If you are going to sli/cf in the future, you selected a perfect build, If not go with the hitman4's build as Vapor X will blow the pants of Gtx 660. I am gonna make one too after my 12th

!! Hope I get enough marks

^hitman4, No offence, but IMO it would be better if people posted only the parts they would like to change in a previously posted config rather than posting the whole config with the reason for changing those parts. Again, no offence.

lol

i was just doing some finger excersize

^ hehe, anyways, back to the topic:

Motherboard Gigabyte H77M D3h

OP is not overclocking so an H77 chipset would not be of much use, so is it worth the extra 1k?

Mouse Pad Razer Goliathus Fragged Omega Control

Investing in a better mouse + Kb is better than investing in a good mouse pad IMO.

Thank u , its an awesome config but the problem is that the motherboard you have chosen is very limited and i would like mine o be future proof and a mktherboard supporting IB processors is what i want ! Also tue graphic card is a bit too much a 2Gb would be just fine

and i prefer nvidia despite the price since it does not have driver and technical problems thank u

Could u suggest a change in a few parts that would make it cheaper !

H77 is non overclocking motherboard Z77 is an overclocking motherboard. It has the same features of z77 motherboard except the ability to overclock

A gaming mouse without a good mouse pad is a waste imo...

S

Yes so i might go with hitmans choices but could u tell me the best graphic card in the 15k-16k range ? Thanx

H

you can easily fit hd7950 in your budget so why compromise on the most important computer part for playing games

S

Basically because i dont want to comprimise on my motherboard ! I want a z77 asus or some companies motheboard so i can overclock my cpu ! Also i need a case with 4-5 fans so i have to invest in fans too for a good airflow in my case !

Well the default of most mid range cabinets will do.
Skip the SSD and get the GPU and buy SSD later with savings.

^ agree, waiting 15 seconds; well maybe 20, or 30 or 40 seconds; on bootup is better than seeing jagged graphics.

My Suggestion:

Component	Model number	Price
Processor	AMD FX-8350	11400
Motherboard	Asus M5A97 Pro	7600
RAM	G.Skill RipjawsX 8GB 1600MHz CL9 (2x 4GB)	2600
Graphics card	Sapphire HD7950 Vapor X	21500
Monitor	Dell ST2240L	8400
HDD	WD Black 1TB	6200
SSD	OCZ Vertex 4 128GB	7500
PSU	Corsair TX650V2	5200
ODD	Asus DVD-RW Black	1000
Chassis	NZXT Source 210	2400
KB & Mouse	Logitch MK200	650
Speaker	Logitech Z313	1950
	Total	75300

Optional Upgrade: Mouse: Logitech G400 @1,400/-

P.S. don't buy from flipkart. Things are totally overpriced there.

^^ Perfect. A balanced combo.

The configuration given by D6bmg is the perfect balanced rig, maintaining balance between CPU horse Power and Graphics card Rendering capabilities.
smokerz123, just getting a Z77 chipset based motherboard won't allow you overclock alone, you need to buy a K series Intel Processor which will cost you around 14.5K.

S

Cilus , see my first specs - it clearly states the i5 3570K and the asrock z77 chipset motherboard

iv done my homework

and i will take his config into consideration

its an awesome config

thank u alot

Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 have LLC problem. If you can, avoid it.

S

Also do u think i should go with amd processor or the i5 ? I mean the 8570fx is 6 cores i dont need a hexa core processor ! Do i ? I mean im not a graphic designer or smthin ! So the i5 is my choice . Tell me why the amd fx ?

I think you want to say FX-8350 as there isn't any 8570 FX Processor. No FX 8000 series are not 6 Core, they're 8 Core CPU. FX 8350 is a 8 Core CPU with 8 MB L2 + 8MB L3 Cache and runs at 4 GHz stock speed.

S

Im sorry , i mean the 8350 fx and i meant 8 cores and do i really need 8 cores for gaming ? And random video playback and the internet ? Umm my giess is no the i5 will suit me just fine wont it ? And will the asrock pro MoBo do ? For about 10k ?

AT your budget, you can't accommodate 3570K plus a good Z77 motherboard (in terms of features and overclocking capability) and a good graphics card.
According to current market prices, you are 5K short to accommodate such a config. THat's why I've suggested FX-8350 over Intel so that you can have a balanced rig at your disposal with the scope for future upgradation.

smokerz123 said:

Whole Asrock pro series is worse than asrock extreme series.

S

Well thank u

8cores for 12k is betta than 4 cores for 14k haha

and probably when asus was linked to asrock there motherboards were better

The config suggested by d6bmg is perfectly balanced. As an SSD is suggested, you may get a WD Green 1TB HDD, instead of Black series and invest the savings in better quality KB/Mouse.

S

Okay thank you very much

im welcome to any better suggestioms

V

You know that all i5's are partially locked right??
you can get a 3470 and overclock it to 3.8ghz on stock cooler and voltages easily.
Put the saved amount into hd 7870=gtx660ti and you will have a lote more power to tackle future games becos 7850~gtx 660 are in at most mid 40s in current titles at 1080p

In short exchange 7950 for 660ti or 7870 in hitman's build
use that money to upgrade mobo to an asrock extreme4

S

Lots of good advice has been shared. I would personally take the balanced build. Oh and harshilsharma63 - you've got a cool avatar!

^ he he,
