I already have an Alienware M15x laptop with Nvidia GTX 560m.

But now I want to build a CPU for extreme gaming? so any one can advice?

Budget is around 5,000 SR which is around (120,000 RS)

I already have a 3D Monitor (LG Cinema 3D) + Logitech 510 Gaming Keyboard & a RAT.7 Gaming Mouse so now i only want a CPU which can play games on Ultra High
settings and don't get heat up :)

Whats your budget? Do you need only the CPU or an entire system? The performance of an extreme gaming PC is directly proportional to the budget behind it. And not sure, but I dont think this is the appropriate forum for this topic, I think it should be in hardware.

You live in Saudia?. If yes then the list may vary.

Casing: Corsair Obsidian Series 800D. 20,000Rs.

PSU: Antec CP-850 850W. 10,500Rs.

Motherboard: Asus P8P67-Pro. 18,200Rs.

Processor: Intel i7-2600K. 31,000Rs.

RAM: Corsair Dominator GT 4gB (2x2gB). 5800Rs.

Hard Disk Drive: WD Caviar Black 1tB. 11,750Rs.

Review it.

Wait, youre currently in Riyadh? Dont know the market there very well. Anyway, thing to keep in mind: The beating Heart of any gaming PC is its GPU. The new HD7xxx series is due to be released in a month or so. The launch will result in the current HD6xxx deprecating in value. Of course, you can opt to buy one right now or you can wait for a bit. I would advise you to get buy a GPU worth around a third of your entire budget, and model the rest of the PC around it.
I cant provide detailed specs because I dont know the pricing in Saudia.
P.S. That build is a little over budget, scale back a bit on the casing. An i5 is usually completely adequate for gaming, you can save a bit by rolling with that instead of an i7, but you get a lot of future proofing with an i7. Not to mention bragging rights.

Intel for CPU, Nvidea or AMD for GPU, both are about par. You should try searching saudi tech magazines or forums for suggestions, since most people here have access to Pakistani pricing only.

I'd rather have 2x GTX560ti than single GTX580.

There was a new version of GTX560ti. It was 2win version I think. I dunno when its gonna release, but keep an eye on it, since it was beating GTX580 in the benchmarks easily :s

Choose a single GPU over 2way SLI, micro latency gets pretty bad. 3 or 4way SLI solves the problem, but its really expensive.

Hey brother!

I've spent quite some time in the Kingdom (and other parts of the world), and I've come to the realization that prices for gaming PC hardware are generally quite higher in Saudi than in places like Pakistan or America (maybe it's got to do with all those rich princes . If it's feasible, I'd recommend that you buy your hardware components from somewhere else.

As far as the recommendations go, I think the above are good enough. :popcorn:

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!
