Okay, so my father bought me a Dell Vostro 460 in May '11 and I was unaware of this fact and I was like "oh god, why a company desktop?"
Anyways, I've been doing mini upgrades on my own level.

What Dell gave me -

Monitor : Dell IN1920
Processor : Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz
Motherboard : Dell 0Y2MRG
PSU : Dell H350PD-00
RAM : 2 GB DDR3 (2X1 Samsung M378B2873FH0-CH9)
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 500 GB (ST3500418AS)
____________________________________No Graphics Card____________________________________


What I've upgraded till now -

Monitor : Dell S2240L
RAM : 4 GB DDR3 (Kingston 99P5471-011.A00LF)
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 2 TB (ST2000DM001-1CH164)
Mouse : Logitech G400
USB 3.0 Expansion Card : Transcend Dual Port USB 3.0 PCI-Express Internal Card for Desktop
Mousepad : Razer Goliathus - Fragged Omega - Speed

I'm happy with HDD and mouse upgrade but somewhere I think my RAM is not performing upto mark and even now I face a little slow downs as I've many start-up apps. I know that I should have better bought Corsair Vengeance but I didn't know about it at that time. Anyways, please suggest me some changes. Gradually I'll try to replace everything.
And one more thing, Dell has given me such a stupid cabinet and PSU that the USB 3 expansion card which is fitted into PCI slot is not able to get power because the SATA power connector is too short to reach there :hissyfit:

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games I'm going to run?
Ans: Watching HD movies, multi tasking, games like Crysis series, Call of Duty series, GTA series, Hitman series, FIFA series, NFS series, Battlefield series and many more.

2. What is my overall budget?
Ans: There's no such overall budget as I'm upgrading my parts one by one. Currently I'm willing to buy a graphics card, mid range which is extremely VFM. You suggest a good graphics card which suits my current config and then I'll start collecting money for that.

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No.

4. Monitor?
Ans: No.

5. When am I planning to upgrade the system?
Ans: It would be a step-by-step upgrade and not a one time upgrade. So, I choose a upgrade and start collecting money for that and when I achieve a upgrade, I switch over to next component and this goes on.

6. Where do I live? Am I buying locally? Am I open to buying stuff from online shops if I don't get locally?
Ans: I live in Patna and I just don't prefer buying locally. Instead I go to Delhi or I buy from any online store and yes it would be good if I get the item at a low price from online shop.

7. Anything else which I would like to say?
Ans: Currently I'm thinking of doing some changes with RAM and I'm saving money for a graphics card, suggest me something regarding this. Should I remove those two Samsung RAMs ?? I was thinking of getting a new monitor too as this one is not Full HD. Well, monitor is not a serious issue now, RAM and graphics card are the first thing I would be upgrading ASAP.
And any help on finding a SATA Power Connector extension for the USB 3.0 expansion card would be appreciated. I need this

Here are a few screenshots of my cabinet

ah! i know they're crap but that's not sooooo important than GPU upgrade and some changes in RAM.

You need to buy a new PSU.... And 2 GB is insufficient for gaming...

haha, currently i'm in the middle of nowhere :p I've dropped an year to prepare for engineering entrances and I still have my exams left and after June 2 I'll start taking this matter more seriously.
Since PSU is new addition now, I've kept a PSU for consideration, Corsair 430W PSU and for GPU I can not even think beyond 10k.

ram is not the issue here.i have seen people with 12gb ram & i7 systems crawling due to wrong/incorrect/incompatible system & software settings.which programs are loading at startup with what settings & which AV are you using?all these make a difference.

Ya, 6 GB Ram is more than enough for your system. Try to disable all the Start up applications. You can use Tools like CCleaner to do that. With that tool, also clear the Temp files and fix the registry.

Oh! I thought that I would replace 2X1 Samsung RAM modules with Corsair Vengeance 4 GB DDR3
Well, there are many start-up apps like Google Talk, Mobile Partner, AV, Razer Game Booster, Logitech Gaming Software, IDM, Bing Desktop.
I'm using Norton 360.

Ya, 6 GB Ram is more than enough for your system. Try to disable all the Start up applications. You can use Tools like CCleaner to do that. With that tool, also clear the Temp files and fix the registry.
I've Tune Up Utilities installed and it regularly clears up the temp files and all those stuffs. Isn't it that company that matters? I mean, if I replace replace the 2 Samsung 1 GB DDR3 RAM modules with a Corsair Vengeance 4 GB DDR3, will that be a better performer?

