Gaming pc at 35k

I don't think there is anything which can be called Monitor Bottleneck. Your current Monitor is fine with any Graphics card.

There is no pint of getting a costly H77 Motherboards. Instead get Intel DH67CL-B3 @ 5.6K.

For Display, I don't think LG is a very good choice. Get something from Samsung, Dell or benQ.

Regarding, Ram, I guess you're talking about a single 8 GB stick. Otherwise get 4GB X 2 G-skill RipjawX 1600 MHz @ 3.2K.

Try to get a GTX 560 (non Ti) from Zotac around 10.6K, better for Full HD gaming.

i wuld like u to buy benq g2222hd @ 7.5k
and get corsair value ram 2x4gb @ 2k

Apart from the suggestion given by CLius, I would liek to add one thing about motherbord:
You ahve selected ASUS P8H77-M, which is m-atx.
My suggestion for you is: Intel DH67CL @5.3K
Its ATX and you will save ~2.8K.

Change the motherboard, get Intel DH67CL.

For monitor, that LG one is a poor choice, just a simple google search revealed this

FOr a 23" monitor, get something like Dell ST2320L. Costs the same as your selected LG one, but performs much better, I am using it right now

Everybody is rite . Change the mobo to DH67CL B3 @ 5.4k

Hey guys....
i too want a similar cpu configuration and have decided upon
core i5 2500k
intel dh67bl
hynix 2*2gb ram
1tb wd hard disk
now wat is bothering me is that 2500k is overclockable but can the board i have choosen fully utilize it.....? If not pls suggest a alternative around the same price barcket.
and is zebronics platinum series 500w gud for this rig....?
thanx in advance

First of all, you are buying a gaming PC, then why are you sacrificing over the GPU and Monitor part by getting a high end Processor? Ohh and if you don't know, for gaming, GPU>CPU. So getting a better GPU is the first step, and spending the rest on other things is recommended. Here is my suggestion for your gaming PC at 45k -

AMD Phenom X4 960T - 7000
Gigabyte G880GM-USB3 - 4800
Sapphire/Gigabyte HD7850 2GB - 15500
Corsair Value Select 4GB - 1100
Cooler Master 311 - 1800
Benq G2222HDL - 7500
500 WD Caviar Blue - 4200
Optical Drive - 1100
KB/Mouse - 700
Creative SBS235 2.1 - 1400
Seasonic S12II 520W - 3600

Total - 48700

I know I have overshoot your budget a lot, but it's totally worth it. Here's how -

>The Graphics Card can handle all games at 1080p on maximum settings, I am using the same right now.
>The monitor is 21.5 inch 1080p one, so it's a great deal and allows you to ditch that older one and step into the world of HD movie viewing and gaming.
>The Processor is a black edition one, also, the Gigabyte 880GM supports mild overclocking too, so it's a great deal if you decide to overclock your processor at a later time.
>Power supply is great, will have lots of headroom for overclocking both CPU and GPU.
>Don't buy the Altec Lansing BXR1221. It's a pathetic set of speakers, and I have had bad experience with it. Better get any good Creative 2.1 speakers, works best for it's price.
>Sacrifice 1TB HDD now to get all these components, add 500GB more later after saving money, and god knows if by that time, the prices may fall.

This config will totally outperform your i5 2320 based configuration in gaming. And ofcourse, HD7850>>HD6850. Check benchmarks to make it clear

EDIT - I saw that you want to reduce your costs. So you can settle for HD6870 for 11K instead of getting the HD7850. You will save 3K from this. And, IF you decide to get the HD6870, you can even dumb down the power supply to Corsair CX430V2 which is enough to handle HD6870. Here's an updated suggestion -

AMD Phenom X4 960T - 7000
Gigabyte G880GM-USB3 - 4800
Sapphire HD6870 - 11000
Corsair Value Select 4GB - 1100
Cooler Master 311 - 1800
Benq G2222HDL - 7500
500 WD Caviar Blue - 4200
Optical Drive - 1100
KB/Mouse - 700
Creative SBS235 2.1 - 1400
Corsair CX430V2 - 2400

Total - 43000

This comes to 43000, which is just 3k over your budget. IF you intend to decrease even more, settle for a smaller monitor like 19-20 inch one. Just make sure its resolution is 1600x900 atleast.

