Mid range Gaming PC (50k), suggestions required.

^^Its 6k..

So, Following is the config that so far (somehow)fits in my budget :ashamed:. Please ignore the keyboard/mouse selection , I'll just pick up any set that feels comfy.

Is there a possibility of saving money reducing unnecessary expense and go for a better graphic card like GTX 275 @ 13.k ?

^^Its 6k..

6k !! Where? I am listin approx prices from http://www.theitwares.com.

 

[The Sorcerer]

^^ Possibility exists that prices are not updated.

 

[tarey_g]

Ya these are just approx prices to get the idea, any one knows any better offers please let me know

 

[Dark Star]

1. Processor - Perfect .. Pricing should be 7.5k

2. Board : More than decent .. Pricing should be 5.5-6k..

3. Transcend PSC is good if you want low end chips : 1.2k ?

4 . Graphics card : ATI HD4770 makes moer sense.. Lowe power consumption, 40nm runs cooler .. Price - 6.5k

5. Display | HDD = Looks ok.. Try and get the WD Black Edition if possible..

6. Samsung 22X DVD writer . . 1.2k ..

7. Stay awway from Extreme line up of cooler master .. Get Corsair VX 450 ~4k or CX 400 .. 3.2k

8. Cabinet seems to be nice but not very roomy .. Spend in Antec 300 .. ~3.4k or CM590 3.7k ..

9 . Kb/Mouse - Personal choice and preferneces..

 

[tarey_g]

^^ Thx for the detailed reply,

4. Graphics card i have chosen is the 4850 Super sonic DDR5 which performs little less than stock 4870. (Fudzilla - Gainward HD4850 GS 1024MB GDDR3 vs. HD4850 GS GLH GDDR5 refer Gainward 4850 GS GLH) .

The card has 512 ddr5(which fails to perform similar to 1GB contenders on high resolutions) and i wont be able to play above 1440x900 as that is the max res of monitor I am planning to buy.

Although 4770 is a great card but I wont like to go below the 4850 super sonic. GTX 260 and 275 OC look like great choices .

7. Will the 450W power supply do the job properly ? I was planning to get at least a 600W. I have no experiences with coolermaster or corsair PSU, so I'll go with your advice.

"Stay awway from Extreme line up.." is there some common fault with this series ?

8. Antec 300 looks simple and suitable.

4770 isnt available anywhere and not anytime soon also...
Even in newegg every brand is out of stock..
i think board partners will try to fill up demand in bigger markets like US before shipping to INDIA...
4850 gs glh is a good option provided you can find it at that price..
but Gainward is now owned by Palit.. so i guess gainward is also plagued by palit problems..
And i read that Palit is mighty pissed with Ati coz of this GS GLH model that is nearly equivalent to a 4870(Ati chided Palit for deviating from design specs) and AMD giving preference to Sapphire and HIS before Palit.
Dunno if Palit may stop selling Ati.. If so RMA will be hard...
You can go for Sapphire 4850 Vapor-X.. Goodlooking card IMO and Sapphire is getting better every day.. The new Vapor-X cards are really good... Better capacitors and chokes being used now...
Just my suggestion...
BTW dont go for CM extremepower 600w... Definitely Corsair CX 400(If you are buying 4850 and lower) and VX 450(if buying above 4850)

 

[tarey_g]

Thx , read about the CoolerMaster EP 600 , its crap. VX 450 seem to be good choice , will it be able to handle GTX 275 setup ? How is GlacialPower 650W?

 

[pavasedge]

Glacial Power 650W is very good.It will cost about 4.8k.It will handle GTX 275 easily.

 

[tarey_g]

Can someone suggest the shops in Mumbai/Pune where i can get following stuff ?

 

[tarey_g]

Checked prices in Pune , idiotically insane prices and some shop owners even don't know about the specific brands i asked for and were offering cheap(in quality) hardware for prices even more than the high quality components.

 

[The Sorcerer]

Glacial Power 650W is very good.

The AA version is good- not the A version. You are in a tech forum for crying out loud- be specific or else people will end up buying a bad product because of the advice you have given.

 

[tarey_g]

^^ thx for telling the difference, GP-AL650AA is the code btw ?

 

[The Sorcerer]

^^ thx for telling the difference, GP-AL650AA is the code btw ?

Code number? If you are referring to model number? Yes. Just to set a disclaimer the product is good and its a CWT OEM with 18AWG wiring with 80+% efficiency on around 47 degrees celcius as reported by hardware secret reviews (if you want the link, google for it- can't miss it) with 5 years warranty, How good is the warranty support in India is unknown. When I say unknown, I am not saying its a bad thing. No1 reported any issues due to manufacturing flaw so its hard to tell anything about the replacement policy. Make decisions accordingly.

 

[tarey_g]
