[parthawins]

Hello friends,
i am building a new pc for gaming and media(i live in india).I need advice on my rig and tell me which graphics card to buy(either 4870 & 4890 1 gb no crossfire).
i will be playing crysis,assassins creed,far cry2,gta4 and some RTG's.fell free to share u r thoughts and say whether my mobo and graphics card can have problems with this config

My Rig:
Amd Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition
MSI 790FX-GD70(motherboard)
2x2gb DDr3 transcend ram
iball 600w psu
Ben q 20" fullhd monitor(1600x900)

Have you bought those parts?

Avoid that Iball PSU at any cost.Its not good at all.

Also consider Samsung 2033SW and LG W2043T.These monitors are also good.

You can get a HD5770 for the same price of a HD4870(Performance is also same).
HD5770 has DX11 and much lower power consumption.Costs ~10k.

What is your budget for the card?

1) Get a AMD PHENOM 11 X4 955 Black Edtion...the extra 200 Mhz won't make a big difference....

2)Please avoid the iball junk, with it u'll be pushing ur expensive hardware in a danger zone.

3) Pick up an NXZT case the start from 2k-6k (mumbai prices) or an ANTEC 300 would do good costing 4.8k or a cooler master 690 at 4.7k....pick ur choice....i bought a NZXT Lexa S case worth 5k and it's pure AWESOMENESS....

4) Pick up a Corsair TX650 W for around 6.7k (mumbai price)

5) Instead of a HD 4870 pick up a HD 5570 and instead of a hd 4890 pick upa HD 5770 ( the 5000 series are DX 11 capable cards)

6)A 785G chipset motherboard will suffice you for example Gigabyte 785GMT-UD2H (around 5-6k).

7) Avoid transcend ram sticks.....go for OCZ, G.Skill or CORSAIR, the cash is all worth it.

8)Hunt for products on www.theitwares.com.....www.theitdepot.com, anythingit.com
you'll come to know the approx prices

The Gigabyte 785GMT-UD2H can accomodate 2 graphic cards....
