Hi Prakash,
ReplyDeleteYour old config is really out dated to play latest games.
Regarding you upgrade
CPU : Intel Core i5 2500K (Excellent choice) - But you need to check the availability in you locality, as it is a very new processor
Motherboard : ASUS P7P55 Deluxe (Wrong choice) - You cannot use this P55 board for core i5 2500k, it needs P67 or H67
You can go for ASUS P8H67-MLX or Galaxy H67
RAM : 2*2GB Corsair 1600 DDR3 (Excellent choice)
1*4GB is not recommened, but does not affect much
GPU : ASUS ENGTS450 (Good choice), but if u can increase your budget by 3500 go for GTX 460
Cooler master 500Waats is enough for ur new config.
Also u can ROCK with the new config in Games.
Thx buddy
ReplyDelete@Siddharth
ReplyDeleteHere is the config, which you asked. For such a highend PC Intel-nvidia is the best.

n Once Again thx BUDDY
@Prakash
ReplyDeleteYou new config is super.
Gtx 560 is a very new GPU, so it will cost more. Also it is just 20-25% faster than GTX 460.
If you can increase your budget go for GTX 560 ti.
Regarding power supply : ur cooler master 500 w is enough if you go for GTX 460 (min needed : 450w).
If you go for GTX 560 (min needed : 500w) ur power supply is enough, but since u r adding CoolerMaster Hyper N520 and Logisys 12"Inch duel cold cathods CCFL kit[BLUE] it is advisable to have little bit more.
If u can raise ur budget by Rs.5000 get a new power supply
Corsair 650TX or Corsair 750TX will be apt for ur new rig.
Hello Karthik,
ReplyDeleteI am Ajaiy
ajaiy@in.com
I would like to assemble a gaming pc,
the specs are
i7 2600k
And I want a 1GB graphic card for high end gaming
also I will be adding a graphic card in SLI mode in future
Can u please suggest me a good graphic card and 8GB ram and the corresponding motherboard ,and the wattage of power supply unit
Thanks in advance.. :)
Hi Ajaiy,
ReplyDeleteWhat is ur budget?
If it is around 1 Lakh, then go for
2 x GTX 460 1GB in SLI mode (Rs. 21,000)
Then 8GB for RAM is not useful for gaming PC, 4GB is enough. 8GB is needed only for high end photo editing jobs.
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD5
Power Supply : Corsair 750TX 750Waats Power Supply
Check my other blog in the below link for more details
http://ckarthik17.blogspot.com/2011/02/ultra-high-end-pc-configuration-for.html
Ajaiy:
ReplyDeleteThanks for the config,
My budget is around 70k but i would like the cost to be a little low,I want to upgrade to SLI mode in future only,Is 460 a good GPU in single mode?.
I will switch to SLI in like 8 months.
Can u please help?
Thanx
Single GTX 460 1GB is also a great GPU.
ReplyDeleteIt will cost around Rs.10,500.
But if you plan to go SLI in future, buy a motherboard that supports SLI.
Ajaiy:
ReplyDeleteThe Motherboard you suggested supports SLI right?
Am staying in Chennai,do you know any reliable place where I can get the components?
Yes the motherboard supports SLI.
ReplyDeleteThe best palce in chennai is

