My budget is 60-65k

Mar 11, 2011 at 2:25 PM
for 60-65k range the config from our guide will be much better

Sub 60k (Mid range gaming)

Component | Make | Price Processor |Intel Core i5 2500k| 11000
Motherboard | Intel DP67BG| 8500
RAM | G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL| 2500
Graphic Card | Sapphire HD6950 1GB/MSI GTX560 Twin Frozr II OC/Asus GTX 560 Ti Direct Cu II| 14500

you can get asus p8p67 pro @12k instead of the the intel board or get gamma @2k instead of 430 and add corsair force 40 gb ssd @5.8k to settle your config ~65k!!

@master
Gaming is Ok but my first prefer is Multimedia work on Mac OS. with high graphical softwares. so please suggest me for graphical work configuration.


I think AMD II X6 1100T is better for Graphical work and Multi Apps. Running than I5.......
i dnt knw much about hardware but this is my opinion frm reading forums.

So please clear which is better n available in Rajkot, Gujarat.

I can go upto 70k is need.


& sorry for my bad English :p

Mar 11, 2011 at 3:20 PM
The suggested processor is an INTEL Sandy Bridge. And No AMD in this world till now can beat it.
So, better go with i5-2500k. Its way better than any AMD processor. Though its a QUAD core but still it beats the AMD HEXA CORE by a very large margin.

@Cyberhacker: Second generation Intel Processors are far better than current AMD.

Respect to Graphical softwares, please mention the SW names which you are supposed to use & What do you mean High Graphical Software ?

I want to know which graphical sw utilizes hexa core ???

After the configuration is decided, check with you local reseller for the availability of the same or buy it off online, if interested.

I don't think someone from TDF can literally check what is available in Rajkot, its better you do it after selection of components or check if any other digitians are from RAJKOT for more info.

@ Master: Config seems good, thanks to you for posting it here & cheers to Jassy also.

@OP: I am not sure how much you will game. But if you plan to use the computer for 3D designs exclusively, it will be better for you to go for quadro or firepro graphic solutions. I am not sure, but it might be a bit expensive than gaming graphics.

It maybe true that Quadro and GTX cards can work on a single system, but I do not think that will give a huge performance boost for OP.
So I think OP can go for 560 GTX in SLI, which will give a huge boost in gaming and also a reasonable power when it comes to the software that OP uses.

@ cyberhacker

If ur needs are want to be overclock the CPU further in future use , dont go for SANDY BRIDGE . If u really working with graphics software / games always people enthusiast to Overclock

Then u can go with the AMD phenom 1100T [ this overclocks better with good Air cooler ]

For GPU


Its better to go with GTX 570 will be better !

Its better phenom 1100T with Cuda performs better in MEDIA SOFTWARE

Hmmm I am not able to find prices of Quadro and Firepro, seems theitdepot removed it all. But the last time I remember seeing it, it was around 49k, I dont remember which. But that was the least price that I saw. Other prices were 105k and 140k for some other models.

From a price point view, it will be best for OP to go 460 gtx in SLI.
