12k (inr) budget? What is that?

12k (inr) budget? What is that?

I mean 12000 indian rupees..

 

[Stealth2668]

Whats that in US/Can money?

 

[Karan Luniyal]

Hmm. These things are cheaper in us so refer to sites like snapdeal,flipkart(for ex nvidia gtx 750 ti is for 150$ = 9000 rs and the same card is sold in india for 11500 rs)
Btw 12000 = 200$ approximately....

 

[Karan Luniyal]

750 or 750ti ( i m asking because the price difference is not so much..)

 

[Karan Luniyal]

and what about DDR2 RAM should i upgrade to 4gb(i have 2 slots and in one theres a 2 gb installed)

 

[mohit9206]

Yes extra 2gb ram will be good.

 

[Karan Luniyal]

thank u sir and what about gfx i think that only 1 gb version is available for 750(non ti)..
will it be enough for 1080p
and last question 750 or 750 ti...
and can u please suggest me a good cheap psu..

 

[Karan Luniyal]

and i have ddr2 2 gb already installed and one slot is free ..
so can i add ddr2 2 gb ram of another company?

 

[mohit9206]

No you cannot add 2gb of another company.It must be of the same company and also same speed and timings.
Also get the 750Ti 2gb,it will be better for 1080p gaming.
The best cheap PSu is Corsair CX430.

 

[Karan Luniyal]

ok is there any way of knowing that which ram is installed in my pc..
i am comfortable wit h opening my pc case..
and ur sure na ki 750 ti wont be bottlenecked..
and how should i know that a psu will fit in my case..
thank u

 

[Karan Luniyal]

cpu z says that i have
single channel ddr2 ram
dram freq. 403.3 mhz
size 2 gb
and much more ..is that much information is enough aur should i ask the person who assembled my computer..?

 

[Karan Luniyal]

i opened my cabinet and saw my ram is of EVM
its written evm pc 800 ram
what does that mean?
please help

 

[Karan Luniyal]

Thank u guys u realy helped me a.lot
Btw rate was pc4200....
And the final list is corsair cx 430 ,nvidia gtx 750 ti,ram 2gb...
Again thanks...

 

[Karan Luniyal]

Can u please tell me how cpu,gpu bottleneck can be reduced
I m afraid that people running 650 ti are told to get bottlenecked by e5800
So when i will pair e5400 2.7 ( i will be oc it to 3.3) with 750 ti
Will there be a bottleneck.. i will close all the programs and use razor game booster to kill even explorer.exe..
Presler is saying to buy 750 and mohit is saying to buy 750 ti
I m confused please.tell one thing

Please reply i seriously have to buy this thing in next few days thank u..

 

[Stealth2668]

If you can afford the 750Ti, go with that because it's better. I think you should be ok pairing it with your e5400 if you OC it. IF there is a bottleneck it won't be too bad.

 

[Karan Luniyal]

Thank u friend!

 

[Karan Luniyal]

Presler i just saw that 750 ti does not support SLI..
I might buy a killer pc in a year or two..
So whats about gtx 650 ti BOOST edition for my cpu..
Thank u .

 

[Karan Luniyal]

And i forgot i might sli them (2way) in future and their performance will be equal to gtx 680.. so sli works or its just a money wastage..

 

[mohit9206]

If you plan to sli in future, then get the 650ti boost and make sure motherboard supports sli. Sli i very good,better then crossfire.

 

[Karan Luniyal]

Ok And please tell me bottleneck of ti boost by my cpu..
I think presler is right and i also thought this before but all high end cards like gtx 760 ,gtx 770 are heavily bottlenecked by my cpu..
So i was left with no choice..

 

[Karan Luniyal]

Presler thank u
So what is best card i can install in my system regardless of my budget.. i m just asking..

 

[Karan Luniyal]

Ok understood thanks

 

[Karan Luniyal]

If you plan to sli in future, then get the 650ti boost and make sure motherboard supports sli. Sli i very good,better then crossfire.

ok will amd r7 260x fit in my case?
and psu corsair cx 430 compatible with my pc...
i am going tomorrow so please do reply..
