Suggestions needed for 1080p Gaming PC- budget 50,000 Rs

[WILDLEGHORN]

The Seasonic S12 620W is a great PSU. NO doubt in that. Why do you want 6 fans???????
Four Fans will do.

I want 6 fans because in summer times it reaches around 44*C here in this part of West Bengal regularly It gets so hot that even after sundown when I play my games the ambient temps in room remain at about 35*C. Also I don't have any AC in my room

So I wanted to get absolutely best air flow possible to keep the insides of rig well ventilated

[Sainatarajan]

K. Then buy 6 fans.

Better get a water cooler.

Better get a water cooler.

Not really a big fan of water cooling at all. Air cooling will do the job fine for me with the CM Hyper 212 Evo + NZXT Source 210 Elite + 6 case fans

Does anybody know how Hyper 212 Evo works while installing? Is it based on push-pull config or are their retention plates to hold it firm from the back of mobo? Push-pull config based hsf-coolers always make my head hurt & they don't even fit properly so any info on this is welcome

[Tech_Wiz]

After like 4 fans there is not a significant difference in temps as you go higher. So 6 is Kinda Overkill imo.

I got a Hyper EVO. It has a Mobo Back Plate. Very easy to assemble but a bit tricky to get those 4 screws tightened after its done.

Ok I decided to change to four 120mm case fans
But I noticed a very important thing that the NZXT Source 210 Elite doesn't come/have any dust filters so that's a bit of a bummer. Any other good alternative recommendations for a similar type of gaming case like that one with good air-flow & plenty of provisions for case fans but in a similar sorta budget around Rs. 3500 or less? Must have a dust filter!!!

Get CORSAIR CARBIDE 400R @ 4.5K . It is a great cabbie . Spend 1K more and enjoy.

Yeah you're right, even the "comments" page on that review clearly says the same plus it's a bit costly compared to NZXT Source 210 Elite. Practically speaking I just need a NZXT Source 210 Elite "clone" but which has dust filters & is priced in the same price range as nzxt source 210 elite

Place where I live in is an industrial place & percentage of carbon compound in air is SEVERELY high, trust me!!! I have to clean my current crappy desktop case (which doesn't even have any case fan support) every 3 months & there is plenty of dust inside the case each time I clean.

Guys I was thinking of going even further with the gfx card & getting the R7950 instead of the R7870.

Will this be a good move for 1080p very high detail gaming, moving further into the future?

Will the i5 2500k proc be enough for this GPU? I'm also gonna be OC'ing this card if I do get it- MSI R7950-2PMD3GD5/OC Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Graphic Card

Also the SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W PSU will be good enough for this card while OC'ing with my rig?

My mobo is- ASRock Z77 Pro4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

suggestions (if any)???

[Cilus]

Ya, 2500K can handle the card easily.

Everything looks great.
But the power supply bothers me a bit
Better go for a higher psu like Corsair TX750 or more.

[WILDLEGHORN]

Only for 1080p Ultra detail gaming purposes what GPU would you guys suggest with i5 2500k- 7950 or GTX 570 ??
Also is there significant difference in price between the two??

1) How's this PSU for OC'ing i5 2500k + MSI 7950 on the ASRock Z77 Pro4??
SeaSonic SS-750JS 750W 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

So do some research on net if necessary about that particular PSU I linked above & tell me how's that PSU quality wise for long term operation? I don't wanna buy a crappy PSU as I'm already a victim of crappy Cooler Master PSU

2) Also will this card-
MSI R7950-2PMD3GD5/OC Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Graphic Card
fit in this case & what do you think of the case overall-
NZXT GAMMA Classic Series GAMA-001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

HELP ME OUT GUYS !!!

[Sainatarajan]

Even a HD 7870 will trash the GTX 570

[WILDLEGHORN]

Please answer all the questions in my previous post! Thanks

[1manshow]

^^Answers to your queries -

- 7950 can beat GTX 570 (unless you meant 670) hands down.

- SS-750JS is a good PSU. I'm using it's bigger brother SS-850AT and it works like a charm.

- NZXT Gamma is a great case, yet I can't confirm if that beast will fit it. Though on Gamma reviews it's said it can hold card longer than 10 inches. Still wait for expert opinions here.

