1st Time Budget Gaming Build

Last response: in Systems
Share

Hi everyone! Compared to what i knew about a pc before i've learned a lot by reading the threads on TH. So i decided to build one myself. Looking forward to your suggestions on the build.

Approximate Purchase Date: 2 or 3 weeks

Budget Range: 650 $/ 35000 rs

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, ms word, browsing, movies

Parts Not Required: none

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: flipkart.com

Country: India

Parts Preferences: intel cpu & amd gpu

Overclocking: no

SLI or Crossfire: no

Monitor Resolution: 1366x768 or 1440x900

Additional Comments: Efficiency and low heat are important for me.

These are the parts that i came up with. Feel free to make any suggestions you think will improve the build. Most likely to buy from a local retail store. I'm already pushing my budget so maybe you could suggest parts that are similarly or lower priced to the ones i chose. Thank you

Motherboard: Asus p8b75 m lx

RAM: 2*2gb 1600 mhz. I'm not sure whether to get 4 gb of fast RAM like vengeance/ripjaws or 8 gb of normal RAM. Also i saw this Kingston RAM with CL5 (i think) on the website. Is it compatible with my build?

for a monitor get a IPS monitor, can get them cheap now



thanks for the reply bro! :) 
but IPS panels are not available on monitors with resolution less than 1920 x 1080..and i won't be able to get good fps on recent games with the hd 7750 at 1920 x 1080..which is why i decided to go with a smaller monitor.

I'd go with the CX430, as its cheaper and will run the 7750.


CX 430 was my choice too..the CX 430 has a single 12V power rail and the VP 450 has 2 x 12V power rail..could you tell me the difference..which one is better? thank you the reply bro!

Best solution

i think what you can do is get a cheaper cpu than the i3-3220 like a pentium G630 which is only rs.3300 and instead of 7750 you will then be able to afford a 7850 which will let you play games at much higher settings and resolution. and dont worry the pentium will not bottleneck the 7850

Deemo13 said:
The 12V power is split between these two rails. One of the rails supplies the power to the GPU, and one supplies it to other places. I don't know exactly how it works, but as long as it works, that's all that really matters.


k..thanks a lot!

Hey bro! Maybe i'll go with a g860 or g2120. I don't really need hyper threading. I see that you own a g630 + 7750 setup. What is your gaming experience with that setup and what resolution monitor do you use for gaming?

thats a pretty good build . where did you get the 6770 for such cheap ? is it used ?
also maybe you could have gone for a 1080p or atleast a 1600*900 monitor

The 6670 is available here
http://www.flipkart.com/search-computercomponents?query...

Is'nt it better to play games at the native resolution of the monitor? I could'nt find a 1440*900 monitor on the website but i maybe able to get one from a local retail store. Does the g630 support 1333mhz RAM?