ReplyDeleteim looking 4 buying a gaming pc under 50000
plzz suggest me entire config with approx price .....
ps:nvidia or ati raedon graphic card preferred
@^ The specs in my post is the best as of now for around Rs.50,000.
ReplyDeleteIf u want to reduce the price go for GTS 450 graphics card and Intel Core i3-2120. These will reduce the price by another Rs 6000
Hello dude... sry to say but u wrote ur hard disk memory as 1 GB... pls try to change it.... By the where did u buy ur gtx 460 and why GALAXY
ReplyDelete@^ Thanks,updated it to 1TG. Galaxy and Msi Gtx 460 has custom cooling, so they are better.
ReplyDeleteI bought my Msi Gtx 460 at
SreeInfoTech
Ritchie Street, Chennai.
Ph : 044 42168814.
Pls say me the rate of ur purchase of Msi gtx 460 and what is the rate of the cheapest PSU which will be able to run gtx 460
ReplyDeleteMy MSi GTX 460 1GB Overclocked Version price
ReplyDeleteRs 11,000 + 400 VAT. Total Rs 11,400.
Best Cheapest PSU for GTX 460 :
Cheapest - Zebronics 500w - Rs. 2000
Better - Zebronics 600w - Rs. 3000
Best - Corsair 550Tx - Rs. 4000
Thanxx a lot bro .... But I called SreeInfotech and asked them the rate of MSI gtx 460 ...But they told it to be around 12500 ...
ReplyDeletepls help me out in this... Iam huving a dual core processor and If i buy a MSI gtx 460 .... will i be able to play high end gamzz which require a minimum of a core 2 duo processor.....
They will tell like that only, tell them that u r my friend and I refered you.
ReplyDeleteTell me what exactly ur processor number and speed.
It is not good to combine a low end processor with high end GPU like GTX 460
Pentium E5200 at 2.50 GHZ...... If its not good wat else processor can i buy and my Motherboard is ASUS P5KPL AM/PS.... and thanx a lot for ur kind help
ReplyDeleteYour Processor is O.K, but still not recommended to combine with GTX 460. (But u can do it and play games in good settings)
ReplyDeleteSuggestion 1 : Change ur mother broad, processor and RAM to Core i5 and then buy GTX 460
Suggestion 2 : Buy GTX 460 now and upgrade to Core i5 later.
Suggestion 3 : Upgrade to Core i5 now and buy GTX 460 later
Core i5 details u can get from my blog above.
How about core 2 duo processors without changing the mother board and is 2GB ram enough for gaming .......
ReplyDelete@Kartik...
ReplyDeleteHi.. iam planing 4 buying new gaming case
my budget is 13k~14k..
plz suggest me better case with big space n cooling..
Cooler Master haf x is good but need more choice
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteIf u want to change the processor alone go for Intel Core 2 Duo E8500, price will be around Rs. 8000, but not sure about the availability.
@Prakash, 13k to 14k for Case is very high, it is enough to send between 6k-7k
ReplyDeleteSome suggestions:
Cooler Master Storm Scout - Rs 6000
Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced - Rs. 5400
@Anonymous 2Gb is enough, but it would be good if u have 3GB, add 1GB
ReplyDeleteWhat r the use of Sound cards .. ???
ReplyDeleteHi karthik,
ReplyDeleteIm planning to assemble a new gaming pc (around 40k) in 2days for my brother. My config is
intel core i3 540 (LGA1156)
intel DH55TC
4GB RAM Trans
Seagate 1 TB
Dell or samsung monitor
i m very much confused on graphics card pls suggest me suitable GPU.
---------------Thanks in Advance----------------
@Anonymous, I am using Creative X-fi Xtreme Gamer sound card. It has the below advantages over normal motherboard sound card
ReplyDelete1. Pure noiseless audio quality in MP3, videos and games.
2. reproduction of very minute sounds.
3. Increased number of voices in games.(In parallel)
4. Super surround sound effect.
5. 3D sound.
All of these you can get, only if you use ur sound card with a very good 5.1 speakers.
Cheap speakers is of no use with a sound card.
Really u can experience the power of sound card with a descent speakers.
@shanmugagopi
ReplyDeleteYou can choose any one of the two
GTS 450 - Rs. 7000
GTX 460 - Rs. 11,000
One more suggestion, you have choosen LGA1156 (old model i.e first generation i3 and i5), instead go for Second Generation i3 or i5 with LGA1155 sandy bridge board.
Iam using Sony MDR ZX 300 computer headphone... Does it require a Sound card
ReplyDelete@^ It is a nice Headphone to experience the power of a Sound Card, still I recommend a descent 5.1 speakers to use a sound card.
ReplyDeleteHi Karthik,
ReplyDeleteThank u for ur suggestions. Now i made some changes on my spec.
cpu-----i3-2100-LGA1155-----6000
mobo----Asus-p8h67-m lx-----5800
ram-----trans(1333mhz)2x2gb-2300
hdd-----seagate 500gb-------1750
dvd-----samsung dvd wr------850
smps----zebronics 500w------1850
monit---del led 20"---------6850
gpu-----msi gtx460----------11400
ups-----numeric 600w--------1500
kb+m----logitech------------750
wcam----logitech------------500
TOTAL------39,550/-
I simply removed the speaker and changed the cpu to i3 from ur spec. Is this spec is ok or ive to change anything. Pls suggest any retailer coz im new to chennai. Thank u very much for ur support keep it up.
---------------Thanks in Advance----------------
@shanmugagopi
ReplyDeleteGood Configuration, But two suggestion, Go for
Zebronics 600w - Rs. 2950 (500w is enough, but to be in the safer side, since u r going to use GTX 460 and future proof)
Seagate 1TB - Rs. 2650 (You might need more space in future, if playing games)
The best palce in chennai are
1)
SreeInfoTech
Ritchie Street, Chennai.
Ph : 044 42168814.
2)
Delta Peripherals
Nakoda Plaza, No.17, Narasingapuram St., Ritchie Street, Chennai