Buy HD6850 as planned. For that resolution of yours, may be you don't need 6850, but you should buy it cause it will give you a headroom for future up-gradation of your monitor without changing graphics card.

About, HD6770, its a low end gaming card, and would be better classified as HTPC card.

how is AMD RADEON 7750? for my 1366x768 resolutions its enough and i read aboout it. its consumes less power compared to 6770 and 6850 and its 28nm new architecture. waiting for your suggestions

here it is GIGABYTE HD 7750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 GV-R775OC-1GI Radeon PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Graphic Card

is it reliable to get gigabyte Gpu since i was looking for Asus or MSi or Sapphire

what is HTPC?

Going offtopic: Can the CX430V2 handle 6850 + x6 1075T ?

HD7750 ~= HD6850.
So, final buying option will depend on you.

RON28, if you could read THIS again, you will get a much better choice. I think you overlooked my reply. Read it again, I am pretty sure you might change your decision after reading that again.

DesiJatt's config is good go with or if you cant get that replace HD 6870 With 6850

@desijatt how is AMD 960t? I heard that it it similar to intel i3 2nd gen in terms of performance. thats why i choosed intel cpu...but i really love AMD graphics, they are cheap in terms of money and provide better performance.

but even AMD's upcoming trinity are comparable to intel's 2nd gen cpu, but they really did a n excellent job in integrated graphic performance one more doubt i have...i purchased laptop 3 years ago and i got a driver cd with it.

but what about PC's...where will i get driver cd as im going to get all components from flipkart or theitwares...an i have a bootable pendrive of windows ultimate 64 bit. does pc require bootable dvd's to install OS or i can install through pendrive also.

Iam really sorry for asking noob questions but i have knowledge only about laptops and this is going to be my first pc. may be you guys can understand

you are asking very basic things. you will get drivers with the purchased devices. buy from anywhere, it doesn't matters. because you will get those drivers in the device package itself. even you can download the drivers from web. you need a bootable medium to install os.

if the usb drive is bootable you can install windows 7 from it

and for the config. go with the config suggested by desijatt

pls post link for AMd 960t processor and mobo and also for 500GB HDD

i found the difference between Intel i5 2320 and AMD960t

here it is PassMark - Intel Core i5-2320 @ 3.00GHz - Price performance comparison

PassMark - AMD Phenom II X4 960T - Price performance comparison

there is a huge difference but i know my monitor resoltuion is 1366x768 with 7750 gpu...so should i choose 960t or i5 2320?

i suggest going for AMD . Rather than intel .... it will save ur money .
---
mobo - ASUS M5A88-M Motherboard @ 5.2k from Flipkart .
processor - AMD Phenom II 960T OR AMD Phenom II 970T for 6.9k and 7.6k @ flipkart .
RAM - TWO PIECES OF - G.Skill RipjawsX 4 GB RAM (F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL) for 1.5k each @ flipkart
GPU - considering u will play @ full HD res then - Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6850 1 GB GDDR5 for 9k @ Flipkart .

TOTAL = around 22k to 27k
Rest of the things u decide .
BTW i suggest u to don't wait for new gpu or processors coz everyday new tech comes . live in todays standards . when it will be the time to upgrade the get something of that time's standard . MAN ALWAYS WANTS MORE N MORE

Look, Phenom X4 960T is a lower performer than i5 2320 and somewhat at par or better than i3 2100. The thing is, in gaming you don't need a very powerfull CPU, as GPU does the most calculations at high resolution. Also, no need to stick with 1366x768. I have already suggested a 21.5" 1080p monitor in the above reply.

Phenom X4 960T

500GB WD Caviar Blue

I would suggest you again carefully read my post above. All answers are there. With around 40K, you will be getting a much much better graphics card than HD7750, a 1080p monitor, and ofcourse a great gaming rig on the whole. What's more, if you get lucky, you might even unlock the hidden 2 cores in Phenom X4 960T !

