my current configuration-
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.9GHz
mobo- intel G41M-Combo
Memory: 4096MB RAM DDR2 i dont know speed
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1Gb
PSU- corsair 430v2

i5 - 4430 @ 13.2k
Aaus B85M-G @ 6.2k
Cm Hyper 212 Evo @ 2.2k [ for something cheaper opt for Hypex TX3 Evo @ 1.5k ]
Kingston Hyperx Blu 2x 4GB 1600 Mhz @ 4.8k.

selling your old mobo+cpu+ram will fetch you another 5k-6k. so you may opt for i7 4770 at 20k. although i5 will do good for gaming there is no harm in getting an i7 since hyperthraded cores may introduce good advantages in the long run for both cpu intensive tasks and gaming.

Thanx for suggestion. I wasnt sure enough about my PSU can handle i7 along with my current GPU. Is i5 4430 Haswell ? I have an old cabinet a local one, would it fit Hyper evo cooler?

No it won't handle i7 with 650 ti boost, it can handle i5...
for processor i5-4670 is better choice then i5-4430 IMO.

even if you get 30k you won't able to fit i7-4770 easily...

However for pure gaming no need of an i7 at all, avoid it, i5 is much more then enough...
Save your rest money then later invest in better graphic card as gaming performence depends a lot on graphic card and merely on processor

It can handle it no worries. i7 has a tdp of 80 watts which is certainly low compared to AMD FX series. I've seen people using FX 6300 TDP of 95 watts with GTX 650ti boost or HD 7850 with CX 430V2.

yes, cx430v2 can handle a GTX 650ti along with core i7 haswell/IB/SB just fine.

but there is no need of i7 for gaming

if op has the budget he can go for one

but you are right about i5 4xxx is enough for gaming.

That's what I was about to say!

very easily. also i5 4430 is Haswell.

I have an old cabinet a local one, would it fit Hyper evo cooler?

quite unlikely for hyper 212 evo. But hyper tx3 evo may fit. measure your cabinet height. You need to invest in a good low cost cabinet like nzxt gamma at 2.5k for good airflow,good cable management and support for hyper 212 evo etc.

well, say I've said it on behalf of you

Guys how's these -
i5 4430 (13.3k) / i5 4570 (14.8k) / i5 4670 (15.9k) - is there any much high performance increase ?
G.skill ripjaws x ddr3 1x8Gb -5.5k
Asus B85m-g -6.1k
since i'm not going to overclock is it necessary to get cooler rather than sticking with stock ones ?

> Get i5 4430. NThere's not much performance difference between the three processors you've mentioned and gaming performance is identical.

> No need of aftermarket cooler, but ensure proper airflow in the cabinet and use adequate case fans.

Guys i have a new budget recently modified this thread.
Can shell 24k on CPU+Mobo+RAM
and 5.5k on new cabinet and CPU cooler
I'm not sure my old cabby can occupy the evo cooler
Can any one explain what should i take into consideration if I had to retain this cabby with evo cooler
This cabby has no fans installed
I have Xtech cabby

selling old components+ old gpu will fetch will fetch 15-16k.so total around 46k.
i5 4430 - 13k
gigabyte ga - b85m- d3h - 6.2k
hd 7870 XT- 18k / gtx 760 -19k (you can skip cooler for now. It is worth)
gskill ripjaws X 8gb ram - 4.5k
hyper 212 evo - 2.2k
nzxt gamma - 2.5k

^^ Hyper 212 EVO is not required for a Non K series Processor. Hyper TX3 EVO should be sufficient if OP is planning for the supported partial overclocking using BCLK increase.

but i have PSU- corsair 430v2 will it run such powerful GPU ?

Since, he is strictly not going to overclock, don't you think stock cooler of cpu should suffice??

HorrayforPeePee said:

well, it should handle it technically and maybe only without overclocking.

HorrayforPeePee said:

I dont think it will adn even if it does, it will be running very close to its limit. better sell it and get a better and more powerful PSU.

harshil is right .. if Op was getting a HD7870 only then cx430v2 is good enough but the XT consumes almost ~60w more.

HorrayforPeePee said:

sell cx430v2 also. skip cooler now or get hyper tx3 evo as suggested by Cilus. so the config is
i5 4430 - 13k
gigabyte ga - b85m- d3h - 6.2k
hd 7870 XT- 18k / gtx 760 -19k
gskill ripjaws X 8gb ram - 4.5k
nzxt gamma - 2.5k
seasonic s12 ii 520- 4k.

in summer, when he will be gaming, the cpu temp will rise inexorably. Although in winter there may not be any problems. my i7 with stock cooler has hit 84-85c when playing crysis 2 on summer.

I think Op should skip the cooler for now and get something better than TX3 Evo later.

Thank You all for your suggestions.
bought-
1. i5 4430 processor- 13.3k

2. Asus Mobo- 6.5k

3. TX3 EVO cooler- 1.5k

4. G.skill Ripjaws 8GB DDR3 1600- 5.5k

The cpu temps shown on RealTemp software-

Congrats buddy for your purchase.

^^^ why can't i view the pics???

congrats buddy. enjoy your rig.

it is a bug on thinkdigit.

and i thought it was some kind of ban.

even I cant view my own pics here, it keeps asking me to login again n again

@ Op - congrats but even the pics are not loading for me as well .. so as of now instead of attachment we better use 3rd party image sharing websites.

BTW, @ OP - do share the price of the components with us well .
