Finishing my rig. Please help me

hi guys, i got a i5-3450 and a MSI TF 7850 .. yaay !

now going hunting for the other parts,

mobo - Gigabyte B75m-d3h
RAM - RipjawsX 4GB
PSU - SeaSonic S12II 430
CASE - NZXT Gamma
monitor - g2222hdl

Budget : 20k strict
Crossfire : No
Overclocking : GPU only
Use : Gaming (BF3 multiplayer mainly, and all the good games out there)

Please dont ask me to fill the form. I think i have given the necessary details.

And thanku

Shall i get the parts ? Feel free to make changes. And im low on budget.. so please dont suggest a very expensive motherboard.

EDIT : i ll reuse my old HDD and DVD drive.. i want only psu,mobo,ram,case,monitor

T

Only thing I would recommend is getting a GS600or any 550W+ Model. 430W isn't exactly that future proof. Also Seasonic are good PSUs but may create RMA issue later due to scarcity.

Get a CORSAIR GS500 or GS600 .BTW , why you created A NEW thread.

actually sorry abt creating a new thread.. so u say everything is OK except PSU ? i m planning to get the parts in 3 - 4 days from ritchie street. and from my throrough research i found that 7850 with ivy bridge CPU requires only 300 watts max , even when the GPU is OC'd. So do i really need a 500w ? trying to save some cash man

G2222HDL is around what ... 8k now ?

Yup, get a CX-500v2 or GS500 instead.

Also look for Dell ST2220L, will cost around 8.5k

GAMMA would be hard to find these days. If so, then get Source Elite 210 for 2.4k or CM Elite 430 for 2.75k.

hmmm isnt the seasonic 430w better than corsair cx 500 ? seasonic is 80 + Bronze.. And im surely not going to crossfire.. And why are u suggesting 500 when 430 is more than enough for a ivyB and 7850 ? If im making a mistake tell me.. i researched a lot about this and found 430w was more than enough.

even if the 7850 is heavily OC'd, the system would require a total of 26 amps on +12v. (Maximum). seasonic 430w can do 30A

Get Corsair GS600 or Seasonic SII 520W. Rest seems fine, no idea about mobo though.

Thank u very much for ur suggestion, put please can i have a solid reason to go for 520w ? i seriously dont see any reason

Or Get CORSAIR CX500 V2 @ 3.5K

Dont even think of buying CORSAIR GS500 from Ritchie Street , it is priced @ 4.3K .

Yeah ok buddy. But why not a top quality seasonic 430w Bronze ? Its better than corsair cx series..

And where can i buy BenQ G2222HDL ?

Seasonic PSUs RMA are quite bad.

^^ do you have any experience regarding this? pls share.

guys i think a 430w is already on the "safer side". so im going with the 430w . i ll change my mind if i get strong advice why the 430 is not suitable for an IvyB with HD 7850. I wont be upgrading this PC for a long time

or the cx500v2 as it also costs about 3.5k

You never know when you might want to add something more to your system. Requirements change and so will the power usage.
Better safe than sorry. Take a 500w psu.

corsair cx 500 v2 is fine right

Yes, corsair cx 500 v2 is fine

It has 34A of +12V . just saw.. alright. i ll get that then

and where can i get g2222hdl ? out of stock in flipkart

Get DELL ST2220M or ST2220L

Isnt the dell monitor more expensive for the same quality?

BTW i suggest you to go for this one...
GL2250HM @9.1k
It got a best buy award from DIGIT in their monitors comparision test that i read in May '12 issue..

Alternatively,
you may have this one
G2222HDAL @ 8.5k

I meant that if you dont get the BENQ model , you can opt for the DELL.

is the B75 board ok ?

Stick with GS500 or GS600.

whats wrong with cx500v2 ?

digit1191 said:
whats wrong with cx500v2 ?

^^ Do point out where I said that

.

I would choose the GS series over Seasonic S12II counterparts. I still wish I could recommend Seasonic but unfortunately some of the people's experience during RMA and also confirmation from a reliable dealer that I know have confirmed it and started to decrease stocking Seasonic PSU.

no buddy. i dint say u said that. i was planning to get cx 500 v2 thats why asked.

GS is a better quality than the CX. CX is the entry level for corsair.
GS has more connectors and little more amp on a few lines.

@digit1191

GA-B75M-D3H is ok.
It does not support lucidlogix virtu.
With the help of lucidlogix virtu you can use quick sync while using DGPU.
If it does not concern you then go with it.

If you want this feature then have a look at these motherboards:
1.ASUS P8B75-V
2.ASUS P8B75-M LE

Btw, SeaSonic S12II 430 is more than enough for your configuration.
It has higher efficiency than cx500v2 and gs500.Also it comes with 5 years of warranty.It is an underrated PSU.It can handle upto 500 watts.

But according to people ASS of corsair is generally very good.
If ASS of SeaSonic is not a concern in your region then SeaSonic S12II 430 is the one to go for else go for gs500 or cx500v2.

With the help of lucidlogix virtu you can use quick sync while using DGPU.

No idea what that means. so i guess it wont concern me

Yeah you are right Lucid logix is not important for you Since you Are into gaming..

:-D

anyway what is lucid logix ?

LINK
It's a technology that uses low power IGP for normal work like net browsing, spreadsheeets etc... & automatically switches to discrete GPU for heavy loads like gaming...

In simple way, this tech allows you to get a power efficient system ;-)

thats a nice feature to have. but my 10k budget cant accomodate it

so have to go with the non lucid logix thing

Exactly

@digit1191
Intel Quick Sync Video
It is a very fast method of video transcoding by intel.

Lucid Virtu is a software that takes advantage of hybrid graphics in the supported chipsets.

The main thing here is it that it(virtu) allows you to use quick sync while using dGPU.

Quick sync is the thing that point was about.

If quick sync does not matter to you then the gigabyte board is the one to go for.

shall i drop down to 1333Mhz Ram ?

I get a slight burning smell from the GPU. Very mild. when i stick my nose into the case. Is it normal ? Nothing strong. a slight burning smell when i stick my nose in..

Please tell me if its normal or if i connected anything wrong

Is smell coming all the time ??( even when sys is off)
Then you might be smelling moulded plastic/soldering/TIM kinda stuff..

Also check your GPU's load & idle temps & tell us to decide what is faulty ( GPU :-(

or thy nose ;-)

)

Also double check if the smell is from GPU else you might end in situation where you are giving a TB vaccine to a dyssentry patient. :-D