hi karthik.. I want to purchase a gaming pc within 50K.. The thing is branded pcs are simpler to maintain since there is only one person for warranty.. Can you suggest me a good pc?
ReplyDelete@Shravan Ravi,

Dell XPS 8300 (Best)

Hey Karthik, I wanted to build a gaming PC for around Rs. 50000, and your config is spot on.
ReplyDeleteBut, I was just wondering if it would be easier to buy a XPS 8300 and upgrade the graphics card?
Also, which one do you personally think is better, the AMD rig or the Intel one?
I live near Delhi, and I don't know any place that has all the hardware. So do you, by any chance, know a good shop?
If not, is there any place where I can get it online, except ebay, of course?
@Gaurav,
ReplyDeleteCPU coolers are needed only if u r going to over clock ur CPU. Else it is not needed.

hHi karthik,
ReplyDeletei;'m ADITYA from JAMMU.
i'm really really much confused wheather to buy a laptop or to go for a desktop. well i'm only gonna use it for entertainment purposes like hard gaming, etc.my budget is 50000, deviations only till 1500-2000k. i really like laptop as it is really handy, and thats where i dont like pc's they are so big, but there pc makes me jealous as i can get better features at the same price as compared to a laptop. please please help me bro. i'v selected a laptop dell XPS 15. and about a desktop plz suggest me. thank you :)
@Aditya,
ReplyDeleteDont get confused. For PURE Entertainment and Gaming GO FOR DESKTOP.
Dont ever go for Laptop for gaming and entertainment.
Dell XPS 15 is a good laptop, but if u built the desktop rig given in my blog post, it will be 2 times faster and better at the same price.
If u r a casual gamer or never play games go for Laptop. Or else Desktop ROCKS :-)
thanx kartik....
ReplyDeletegaurav
OK THANKYOU VERY MUCH BROTHER.. :)
ReplyDeletebut ill be going for a Nvidia graphics card. tell me about it, which one 2 opt for? zotek nvidia GTX 460, i'v heard of it?
and what does this 2500k means here---> (Intel Core i5 – 2500K 3.3 GHz)....SORRY its my 1st pc & i dont know any thing about it. and now finally i hav found an EXPERT so i'm not gonna let you go. :P
i heard that i5 is having some problems from a dell employee. BUT i think i5 with a 3.3Ghz is really gonna ROCK. also what about the 2nd generation quad icore processors ? and should i install USB 3.0 and bluetooth 3.0 in it?
and one more thing there may be alot more new updates else than QUAD core prcessors etc, since february SO CAN YOU WASTE SOME OF YOUR PRECIOUS TIME FOR ME & AGAIN CUSTOMISE A DESKTOP FOR ME WITH ALL THE NEW FAST STUFF IN IT within 50000K.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS 1CE AHAIN.
@Aditya,
ReplyDelete1. Any Nvidia GTX 460 is o.k, better go for MSI or Galaxy or Zotac.
2. Intel Number their processors in increasing order, for example in Core i5 2nd generation processor
i5 2300 - 2.8 GHz
i5 2400 - 3.1 GHz
i5 2500 - 3.3 GHz
i5 2500K - 3.3 GHz and is unlocked, can be overclocked more.
3. Regarding problem with core i5 : Yes 2 months back, sandy bridge motherboards had some hardware problem. But now every thibng is fine, No need to worry.
4. Suggested Core i5 2500k is a second generation core i5 with quad core in it.
5. USB 3 is there in the suggested motherboard. Buletooth you can buy a seperate dongle for Rs. 250
6. Already the config in my post is updated with the latested hardware as of April 2011. So you can straight away go for it. :-)

