Gaming Rig · DIGIT-ARC

Hi Friends....I want to purchase pc for gaming. For games like...Counter Strike, NFS, Fifa, GTA, So i want good rig for playing this games but my budget is not too high so plez suggest me some good rig with low price.

I don't want to play games at high settings. Medium grafix with good resolution is fine for me.

Please Help..Thanks.

Seriously whats a low budget??
40k?
20k?
10k?

Also do you need a Monitor etc??

Fill the Questionnaire.

40k to 50k....Ya all stuff. { Actually Budget is not fix yet but if u give me suggestions on good game rig with lowest possible price then i will decide other things }

Amd Rig is ok if its good for gaming.

====================================================

Monitor = Better =

Cabinet = Good =

Motherboard = Better =

Processor = Best =

RAM = Better =

PSU = Better =

GPU = Best =

UPS = Good =

Keyboard = Good =

Mouse = Good =

Headphones = Good =

Joystick = Good =

=====================================================

AMD X4 640 @ 4.5k
Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H @ 4.5k
Sapphire HD 6850 Toxic @ 10.5k
Corsair 1333MHz 4GB @ 2.3k
Seagate 1TB 7200.12 @ 2.7k
Dell ST2220L @ 8.7k
NZXT Gamma @ 2k
Corsair VX450W @ 3.5k
APC 1.1KVA @ 5k
LG DVD Sata @ 0.9k
Altec Lancing VS2621 @ 1.5k
KB/Mouse @ 1k
Total @ 47.1

Can play pretty much any game on high.

PS I can maybe fit a Sandybridge rig in this budget but you'll have to wait for 2 months as their is a slight problem with Intel Mobos.

Get Xbox 360 Controller for Windows for 1.3k

didn't you make plans for a 200k PC about 4 months ago?
what happened?

AMD Phenom II x4 955BE @ 6.7k
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4k
Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 4GB @ 2.3k
Sapphire HD6870 @ 13k
Seagate 500GB 7200.12 @ 1.7k
LG Sata DVD @ 0.9k
Corsair VX550W @ 4.5k
NZXT Gamma @ 2k
Dell ST2220L @ 8.5k
APC 800VA @ 3.5k
Altec Lancing VS2621 @ 1.5k
Logitech MX518 @ 1.2k
Logitech KB-200 @ 0.4k

Total - 50.2k

^^ i would suggest a 1055t instead of 955be in the above config. The reason is the x6 is bit better in multithreaded apps and can be used in a gaming rig. The 6870 will take care of all gaming requirements.

The rest of the config is fine. Since sandybridge is out of the picture for a while, x6 chips make a bit of sense of futureproofing. Games are going to utilise more than 4 cores and crysis 2 is a big example.

X6 if he is ready to OC. for gaming (he taken the names of game only) X4 is better. high clock. also i feel Crysis 2 maybe the only exception this yr. but low clock speed may hamper his gaming needs.

^^ I don't thing there will be that much loss in frame rates between 955be and 1055t. Max 4-5fps here and there. Exceptions like crysis 2 will continue to pour in.

No point in going for amd quadcores now and x6 is the only option because sandybridge is out of the picture for a while.

1055t is a wonderful processor and op can't go wrong with it. Also try to fit a 1065t or 1075t if possible.

Ohh Great....Thanks for help.

Both Configuration r good. Another thing is waiting for 2 months is possible for me.

Why Sandybridge rig is good then above 2 Configurations?

Plez if possible explain me this Sandybridge rig in more detail.

sandybridge outperforms every processor before it in everything, i5 2500k which costs 11k ish gives previous generations extreme series costing 50k ish a run for its money and some at the moment sandybridge chipsets have a problem so its suggested to wait it out till intel fix it also in a couple of months prices would go down a fair bit check sandybridge review below The Sandy Bridge Review: Intel Core i7-2600K, i5-2500K and Core i3-2100 Tested - AnandTech :: Your Source for Hardware Analysis and News

if you can wait 2-3 months go with sandybridge. wait for new mobos. till then expand your budget.

will you overclock?

Ya 2/3 month waiting is ok. Nope i am not going to overclock coz i really don't want to spend money on cooling

If i go for sandy bridge then which processor is better then amd x4 & with same price ?

