Do i need better pc for gaming?

Aayanking123 · Jun 6, 2014

I have
Intel i5 2310 2.8 ghz turbo to 3.2
8gb ddr3 ram
HSI Radeon 7850 2 gb
PSU 450-500 W
Hardsisk 320 gb

Do i really need i 7?
And if yes state a nice i7 both good in performance and well affordable////

And what about the g card is it able to handle nice game?

no an i5 will do for gaming.
Are you not happy with your pc gaming performance?
Consider upgrade the power supply if you want a stronger gpu.

If you have a good PSU then you could overclock that HD 7850. I run mine at 1200MHz core and 1500MHz VRAM when I need the extra GPU power. AMD left a ton of headroom on the table with that particular GPU model.

I had 7870, and I loved it, tried to crossfire and didn't work for crap. But I loved my 7870. Played pretty much every game at high just perfect. Then I needed cuda support for programs, got a 770. Couldn't be happier with the 770 don't get me wrong. But having the 7870 it could overclock awesome, and it was just a great card, and for spending another $400, I feel I didn't get my moneys worth from the 'upgrade'. Your ship should be totally fine. Wait til either Maxwell or hawiaii cards or something worth the upgrade.

AM i having a so called bottleneck or what???

Suztera · Jun 7, 2014

No. Your cpu is currently ok for a HD 7850. You are able to use the max potential of the gpu without causing the cpu to struggle.

Turn down the anti-aliasing

Psu i think was 400-500 but there is no sticker on it

chimera201 · Jun 8, 2014

Well if there is no sticker on the PSU, the right place for it is the trash-bin
Get a decent PSU

Aayanking123 · Jun 8, 2014

Question is will it fix the problem?

chimera201 · Jun 8, 2014

How much did the PSU cost?

Aayanking123 · Jun 8, 2014

Well i am in Pakistan so...
It cost me 1000 rupees
Something like 10 $
But you guyz would have more prices like 28$
Cuz i saw a modem of 88$ on neww egg
But it cost 3390 rupees on a local pakistani site

Aayanking123 · Jun 8, 2014

chimera201 · Jun 9, 2014

Aayanking123 · Jun 9, 2014

So?
How much watt i need
Cuz the box of 7850 says 500 wart recommended

chimera201 · Jun 9, 2014

Aayanking123 :

Just give links to online sites and specify budget.
Or list PSUs that are available with model no.s

mohit9206 · Jun 13, 2014

Your power supply is not able to provide sufficient power to your graphics card hence the performance drops.Get something like Corsair cx430 or antec vp450 and you will get huge performance increase.

mohit9206 :

How much of watt i need?
I heard a hd7850 consumes only 135 watts,,,,

Can a better psu give me more overclocking capabilities?

chimera201 · Jun 17, 2014

What you need is a quality PSU. PSU manufacturers lie about the labeled wattage. You did not answer my previous question

Do i need better pc for gaming?