Also, if you go for HD6850, you can comfortably reduce your total costs below 40K Just get an AMD based rig I suggested, no need to get in the roots of Trinity and stuff

just now i decided to go with desijatt config but now one of my friend says that the given pc config wiil cost you enough on your electricity bill. he says to get an Asus laptop instead with gt 540m or 630m. is it true? again im sad

Gaming PC's have to eat power. Desijatt's config is an AMD Quad-Core(amd phenoms are notorious for power guzzling,but this is the cheapest quadie) and a latest graphic card(HD 7850) this config will give you power to play games in thier HD-eyegasmic glory
a laptop CANNOT match the power of this kind of desktop
believe me gt540m + a dual core i5/i3m dosen't let you play games in thier full glory
dont listen to your nooblet friend

First of all, do specify which configuration are you going for? The first one or the second one? Because I suggested 2

Next, over the power consumption, the first rig, with HD7850, on maximum load will pull around 450W. That is just OK for a gaming rig.

Buying a laptop specifically for gaming is never recommended here, so ditch that idea.

This.

Dell has a bad habit of giving refurbished product on RMA so i suggest u stay away from them...quality Of LG is decent so could be a good choice...

As CommanderShawnzer already stated, GT540 or GT630M are nowhere near the graphics card you are buying with your PC. Just no comparison. Decide first, Do you need a (non gaming, ofcourse) laptop (40K+)? Do you need a gaming PC(40K)? Do you need a gaming laptop? (70K+)?

Choose any one option and state your budget. You certainly can't shell out 70k+ for a gaming laptop, that's for sure. Buying a 40K laptop will only help you with daily work, without any gaming. PC will do both. Your Wish.

_________________

Talking about electricity thingy, here's my calculation method for that part -

Look, as I mentioned earlier, your PC will take up approximately 450W on full load. Now, 0.450KW*1 Hour = 0.45 KWH or BOTU or Unit.

Now, 1 Unit is approximately 5-6 rupees, depending on the area you live. Let's take it 7 rupees. Now, 0.45*7 = 3.15 Rupees per HOUR.

Let's suppose you use computer 5 hours a day, 5*3.15 = 15.75 Rupees per DAY.

In 1 Month, 30*15.75 = 472 Rupees per Month.

In my opinion, this bill is quite reasonable seeing that you are using your Gaming PC, at FULL LOAD, 5 Hours DAILY.

I personally used this method to calculate costs for my new gaming rig

NOTE - This method of calculation is very approximate in nature, real world usage, per unit costs, and load variability will change.

i liked your second config and thanks for replying about electricity bill i know even a laptop GT 580M can't beat HD 6850 I need to buy a table for pc...can we still reduce cost to 1k to 2k oopps sorry you already helped a lot do reply for this one also...you know if you have an account on TDF then your loads of tension reduces

Great you decided on the second rig

On the computer table part, ask your Mom and Dad to buy you one out of your budget I did the same, my parents got me the computer table for 4k which was not included in my budget ofcourse After all it's a furniture item, and you don't pay for the furniture do you?

Reducing any further will leave you with a low performing graphics card. Nothing else can be dumbed down from that configuration. Still if you are so much tight, then go for HD6850 for 8.5K. You'll save around 2.5K. But remember, you are also shredding a great part from the performance bank too.

If you worry about electricity bill, then desktop is not the thing for you. Buy a laptop, which will consume 90Watt at max, be happy while saving electricity.
Oh yes, forget gaming.

Although the question is not meant for me, I would like to answer this. The answer would be: No. Elite 311 have 2xUSB2.0 at the front panel along with normal buttons (i.e. ON/OFF, restart, audio port).

^^ True, @RON28, d6bmg answered your question. Also, your motherboard will have back USB 3.0 ports, so you won't miss them completely. Moreover, USB 3.0 devices are yet to become mainstream, so there is still considerable time before you start plugging in some USB 3.0 devices in your PC

Try to buy everything from local market if you live in one of the metros or Bangalore. You will get everything cheaper than online price.
