Is this a gaming build?

 

[Tikli]

Uh.. yes

 

[tiny voices]

You want to get an i3 and a cheaper MOBO. This will open up the budget for a better GPU. What is your total budget?

 

[Outlander_04]

Uh.. yes

Unless you have a very low resolution monitor is a poor use of any money as a gamer

Spend way more on the graphics card and way less on the processor

 

[Tikli]

Around Rs. 40,000 ($ 700)

 

[Tikli]

My monitor is a 17" LCD display with resolution of 1280 by 720

 

[tiny voices]

Look into an i3 3220 and a b75 motherboard. This will leave you open for an HD7850 or a gtx660.

 

[Tikli]

but isn't quad-core i5 better? it would work faster, right?

 

[tiny voices]

For gaming its about 90% GPU and 10% CPU. An i3 and a 7870 will be better than an i5 and a 7770 all day.

 

[tiny voices]

I have an i3 and a 7870 and I can max most games.

 

[Tikli]

ok, along with the i3 and 7870, what else?

 

[tiny voices]

Get a PSU from Antec, Corsair, XFX, Seasonic. 600w will be plenty enough. 500w will work too.

Get a 7200rpm harddrive.

Get 8gb of dual channel RAM. 1600mhz

 

[Tikli]

ok, but are you sure about the i3? my friend used i3 first and then upgraded to i5, said it's a lot better.

 

[Tikli]

even on Tom's Hardware's gpu hierarchy chart, the i5 tops the i3

 

[Tikli]

i mean cpu hierarchy chart

 

[tiny voices]

Think about it this way. I get max settings on skyrim. If i had an i5 and a 7770 I would get medium settings at best.

 

[Tikli]

alright, then the 7870 or the 660 Ti

 

[Tavo_Nova]

well iit's a given the i5 is better,

there was a vid on ncix on youtube about some npc who opens the door on a mission on bf3 doesn't appear ^_^.

it's ok to get a i5 then a 7770 with a z77 mobo and just buy a better gpu in the next payday. or the following month

and this is your monitor if I read it right

My monitor is a 17" LCD display with resolution of 1280 by 720

so even a 7770 is good enough for that, then upgrade gpu then monitor, voila a nice rig.

 

[tiny voices]

the 660ti will be better. On your budget you will be probably looking at a 7850 or 660 non ti. The 660 is the better of the 2 cards.

 

[Tikli]

good lord, stop confusing me, just tell the right combo

 

[tiny voices]

What games do you plan to play?

 

[Tikli]

GTA V, BF3, CODBO 2, Assassin's Creed 3 and maybe Crysis 3

 

[tiny voices]

Personally I would get an i3 3220 and the best GPU you can afford.

Because you play battlefield, you will see a bit of improvement with an i5 that you won't see in other games.

Its up to you. An i5 with 7770. (better for BF3 multiplayer with medium graphics settings) or an i3 with 7850. (higher graphics settings in pretty much every game)

 

[kassuba39]

If you want a good mobo to pair up with your i3 the Asrock Z75 Pro3 is a solid board. I have on myself and have had no problems with it.
