CPU for 40k · DIGIT-ARC

Hi ppl,
I'm planning to assemble a rig for 40k for gaming. I already have a 17" LCD monitor which I will be using and the config I've decided is as follows -
Processor : AMD Phenom ii X4 955 BE - 8k / 1050t 10.5k
Motherboard : Plz suggest a specific model thats overclocking friendly
RAM : 2*2 GB DDR3 - 5.8k
HDD : WD caviar blue 500GB - 2k
Graphics card : HD Radeon 5750 1 GB GDDR5 - 9k / 5770 - 10k
CD drive : 1.1k
Cabinet : NZXT Gamma : 2k
Total : 27900 - 31400

Ppl pls comment and suggest a mobo and PSU for this config as well as a UPS (UPS not in budget).

I ran across this calculator here but it only lists CM PSU options. Plz tell me how reliable are CM PSU's.

Here hope this helps...

Graphics card : HD Radeon 4870
CD drive : 1.1k
Cabinet : Zebronics Antibiotic : 2.2k
Wifi card - not sure of price

Ppl pls comment and suggest a PSU for this config as well as a UPS (UPS not in budget).

Processor : AMD Phenom ii X4 955 BE - 8k CHANGE IT TO EITHER 965 OR NEW 1050T

Motherboard : 785G based motherboard - 4.7k SEEMS OK BUT U CAN GO FOR 880G BASED MOBO AT THE SAME PRICE

RAM : 2*2 GB DDR3 - 5.8k OK
HDD : WD caviar blue 500GB - 2.5k SEEMS DECENT
Graphics card : HD Radeon 4870 NOW THIS IS THE AREA OF CONCERN
SEE 4870 IS A POWERFUL CARD BUT ITS POWER HUNGRY TOO
BETTER GO FOR HD 5770 ALMOST SAME/BETTER PERFORMANCE WITH LOW POWER USAGE

CD drive : 1.1k

Cabinet : Zebronics Antibiotic : 2.2k BETTER OPTION IS NZXT GAMMA AT 2K

i suggest going for last option. multitasking + gaming, all in 1.

other than ECS none selling 880G cheap. a 785G board @ 2.1k, Biostar TA785G3 HD seems good fit.

piyush120290 said:
: 2*2 GB DDR3 - 5.8k OK

price have dropped i feel. 5.3k or so good one.

piyush120290 said:

should get for 2.1k

urs was good too
but ur mobo recommendation was not uptu the mark,its too low featured

rajan1311 said:

may be bcoz of its low features at that price
looks good though

piyush120290 said:

yes, look evil. not too much. perfectly suites for those who wants some style with a few good features. not much talk about. cable management is poor. only 1 X 120mm LED red/blue (depending on the colour of cabby). 90degree HDD placement. bottom PSU placement. 5 fan capacity. its like a Cooler master + NZXT hybrid.

Ppl ty for sooo many replies *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif but plz tell wether CM PSUs r good or not and also tell abt a good mobo(i can't find 880G based ones on any online store).

its not that biostar mobos are bad
its the model which make it bad or good due to the features on it
if u still think like that,then opt for MSI /gigabyte(but they'll be a lil costly)

also CM PSUs arent bad
its the Model which......bla bla bla.......
CM extreme series should be neglected
corsair/antec/FSP/Seasonic are the nice and reputed brands to look for

and where do you stay?are u going to buy ur PC online?

nop i'm going to buy them frm nehru place in delhi but i'll go there only when config is decided as its a bit far frm my home

piyush120290 said:

well yes. upto 2.5k, it'll be sweet deal. at 3.2k + tax, no more sweet. still, if looks matter, can be tried. still i'll say price is high.

were. no more. they are good if u go for the T series. however Asus quality coming down the pipe. Gigabyte price going uppppp..... & no sigh of stopping. MSI is value. priced right.

except extreme power & the + version. everything good.

than go for 785G or 790GX (MSI 785GM E53. the bio* i mentioned above) both are good mobo & priced well too.

Hm..Now I think so.I have Biostar TA785G3 HD.Features and price are good.
But lacking perfection.PC takes so much time to wake up from sleep.Also USB device cant wake up PC from S3 sleep.I have tried my best in bios, even updated it.Still no solution

.Like this small inconveniences are there.But in MSI all were perfect.

Cybertonic said:

go for Corsair VX450W, if going for HD5770. anything above, VX550W will suffice. if going by CM PSU, go for GZ 550W, it falls between Corsair VX450W & 550W.

piyush120290 said:

its a calculator made by CM to calculate what wattage PSU to be used by a particular system. nice 1. tried a few time before. however the HD5670 option was missing earlier. hope they fixed it now.

told u, it'll be costly. may try the Gigabyte 785G with USB 3.0 for 5.8k or so.

Cybertonic said:

E51 is mATX.If u fit a monster card in it,you'll lose your both PCI's.But E53 is ATX and there is enough space to breath.

also the quality of E53 good. 140W proccy support (not matters much as X6 limited to 125W so is X4 965 BE).

that card available for 9k, if u choose Biostar only. however i don't think SMC sells bio card. but card was a good one. got a good aftermarket cooler. rest everything good. if settling for sapphire/MSI HD5770, i'll suggest opt for the MSI HAWX edition.

yah, no problem bro. calculated it earlier once. and its coming good. will setup the connection once more. than try again.

oh yes. damn. my eyesight failing day by day. at 9.1k, the MSI HD5770 a nice buy. considering MSI's product are generally better than BIO*. however i don't understand why most shops, online & street level don't keep 512Mb variants. 512Mb version of HD5670 missing in SMC also.

