Help me 2 build a gaming PC for long-term using. :)

Hi, I'm new in this forum. I'm from Bangladesh.

In here some hardwares are totally unavailable. And some are much more pricey than its rivals.

Our currency is Taka (Tk) and 1 USD = Apx. 70 TK.

OK, I'm gonna upgrade my Pentium D PC next week. And I need advice. The rig's gonna be something like this -


CPU: Intel Core i5 750 = Apx. 15,500tk

Mobo: ASUS P7P55D = 14,500tk (Only available P55 mobo )

RAM: Apacer/Transcend 2 x 2GB DDR3 1333 = 2 x 3700tk = 7,400tk

GPU: XFX NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 896MB DDR3 Standard (GX-275X-ADFC) = 22,500tk
(I prefer NVIDIA, but SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4890 1GB DDR5 OC @ 20,500tk available )

PSU: ASUS 650W U-65GA = 8,500tk (ThermalTake TR2 420W @ 4200tk available but don't know can it handle this PC perfectly or not. ThermalTake TR2 550W @ 6,800tk also available. )

DVD-RW: LiteON 24x = 2,200tk (Blue-Ray Disk Drives are too pricey )

Monitor: SAMSUNG 16" LCD Widescreen = 7,000tk (Max. Resolution 1024x768)
[Plz don't suggest me to buy a bigger one, bcoz I won't upgrade my PC for a long time]

HDD: SAMSUNG SATA 1TB = 6,800tk

I will upgrade next time my PC in 2012-2013.

I will game (Specially FPS and Sandbox) and my father will set a home MySQL server in this PC.

I may overclock (not too much) my CPU/GPU but won't add any extra coolers/fans.

i agree with Stumpy. the 16" monitor seems like a crazy purchase.

you are going to use the monitor more than any other individual component of the PC. dont skimp on it. for the hardware you have listed you would be wasted on such a device.

A GTX 275 can handle high settings of about any game at 1920x1200, which is 3 times the pixels of a 1024x768. It would be massive overkill on graphics power on that small screen. A 20 to 22 inch widescreen 1380x1050 monitor would be an economical choice for gaming.

If you want it to last a long time, you might check if the ATI 5850 or 5770 are available for you. They are the first DX11 cards and in a couple years that will probably be a significant capability to have. The 5850 is more powerful than a GTX275 or 4890. The 5770 is a less powerful, really a bit weaker than a 4870 or GTX260, but still capable of max settings in almost any game at 1380x1050.
