gtx 670 is comparable to hd 7950 boost while 680 is compared to 7970

And what about ups?

Get the APC 1.1 KVA one. Price is around 4.7 to 5K.

Does he really need 1.1 KVA?? Isn't the 600 V enough??

Shiva

for a gaming PC get the highest gpu power you can afford so getting a 7970 makes sence.

If you go with i7 over the i5 suggested you won't notice any significant performance improvement in gaming.

get these Logitech M100 USB 2.0 Mouse ~ Rs. 390 + Dell USB 104 Quiet Key USB 2.0 ~ Rs. 390 Rs.780

Please do buy the UPS if your area has power cuts. Cause if you are gaming from a HDD trust me it will crash if on game power fails + tress on PSU & GPU.

So get the KB+Mouse i suggested for now, upgrade later to a gaming components.

What about the intel rig??

Good but the AMD makes more sense for the money. The Intel with that cheap motherboard is a no no. If at all the Intel get a H77 chipset based motherboard atleast for an i5 for Rs 6200. Dont cut corners when it is a motherboard in question.

Get the M5A97 Evo R2 @ 7k since it has 6 + 2 Phase and it will help OP in OCing and the Newer Games have started to use more cores , so it would be wise enough to get the FX 8350 than the Intel 3470

Thanks,but is this mother board nice?and what about UPS,electricity often goes in my area so i need ups

That motherboard is good but you should go with the Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 at 7K as suggested by Sainatarajan. For UPS, opt for the APC 1.1 KVA model as I suggested earlier.

Should ibuy gtx 680?,and i don't know which brand to buy for 7970,asus or saphirre there are so many,which is good?

Get the Sapphire HD 7970 which is cheaper than the GTX 680

The thing is if u are rich and want to spend more money don't want to go to budget side then buy gtx 680
else settle with hd 7970
680 is better for crysis 3

Get the M5A97 EVO R2.0,of course its a great motherboard.HD7970 for a monitor that is refreshing at 60 FPS (DELL S2240L) is absolutely awesome. Buy it! No point getting unnecessarily confused here.

D

You could try matrix version (performs best but little costlier)

You could try matrix version (performs best but little costlier)

No matrix version is not recommended as it does not cost little extra, it is almost 6K costlier than than the Sapphire Dual Fan OC version of HD 7970. The OC version comes with a very good dual slot cooler and can be overclocked very easily.

V

Uhm try getting a custom one like gigabyte windforce etc, I think sapphire one has a stock cooler and pcb.

Sapphire version has the reference PCB but a Dual Fan copper pipe based custom cooler.

Ok 6K is too much

get the sapphire one....

Why do you want a Cooler master psu, they are blacklisted . Go for the corsair. Regarding ups, the 1.1KVA model costs 5250. Why don't you go for the 600v model - it is 2160rs only??

Shiva

OP dont think that since the name is Cooler Master , it will cool down ur pc. It is one of the many blacklisted PSUs. Check the PSU section for more info. Corsair, Seasonic are very good brands.

V

^^Cooler master GX series is fine,so is Silent Pro series.

V

Lol,You all confused me again

V

TX650v2,tx750v2 are fine.You can go with those.

V

I want 750 watt psu shiva,if cooler master one is not so good,then i don't know other brands,please suggest me

S

Corsair . Go for the Corsair TX650-M (6000rs) model.

Shiva

You are fine with the TX650V2. If at all you might just get the TX750V2 too. Dont get the M versions they are not as good as the V2.

Cooler Master Silent Pro is a great PSU. I used to have 1000 watter (SP Gold) and it was awesome.

@vrjdude94>> So, what is the final config you arrived at? Pls post.

First of all,sorry for replying late,in my area all the lines of internet were removed because of some reasons but they have been reset,and i wanna ask something,do i need a cpu cooler?

if you are going for FX 8350 AND overclocking a CPU Cooler is a must.CM Hyper 212 EVO is what you should get

V

No,i wont overclock,do i still need a cpu cooler?

vrjdude94 said:

No. But if your are getting an fx 8350, chances are very high that you will overclock it in future. Getting a cpu cooler won.t send you back by 10k or so; it's just ~4k investment for a cool system. However, if your are absolutely sure that you will never look towards overclocking in future, then you may stick to the sto

Change the psu to tx 650v2 instead of 650m.

Change the psu to tx 650v2 instead of 650m.

Get the M5A97 evo R2

For PSU, you can also opt for Seasonic PSUs which are cheaper but offers same quality as Corsair. In fact Seasonic is the OEM for TX V2 series CORSAIR PSU.

Seasonic SS-750SJ 750W 80+ PSU is available around 5.6K in Theitwares.com. It will reduce your budget by 2K. 2ndly there is no need to buy cooler right away if your budget isn't permitting you. The AMD stock cooler which comes with FX octacore processors are of very good quality and comes with three copper heat pipe. From Asus Utility provided with the Driver utility, you can select the Turbo Profile for CPU Fan speed or create your own profile for overclocking. If configured properly, mild overclocking is possible with it; you can reach 4.2 to 4.3 GHz stable.

The TX-M made by CWT is not as good when compared to the Corsair TXV2 made by Seasonic. The problem is you skip reading post posted for your good.

The Samsung SH-S223-F is the best Optical Transport that you will ever find in the Indian market. It is made by Samsung and Toshiba in collaboration. It will beat any Asus hands down. Asus are not made by Asus at all,they are 3rd party drives marketed by Asus. The Samsung has the most silent and vibration free disk loader mechanism . As a audio enthusiast I know a thing or two about drive mechanisms. Of all my OPD this is by far the best.

^Thanks for the info.