Thank you so much for the answers

Sorry I made a mistake there! I meant comparison of R7950 with GTX670!! Is there huge price difference in Indian markets between those two & is the 670 worth getting only for 1080p gaming purposes at very high detail? Or is 7950 better choice??

There is not much price difference between 670 and 7950 (1K difference approx.) I think it would be better to go with 670 as it has better performance comparatively for gaming. Though if you also have other uses than gaming, you can opt for 7950 too. Both are best cards in this price range.

Yes I have no use other than gaming! No video rendering, etc....& most probably the 3 gig VRAM on 7950 would've been wasted/unused!!!

So I'm going with this factory OC'd version of MSI GTX 670 2GB card-
MSI N670GTX-PM2D2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Graphic Card

What do you guys think of that particular card above & what PSU with how much wattage would you guys recommend for my rig for OC'ing both the CPU & GPU??? Is it significantly better than R7950 or just little bit?

One more thing, I noticed that card above (and nvidia in general) reaches around 75 C (& higher while gaming for long hours)! Is such high temperatures normal/ok for such cards? Any thing I should be worried about??

Thanks, appreciate the answers

[vickybat]

^^ Gtx 670 beats the 7950 handsdown and offers much better playable framerates enabling higher ingame settings. Its almost close to a 7970. The card you're gonna buy is factory overclocked and should perform better than the reference. Grab it without second thoughts mate.

^^ This comment gave me nerdgasm while reading it

What good quality PSU would you recommend for this 670 card + i5 2500k for OC'ing on the ASRock Pro 4 Mobo??

Also I noticed the benchmarks & reviews saying this card runs above 75C all the time at full load & even higher while gaming for longer hours! Will this pose a problem for the card in the long run?

Thanks

Seven Solid GeForce GTX 670s, But Three Stand Out : Seven GeForce GTX 670 Cards, Benchmarked And Reviewed

According to that, better get the Gigabyte/Asus/Zotac card instead of MSI if possible. Though if you can't find you can go with MSI too.

For PSU, you can get Seasonic 620W. Though for 24/7 stable overclocking on both card and GPU, you can either go for Seasonic/Corsair 750W/850W model. I use 850W model from Seasonic and it runs fine, though I know it's not even taxed at all with my rig

[Tech_Wiz]

750W + for a Single GFX Config? Are you kidding me?

620W is more than Sufficient. GTX670 is not a HD6990 even then 620W is enough.

Thanks for that link, good for reference!

I think I'll go with that MSI GTX 670 Factory OC'd gfx card since that's relatively a bit cheap for my budget & is a beast gfx card as well! Only problem is it runs high on temp at full load but I'll be installing 5 case fans in the NZXT Gamma case & 2 will be blowing in air directly on top of the card so let's see

Also I'm going with the SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W PSU-
SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Not planning on SLI/Crossfire ever in the future but will OC both CPU & GPU so I hope that PSU will be good enough.

Well i just found a review regarding Seasonic ss 750js.

I think you have to buy a big case to fit this psu.

And NZXT Gamma can fit your MSI 7950.

620W is more than Sufficient. GTX670 is not a HD6990 even then 620W is enough.

+1 Totally agree.

MSI N670GTX-PM2D2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Graphic Card

And the NZXT Gamma Black Case-
NZXT GAMMA Classic Series GAMA-001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

@WILDEGHORN Are you planning to OC?

Yes, both the i5 2500k CPU & MSI Factory OC'd GTX 670 GPU...will OC both

Well GTX 670 is a great choice and requires 400w psu minimum according to this link below
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 2 GB Review | techPowerUp
So Seasonic 620 is a good choice otherwise you could go for Corsair TX650.
NZXT Gamma

Overclocking GTX 670 is not easy.

[Sainatarajan]

Then get a non oc card if you find and oc it yourself.

Well I'll never do CF/SLI so there will only be 1 gfx card in my rig! So I see no point in getting anything above SeaSonic 620, granted I will OC both the CPU & GPU on ASRock Z77 Pro4 mobo & will install total 5 case fans in the NZXT Gamma

BTW what makes you say OC'ing GTX 670 is not easy?

Then get a non oc card if you find and oc it yourself.

I can't

I'm getting everything online from theITwares.com & they have the cheapest components (I checked with my local shops). The MSI GTX 670 Factory OC'd card is the cheapest that I can afford barely in my budget from that site. Prices here locally in shops at WB are sky high & bargaining with them is pointless
