  • Q: What is your budget?
    • 15K
  • Q: What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)
    • CPU - Intel E6750
    • Motherboard - Some asrock cheapo
    • GPU - 8800gt
    • RAM - DDR 2-3gb(looks thats dying.Getting BSOD frequently)
    • Monitor - samsung 17 incher
    • SMPS - Corsair VX550
    • (please mention the rest in above format)
  • Q: Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)

Changing only the 3 components presently and next step would be gfx but not presently

  • Q: Which hardware component are you looking to buy (component name). If you have already decided on a configuration then please mention the (component brand and model) as well, this will help us in fine tuning your requirement.

As my ram looks to be dying ill go for ddr 3 but for that changing cpu and mobo becomes must.I wanted high end system but the oldie i5 generation are being quoted at 9-11k.And i am not ready to shelve more than 7k on a cpu .

So looking for a setup which can last untill ivy bridge or next generation amd launches.

AMd or intel any combo will do.But performance for time being should be faster than e6750 by 25%.

Mobo must have 4 slots for ram,one pci-e slot and more than 4 sata ports.

Ram please suggest which works with the model so no conflict arises.
  • Q: Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component

Upgrading gpu and monitor later and by 2013 end new high end setup(almost 30k budget) only for cpu and mobo.

Intel i3 2100-6.2k

Intel DH67BL-B3-5.6k OR DH61WW-3.5k

Gskill ripjaws 2X2gb 1333mhz-1.5k or Corsair Xms3 2X2gb 1333mhz-1.4k

Sapphire HD5670 512mb ddr5-4.3k or HD6670-5.2k[this will be good enough for your reso]

You won't be able to oc this rig but it'll be good enough for your work.

Hope this helps.

Hmm.Gigabyte mobo option.Also any amd alternative.

Also planning for 2 4 gb memory stick.

Graphic card will remain the same for time being.Not changing that.
 
Intel i3 2100-6.2k[This will perform better than amd X4 and will consume less power,future ivy bridge upgrate will be possible with this]

Intel DH67BL-B3-5.6k[intel H67 board offers 2 Sata 6.0 Gb/s ports and 3 sata 3.0Gb/s ports,2 usb 3 & 14 usb 2 ports]

Gskill ripjaws 2X4gb 1333mhz-3.5k or Corsair Xms3 2X4gb 1333mhz-3.4k

If you still want a gigabyte mobo then-http://www.primeabgb.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=4693&category_id=101&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53

Just saw gigabyte mobo have just 2 ram slots.

So again intel comes into picture.

Are there any amd combo around the same price range which almost offer same performance as this i3 in phenom x6 one?

Also will this same mobo work with ivy bridge?If so than what about OC picture still this mobo will be term a bottleneck?

I guess the amd have inbuild gpu on its die which performs better.Also will this same mobo work with ivy bridge?If so than what about OC picture still this mobo will be term a bottleneck?

I most possibly will cancel this upgrade.As now ivy bridge looks to be round the corner.

But still suppose i go for upgrade and suppose i go for i5 2500 than how much increase in performance ill see over i3 2100?

I guess in some benchmark i saw almost 50% increase in performance.

I am just delaying upgrade.But if BSOD problem continues than ill have to go with this upgrade on urgent base and than will miss ivy bridge all together as i go for alternate platform upgrade.

Last year i was almost certain to go for amd bulldozer but it failed badly and i delayed the upgrade till ivy bridge.
