Assembling new pc for my bro...Help!!

[Jripper]

@Jas How come all of the 1TB hard disks in your table are listed at 2.7k?

[Sainatarajan]

Those Posts Were posted in Q3 2011 I think so.

[abhidev]

Components are highly imbalanced. 7770 with i5-3570k, seriously ?

whats the issue in this?

Also guys pls do not ignore speakers and ssd....also aren't the 3rd gen intel processors more efficient and better than sandybridge?

Well, getting a high end processor when you have no use of it, and adding a mediocre GPU, which will hamper your primary usage is like unbalancing a system. You won't even use 50% of juice of CPU.

also aren't the 3rd gen intel processors more efficient and better than sandybridge?

Doesn't matters for you.

then whats the suitable gpu for this proccy?

Doesn't matters for you.

why not...why wouldn't one by somehting that is power efficient and futureproof and also which as at an approx cost as that of sandybridge?

Its nothing like every CPU has got a suitable GPU, rather it depends upon your requriement/need.

Its not really power efficient and has got some heating issues due to bad TIM. Futureproof? Even SBs are.

yea read in other thread abt the heating issue...but some reviews don't say that.....well i guess its safer to go with SB than IB....

can you suggest a config with SB..with a good mobo...have lost track of the new gpus...can you suggest one(budget 10-11k)?

ivy bridge is long wait. not recommended.

if you need intel -

Just replace GPU with 6870 (in your budget). Though target for 560ti/6950 @ 13-14k. But 6870 will also be fine. Don't go below that.

And you want mobo for OC ?

Ivybridge temp problems are seriously overhyped in tdf. An existing sandybridge owner has absolutely no need to upgrade to ivybridge whereas a new owner surely can.

Ivybridge is almost as good as sandybridge as far as temps are concerned and it runs a tad hotter owing to the newer 22nm trigate transistors. Saying ivybridge has heating issues will be absolutely bull$h!t.

Besides its found out that real temp and core temp do not give accurate temp data for ivybridge processors as they do not have E1 stepping compatibility. See here.

Check this link to see hardocp's overclocking efforts - Link

So all new users can surely go for ivybridge without worrying about temps too much. Just go for a cooler as intel's stock coolers are pathetic.

Check out the following reviewer's comments and make your decision:

Comment 2

Spoiler:

Ivy Bridge is a nice jump forward for Intel and its mainstream user group. Ivy Bridge will afford mainstream users the ability to get through heavy workloads faster using less power, allowing for cooler running systems and any IT guy will tell you that is a great thing.

For enthusiasts, Ivy Bridge looks to be a "push" when sitting next to Sandy Bridge on our test bench. If you are that guy looking for edge-of-the-envelope overclocks, Ivy Bridge is looking to bring you back a couple of CPU multiplier notches compared to Sandy Bridge. If you are running at more realistic every day overclocks in the mid-4GHz range, Ivy Bride will afford you 4% to 7% better IPC than Sandy Bridge.

The new Z77 chipset features have widened a bit, but for the power user, you likely already have those needed features on your current motherboard.

Ivy Bridge is going to be a hard up-sell to Sandy Bridge users. Unless you are running at stock clocks, it is hard to look at Ivy Bride as an upgrade for the user. If you are using an Intel system prior to Sandy Bridge, excluding X58 users, then there seems to be little reason to purchase a Sandy Bridge system if Ivy Bridge is open to you as a choice.

I recently built a new system for my personal usage. I was aware of what was coming down the pike from Intel, and instead of wait for Ivy Bridge, I made the choice to build a Sandy Bridge system. If I was building today, I would go with an Ivy Bridge processor. I guess that really says it all for most [H] users.

Update- All heating issues was due to this. Going for a good TIM will solve everything.

[abhidev]

^ thanx for sharing the info buddy...so it is indeed safe to opt for Ivy bridge

[abhidev]

guys....please....sorry for asking it again....but pls let me know a new config (SB or IB) except keyboard and mouse....
The budget has increased to 60-65k
Also if the config gets finalized by tomorrow then I'll get it this Saturday(21 Jul) itself....thanx in advance

[abhidev]

hey thanx for the reply...but i wanna have an i7 config....pls suggest accordingly...

