^ The build looks good, but what Power supply will you be using ? It is very important that you dont go for a low quality PSU as you will be using a discrete card like HD 5770,...

HD 5770 Manufacturers - XFX, Sapphire, MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS, Powercolor are all good and available in India, so get the one that is cheaper and has good warranty,...

 

[Amit26695]

that's what my problem is..
I have a 450W Tricom PSU0
And a new PSU of 500W will cost around 2500+which wil take me ou of budge..

 

[gkay09]

^ I am not sure how good is that PSU, never heard of it,...
I again stress the fact that for a PC with a discrete card, you should have a good quality PSU, else it would result in these -
- bad 3D performance
- crashing games
- spontaneous reset or imminent shutdown of the PC
- freezing during gameplay
- PSU overload can cause it to break down

So spending so much on other parts and skimping on the main part that drives the PC will not be a logical thing to do,...

You could do this - Drop to a single 2GB RAM stick for now, then get a GTS 450, it is also a very good graphics card, so with the money saved, get a better PSU

[Amit26695]

If it will not run may I go for a 5670 as i wil be gaming at 1024XXX OR 1280XX will i will get 25+ fps in those games..
Plz suggest a vendor

 

[gkay09]

^ Yes, for that resolution, the 5670 would be a very good option, and should offer easy 25+ FPS in nearly all the games out there,...

Any vendor that I suggested before for the 5770,...

 

[Amit26695]

and wht bout The Athlon II X3 445 N PLZ SUGGEST A MOB6

 

[Amit26695]

I mean MOBO

 

[Tamz_msc]

The motherboards that you've selected will support the Athlon II x3 445.

 

[Amit26695]

which 1 wil be better..

 

[gkay09]

^ Yes like he said, the above boards will support the X3,...
If you want to save some money, then see if you are getting ASRock or Biostar boards, they are also decent boards and should do fine for your usage,... Get either the AMD 770 or 785G or 880G chipset boards, which ever are cheaper,...

 

[Amit26695]

I just want to know bout the brand quality of MSI which sum say is vry bad..else 785GM-E65 is an awesome board

 

[Tamz_msc]

MSI is good, but I would prefer GIGABYTE, its just my opinion by the way.

 

[Amit26695]

Another vry imp q..
Which 5670 512 MB comes with a DVI to VGA Adapter coz i am using a Crt LG 700E SXGA which I think it will need one..

 

[Tamz_msc]

[gkay09]

^^ Why do you need a adapter ? I have seen many 5670s with VGA port,... So see for yourself and get one with the VGA port,...

 

[Tamz_msc]

Yeah, while buying a PC its important to have a look at what you're buying.

 

[Amit26695]

thanx
Wondering if 2GB RAM will be enough heard sum1 sum whr saying dat hardy 4GB is used

 

[Tamz_msc]

If you get 4 GB RAM with a 64 bit OS, the multitasking experience is much better.And GTA IV uses TONS of memory.

 

[gkay09]

^ +1, if you have extra cash left, then get 2x 2GB kit, will be helpful overall,...

 

[Amit26695]

Ya..ill b going for 4GB I thing Corsair wil b gud,or shall i go 4 Kingston or Trancend sry 4 asking silly questions but m vry new n really need ur help..

 

[Amit26695]

And also plz tell me dat will a Athlon II X4 make a big difference in those games

 

[Guest]

[gkay09]

Corsair is good, just get the 1 that is cheaper,...
X3 is the best option if the PC will be mainly used for gaming
