Yuktah Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) I was planning to buy a new desktop in october with the release of windows 8 but my laptop died today. I am looking for a descent gaming PC keeping over-clocking in my mind even though i have never ventured into this territory. I want to have a system that can support USB 3.0, PCI 3.0, Sata 6gbps. Below is the build i have thought of. Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Pro4 Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K Ram: Corsair Vengeance 4 GB x2 1600 Mhz Hard Disk: Seagate Barracuda 500GB Sata 6gbps 16 MB cache Cabinet: Cooler Master Enforcer Mid Tower PSU:Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W PSU I made this build keeping in my mind that I will upgrade with a SSD and Graphics card in the near future. What I am not sure of is whether the components will support each other. It would be horrible if i purchase the components and find out that i can't put them together. My budget is around Rs 45,000 ( $1=Rs 55), components prices are slightly higher in Indian rupee as compared to dollars. Any suggestions to bring down the price would be greatly helpful. P.S. I already have a monitor and will purchase a UPS once i am confirmed with the build.

Black64 Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Don't see any issues with it. Looks like a solid a build. But remember without a GPU, no gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyDeath Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 And with a new GPU comes the added cost of a better PSU (for most you'll want a 600-700w PSU). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case i can go for a 600 watt PSU. Maybe Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 600W PSU. What are the best graphic cards between $50-$100? I think it can be adjusted in my current budget. Also I am thinking of CoolerMaster 431 Elite Plus cabinet instead of the one mentioned earlier. It has a front USB 3.0, hard disk docking station and a front cool blue led fan. Also it will bring down the price. Regards Yuktah Edited June 17, 2012 by Yuktah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
makarov Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 What are the best graphic cards between $50-$100? I think it can be adjusted in my current budget. Regards Yuktah A general rule of thumb to keep in mind when choosing components for a build, is to spend the same amount of money on your GPU and you do on your CPU, in order not to bottleneck the system. And besides that a $50-100 card will most likely not offer substantially better performance than the integrated graphics. my suggestion would be to either get a cheaper CPU and and slightly more expensive GPU or go with the 2500k and run of the integrated graphics until you can afford to upgrade to a gaming graphics card.