ReplyDeleteRohan Here
i am goin to get a new pc around 65k.and this pc will be only for entertainment like for Hardcore games and HD video experience so can u tell me which is better CPU??
Intel i5 2500. or AMD phenom x2 6 cores....
and is ATI 6750 is better or N-vidia GTX 480???and can u tell me what is SSD drive and its necessary to buy SSD drive????
Hello mr karthick,
ReplyDeleteThis is arun and i want a best pc config for gaming around Rs 50,000.
@gaurav, give me some time, I will work on ur question and will answer shortly.
ReplyDelete@Rohan,
ReplyDeleteBest CPU : Intel Core i5 2500, even tho AMD has 6 cores, practically Core i5 is better
GTX 480 is far better than HD 6750. Also I would recommend u to go for any one of GTX 460 < GTX 560 < GTX 570.
SSD means Solid State drive, in theory they say SSD is 5 times faster than Hard Disk. But in practical test it shows SSD is only 10 - 20% faster.
With SSD you can boot faster and launch applications faster.
SSD is almost equal to 10,000 RPM Hard Disk.
If you have enough money, you can buy a SSD and HArd Disk, and use the SSD as System Partition adn Hard Disk for other files.
Or else simple go for HDD.
@arun, The config in my post is already updated with the latest hardware. Simply go for it.
ReplyDeleteHello Karthick,
ReplyDeleteCan i go for a 24"monitor and want to know the cost of ssd.Is 2 tb hard disk can be added.
If you are buying a 24' monitor, it needs a better graphics card to support the higher resolution, 20' will be nice for gaming and entertainment.
ReplyDeleteSSD are very costly :
Kingston 30 GB Rs.3600
Kingston 64 GB Rs.7900
Kingston 128 GB Rs.12500
Better dont go for SSD.
2TB Hard Disk price : Rs 4550

kartik do u kow something of openvpn
ADITYA SEHGAL said...
ReplyDeletebro now graphic card.. :(
im not getting ZOTAC GTX 460 1GB in market.. instead i found MSI GTX 460 worth rs, 10,800. but i read in some other blogs that zotac was given more rating than msi and galaxy...
@Gaurav,
ReplyDelete1) Wireless Internet connection will promise high speed upto 7 Mbps. But normally they will be very slow. Some times it will not connect at all.
2) 3G connections are now providing good speed, but that is also not guaranteed in ur area.
3) I will recommend u to go for landline connection.(Airtel preferred, if not available go for BSNL)
4) To share connection with 2 or more PCs. Buy a good wireless router. By this way you can share between ground and first floor.
Note : Dont forget to password protect ur router.
5) OpenVPN is a Virtual Private Network software. Which is used to created Private LAN kind of network thru internet. (Normally for LAn, all PCs will be in the same place, but with VPN they can be in different place connected by internet)
@ADITYA SEHGAL,
ReplyDelete1) Zotac Overclocked version is slightly better than Msi OC edition. But the difference is very less, say 2-5%. That to in High resolutions.
2) I am using Msi OC edition, it is excellent.
3) Msi coolers are better than all other cards including Zotac.
4) Dont worry go for Msi it will be very nice
ADITYA SEHGAL said. . . .
ReplyDeleteok ... BUT still im trying to find zotac.... can you tell me the exact model number of the zotac card as there are many of them on internet... i think this is the one we'r looking for.. ! (ZOTAC GeForce GTX 460 1GB 256-bit,PCI-E Exprs MODEL-[ZT-40402-10P]) here's the link to that card ----->

and if also provide full description of MSi oc card as even they have a lot of models in GEforce GTX 460 OC 1GB DDR5.

