need suggestion for PSU too. :smile:

@Pratik: You can get a MSI Hawk HD5770 @ 7.5k & Sapphire HD5770 @ 7.2k.

But with 5770 you can't game at full settings ON with 1080p Resolution. So try getting a HD6850, which will cost around 9.5k

For the above you can go with Corsair VX550w or SeaSonic S12II 520 - 3.5k.

Also have a look at Tagan Stonerock 500W 80+ Bronze @ 3.1K, Corsair GS600 80+ @ 3.8K

Thanks for the suggetions but I my budget is restrcted to 6k (for GPU)

nvidia gts450 fits in your budget.

nvidia gts 450 or AMD HD 5750 will come in your budget
for PSU go for FSP saga 500W @ 2k

^^As suggested by Piyush both 5670 & 5750 can be considered along with FSP Saga II 500w.

I say GTS 450 & VX550

my vote for gts 450 + fsp saga ii 500

Go for Sapphire 5670 and Corsair CX400 Watt SMPS

HD6670 @ 5.5k and a FSP Saga II 3500W @ 1.5k.

topgear,3500w????? :wink:

HD 6670 and FSP Saga II 500W 2k.

^^ yep - you read it right ;-)

That PSU has some 25A on it's 12V rail - so it offers 300W which is more than enough to handle OP's rig with the above mentioned gfx card ( that card don't require a power adapter - remember ? ) and Op wanted the cheapest PSu he can get - so suggested him FSP Saga II 350W.

^^ i just thought about future upgrades. so i suggested the 500 one,just 500bucks more than that.

But at Full HD resolution, do you think that HD 5670 or HD 6670 can really cope up with even some of the current generation games? I think HD 5770 will be the best card to offer best performance/Price ratio at the price point.

GEt MSI HD 5770 @ 7K and Tagan Stonerock 500W @ 3K

If gpu budget is strictly 6k, then consider gts 450. Otherwise 5770+ fsp saga II 500 is a good deal. You can also opt for 6770 instead which is 5770's successor.

6770 is out already?

no. HD5670 can't play all games @ HD with everything set to high. Full HD? forget it. it was a really good gaming card but now a entry level hero :-(

less than a year after i brought it.

^^what about 6670,can't it play games at HD resolution?

HD 6670 offers performance slightly lower than GTS 450 and HD 5750. But for full HD (1920X1080) resolution HD 5770 is must.

yes. it can. its a midrange card. & so suitable for HD gaming at best. and with time (less than a year) it'll join HD5670 as another entry level card.

i'll always suggest this: if priority is gaming, get the fastest GPU you can afford. for Full HD, HD6850 is the least one should get (HD5770 is budget too low).
