Budget Gaming PC for 50k Strict

[desiJATT]

^^Finalised the rig?

Yes, but still not decided about the HDD, some vendors in Jalandhar say 500GB is minimum available, i can't seem to get 250GB. Rest all is finalised, the quotation for prices will come tomorrow and will order after my AIEEE exam on 29th.

[MegaMind]

WD 250gb - 3.8K
WD 500gb - 4.1K

^ Seagate Barracuda 1TB, Sata III, 64MB cache, 7200rpm - 5400 [Flipkart]

[Tarun]

Will go for keyboard mouse, optical drive and speaker later on.

get a Source 210 non elite version for approx for 2k or a NZXT gamma instead and try to fit a 8GB RAM in
or
you would fit a 7870 in it too

960T 6.9k
Asrock 870 Extreme 3 4.5k
4 GB RAM 1600Mhz 1.6k
500GB HDD 4.3k
NZXT Gamma 2k
7870 22k
Benq 1080p monitor 7.2k
FSP Saga II 500w 2k
----------------------------
Total 50.2k

Hope you like it

and i would suggest you if you dont mind and have a external HDD for storage then for 4k for 4.5k go for a 60GB SSD it would be worth it

[RiGOD]

960T 6.9k
Asrock 870 Extreme 3 4.5k (Just 4+1 Phase Power Design)
4 GB RAM 1600Mhz 1.6k
500GB HDD 4.3k
NZXT Gamma 2k - 2.6k
7870 22k - 22.5k
Benq 1080p monitor 7.2k - 7.5k
FSP Saga II 500w 2k - 2.3k
----------------------------
Total 50.2k - 52.3k

And you missed the UPS buddy

[MegaMind]

Guys, a 1333MHz RAM is enough.. No need to go for 1600, OP can spend 500 bucks on something else..

[Tarun]

firstly motherboard is a 4+1 Heatsinked Motherboard whihc can handle a 4Ghz 960T overclock and support CF/SLi x8/x8 have a look HERE its can handle a X6 at 3.8 to 3.9 Ghz then y not a 960T locked hex @ 4.oGhz
change Cabinet to CM Elite 310 which is i guess under 2k
Monitor my bad its for 7.5k
GPU is for 22k HERE which is a overclocked version if you search a Sapphire or Powercolor Card it would be cheaper
Anyways thanx for the feedback but overall what do you think ???

[RiGOD]

@MegaMind - You're right. No noticeable performance difference between 1600MHz & 1333MHz on a Deneb.
@Tarun - Buy link for the ASRock you suggested please.

[Tarun]

*EDIT*
Ok i found out the that the Benq monitor i had seen was THIS for 7k

G.Skill 1333mhz 4GB RAM 1.1k
500GB HDD 4.3k

i found that price when i had gone to Lamington rd last week

[MegaMind]

^^7870 on a VS450 is not a good choice..

[Tarun]

hmm then a FSP SAGA II 500watts ??? i dont understand but a 450 watts PSU is enough for 7870

[MegaMind]

hmm then a FSP SAGA II 500watts ??? i dont understand but a 450 watts PSU is enough for 7870

VS450 is not a 80+ certified & recommended only for entry level PCs..

[Tarun]

hmmm its tough to get a PSU at that price hmmm

will a Seasonic 430 do ??? i would adjust the Cabby to Elite 310 or Bijli ?? what do you guys say ?

[RiGOD]

Its not about the Watts buddy, but the current from the 12V rails that matters. The 12V rail of VS450 provides just 22A and you think that'll be sufficient to OC the 7870? At the same time SeaSonic S12 II 520's 12V rail can provide up to 40A and that's the bare minimum PSU for this rig.

And coming to the case, it is as important as any other performance components. The CM Elite 310 is poor in cooling as well as cable management. In that department NZXT Source 210 Elite wins by miles.

Compromising on these stuff just to grab the 7870 will surely result in an unbalanced rig.

[Skud]

Stick with this:-


No need to change this. You may opt for higher capacity HDD if you can/want, but that's about it.

[MegaMind]

This is more balanced,


@Skud, didn't see that coming..

[RiGOD]

Yeah, the 1333MHz RAM makes more sense. Perfectly balanced.

[Skud]

@Skud, didn't see that coming..

No problem.

@OP: Finalize. We have had enough discussions to come to a conclusion.

i to agree anyways was just R&D and fun to fitt a 7870 in there

[desiJATT]

haha guys thanks for discussing these matters Helped me a lot reading all those. I have already finalised the config, the quotation will come tomorrow and will order after 3 days. Will get the quotation in the evening.

Also, i will go for the 1333MHz RAM as i have read a lot that 1600MHz doesn't give a performance boost at all.

Also, to buy 7870, I have to get better cabinet and better PSU which will extend the budget a lot. HD7850 is more than enough for my needs already.

Thank you all again who made this possible for me. Will update with High-Def pics of rig as soon as I buy it.

[Tarun]

way to go then whats making you wait

[desiJATT]

Unfortunately I didn't get the quotation today, will probably get it tomorrow Sunday, i am off to Bathinda for my AIEEE exam and will be updating about the config Monday onwards The dealer has specified that he can arrange most of the components I listed him, so if there's something not available, I have to look for alternatives also.

You guys know what? I had bought Battlefield 3 Limited Edition around 3 months back, and haven't played it a single time! So I am really really eager to buy my PC in the course of coming 2-3 days coz I can't wait anymore.

Guys buying the following components tomorrow -

AMD Phenom X4 960T

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3

Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600MHz

WD Blue 500 GB HDD

NZXT Source 210 Elite Still unsure about it Wont buy it 2mrw.

Seasonic S12II-520

Optical Drive --- 1100

KB/Mouse --- 700

Speaker --- 1000

Buying a UPS instead. 1KVA for around 2.5k

Monitor Benq G2222HDL

Sapphire HD7850 2GB

--> I am still not decided on Cabinet. I am NOT getting NZXT ANYWHERE! They say there is no NZXT dealer in North India right now. Checked Delhi based wholesalers also, they don't deal in it. Only options are Cooler Masters and Corsairs.

--> Suggest me a good cabinet. Budget is around 4K. If the investment is NOT worth it, suggest me a cheaper one (I am skeptical about the looks too, so keep that in mind) and I'll buy a CM TX3 Cooler for the rest of my money. The blacklist for Cabinets are - CM 430/431/301/301 Plus. I don't like these cabinets much, totally by seeing their looks. Suggest me a good looking + feature rich like cable management and pre installed fans. NZXT Source 210 was good looking and feature rich, but I can't seem to find it. I am also NOT open to online buying but if their's COD option then I can rethink about it. The cabinets in my mind are Corsair 300R and CM 690 (I dont know how much it costs but my dealer said its in budget, also tell how's it?)

You cant get CM 690 for your budget . it price is >5k .

[desiJATT]

I am looking for Corsair 300R. Will ask the dealer if he can get that for me..

[desiJATT]

Guys i am not getting a good UPS here. We have a Microtek 1KVA here but it's 3900 here, the 800VA one is 2900. The question is, will it be able to provide some backup to my PC? I just need time to close all the programmes and shut it down.

[RiGOD]

^^Microtek? Some of our forum members have had bad experience with it I guess, no other brand available?