Anyone here got an IB config???

[Sainatarajan]

Why do you need an I7 config.

[saswat23]

hey thanx for the reply...but i wanna have an i7 config....pls suggest accordingly...

Anyone here got an IB config???

Just replace i5-2500 with i7-2600k for 4.5k more or i7-3770k for 7k more.

[Minion]

For gaming i7 doesn't do any miracles it performs similar to i5 so get i5 with good GPU and motherboard.

[abhidev]

Why do you need an I7 config.

won't an i7 be more future proof than i5 ?

Also instead of Gigabyte mobo suggested by @Naman ...will the Asus p8Z77-V-M be a better choice??

[Sainatarajan]

As minion said , It wont do any miracles . I5 2500K will be my Choice . It can OC and Performs equal I7 in some games. Get a High End Graphic Card and Pair it with I5 2500K . You need a good CPU that will not Bottleneck a Graphic Card .

[abhidev]

anyone???

[sarveshrokz]

i too wanna buy my system tomorrow
pls help

intel i5 2500k @13,150
intel dz68db @7,550
2 X 4gb corsair vengeance @3,300
seagate 2tb barracuda 7200rpm @6,400
cooler master 550w psu @3,750
msi 7850 twin frozr @17,150
cooler master 311 @2,450
total 53,750 INR

is this config any good ??

[Sainatarajan]

Intel DZ68DB is not a good Choice with I5 2500K. Ask your Questions in your Thread.

Get asrock extreme series motherboard and change PSU to Corsair GS series.

[abhidev]

no one.....gr8

can anyone pls pls help me out here...

hwo abt this config

[Myth]

Stick to the 2500k. Great cpu power and value for money. It wont be a bottleneck for most graphic cards for sometime to come. Most of the games are gpu dependent. The 2500k can handle the cpu part easily.

Good choice on the mobo. I have order the same one.

Take the low latency rams. Lower the better.

Benq display is cheaper and has lower contrast ratio than dell.

I am not sure about iball speakers. Choose a better audio system like altec or creative. The sound quality should be able to match the display and the performance.

For psu, take a good brand and above 550w.
Read the Power supply blacklist thread for newbies. No CMs.

[abhidev]

so the updated config goes like this


guys suggest...

have added the gfx card...pls suggest....

just added monitors in the list

[saswat23]

1. CPU is fine
2. Mobo is fine too
3. For RAM you can take Corsair Vengance 8GB for Rs.3500
4. Get WDC Blue 1TB for 5.2k, seagate is not a good choice now
5. Shell some more and grab the MSI GTX-560 for 10.3k
6. Take Asus DRW-24B5ST instead of LG.
7. Monitor is fine
8. Not sure about speakers, but iBall has decent sound as they are wooden speakers
9. You can take CM Elite 430 or 431 for the same price too.
10. For the same price, Seasonic S12II-520 is a better choice.

So, you changed the card from HD 7770 to HD 6870, but still it doesnt make sense as for 2.5k less GTX-560 is a better choice.

[Sainatarajan]

Why you are going for a I5 3570K . Get a I5 2500K and get a High Graphics Card .

[Myth]

Why you are going for a I5 3570K . Get a I5 2500K and get a High Graphics Card .

I suggested the same thing, but abhidev wants an IB.

[abhidev]

Why you are going for a I5 3570K . Get a I5 2500K and get a High Graphics Card .

Isn't IB better...m confused...can tell me why i shouldn't go for IB?

@saswat: nvidia cards hv heating problem right? Also I would prefer corsair for psu...can u suggest one considering 2yrs down the line I would overclock the proccy...

[Minion]

Abhidev,Get these don't go for ivy bridge they provide similar performance to sandy bridge but are costly.It is not worth the extra cash you are putting on instead buy a good motherboard like Asrock extreme series.
