2.0 slots. Don't worry since you wouldn't really see any difference. My motherboard also has PCIe 2.0 and I'm going for 7850. Also I would like to know your 7870's price from local shop.

^^ heard it's ~17k now but the lowest deal I could find is on FK - they are selling sapphire HD7870 @ ~19k.

And SMC is selling Gigabyte card at low price. (don't remember whether that is 7870 or 7950)
