Hello guys,

I am from INDIA. I have decided to by a new gaming PC! Need some help in choosing components!


MY CURRENT RIG:
PROCESSOR: Intel Core i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07GHz (1st gen)
MOTHERBOARD: Intel DH55TC Motherboard (LGA1156 Socket Type)
GPU: Asus GTX 550Ti 1 GB
PSU: 550W
RAM: 4 GB DDR3 1333MHZ
22 Inch FULL HD monitor

Till last year i can run all games aleast in medium settings. But now a days i cant even run anything on low settings. ex. RIVALS, COD Ghost not even load..AC4 lags too much!! So finally decided to buy a new RIG this month!

PLANNED NEW RIG:
PROCESSOR: i5 4670k or FX 8350
MOTHERBOARD: NEED HELP
GPU: GeForce GTX760 2GB (ASUS or ZOTAC?)
PSU: NEEP HELP
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB)
22 Inch FULL HD monitor


QUESTION 1: (ASUS or ZOTAC)

I will be mostly using my PC for gaming. So i decided to get "GeForce GTX760 2GB" which is available for better price than gtx 660ti in India.

Mostly i will be buying components from Flipkart.com

Price in India -
GTX 660Ti - Rs. 24910 (ASUS EDITION)
GTX 760 - Rs. 20670 (ZOTAC EDITION)
GTX 760 - Rs.21299 (ASUS EDITION)

Which one should i get ASUS or ZOTAC?

QUESTION 2: (i5 4670k or FX 8350):

I have seen a lot of questions regarding this. but i chosen FX 8350, because the future gaming will be using 8 cores i think! Watch dogs PC maximum requirement was FX 8350. So i planned to get FX 8350. WILL IT BE A BETTER CHOICE OVER i5 4670k?

Price in India -
i5 4670K - Rs.16300
FX 8350 - Rs.13700

I think 8 GB ram is enough for now. I need help in choosing good Motherboard and suitable PSU!

I have some options for motherboard too (FOR FX 8350):

1) ASRock 970 Extreme 4 Motherboard
2) ASRock 970 Extreme 3 Motherboard

Please help me in choosing GPU (ASUS or ZOTAC), MOTHERBOARD and PSU!!

for gpu definitely Asus GTX 760. For cpu i would personally go for the i5. almost no game currently can use more than 4 cores. the individual cores on the i5 are much stronger then the individual cores in the FX. only when an application can use all of those cores can the FX show an advantage over the i5. the i5 is much more efficient also

Thanks for the reply!
Will i5 be better for future games? i have seen in some posts that FX 8350 is performing good in games like bf4! which uses 8 cores. now a days games are developed for 8 cores processors. I know that i5 have stronger cores, but whether it can handle future 8 core games?

bf4 is one of the only games right now that support 8 cores. 8 cores games still not going to around very soon and the i5 will do fine. it will handle most games better than FX for a while

OK then i consider Intel now. how much power PSU is required to run? I currently have 550 watts which i bought 6 months ago. will it be enough? if possible can you suggest me a motherboard? I think you have the same configuration what i decided to buy!

. Why not go for the FX-8320 ? It's just an underclocked 8350, and you can use the savings on a better GPU (which will give much better results)

PS. what is your budget?

8GB RAM - Rs. 6175
ASRock 970 Extreme3 Motherboard - Rs. 7644
AMD FX 8350 - Rs. 13799

Then i need to buy a PSU!

and i accept with airplanegeek, i can't buy the next tier of graphics cards with such little savings

just go for a FX 8320 and save some money. for ram make sure it is 2 x 4 GB i.e. dual memory chips,
otherwise build seem fine.
For PSU go for Corshair CX 500M
