^ It is. I've spoken to somebody who had played BF3 Alpha with a 6870. While he did tell me that the game was more than playable with that card, he advised me to purchase either a 560 Ti or a 6950. My first preference was a 6870 actually. But then again, I chose that card because I had plans of...

Whoa! Massive fail there.. :) b**ch of a weekend traffic in Bangalore has really got me tired..

Some amount of AA is definitely recommended. At least 2x-4x is quite optimal. Anything above that depends on the game engine and how effective it is. As for the waiting game for the 7xxx series, rumors are it is postponed to Q1 2011. So, lets say it does release around Jan-Feb.. by the time it...

Had been to S.P road today to inquire about some components.. Got this quote from Aashirwaad: MSI Z68A G45 - 8800/- MSI P67A GD45 - 9000/- MSI 560 Ti TF II - 13000/- MSI 560 Ti Hawk - 13700/- Corsair HX650 - 4900/- Corsair HX750 - 5350- Intel 2500k - 10200/- They quoted around 3.7k for...

Even if you do unlock to 6970, you'll need adequate cooling to really get it to the speeds of 6970. Either get yourself a 570 or just a 560Ti Hawk, which more or less can be overclocked to the same performance of the 570. That is of course if you have plans of SLI'ing in the future. If not, 570...

If you're gonna run BF3, I would suggest getting a 560 Ti. Preferably 560 Ti HAWK which can be overclocked better. Costs a bit less than a 6950 too. Based on the recommended specs, the game is better optimized for nVidia cards. --- Updated Post - Automerged --- I would advise going for...

I'm surprised nobody has commented on his "future proofing his rig for 4 years" plan.. Dude, whatever components you buy, it'll get outdated in 6-8 months. Based on all the comments I've read thus far, I would suggest going the GTX 580 route. Sure 6870 x2 is better than a single 580. But, I...

^ Muchos gracias bro.. :) As long as it's less than the G55, it works out for me.

Can anyone give me price quotes for: MSI P67A G45 MSI Z68A GD55 MSI 560 Ti Hawk G.SKILL 2x4GB 1333Mhz RAM

Don't skimp on the case by going for NZXT Gamma. Get a Storm Enforcer. It's basically a cheaper HAF 912 with quite a number of improvements.

If you're aiming for high speed and performance, I would advise you get an SSD. Preferably something from the Crucial M4 range..

Hmm.. well guess I'll just wait till end of Oct. If there are no GPU's by then, I'll just get the 560 Ti and SLI in the future if need be. Thanks for the 2 cents bro :)

Hullo guys.. I need some inputs and clarification. 1) Do the next gen GPU's replace the previous gen counterparts at the same price? 2) I've been saving up for a decent rig and will be buying components Oct end. Do you advise I wait for the newer chips? p.s: If it helps, I eventually...

1) Go to your nearest cyber cafe. 2) Download uTorrent and set it open at startup (minimized). 3) Queue 3-4 big files and set download limit to 1 torrent at a time. 3) Change uTorrent icon in the system tray into some arbitrary system program icon. 4) Either setup uTorrent Remote or visit...

He will still need a new motherboard if he really wants to take advantage of newer RAM speeds, PCIe etc etc.. Besides, why upgrade to Ivy Bridge for just 20% speed increase when he can just OC the current one and upgrade when Haswell chips comes out.

If you're really going to go for a new processor, I would strongly advise a 2500k. You can easily OC it to 4.5ghz with a third party heatsink. But the con here is that you'll also need a P67 or a Z68 motherboard. Usually in the price range of >9k. If you don't plan on overclocking, you'll...

^ I think Storm Enforcer is 5500. Rest of the prices look fine to me. Edit: MSI Z68A-GD55 should be around 9800 IIRC.

1. 2. Since he's using 64 bit windows, which uses 2gigs in itself, I think it's better he go for the 8gig. 3. That actually is pretty good suggestion. He'll only be playing at around 720p and dual 6870's scale better than dual 560Ti's

I'm not familiar with noctua coolers. Personally, I was deciding between h60 and hyper 212+. Decided to just get a hyper 212+. Depends on your needs bro. If you plan on extreme overclocking, liquid cooling is a must. I doubt if I'll go above 4Ghz for the next 6-8 months. As for your query...

Since you're playing at sub-HD resolutions, a 560 Ti is ideal. You can max out most games and get 60fps. I recommend getting a MSI 560 Ti Twin Frozr II edition. 12800/- Got the price quote from aashirwaad computers couple days ago. Get an 8 gig RAM. The difference between 1333mhz and 16000mhz...
