What Advantage Would I Get If I Upgrade My Ram To 8gb?

W

get 4gb ram for now & buy another 4gb ram only if you need it which i doubt you will.more than 4gb ram is needed only if you frequently use some serious photo/video editing or like to open 30-40 tabs in a browser like chrome with flash enabled.

NO WAY!
xD
i at max will use 2-3 flash tabs at once together.

btw i was wondering if i could opt for a another dell ips panel dell monitor,ie,dell stt40m(if i not wrong) so i could save 300-400 bucks on it as i wont use HDMI port..
so no use..
tell me some more stuffs where i can save on items..
and small savings could help me buy a better GPU (if it cud be possible or its better saving..isnt it?

)

Goodluck for your purchase

as far as i know dell "S" series is cheapest ips panel series of dell with exception of 24" S series model which is AMVA.ST series is TN panel & doesn't come close to "S" series in terms of color fidelity or viewing angles.you may save on cabinet by getting some lower coolermaster cabinet model.

Day after tommorow!

Day after tommorow!

bro dont change anything now its the best u can get in price bracket as what i think so just get it and post it on your latest purchases

D

the next gpu to consider is 650ti which is around 10k. You can save around .5k from cabby and some more by getting generic keyboard and mouse and some more by getting a corsair value ram and at last extending a bit budget......

7770 will not be enough to play modern games at 1080p resolution, better get 650ti.......

my (persoal) reasons to choose 8 gb ram :
i use flash projector to run multiple copies of a game, so, 4 gb fills up real quick. im still punching myself for getting just 4 gigs.

D

good config man. also better go with 8gb. ram is pretty cheap.

T

Well,guys i dont think that my needs would require a 8gb ram..
4gb suffice my needs.
and i think that my rig's okay for my needs.
and i dont need to go for AMD .. right ?

ThANKyoU!

very good rig.. Get additional 4 GB if you feel the need..

T

could get it later on if i feel the need!

btw,which ram should i go for right now?
is gskill RijawsX perfect?
or vengeance?
or trident?
pls tell me?

ps-in the same budget

RipjawX is best.. followed by vengeance
But Id get Corsair as it has good warranty(my case)

T

Tell Me .. In my case which shud i go for?

get 7850. 7770 may have problem handling 1080p resolution in upcoming games.

I think you should get the configuration without the Graphics card and use the Intel Hd2500 igp for some time. AMD is going to release a new card HD 7790 at the end of March which will be based on GCN 2.0 architecture and proably within 10k bracket.

games like battlefield 3 can use 4gb ram alone

bo,the prob is that :
1.i am too excited to play off games on my config like COD,BF3,TF2,etc. so cant think to
2.as nehru place is a 1 hour journey frm my home ... my dad doesnt feel comfortable going again and again there.!
3.i am not even sure that whther my dad will lemme buy the gpu at that time as if i tell him that this is the price he will be shcocked....in the current rig ... i have hided it from him!

dude, after playing i can clear its process to give back system some ram to make me work ... if i feel that's not working..
i will buy a new ram then

W

before playing battlefield 3 turn off/end all non-essential processes like browser/skype/messenger/anything not needed in system tray & with some game settings at mid/low level it should run fine with 4gb though ram usage will be quite high(at least 80%).

well i guess, it may just run... but id still suggest adding a ram stick a year later...

T

Someone tell me about the gpu...
Better adding 600 to the budget and getting a gtx650...
Btw,pls suggest me another dell ips panel monitor full hd which is a bit cheap than s2240l...
How is s2240m...it just doesnt have the hdmi port...i dun want that too.
So...

s2240l is the best monitor money can buy at that price point.

T

Hows s2240m...?
I guess the only differnce they have is of hdmi port?

Technogeared007 said:

go to dell website and compare both of them as simple as that

T

dude,i just did .. and cording to me the only difference isaw in s2240m and s2240l was only a hdmi port
if i am wrong at any point please correct

L: VGA + HDMI
M: VGA + DVI
IMO get s2240l

T

Okay!
Well,going for a l
Btw,today i contacted smc today ... They said they dont have cx430v2 and said me to get cm gx450...is it okay? (Its 800bucks expensive)
They also didnt have cm k380
Pls tell some other chasis in the same range,ie,3000 with good led fan and looks wise shud be as good as cm k380 and also shud have same dimensions(cannot be more bigger but can be a bit smaller cuz i have made a new computer table for myself according to its dimensions..so pls help accordingly)

ThankYou!

no hd 7770 is faster than gtx 650 around 20-25%.gtx 650/hd 7750 performs same.

you can opt for 'saphhire' hd 7770 at rs 7900 due better service support