ReplyDeletethanx for replying brother:)
Sorry one more question what about their prices ? I hope it's not more than 11k. Because then it will upset the whole budget.
@Adithya,
ReplyDeleteMSi GTX 460 : Rs. 10,800 + tax
Zotac Gtx 460 : Is not available in Chennai. Price will be around Rs. 11,000
@^ Exact Zotac Amp GTX 460 1GB price : Rs. 10740 + tax
ReplyDeleteAditya said . . .
ReplyDeleteBro zotac gtx 550 ti is cheaper than gtx 460 amp.
But gtx 550ti has bigger memory and clock memory also.
@Aditya, But GTX 460 is faster than GTX 550ti. Because GTX 550ti has 192 cores while GTX 460 has 336 cores.
ReplyDeleteHI ,
ReplyDeletei am looking to purchase a good gaming laptop to experience most fps games from 2011 up to 2014 when i plan to purchase a better desktop.For now i wanna spend not more than 50k rupees on a laptop for work/games.Can you suggest a good rig.
I dont want to purchase a laptop with a processor whose speed is below 3Ghz,kindly direct me to a company other than dell or alienware.I am looking for the best bang for my buck instead of a good brand name

Hi ,
ReplyDeletei am going to upgrade my pc
1. graphic card
2. cabinet
3. adding 4 gb ram
(already have 4 gb ocz DDR2 pc2-6400 Titanium CL4)
For graphic card..i was thinking of buying ATI 6970..or is there anything better in the range ?
could plz suggest me which model(company) i should go for ?
For cabinet ... i need one which could fit my card, have a buget of 6000 for the case.
which one should i go for ?
For ram..can i add ddr2 ram with higher speed than the one i have ? (MB-gigabyte EP45-ud3l)
which one should i go for ?
Thank you
@Vineeth,
ReplyDelete1) Graphics card : go for
ATI 6970 : If u play at High Resolutions > (2560x)
Price : Rs. 20,000
Company to go : XFX, Asus
GTX 570 : If u play at Lower Resolutions < (2560x)
Price : Rs. 19,500
Company to go : MSi, Galaxy, Asus, Zotac
Make sure u have 600w power supply (550w min)
2) Cabinet
Cooler Master Chassis Scout - Rs. 6000
Cooler Master HAF912 - Rs. 5800
Antec Six Hundred - Rs. 4800
3)If u add Ram with higher clock speed than the one u have now, then both will operate in the lower speed. So better go for the same speed as u have now.
Transcend and Kingston are fine
thanks Karthik for ur quick response...
ReplyDeleteSo ur saying that gtx570 is better performer in lower resoluiton than 6970...i mostly play at 1920
So which card would be future proof(currently using ati 4870 1gb)
will the cabinet metioned fit the ati 6970 ?
will go for the ram of the same speed .
Thank you.
@Vineeth
ReplyDelete1) Go for any of GTX 570 or ATI 6970 (personal choice), both are good
2) Yes the cabinet will support both cards

