it is better to get new monitor,is you want monitor suggestions or budget for it

That monitor is not at all good. Any graphic chip other than theat of IGP is overkill for that resolution.

Does anyone know when Haswell is coming out. I just prices for Haswell CPUs. If OP wants to buy in couple of months time, he might wait for Haswell to release.

It will release near May, maybe in My-June. Then it will take further two months to come to India.

Well, lets try to reduce the price of that config...

> i3 3220, no, anything below that is just not worth it. NO better alternatives at the same price.
> Gigabyte B75M DH3, is se sasta motherboard is duniya mei kahain

> Corsair value select 4 GB, hmm, maybe you cn save Rs.100 by getting 1333 MHz version instead of 1600 MHz version.
> Asus GTx650ti, well, get HD7770 available for 8k instead. 2k saved.
> ED blue 1 TB, no savings here.
> Corsair cx430v2, umm, again, no savings here.
NZXT Gamma, you may get CM elite 310 aailable fr 1800 instead, but then you'll have to sacrifice on build quality, ventillation adn cable management.

finally:

i3 3220 (7000)

Asus gtx 650ti 1gb - rs 10000

Total - rs 37000.

this best rig according to me for your budget

^ Buddy, the difference between an HD7770 and a GTX 660ti can still be beard, but the difference between 1600x900 adn 1920x1080 is just unbearable IMO.

So finally which monitor is gud one harshal's or Ashish's....?
confused......?

Harshil's . HD resolution is always best.

yes 1080p is good.but for monitor compromising gpu is not so good for gaming.hd 7770 can,t handle games at high @1080p while gtx 650ti seems good match to 900p.

while dell In2030m is still a very good led for budget

- *accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-2457

@op if you have budget of getting 1080p monitor and gtx 650ti both then go with it

My suggestion is to go for a true quad core, not the dual Core HT CPU like i3 3220. I think all of you have gone through the Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3 review and especially in Crysis 3, I think you haven't miss the CPU performance chart. The Dual Core i3 3220 which used to be so much superior in gaming over AMD budget quad cores, is getting hammered by even the Trinity quad core APUs. A10-5800K has a whopping 16 FPS advantage over it and FX-4170 has more than 20 FPS advantage. It is pretty clear now that game developers are making the games more multi-threaded and hence it is taking the advantages of multiple cores. If you check the Tomshardware's every Month's CPU recommendation, you will find that they are also suggesting Quad Core CPU for minimum.

So, OP should either go with i5 3470 or FX 8350 as both are similarly priced.

Here is the CPU performance chart for Crysis 3:-

@cilus: commo'n man. You know op is currently having a monitor with a resolution of 1024x768. So rather than spending money in getting a true quad core chip and a poor graphic card, it would be much much better to suggest op to get a fhd monitor instead.

I guess you are forgetting the fact that at lower resolution, games become more CPU dependent and a good CPU is very much needed. And by looking at OP's different posts, it is clear that he is gonna upgrade his Monitor sooner. By Just spending 3.5K, he can secure an i5 3470 and I think he should go for it.

thnk u everyone for ur opinions and i think at end ill go what harshal and ashish has adviced and ill like to ask that what will 500 gb hardrive cost for....?

It will cost ~3K. Get WD Caviar Blue 500 GB.

@op: can you clear one thing, if we don't suggest you a monitor right now, then will you upgrading it later? Because if you already plan to upgrade it soon, then like cilus said, a better processor can be included.

well now that battlefield 4 is launched will I be able to run it with the following components and i will not be upgrading my monitor for at least a yr or so.

Then get a Quad Core CPU.

Is a10 5800k with gtx660ti/HD7770 better than i3 3220 with gtx660ti/HD7770? And don't consider just the requirement for 4 cores in games, there are many more tasks.

yes i think a10 will be better than i3 in multithreaded games

Take the best of what you can now ie, cpu, gpu, etc etc.
If you opt for an i3 now, it cannot cope with most upcoming games. Anything below a 7850 will fail soon at hd resolution.
I liked Sainatarajan's config the best. Except for the presence of a monitor, it is prepared for majority of the games.
You can skip 4gb ram for now or opt for corsair value which are priced lower.
Take the monitor later. Until then I think you can max any game at your resolution. :razz:

Guys,how much will i5 processor cost beacuse i think ill take cilus advice and is there a good monitor at rs 6500 or under it.

I5 3470 @ rs 11000

a monitor under 7000....??

A FHD monitor will give you a better gaming experience overall. Say after X months, when you upgrade to a better monitor, the system can cope with it. An i3 and anything below a 7850 isnt going to help much then.

A few alternatives to lower the total. (cant manage anything better without changing the core components

)
RAM : Corsair Value 4gb @ 1.3k (8gb @ 2.6k)
CABINET : CM Elite 310 @ 1.8k

thnks myth and is 20" dell monitor gud for gaming and can u send me full config revised again under 38k with full names and telling what component ur telling about and hw much cost as well and how many fans will i need???
@harshil
@ashish
@Sainatarajan
plz help me bulid me final rig...?

Are you going to buy a new monitor after x months? If I have already given the suggestion.

If you want to buy a new monitor now, then the config I previously suggested is okay. But if you plan to get a monitor later, then this is good:

fx 8350 (11000)
asus m5a97 evo r2.0 (6900)
sapphire hd7850 (13000)
g.skill ripjawsx 4 GB (2100)
wd blue 1 TB (3900)
corsair cx500v2 (3500)
nzxt gamma (2500)

total: 42000

this config is way way better then what I previously suggested. However, as I previously mentioned, at a resolution of 1024x768, it will be overkill. But once you upgrade to an FHD monitor, it will be worth every penny. Just decide when will you be upgrading the monitor. Please bear with the formatting,new line is not working on mobile.

+1 ^ harshil's config.make sure you get 2gb version of hd 7850

NZXT Gamma is a very good cabinet in it's price range. Cheap cabinets compromise on size, space, airflow, ventilation, cable management and build quality. getting a new cabinet is highly recommeneded.

Just came back from MD computer and FX-8320 is available at 10.2k + tax, i5 3570 at 11.7k. Also Asus m5a97 R2. 0 is availablr at 5.6k + tax.

We have been suggesting you HD 7850 and HD 7870 which is 1000 times better than 9800 GT and still you are opting for 9800 GT.

Okay,im ready to change my gpu but is there any good geforce card available and if not then plz tell me a little less expensive and a good graphic card.
and is my rest of my config good...?

Total:39450 with 1st gpu choice and 40710 with 2nd gpu choice.

You have interchanged the cost of the GPUs... Go with NZXT Gamma at the Same price. It may look ugly But more VFM.

im kay with cm 310 and which choice of gpu?

For gpu, get the gtx 650ti, which is better in gaming that 7770. For cabinet, try to go for nzxt gamma, but if thing.s go out of budget, them 310 is the last hope. But please first try for gamma, it's a great cabinet.

I regret that I did not went with gamma... In cm 310 elite The size of the GPU and cpu cooler is limited here.... AFAIK , GPU abt 8.7" can only be put and not more than that.

okay gamma it is then and is the rest of config good enough...?
and after how much time will I need to upgrade again and would my comp. crash again and again if i go with 500 watt psu.....?

and i want to ask that is my motherboard fine or should replace it with a better one....?
