@The Incinerator
Nice Config . One suggestion . Get the Gigabyte B75 Mobo at 4k and spend the rest of the money to get a HD 7870 if possible . OP spend just little more and get the HD 7870 . You wont regret it.

i5 3550 (12400)....any better amd alternative ????.......is intel is a better choice in my circumstances i.e. long life and durability....

Gigabyte B75m DH3 (4000)....i dont know anything about motherboards...any online links/resource for beginners...1155,1156,am3+,fm3+...sorry for off topic

G.Skill Ripjaws 4GB - Rs 1700

Western Digital Series Scorpio Blue Model WD5000BEVT = 3.5k & Seagate Barracuda 1TB = 4000.........only 500rs differnce ??..what about rma and quality of segagate...i prefer WD..

Corsair CX430V2 - 2550 = no doubt best in my budget and with my uses...this one is final....

around 24k........what if i go for 8gb ram..which one is good.gskill or corsair. afaik its g.skill....

this one is available for 2.7k

*mdcomputers.in/index.php?route=product/product&filter=FRTFSDFFDFS=GSKILL=125=CHOOSE%20YOUR%20BRAND&path=74_73&product_id=1154

this one is for 3.1k

*mdcomputers.in/index.php?route=product/product&filter=FRTFSDFFDFS=GSKILL=125=CHOOSE%20YOUR%20BRAND&path=74_73&product_id=1158

whats the difernce between them..and what is single channel and duel channel ram...which is good...

hey i can build a rig for you. I live in bangalore and here you can get gr8 deals for hardware. I myself saved a lot by not buying online. The prices are inflated everywhere online.

Crysis 3 ? Get this even if a bit extra....

FX8350 - Rs 12300
Asus M5A97 - Rs 6500
Gskill Ripjaws 4GB - Rs 1700
Zotac / Gigabyte GTX 660 2GB - Rs 15300/14900
Toshiba DT01ACA100 - Rs 4100
Corsair CX500V2 - 3250

Total - Rs 42800.

GTX 660 2GB with 314.14 drivers does Crysis better than HD 7850 and 7870

logout20 , the 1st one, costing 2.7K is the 1333 MHz Ram module whereas the other one costing 3.082K is the 1600 MHz module.

Maybe the amd drivers arent ready for crysis 3 yet :razz:

Anyway, found this : Crysis 3 Performance, Benchmarked On 16 Graphics Cards : Crysis 3: The Return Of Prophet

Sometimes I think tomshardware is amd biased :-?

PS: In the 'Triple Moniter benchmark' page, check 2nd frame rate graph. 660ti sli is only 3 fps ahead of a single HD7950 Boost.

Good read. Thank You.

But somehow I like the image quality of a ATi more than a Nvidia.Its my personal view, people can differ.

Check this review,FX and a lesser card like GTX 660 (Crytek is Nvidia Biased though) is going very very strong.The GTX 660 is taking over both HD 7850 and a HD 7870. But thats for Crysis 3 only. Just dont read the conclusion ,its a great read altogether.

how you define image quality in your terms ??..smooothness etc....and which one developers prefer ..nvidia or amd ..both apps and games.....i'm agree with what amd need for crysis 3 is a driver update.also in my view crysis 3 still is in beta stage and updates are coming frequently{like far cry 3}.Its my personal view, people can differ

.,..crysis series has became benchmark for hardware{according to tomshare} thats why i,ve written crysis 3 in my requirement.i dont want in high setting ..i satisfy with medium settings....

@cilus what difference those mhz make in ram....

Color Temperature and Richer Colors.

Even with medium settings at the very moment you are way better off with GTX660 2GB over a HD7850.

cooler temp and richer color..then i will go for a amd cpu & gpu...

Well, if you want an AMD config, here is one:

FX 8350 (12500)
Asus M5A97 (6500)
G.Skill RipjawsX 4GB 1600 MHz (1700)
Sapphire HD7850 (14000)
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB (~4000)
Corsair CX500V2 (~3400)

total:

Try and get HD7870 for Rs 16500.

You should get CX500v2 instead of 430v2 to be on the safe side.

Why ??...and if i need a 500w psu is cx500v2 is as reliable as 430v2 or i should look at seasonic...

With fx8350 and hd7870,cx430v2(336Watts on 12V rail) is not enough if you take overclocking and other things into account.
Even at stock fx8350 can draw very high amount of power under heavy load,around ~100Watts more than i5 3570k.
Get corsair GS500 or seasonic s12ii 520w or something similar,for some headroom left.

As calculated from eXtreme Outer Vision - eXtreme tools for computer enthusiasts the power requirement for your mentioned rig (with no overclock) is 410 W with a recommended PSU Wattage of 460 W. However, using cpu overclock to be 5 GHz and V core as 1.35 V, the recommended PSU Wattage is 494 W, and that does not include GPU overclock. Even if you have no intention of overclocking your hardware right now, I'm 100% sure you will at some point of time (it's just irresistible

). So, to be safe, you should atleast get a 500 W PSU. You may also opt Corsair GS500 (4000). I know this may send your rig over-budget but hey, a stitch in time saves nine!

Edit: You are getting a very nice rig, so don't let a 1k let it down.

i know its irresistible

....8.4 ghz...i know that feeling...
even i couldnt resist myself from overclocking my android ..600 to 825 mhz.....LoL..
but the the rig is for my cousin...well what you guys sugg. corsair gs500 or something else...
i'm getting a nice rig ,so i wont let even 4k let it down. :-D

....i can eliminate the hdd as he has an old hdd.....i believe in "ek bar kharido ,achcha kharido,tension free raho"....

GS500 would do