Replace the 5750 with MSI HD5770 HAWK @ 10.1K.
I have been searching for reviews on the GX 550, couldnt find any good ones.
Check whats the price of Seagate 500GB.
Replace GX 550W with CORSAIR VX 550W @ 4.8K
And then NIRAVANA, complete peace of mind.

:O didn't know HD 5770 1gb was available for 9k

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

My budget is 40k -.-

1.5K above budget is OK i think. Else go for Sapphire HD 5570 @ 9.6K

btw ppl will a APC 550w be good enough for this PC?

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

corsair 450W is better than CM 550W?

as per ur recent discussions on other thread and 550VA UPS should run a a VX 550 (considering the load for the above PC),but you will get 2-3 mins backup. If you want more back up 1.1KVA is the way to go

well yes. VX450 can't go against CM GZ 550, even if the Corsair a good unit.

i think it zx550 instead of gz550
correct me if i'm wrong

are u going stick to 17'' whole life? also get 2Gb ram now. & get HAWX & maybe better mobo. add 2Gb later if u feel PC getting sluggish.

well adding 2GB later, the models/ratings have to match. Is it not ?

however a projector will need a good card due to massive resolution it'll need. using 1024X768 on a 60" square inch area. i doubt u can even watch a movie. a good card is of utmost importance here.

Thats good.Because we can add ram later.But swapping Graphic card is a pain in the a**.I have experienced it when changing the mobo.

I think I'll go for 955 BE as I'm not going to do any multi threaded work and there's no point going for 5770 as I will use it on a 17" monitor for 3-4 years. By the time upgrade the monitor the gfxcard will be outdated too

If you are going for 955BE, i can give mine purchased on 10th APRIL. :-D

whats the max resolution of ur monitor?
is it CRT?TFT-LCD?

I have resolved my final problem with biostar - USB wake up from S3
Actually it wasnt a problem.There was an unnoticed jumper settings for USB's to supply 5v.Now I can wake up PC from S3.

Now I say Biostar can match up with MSI,Gigabyte etc.. :lol:

what did you do with that jumper?

must be 1280 X 768.An HD 5670 will be good if he wants to cut it down.Its running all current games in 1600 X 900 in max settings with max FPS.

It was in 2-3 position.In that settings board will cut off 5v power supply to USB's in S3 sleep.So we wont be able to wake up PC using USB.
After reading manual, I changed it to 1-2 state.Now Its fine.

Hey cybertonic,

I put up a thread for you in the bazaar section, tell me if you are not interested i will close it off

Motherboard : MSI 785G E53 5.3k
RAM : Gskill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL 4 GB DDR3 1600 Mhz kit 6.8k

2 extra 120 mm case fans

UPS : Numeric 1 KVA 4.2k
Mouse : Logitech MX 518 1.5k
Keyboard : Logitech Multimedia 0.4k

What do u ppl think abt it?
and plz tell how good are CM fans or give another suggestion

better get amd Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz @10.5k and Biostar TA890GXE @ 6.6k.... would be better for you to get a hex core by paying only 2k more....

nop
i'm not going to overclock so 955 is better for gaming and anyway it'll exceed my budget

if no OC, & game exclusive, X4. if anything else on list, X6. also X6 can be pared with a sub 5k board. however remember, OC X6 is real fun (more than killing batches of Zombies in DOA) :grin:

yep i'll go for x4
feel free to give any suggestions as the rig hasn't been bought yet
btw ppl plz suggest which fans should i go for???
cheap CM fans at rs 450 r good or not???

good at given price. costly options available too. all u need is 2 fans. 1 at back (included in gamma). another at front. add more later.

man, saurabh_1e has been oc'ing his rig at stock voltages.... it reaches 3.8 without getting over 50'C at stock hsf.... and i have been doing it in front of my room cooler by opening the cabby and it reaches 3.6 at max temp 61'C.... :grin:

I still recommend X6 1055T. The temps on that proccy are just awesome. 1.5K is fine man. Just borrow from some one. 1055T is miles ahead of 955BE in terms of idle and load temps

CM 120mm chasis fans are good and silent. I purchased them @ Rs 300 a piece

3.8 stock !!! where the Intel fanboys ran away? maybe scared. what i was telling before is, X6 OC very well. so good for games once OC'd. however X4's clock already high. i.e. game ready.

i know its good but i won't do anything except gaming
i might overclock in the future but thats a long way off and perhaps i'll buy a new one at that time

OK if you have plans of upgrading later then its good. You might think you will not OC. But later as you see people Ocing you will also feel the urge to OC.

I also thought the same,when i bought Hyper Tx3. Now i want to OC, just for the heck of it and i am looking for Hyper 212 plus :-D

same goes for me.... :-D

didnt think i would oc.... but when my friend saurabh_1e also brought his rig(phenom *6 1055t) just after a month of me buying my phenom II*4 955 B.E and oc'd it, i just couldn't resist myself :-D

rite nw me 2 also thinking of buying hyper 212(as everytime it isnt possible to open up your rig and put your mobo in front of your cooler.... :-D

)

good. order 2 fans for Hyper 212 in push pull config
