Mid-range gaming rig. Need Advice
I was thinking of upgrading my PC a while ago, but as of now I'll just buy a new one.
1. Motherboard - ?
2. Processor - i5 Ivy -which one?
3.Graphics Card - budget 15k - thinking of gtx 660 but I wonder what it costs and as to, if it will be available. Scared about the 192 bit memory bandwidth.. should I go with ATi 7850 ? CUDA is hardly useful but will miss Physx. Will be gaming @ 1080p. I play RPGs/MMOs mostly and no FPS, so need the processor to be above par too.
4. PSU - 550w - ?
5. RAM - 2or3 x 4 GB - ?
Was thinking of getting a mobo and processor for ~20k, gfx card for 15k and RAM +PSU for 7-8k or about. Also what about cooling ? how much do the non-stock coolermaster ones cost ?
I'm certain of the rest of the stuff myself so don't need info on em.
Will be buy it within a week from Nehru Palace, New Delhi. Dunno which shop(s), any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit : what about 1TB 6gbps HDDs ? do they perform better in any way ? I'm not going for an SSD now.. may do.. will see how it goes when i'm buying.