Please post picture of your cabinet with PSU. Cause most branded desktop makers make their own PSUs also which are like a tall version of laptop bricks not like ATX PSUs we find in market.

unless you are benchmarking with accuracy in milliseconds samsung,corsair,transcend,kingston they all perform practically same.btw samsung manufacture their own ram while most other brands including corsair simply sell them under their brand name & not manufacture them.

So, if I do so. I would be having a Kingston 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz and a Corsair Vengeance 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz.
Wouldn't there be any problem or underperforming issues with a 1333 and another 1600 MHz RAM ??

You mean to say, I should replace all the RAM modules with only one 8 GB corsair ??

for you need to use dual channel to get the full speed of 1333/1600.

get 2*4GB kits.

May 3, 2013 at 7:49 PM
for i3 2100 getting a 1600 ram is practically of no use over getting a 1333 ram so don't waste money over corsair vengeance.just take out the 2gb samsung ram & run your system with 4gb corsair 1333 only to see if it changes anything.as of now 4gb ram is more than enough for your system so if your system runs slow even with 4gb ram then even getting 16gb ram won't help you.

Oh god, seems like I'll have to replace everything. 1600 MHz would be practically of no use in my PC ??

why do you need 1600 ram?core i 2nd gen officially supports upto 1333 ram & there are millions of users around the world running such systems with 1333 ram with no issues.if you want to spend few thousand rupees to measure increase in program/game loading time by 0.05 seconds using an electronic watch then go ahead.

Is this the same PSU you're talking about?
Yes, thats the CX430V, but with a GTX660ti, you will be safer with a 500W PSU for overclocking the GPU. Go for Corsair GS500 instead IF POSSIBLE.

no i never said 430w will live longer.hardware can fail anytime.

430 is enough for your rig,with saved money on not getting 500w psu,you can get better gpu like hd 7850

if you are going to upgrade pc regularly like gpu upgrade,then get 500w

see, i'm just so unaware of my upgradation but for now, what i want is that i must get a GPU and PSU good enough to be fit for the next 2-3 years.
For this purpose, i guess GTX 650Ti is good enough and now i need a PSU with 500W + rating.

650Ti is overkill for your resolution of 1360 X 768 at 60Hz and will be a waste if you dont upgrade to atleast 1600x900. if you plan to stay on your current monitor for the next couple of years, take a 7750/7770 and stay happy. actually 7770 will be overkill too, but not as much as the 650ti, and its cheaper too ;)

We are suggesting Dell S2240L (not just 2240L, don't forget the S). S2240M does not have HDMI port while S2240L has an HDMI port (along with the VGA port). So, opt for S2240L.

Are I know there's a S, i was just too lazy to type and I thought you'll understand what I wanted to say :blush:

EDIT: One more thing, as I'm currently using Dell IN1920 and since I would be buying Dell S2240L, IN1920 would be of no use. So, will Dell offer something like i pay some money and get the monitors exchanged?

I mean I'm thinking of too far, that's why I'm going for GS600. So, will GTX 650Ti Boost will be a good deal?

since you are already fixed for 1080p, you should really consider 660/7870.

the 650ti wont be useful for much longer.

the 7870/66o will also enable you to turn on atleast some eyecandy on 1080p.

660 would be above 20k, can't afford.
btw, it's GTX 650Ti Boost 2 GB DDR5 and not GTX 650Ti. Isn't it a good one?

Ah! Sorry, got confused with the Ti thing.
See, Asus GTX 650Ti Boost is costing me around 12k and further increasing my budget is too hard. Is GTX 660 that worth ??
I mean, increasing my budget by 3k - 4k is something very difficult.

Ti - Titanium means more cuda cores / shaders which makes it faster than non ti models

The GTX 660 is 5-10% faster than the 650 TI BOOST.
GTX 650 Ti Boost = 12.3k
HD 7850 2 GB = 13.5k to 14k
GTX 660 = 14.5k to 15k
HD 7870 = 16.5k + tax
These are your options

Gamma is working fine, I've no idea why I'm facing some problems with front panel (USB and audio port). Due to the malfunctioning of front audio port, I'm irritated.
Anyways, need suggestions for a budget kickass keyboard.

I already own Logitech G400, so not interested in combos.

Then you can go for Microsoft Sidewinder X4 @ 2500. I have an X6 which I bought in April,2012 for Rs.2000 only.