--------------------------

If i go for ......

Dell IN 2020M = 6.5k
FSB SAGA ll 500w = 2.5k
Seagate 250gb HDD = ? [ Don't want much space. 250gb is more then enough. ]

Give me suggestions on above products... Thanks.

All sandybridge quad cores are a lot better than current amd x4's and even x6's.

i5 2400, i5 2500 and i7 2600 are the hottest processors currently. Wait for the newer revised boards and pick your processor according to the budget.

=================================

About MB .... I don't want USB 3 & Sata lll. USB 2 & Sata ll is more then enough so is there any good mb with little low price ??

^^ don't buy sb motherboards now. Wait for the revised ones to arrive.

No actually i am talking about mb for AMD processor. If i go for AMD x4 955BE then which MB is good with only usb 2.0 n SATA ll at low price ???

If I am going to purchase pc b4 sandy bridge then is this configuration ok ???

====================================================

Monitor = Dell IN 2020M = 6.5k

Cabinet = NZXT Gamma = 2k

Motherboard = Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H = 4k

Processor = AMD Athlon II X4 640 = 5k

RAM = Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 4GB = 2.5k

PSU = FSB SAGA ll 500w = 2.5k

GPU = Sapphire HD 6850 Toxic = 10.5k

HDD = Seagate 500GB 7200.12 = 1.8k

UPS = APC 800VA = 3.5k

Keyboard = Logitech KB-200 = 0.5k

Mouse = Logitech MX518 = 1.2k

Headphones = Any = 0.5k

Joystick = Any = 0.5k

Total = 41K Approx.

=====================================================

Any Suggestions ?????

R

I would spend a bit more on the PSU mate...try for a VX450 ?

What about Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770 / 1GB GDDR5 @ 7.8k ??? so that i will go for Corsair VX450. Medium settings is ok for me for high end games & i think dirt 2 game is coming with this card which is nice.

first you decide please. sandybridge or phenom

He will game @ 1600x900. So keep that in mind. Even a HD5xxx series mid - range can pull that off. Regarding waiting for SB or not, should not make a difference of to much.

Yehhh for now 4get about SB n give me nice amd configuration in 40k....Thanks.

==========================================

Please give me some suggestions with AMd Config. As asingh says I am going to play on 1600x900 resolution so which GPU suites me best ? If u drop some bucks in GPU so that purchasing Corsair vx450 is possible for me.

My last confirm budget = 40k [ Plez don't go over 40k ]

My few requirements...

About Monitor : 19/20" is more then enough. If u have any suggestion except Dell 2020M plez let me know.

About processor : Good quad core under my budget. Athlon or phenom ?

About Motherboard : Don't want USB 3.0 or SATA lll 6gbps.

About Mouse : Logitech MX518 is very nice mouse but if any other low price n with 2 side keys mouse is fine for me.

About Joystick : I think i am going for Zebronics. Nice joystick with 2 vibrator motors @ 0.4k approx

^^ Is fsp 500 safe for 6850? I think vx 450 will be safer bet.

^^ yup. better opt for Corsair VX450W or i think even CX400W will make a better buy. FSP will handle but quality isn't of Corsair's standard.

yup cx400w will be fine. easily handle. just 0.4k more.
but i think saga II 500w will also be sufficient.

Plez kindly check my post no. 22

I don't want monitor above 20". Dell in2020m looks fine for me. 20" n led with low power consumption (25w Max) where Benq G2220HD 22" is eating 42w max.

I will prefer corsair ram n PSU by saving money on monitor.

Don't want dvd writer. I all ready having 2 writer

For my 20" monitor i think Sapphire HD 5770 is more then enough @ 7.8k & which comes with Dirt 2 game

I will prefer NZXT Gamma for good air cooling solution.

guys actually i am getting confused after seeing 4 identical rigs.! what are main differences? :-D

gaurav there is no problem with kingston.

No differences man.
This is to make the OP firm on one balanced rig and not make him ask any more questions.

Kingstons are good but if i were given a choice between kingston and corsair, i will blindly pick corsair. They have earned that kind of reputation from users worldwide.

So op will decide here which ram he will go for.

Yup. Corsair all the way.

For 100 rs more i will prefer Corsair for sure
