giga byte ga b75n d3h motherboard

intel i5 3470 processor
which one is better

D

Intel i5 is better but it won't come under ur budget :/

Get the AMD cpu and invest in a better gpu, if you want to play high end games.
Try to fit a R9 270 in the config.

No point in getting a better cpu and sacrificing on the gpu. Besides, FX 6300 is a very good processor.
As good as i5 in multithreaded apps.

D

@ OP : is the monitor included in that budget?

Yes monitor included i searched a lot and came up with this

amd phwnom II x4 965 be

compatiable mobo please tell one under 3k

monitor benq g2255

what if i buy an old gfx card gtx 650ti boost rom olx it is priced around 10000

D

Don't get the phenom.... It is an EOLd product.... 650Ti 2nd hand @ 10k is very overpriced..... Stick with cilus's configuration

i forgot to tell you that my budget has changed to 38k and cilus's config is much costlier than that.
It is true that phenom is old but i checked on game debate and it can run ghost easily . The graphics card is gtx 650 ti boost that cost 13.5k on flipkart and one person is selling at 8.5k is it all right? And again is it ok to buy old one please answer

- - - Updated - - -

The card is 7 month old

Is it the boost edition? Then get it for 8.5k.... Add this 2 my config and u will have the total amount around 40k

Cooling n cable management will be an issue so stick with the cm one

yeah that could be a problem
i will search for a cm one around budget

cheapest to look around is cooler master elite 311. also check nzxt gamma. cooler master n200/betfenix merc alpha etc can also be considered.

aal-ok, is 38K your budget including Monitor and Graphics card?
And, FYI, Phenom II processors aren't available any more, you can't get it unless buying a 2nd hand one.

well my budget is around 38k and can strexh to a max of 40k
yeah phen is discontinued
what about fx 4300 i checked its benchmarks and it was better and cheaper then phenom one please suggest about it and tell a mobo below or around 4k

Why not spend just a little more and get the FX 6300 ? FX4300 fails badly in single threaded applications against i3s and doesnt offer that much better in multithreaded also
FX 6300 is a much different story though, so id recommend you get that

yeah i checked it out and found out that it is better please suggest a mobo for it around 4k

Ga-78LMT-USB3
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P what about these

I think you should spend 5K and get a AMD 970 based chipset which are build form ground up for the AM3+ processors. It supports all the advanced features like Turbo Boost 2.0, Voltage handling and advanced software suites like AMD Fusion and AMD overdrive. Since you're not going to overclock very much, you can look for these two motherboards:-

what are the turbo boost 2.o and stuff like that. And i think i will go for the biostarone

- - - Updated - - -

Changed my mind will go for msi

Turbo Boost is AMD's equivalent to Intel Turbo Core where during single threaded or less threaded applications the core which are getting used get a speed bump (say 3.8GHz to stock speed to 4.2GHz Turbo Speed for the two cores which are being used) whereas the non used cores' speed get reduced dynamically (say 3.8GHz to 1.4GHz for the rest of the 4 cores in the processor). For implementing it properly, you need proper voltage control over AM3+ processors which is only available properly in AMD 9XX series motherboards.

A friend is planning a system with similar configurations but is looking for a Biostar Mobo - Hi-Fi B85S3+, B75MU3B.Any idea how are these?

THey are intel based motherboard for 4th Gen Core series and have integrated Hi-Fi audio chip to provide high fedality audio.

thanks for your explanation. A friend of mine told me that gogabyte is better than msi or biostar . So is the gigabyte 970a better and shall i opt it

select one which has a service center near your home. both gigabyte and msi are good. not sure of biostar especially the rma.

Quality wise Gigabyte and MSI is normally over BIOSTAR and Biostar service is provided by Abacus peripherals.
