Hey, guys.

I'm new to thinkdigit, a friend introduced me here.


I needed a new GPU
So I thought of buying this:

HIS AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 GPU 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com

My PSU is 450 watts, I was happy that the GPU could run.

My question is that at 5k and below is there any other GPU which is better than the above?

My second question is with the below specs

Is there any very old or bad part (CPU/Mobo) that I really should upgrade and please list the part which it should be upgraded with too

and lastly, Is it okay to buy a Transcend Ram? I did research and on the DDR3 Ram guide Transcend wasnt on one of the better RAM companies.


Thanks a lot, i'm not sure whether it is in the correct sub-forum, i hope it is.

:)

Prefer buying a HD 6670 which has GDDR5 memory. DDR3 memory is slow.

Corsair/Kingston/Gskill are much more reliable than Transcend when it comes to RAM.

Also, read this thread completely :): *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/power-sup...89-power-supply-blacklist-thread-newbies.html

Buy MSi 6670 1GD5, it has GDDR5 memory and so you can run games really nicely. It might cosr you slightly more than 5k but is totally worth :)

@ico, I had previously read the thread, and was the very first threads I have read. (actually my friend who introduced me asked me my PSU for my GPU and then he said my GPU might not work because my PSU might be desi. :p then he told me to visit that thread but idk the model of the PSU will look into that today.

Can someone tell me the site in which we upload pictures and then put them here? Imgur doesnt work :(

E5700 is a very good cpu - if you don't have a value series Intel Original mobo you can try Ocing the cpu for better performance provided you keep the cpu in it's theremal specs, you have a good PSu and a cabinet with enough airflow.