thanks karthik ...i bought a asus 6970 direct CU2,
ReplyDeleteHAF 912 and ocz ram.
thanks again for ur help
Hi Karthik ,
ReplyDeletehave a problem..
the Asus 6970 direct CU2 G-card requires two 8 pin pci express power supply while my 600 w cooler master has two 6 pin adapter.
is there any way to connect 8 pins to 6 pin ?
also on the G-card box they say it requires 700W
power supply. So will my current Power supply work ? or do i need to buy a new one ?
@^ Vineeth, the min power supply required for ur graphics card is 550w
ReplyDeleteCheck this : http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/amd-radeon-hd-6000/hd-6970/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-6970-overview.aspx#3
You need 6-pin to 8-pin converter, normally that might come with ur Graphics Card.
What is the exact power supply u have?(Model)
If u dont have one, no problem u can get two 6 pin to 8 pin Power Adapter Cable. (The shop keeper might have told u while purchasing, isnt?)
@Gaurav,
ReplyDeleteHope this helps (Might slightly vary in Windows 7)
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-vista/Connect-two-computers-using-a-crossover-cable
@Vineeth, if u have Cooler Master extreme power 600w, u already have 2 8-pin adapter, check this
ReplyDelete(pci 6+2pin x2)
http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=5906
na checked ...it has 6 x 2 pins *extreme power duo 600 w
ReplyDeletehttp://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=51
which power supply should i go for and also the 4 gb ram i got from ocz is has different class timing than the one i had .
ReplyDelete(Titanium series 4-4-4@2.2v old) (gold series 5-5-5@1.8v new)
should i replace it ?
@Vineeth,
ReplyDelete1) U dont need a new power supply, just buy two 6-pin to 8-pin converter.
2) Ram timing u can mix, shouldn't be a problem. But to make sure it works, test with the win 7 memtest in the boot screen. Or use the memtest software
http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
@ Here is the image of the converter
ReplyDeletehttp://techreport.com/r.x/psus-0907/pcie-connectors.jpg
the card came with one 6 x 2 pin to 8x 1 pin adapter...so should i connect both of my 6 pin to the single 6 to 8 pin adapter which came with the card ?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.hardocp.com/image.html?image=MTI5ODg0MjI2NmlHWXltbkpaNWVfMV8yMF9sLmpwZw==
or do i need two of those ?
ReplyDelete@Vineeth,
ReplyDelete1) Ur HD 6970 needs two 8-pin PCI-Ex power cable. (they have given 2 8-pin input to make sure it gets enough power while overclocking and using it in very high resolutions.)
2) Ur Power supply have two 6-pin connector
3) connect the 6 pin x 2 to 8x 1 pin adapter (Which u mentioned) into the graphics card's first 8-pin power input.
5)start the machine and play some games. If is work without any problem continue using it.
6) If it restarts without proper power, buy two 6-pin to 8-pin converter and connect them in the two 8-pin inputs.
PIC : http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/public/PlIkXKsVQgoNKCCHTB2cOgEKjLcreXC0mhE2UxtzzAFzQcamSC5bp0EV0znX699hR7ls63W_rhDCdWDcrrKDVyUEamCiSPYvhExdjOtv01wpxCqeUmWHfJIvn6arfnt__b2KQCetAtmPYErYjKm0
@^, It should work with just one 8-pin, also without power if ur pc restarts no problem, it wont affect any thing
ReplyDeletehi..i tried with the one 8 pin as you said ..it didnt work...will buy an extra 6 pin to 8 pin adapter.
ReplyDeletealso does the card requirement include any certain Mother board ? (GA-EP45-UD3L)
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2952#ov
the above MB is wat i am using.
ReplyDelete@vineeth, it is not mother board dependent.
ReplyDeleteIt needs only a 1 x PCI Express x16 slot.
Let me know, after installing it.

hi..am planning to buy a gaming pc ....which graphics card will be better gtx 460 or hd 6850 ?? and suggest a config along with this gpu which will be around 32000...plzz reply..need some expert advice....
ReplyDelete@gaurav,
ReplyDeleteNormally branded PC's are assembled in a different way, always it is not possible to upgrade it.
So before u plan to upgrade, call the HP helpdesk or a technician and confirm, whether u can upgrade it.
If so, go for the below config
Processor - Intel Core i3 – 2100 3.1 GHz Rs. 5800
Motherboard - Intel DH61WW Rs.3200
Memory - Transcend 2x2 GB DDR3 1333 MHz Rs.1850
IMP : Lot of things need to be considered, before upgrading, is ur power suplly enough, is it compatible etc. So Check with the technician abt upgrade with this config
@Biswajit, Both are almost equal it is personal choice, I prefer GTX 460.
ReplyDeleteAlso 32000 is too les for gaming PC, u can check this

MONITER- Samsung LED 22inch
my budget is around 60000 rs
Thanks
@Nirav, Good, but I have the below sugggestions
ReplyDelete1) Go for i5 2500 instead of i5 2500k, if u r not planning to overclock.
2) Try to get Asus or Gigabyte motherboard, as they give additional feature like UEFI (Better than traditional BIOS) and other cool features. (But all comes at a price)
3) Dont go for 1600Mz ram, as ur Processor and Motherboard only supports 1333Mz speed, even if u plug a 1600 Mz ram it will work in 1333Mz.
Dont forget to get a good UPS.
Other than these others looks great
CAN YOU SUGGEST ME SOME ASUS OR GIGABYTE MOTHERBOARD(WITH PRICES) AND WILL THE CPU AND MOBO OF DIFFERENT COMPANYS GIVE EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE??
ReplyDelete@Nirav, Intel CPU works best with other company boards like Asus and Gigabyte, than Intel board.
ReplyDeleteGigabyte H67N-USB3-B3 - Rs 6,500

@nirav,
ReplyDeleteH67 has on-board graphics support.
P67 does not have one, u need a dedicated graphics card.
Better go for H67, even if u plan to buy a grahics card. (because if ur graphics card is not working for some reason, still u can use the on-board graphics.)

