System upgrade to gaming pc

[sourav_1988]

i'm into gaming and right now i have Rs. 20000. the problem is how to spend these money on my desktop so that it be upgraded as a gaming pc. and well, i want to play games in ultra settings smoothly...no matter whether it's an old game or new game. i already have a desktop. the specs are listed below-

Processor:Intel E5800
RAM: 3GB (ddr2)
Motherboard: G41-M7
Present Graphics card: GT 520 (nvidia)
PSU: 300W

should i need to increase my budget??? should i wait for something new to come? or should i buy a playstation 3 instead of upgrading my desktop. thanks in advance. please suggest me.

Comes to around 21,000. Get a new mobo, CPU, and RAM when you have some more money; maybe wait for Haswell. Your current CPU will be bottlenecking you in some games with the 7850, but getting a new CPU and not GPU would mean virtually no improvement.

 

[sourav_1988]

thanks some1. well the question about bottleneck. would it be considerable? or just slight bottlenecking? and if it's not possible now should i buy a playstation 3 for gaming?

 

[sourav_1988]

and is there any pci lane issue if i buy hd 7850?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

I'm not sure how bad the bottlenecking would be, but your CPU is a 45nm wolfdale chip running at 3.2GHz, so it shouldn't be too bad. It will definitely out perform the 520 though, and when you get a better CPU it should be fine.

You could also try:

Personally I'd suggest the 2GB 7850 for now, and spend another ~Rs.15,000 on a Haswell i3, mobo, and RAM next year.

 

[sourav_1988]

ofcourse i would like to do the same as u suggested..but what m asking is are there any pci lane issue in that graphics card with my motherboard..as my motherboard is a old one..thnx in advance

 

[Someone Somewhere]

It's PCIe, and no, it will work fine. PCIe is entirely backwards compatible except for some irritating issues with PCIe 2.1 HD6xxx GPUs and PCIe1.0 mobos.

 

[sourav_1988]

good then. it's actualy pci 3.0. and my mobo is 1.0a compatible but the card m using is 2.0 compatible...that means i couldn't buy it from flipkart. because it would be riskier if it fails...but surely i give it a try from outside :..thnx again
