Even if Uncharted was available for PC, the First rig will play it definitely, and the second one will do as well. Get your facts right. Read more about GPU and games.

^^ U talkin to me or OP?

I doubt whether Intex 1KVA UPS costs 3.5k or not. AFAIK it was available for ~2k. Spending more than that it not justified. Insted you can get APC 1KVA for ~4k.

SunE said:

Whoa Whoa wait. Did you just mention the Whole PS3 bundle with his RIG? That's why you claimed that it can play Uncharted? God damn. Sorry for my post, but please write clearly atleast. Make it clear first that you are including PS3 in the second RIG to the OP and tell the difference.

GTX560Ti 1GB. you don't need 2GB for these midrange GPU.

S

OP bhai why do you want such "low-end" GPU(considering your total budget). Buy the HD 7850 as advised before. It's a new and great card and also has 2GB memory.

Also HD 7850 is available on various websites and go for ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 instead of gigabyte Mobo.

T

Low end??? GTX 560 is no manner is a Low End Card.

At OPs budget he can get a 560Ti (13.5k) or a HD7850 (15.6k). Both can run any "PC" Games at HD resolution at High Setts.

S

LOL I know GTX 560 is not a low-end card but for OP's budget it is. Think about it this way: A guy wants to buy a car and has a budget of Rs 50 lakhs. So he decides to get an Audi. But since his preferred model ain't available he asks that whether he should get a Honda Civic instead??!! Obviously in that case we would say that Civic is a low-end car even though it's not right??

T

I rather Group them in terms of HD Performance than anything.

@SunE : Your explanation was not satisfactory to make the Civic a low end car buddy

if op wants 7850 it still available @hardwire

S

@Rigod would a Tata nano be satisfactory enough instead of civic ??

^^Now that's pure logic

is there any need for discussion? i think that OP has been given a lot of pretty good advice here.

i propose we lock this thread

N

Thanks for the replies.......

one more question:

For the motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3, will it support Nvidia cards, say gtx560, because its specification says that it supports Amd crosfire technology?

it will support

to run a GPU/grafix card, the mobo must have a PCIe slot. thats ALL.
are you adding more than one card? if not, ignore everything else. a modern mobo will run any modern card. company does not matter.

Please get HD 7850.. Arrange from anywhere, do anything I don't care but get it.

Buy online or, Hardwire is an option.

This card is Good value for money and has a really nice overclocking capability. Go ahead.

Here is your config:-
Intel Core i5 2500k @11,700
Radeon HD 7870 @22,000
ASUS Maximus V GENE @ 15000
SeaSonic S12 II 620W @4600
Benq G2222HDL @7500

This thread is going too long and I don't think more suggestion is needed here.

NG235, do finalize quickly. Otherwise you'll simply get confused.