@Snehan,
ReplyDeleteUse the below config
http://ckarthik17.blogspot.com/2011/06/best-amd-gaming-configuration-for.html
@pradyumna@bangalore ,
ReplyDeleteThe config in this post is the best config for games in 50k range.
U can play Witcher 2 and BF3 in this config at medium to high graphics.
@gaurav , Sorry for the delay.
ReplyDelete1) Motherboard : Asus P8H67-M-LE with USB 3.0 is the best Rs. 6500
2) Power Supply go for : Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 600W Rs.3500
Total will come near 35k
3) U cannot SLI different cards(9400GT and GTX 560)
4) RAMs are very cheap now, 4GB - Rs. 1500
5) You dont need a separate Cooler, until u overclock ur components. A good Cabinet is enough.
SORRY GUYS, MY INTERNET WAS NOT WORKING. SO COULDNT COMMENT IMMEDIATELY
ReplyDeleteHey kartik thanx , me gaurav
ReplyDeletebut i hav some more q the motherboard u suggested doesnot hav sli support and u hav also said that p67 board doesnot hav onboard graphics.. but i hav heard that p67 is best for gaming.. kartik bro plzz help and or i hav to with h67 or latest z68 board chipset.. plzz help me.. yaar me aapko bohot pareshaan kar raha hu sorry.. and u hav seen my whole config ... now is my config is able to play latest game... and ha i5 2500 vs i5 2500k
@Gaurav,
ReplyDelete1) SLi is not needed for PC around 50k. (I recommend SLI only for PCs above 1Lakh)
2)P67 is slightly better for gaming PCs(overclock), but in case ur graphics card is not working, u cannot use ur PC at all.
IF u have H67, u can still use ur pc with onboard graphics.
3)z68 is similar to h67 but with overclocking option.(Dont go for this, unless u overclock)
4) i5 2500k is similar to i5 2500, but it supports overclocking. (Personally I recommend not to overclock and go for i5 2500)
Finally with ur latest config, u can play all latest games in high specs in a 20'-22' monitor
Hey C. Karthik
ReplyDeleteI would like to know a few things ....
1) What are the advantages of the deluxe edition of Asus p8p67 over other editions. Would you recommend it to a gamer like me ?
2) With an Intel i-5 2500k processor,what would be a good graphic card within the 12000-15000 rupee bracket. Also, which would be better between Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 ti and AMD-ATI Radeon HD 6870/6950.
Also could you recommend a good PSU and Chassis for the above Motherboard/Processor/GPU combo or will the ones listed in your config make do.
Would be very much obliged if you could mail me at animeshsingh96@gmail.com
Thanking You

@Anonymous,
ReplyDelete1) Deluxe motherboard has 3 Pci-x slots for muti-gpu support.I dont recommend these motherboard, unless u are going to SLi or CrossFire. Better go for normal motherboards with single pci-x16
2) GeForce GTX 560 Ti is the best option for that price, dont buy noraml GTX 560 with out the 'Ti' suffix.
3) All others u can go for the parts in the blog itself.
Sorry for the delay
@himanshu harbola,
ReplyDeleteBest Gaming PC config is not possible for Rs.30k - 35k. You can play games in low to medium specs with these config

ReplyDeleteTHANKS IN ADVANCE
@Animesh,
ReplyDeleteAMD Radeon HD 6950 is slightly costlier (Rs.15,000) and better the GTX 560 Ti (Rs.14,000).
Both of them are almost equal, its ur personal choice.
1) If u go for 6950 just go for the 1GB version
2) If u go for GTX 560 Ti, dont go for the GTX 560 without the Ti suffix, it is just a overclocked GTX 460.
I personally will go for GTX 560 Ti, because of Nvidia's extras like CUDA, Physx
@Anonymous,

Intel Core i5 2500 - Rs. 10,500
