Hi guys!
This is my first post at Tom's.
I am gonna buy a new system soon(most probably by the end of May). Basically I am gonna use it for gaming at 1280x1024. I know my resolution is relatively crappy but I like the details etc. at the highest. Other than that my dad is going to use this for running MATLAB, Basic ANSYS, Basic COMSOL, Mathematica + I am going to learn 3DS Max, Photoshop, Inkscape etc.
My current build is a Pentium 4 with 1 gig of Memory, A GeForce MX4000 from prehistoric times and an ASUS P4S800-DX
Approximate Purchase Date: Last week of May
Budget Range: $ 770/ PKR 70000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Basic MATLAB, Basic Mathematica, ANSYS, 3DS Max, Maya, Photoshop, Inkscape and the like
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: galaxy.pk, czone.com.pk
Country: Pakistan
Parts Preferences: nVidia GPU - Intel Proc -ASUS Mobo
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1280x1024
Additional Comments:
Look, I am still stuck whether I should buy a Graphics Card now or skip it and buy a HAF 912 with a CoolerMaster M600 Silent Pro PSU instead of a CM Elite 371 with eXtreme Power Plus 550W
I have heard that the GPGPU performance of the Kepler architecture is completely crippled. Since I am going to utilize CUDA for GPGPU in Matlab using Jacket, should I wait for the Kepler series to come out or should i be content with a GTX 550Ti (that's the max i can afford). I can't buy AMD/ATi 'cause my Dad will be needing the extra performance that CUDA offers.
The Parts I have selected are:-
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz K edition Unlocked: PKR 20000

ASUS P8Z77-V LE: PKR 13000 (Expected Price)

CoolerMaster® V6GT™ CPU Cooler PKR 4800

Subtotal - 5000 for my old PC = PKR 69640
Thanks in Advance for helping!
