[NBA] Gaming Rig in 40K.... !

[fahad1512]

Hi guys, Need your advice on buying a gaming rig... I have budget of around 40K, is it possible to make a nice gaming rig in this budget??? not talking about extreme/ultra gaming but it should run the latest games in medium-high settings...and it should be upgradable so that when I have the cash I could easily upgrade it too..... Your advice would be much appreciated!..

List the components you need and the ones you don't.

- What's your monitor's native resolution?
- On which resolution you plan to game at?

I'll most probably game on a 22inch Lcd.... The LCD has a separate budget.... Apart from that I would need everything else required for a pc.

Please refer to this thread:

Just pick the motherboard, RAM and Power Supply from budget segment, and everything else from mainstream.

Edit:
Because the HDD section remain unchanged from previous guide, might as well consider this instead of Barracuda.

And what about other accessories like chasis and LCD etc etc

I think u should increase ur budget slightly if u want to buy a pc which is capable of futurre upgrade

How much would I have to increase my budget?....I have separate budget for Lcd.

there are many decent casing available in 3-5k u can check on galaxy and czone site as well as most favourite iamextreme of ur city
If u have no limitation on lcd budget than go for some 24inch like dell st2420l
Small accessories like keyboard mouse will cost around 1.5-2k
and The most expensive thing as compared to its actual value is HDD u can buy used from pg members
SO TOtal INCREASE WOULD BE AROUND 10k excluding LCD

I WOULD SUGGEST BUY SOME USED PC FROM PG MARKET PLACE . MANY GOOD OFFERS ARE ALWAYS THERE

my suggestion for a budget build:

mobo asrock h61hvgs......5500 iamextreme.com
pro intel g620..................5900
ram 4 gb ddr 3................2100
hd maxtor 250 gb............3800 sata 2...Online Shopping Pakistan - Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Islamabad, Huge stock of Laptops,
dvd rw samsung..............1750 iamextreme.com
casing............................3500 czone.com.pk.thermaltake ms 1 commander (you can also choose bit fenix alpha, or other casecom cases in budget)
ps 450w thermaltake.......3600 czone.com.pk
gpu 6790 his..................14500 galaxy.com.pk

total..........40650


the intel g620 is a very capable sandybridge gaming cpu and will give you playable framerates in many current games...for more info read the review below:

Intel Pentium G850, Pentium G840 and Pentium G620 Review. Page 4 - X-bit labs
..............................................
the asrock h61hvgs mobo will support upcoming ivybridge processors so future upgrade option is there

 

[fahad1512]

^interesting , u almost made it within the budget.. ... thanks dude... never heard of pro intel g620 but anyways it gives me an option...

UPDATE: (didnt know that your budget was that tight...but here you go...with in budget) (bow)

my suggestion for a budget build:

mobo asrock h61hvgs......5500 iamextreme.com
pro intel g620..................5900
ram 4 gb ddr 3................1950 (gskill one stick instead of 2,,,from iamextreme)
hd maxtor 250 gb............3800 sata 2...Online Shopping Pakistan - Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Islamabad, Huge stock of Laptops,
dvd rw samsung..............1750 iamextreme.com
casing............................3000 instead of czone.com.pk. buy the same thing from media interntional, my friend just bought it cheaper a couple of days ago
ps 450w thermaltake.......3600 czone.com.pk
gpu 6790 his..................14500 galaxy.com.pk (want to save more money go for less powerful you can easily go for other cards as well)

total..........40000

(you can get the above a little cheaper if you bargain a bit as usual....also buy any dany or other chinese casing and save more money,,,i just suggested th ms 1 cause its upgradeable easily and looks good)

by the way the intel g620 is no slouch when it comes to gaming, here are some videos to prove it:

Call of Duty MW3 on Intel G620 + Radeon 6670 - YouTube
Crysis 2 on Intel Pentium G620 and Nvidia GT545 - YouTube
Dirt 3 on HD 6750 & Intel Pentium G620 MAXED OUT [Gameplay] - YouTube

What resolution you plan to play games on?
If its 1680x1050, then you should get a 6750 or even 6670.
That should leave you with some spare cash for i3

 

[sohaib50k]

Try to get some lil used components from the PG market,they would save u some money and at the same time provide better performance.

 

[funky]

dont go for g620 , atleast i3 - 2100 or g850

 

[silverknife]

Yeah.. G620 wont be a good idea. atleast go for core i3 2100

 

[jack]

funky.....dont go for g620 , atleast i3 - 2100 or g850
...................................................
is the intel pro g850 available in pakistan,,,if so then can you pls tell me from which shop????

[iameXtreme]

ASRock H61-HVGS - Rs. 5500
Intel Core i3 2100 - Rs. 10800
Sparkle GTX 550Ti - Rs. 12500
Xigmatek NRP-PC 402 - Rs. 4200
Bitfenix Merc Alpha - Rs. 3800
G.Skill Value Ram NT 4GB - Rs. 1950

Total Rs. 39200. This would give you enough budget to buy an HDD from pg market place.
