Hi Guyz,

I want your Expert advice on buying New PSU and GPU (With New Cabinet if possible).

Current System -:
Processor - Intel Core i3 530 2.93Ghz
Mobo - Intel DH55TC
RAM - Transcend 2GB 1333MHz DDR3
HDD - 1) Transcend 500GB 7200RPM SATA
2) WD 1TB 7200RPM SATA
PSU - Circle PSU 430Watts
Cabinet - Iball 8181

My budget - 15k (GPU + PSU + Cabby(If possible)).

If the new graphic card and PSU requires more space then i am open to buy new Cabinet like NZXT Tempest or Gamma.
Will the graphic card get bottlenecked ??

Do share your feedback and which graphic/ PSU to buy.

I am also open for Online buying.

Thanks

Then get HD 6870 for 12k and corsair GS600 for 4.8k if you want to get a futureproof rig to some extent. Otherwise get MSI HD 6850 cyclone for 9.5k + corsair gs500 @ 4k + corsair carbide 300r.

Do i have to change the cabinet for HD 6870 and GS600.

^^ I dont think so , and you can look into Seasonic S12II 520 @4k as it is all what you need for PSU. :p and get a 2GB Corsair DDR3 RAM @0.8k as most games nowadays require atleast 3GB RAM to run without a lag . eg.BF3

IMO, HD 7770 or HD 6850 is more than enough for games at 1600*900 resolution (leaving some exceptions at extreme graphics settings)
