CPU for 40k

[Cybertonic]

Hi ppl,
I'm planning to assemble a rig for 40k for gaming. I already have a 17" LCD monitor which I will be using and the config I've decided is as follows -
Processor : AMD Phenom ii X4 955 BE - 8k / 1050t 10.5k
Motherboard : Plz suggest a specific model thats overclocking friendly
RAM : 2*2 GB DDR3 - 5.8k
HDD : WD caviar blue 500GB - 2k
Graphics card : HD Radeon 5750 1 GB GDDR5 - 9k / 5770 - 10k
CD drive : 1.1k
Cabinet : NZXT Gamma : 2k
Total : 27900 - 31400

Ppl pls comment and suggest a mobo and PSU for this config as well as a UPS (UPS not in budget).

I ran across this calculator here but it only lists CM PSU options. Plz tell me how reliable are CM PSU's.

Here hope this helps...
Gaming PC under 50k

HDD : WD caviar blue 500GB - 2.5k
Graphics card : HD Radeon 4870
CD drive : 1.1k
Cabinet : Zebronics Antibiotic : 2.2k
Wifi card - not sure of price

Ppl pls comment and suggest a PSU for this config as well as a UPS (UPS not in budget).

Processor : AMD Phenom ii X4 955 BE - 8k CHANGE IT TO EITHER 965 OR NEW 1050T

Motherboard : 785G based motherboard - 4.7k SEEMS OK BUT U CAN GO FOR 880G BASED MOBO AT THE SAME PRICE

RAM : 2*2 GB DDR3 - 5.8k OK
HDD : WD caviar blue 500GB - 2.5k SEEMS DECENT
Graphics card : HD Radeon 4870 NOW THIS IS THE AREA OF CONCERN
SEE 4870 IS A POWERFUL CARD BUT ITS POWER HUNGRY TOO
BETTER GO FOR HD 5770 ALMOST SAME/BETTER PERFORMANCE WITH LOW POWER USAGE

CD drive : 1.1k

Cabinet : Zebronics Antibiotic : 2.2k BETTER OPTION IS NZXT GAMMA AT 2K

other than ECS none selling 880G cheap. a 785G board @ 2.1k, Biostar TA785G3 HD seems good fit.

price have dropped i feel. 5.3k or so good one.

yes, look evil. not too much. perfectly suites for those who wants some style with a few good features. not much talk about. cable management is poor. only 1 X 120mm LED red/blue (depending on the colour of cabby). 90degree HDD placement. bottom PSU placement. 5 fan capacity. its like a Cooler master + NZXT hybrid.

I've head that biostar mobos arn't that good. I'd prefer Asus Gigabyte or MSI

Ppl ty for sooo many replies but plz tell wether CM PSUs r good or not and also tell abt a good mobo(i can't find 880G based ones on any online store).

its not that biostar mobos are bad
its the model which make it bad or good due to the features on it
if u still think like that,then opt for MSI /gigabyte(but they'll be a lil costly)

also CM PSUs arent bad
its the Model which......bla bla bla.......
CM extreme series should be neglected
corsair/antec/FSP/Seasonic are the nice and reputed brands to look for

and where do you stay?are u going to buy ur PC online?

[Cybertonic]

nop i'm going to buy them frm nehru place in delhi but i'll go there only when config is decided as its a bit far frm my home

well yes. upto 2.5k, it'll be sweet deal. at 3.2k + tax, no more sweet. still, if looks matter, can be tried. still i'll say price is high.

were. no more. they are good if u go for the T series. however Asus quality coming down the pipe. Gigabyte price going uppppp..... & no sigh of stopping. MSI is value. priced right.

except extreme power & the + version. everything good.

than go for 785G or 790GX (MSI 785GM E53. the bio* i mentioned above) both are good mobo & priced well too.

Hm..Now I think so.I have Biostar TA785G3 HD.Features and price are good.
But lacking perfection.PC takes so much time to wake up from sleep.Also USB device cant wake up PC from S3 sleep.I have tried my best in bios, even updated it.Still no solution.Like this small inconveniences are there.But in MSI all were perfect.

[Sam]

go for Corsair VX450W, if going for HD5770. anything above, VX550W will suffice. if going by CM PSU, go for GZ 550W, it falls between Corsair VX450W & 550W.

its a calculator made by CM to calculate what wattage PSU to be used by a particular system. nice 1. tried a few time before. however the HD5670 option was missing earlier. hope they fixed it now.

told u, it'll be costly. may try the Gigabyte 785G with USB 3.0 for 5.8k or so.

[ajai5777]

E51 is mATX.If u fit a monster card in it,you'll lose your both PCI's.But E53 is ATX and there is enough space to breath.

also the quality of E53 good. 140W proccy support (not matters much as X6 limited to 125W so is X4 965 BE).

plz comment

that card available for 9k, if u choose Biostar only. however i don't think SMC sells bio card. but card was a good one. got a good aftermarket cooler. rest everything good. if settling for sapphire/MSI HD5770, i'll suggest opt for the MSI HAWX edition.

yah, no problem bro. calculated it earlier once. and its coming good. will setup the connection once more. than try again.

[Piyush]

oh yes. damn. my eyesight failing day by day. at 9.1k, the MSI HD5770 a nice buy. considering MSI's product are generally better than BIO*. however i don't understand why most shops, online & street level don't keep 512Mb variants. 512Mb version of HD5670 missing in SMC also.

piyush, both PSU calculator links opening now. i know something wrong with the net settings.
