Re: MObo for Gaming,overclocking

Nishu,
I have been working on rigging up a 'gaming machine' for myself too.
But, I am planning to go the 'Intel' way rather than the AMD config I see that you have chosen.
I have heard a lot about AMD processers, but have no clue regarding them at all.
Would have loved to help you out, and discuss things,
but so long friend....
 
Re: MObo for Gaming,overclocking

You meant Phenom II X2 550 BE right ?

Mention your budget. Otherwise there are a lot of mobos available in the market.
 
Re: MObo for Gaming,overclocking

How about going for Phenom II X4 955 BE with good gaming support and cost effective mobo + Processor ~ 18k
 
Re: MObo for Gaming,overclocking

hi presently i am looking for a mobo which is cost effective and futureproof.
my picks are asus m4a78t-e which scored better in every benchmark i have seen till now.My budget is ~16k for mobo or processor.Even other gx boards which are good in gaming and performance are also apreciated.Thanks for \the people who are replying andf sorry in replys.
 
Re: MObo for Gaming,overclocking

you should try for it:

1. Asus M3N-HT Deluxe/HDMI = $149.99 - 189.99

2. EVGA nForce 780i SLI FTW = $150.00 - 190.00

3. EVGA P55 FTW = $200~$250

Those mobos are recommended...
 
Re: MObo for Gaming,overclocking

A Phenom II X2 550BE, and a compatible Biostar mobo will just do justice to your needs. But what resolution are you going to play games at?

Is msi 790gx-g65 better for overclocking when compared to asus m4a78t-e,i dont want spend huge amount on cabinet so can anyone tell me a cabinet which has enough cooling for overclocking and with psu.Mybudget for cabinet with psu is 3k-4k.

XFX HD4890 1GB @ 11.8k

PowerColour HD5770 1GB @ 10.5k

My vote goes to HD5770.
 
+1 for the Biostar TA790GX A3+, have heard good things about it. Don't know about the a.s.s., you should check that out.

Your budget for cabinet+PSU is 3-4k?

CM 310 is good. CM build quality and design is good for the price.

I'm not very PSU aware, since you plan to run a 955+4890(?) I don't think there is a PSU that will fit in your budget and run that combo. Maybe Gigabyte 460W @ 2.2k.

PS: You might want to mention where you're from; members will be able to guide you with regards to a.s.s. and prices/availability. Also, mention your monitor and resolution.
 
Biostar TA 790 GX 128M - 5k in bangalore. Bought it last month.

In my opinion the Zebronics Bijli for 1.5k is almost the same as CM Elite.

If you want a cabinet which belongs to the next best category, go for Lancool K 56 @ 4.5k approx. It comes with cable management, bottom mounted PSU and the likes.
 
Your Choice of Asus M4a78t-e is very good.If u are looking for a gx mobo only then this is the best board with gr8 performance and price combination.It is perfect for OCing with either X2-550 or x4-955. But I think if you are building a gaming rig then your Case and PSU budget should be around 7-8K other wise the setup will be very unstable with high end components and low end case and especially PSU.Give good care in Buying a PSU cos its the base of your rig.Look for a CM Case and and a CM or Glacial Tech PSU.;)
