Best Mobo + RAM +Processor + GPU under 850USD (45000 INR)

[itspriyank]

Hi guys I want to build a new system which should be able to run the games which have already been released or planned to release in next 3-4 years (games like Battlefield 4 or GTA V).

Parts I already own :

2 TB Seagate HDD 7200 RPM
DVD RW LG
23" Full HD Dell Monitor (1920X1080)
Keyboard and mice


Parts I want to buy:

New Processor (Intel only)
Motherboard (pref. ASUS)
GPU (Nvidia or ATI)
RAM

Please provide me some advice for buying these new parts which remain inside my budget of USD 850 (INR 45000) and give me best possible performance.
Overcloaking is okay with me.

Do I need any extra coolers? Also which make should I get Asus (http://goo.gl/IMVt2) or Saphire (http://goo.gl/UMI1M).
Do I require more than 8 GB RAM in any case?

 

[frappes]

The ASUS one is good. 8GB is enough to have a browser open and a game running with a few GB's unused. It's enough. Most games at max, use 2GB. 16GB is unnecessary unless you're doing computational work/video editing.

By extra coolers, do you mean fans? I'd say get one or two. If you mean heatsink, then yes, if you're overclocking.

 

[itspriyank]

As far as this config is considered, I think I wont need to oc it for playing games like BF3 or skyrim at max. What you say?

But I guess I would overclock sooner or later. So I will have to get some sort of cooling system maybe liquid cooling system for my processor. Also if I oc my GPU, do you think it will require more fans than stock one's.

 

[frappes]

All you have to do is get a GPU with good fans. Can you buy an ASUS directcu ii? They have amazing cooling. I searched the website you linked, and all the GPu's have reference designs. Not the best for OC'ing. Won't have to oc to play bf3 or skyrim. Don't get liquid. The h100 by corsair is beat by the noctua d14.

 

[itspriyank]

I have that only website to buy the components and I don't seem to find the card you said. So the cards available there aren't good enough for oc'ing?

 

[frappes]

You can Oc on them, but you will not get insane oc either. This Sapphire one, though will Oc very well.

[itspriyank]

That's well above my budget.

 

[frappes]

The ASUS one will be fine for your needs.

The only extra cooler you should purchase initially is the CPU cooler. Otherwise any fans you buy won't be of use until you get your PC up and running.

On a gaming rig you won't use more than 8GB - the extra 8GB will just be sitting there.

 

[itspriyank]

So should finalize this configuration:

CPU [http://goo.gl/SaNfG ]
GPU [http://goo.gl/IMVt2 ]
RAM [ http://goo.gl/bTPb4]
MOBO [http://goo.gl/tEY8s ]

All I want is that it must give high performance. Please also suggest then extra fans or heatsink I must buy from website www.Flipkart.com.
Thanks

RAM link doesn't work.

It's high performance alright. It will max any game at 1080p. Don't worry about it.

LookS good.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news ,(i really, really do) but after checking out prices for
some of the things you want at a few different pc component suppliers in India, your
budget of <45000 INR (actually a lot closer to 800usd right now if the exchange rate
calculator on google is working right) is woefully inadequate to ensure you can buy a
combination of parts you need to run games at maximum settings with playable frame
rates on your 1080p monitor for the next 3 to 4 years. graphics card prices are the main
culprit in your country, where the cheapest 7970 with decent custom cooling is >80% of
your entire budget. you need to to do one or more of three things...

1. set your sites a little lower as far as game settings on your 1080p panel.

2. consider a different system platform (amd vs. intel) or drop to something like a
core i3 and a mobo not designed to overclock( some say i3 ok for not bottlenecking,
others say you need a core i5 quad).

3. save up quite a bit more money before you get your new system

in your original post you said you have hdd, optical, lcd and input devices and needed
cpu, mobo, gpu, and ram. in a later post you said you need a psu and possibly a hsf
to try OCing ur cpu if it is capable. you didn't mention if you have a case or need a
copy of windows 7 home premium sp1 64bit. If your old computer was a prebuilt pc
from an oem like dell, hp, gateway, etc then it shipped with an oem copy of windows
that is forever tied to your old mobo and cannot be installed on what i am guessing
will end up being a very different mobo. that is unless you own a retail copy of win 7
64bit which you can reuse on another system.

if you are using your old case, what is the form factor? will it accept
full atx size mobos (usually have 7 rear expansion slots) or micro atx(4 expansion slots)?
How wide is your case( need to know so we can suggest tower air coolers with low
enough heights above cpu that will still allow you to close the side panel on your case)?

was typing first part above and then got distracted for quite a while

looking at your current parts list, it seems as though you are well above your initial
budget of 45000 INR, and that list doesn't even include heatsink fan or power supply.
Did you come to the realization that your initial budget was too low to do what you
wanted and have since increased it?

 

[obsama1]

He's increased it probably.

 

[itspriyank]

This is what I was thinking from last two to three days. All the computer components are quite costly in India. I had been contacting many distributers directly and they have agreed to give me the componenets at much lesser price than market. But still the total exceed 45000 INR by around 12000 INR.

So what I have now thought is to delay the purchase by about 10 -15 days and save money to buy these parts.
But all that i would be able to buy is:

ASRock z77 mobo (10000)
i5 3570K (14000)
8GB RAM (3500)
GPU ASUS 7970HD (30000)

A total of 57500 INR.
And I think I don't have to overclock so soon, so I would buy cooling system later on for the processor. When I had got my first system assembled I had bought Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 separately and I do own a 550W PSU.

But I am not sure if i really do need to buy the cooling system if I don't oc?

 

[obsama1]

If you're not OC'ing stick with the cooler that comes with the CPU. If you are, get the Hyper 212 EVO.

 

[itspriyank]

If I would be able to play the games released in next year maxed out without oc'ing then I won't buy a cooler. And i when i would have saved enough bucks, I would buy one later on.
But just need that the games should run maxed without oc'ing at least for one year.

 

[obsama1]

Honestly, OC'ing doesn't help a lot in games unless your CPU is a bottleneck(the 3570K certainly is not). People just do it for fun or to squeeze all the performance they can from their PC. The i5 will max every game even without overclocked. It's not a necessity to play games.

 

[itspriyank]

Thanks for your reply. Then I am sure I won't buy a cooler and certainly won't overclock my system.
