Moved to PC Helpdesk Section

Bro u have Selected an LGA1155 Processor and an LGA2011 Motherboard
Meaning the Processor will not fit the motherboard

I suggest u start by posting ur budget (Amount ur willing to spend) and the Use of this PC (Gaming / Rendering or Video Editing etc)

 

[zaib7sumair]

ah . yea well my budget is 150k and my requirement is simply gaming at its peak .

actually i wanted to buy a motherboard that is gonna support the 1866 bus ram .
but apparently ive to get a really expensive process to fit that motherboard .
is there a huge difference btween 1600 bus and 1866 bus gaming dimms from corsair .

 

[hasanJ]

A lot of good hardware is launching in March and April
Most notably the GTX680 in end of March and i7 3770K in end of April

Since u have 150k budget u can accommodate both these pieces of Hardware but u will have to wait
I strongly suggest that u seriously consider GTX680 if not the i7 3770K

As for ur current options obviously u need a Z68 Motherboard which can be bought from here
IAMEXTREME.NET - Motherboards in Pakistan

I would suggest ASRock Extreme3 Gen3 @12k Rs but u can spend 18k Rs on Extreme4 if u want
And if u have plans for 3-Way SLI or Quad SLI then Extreme7 is an option

Though i would suggest spend a large part of the budget on the "3D Card" instead of an extremely expensive motherboard and see whether or not u want to Overclock ur Processor

PS: Since u have a solid budget why not try a better Casing like HAF 922 or HAF912 atleast?

Considering Sandybridge processors there is absolutely no difference when going from 1600MHz to 1866Mhz Rams in GAMING
they will show a difference ONLY in Synthetic Benchmarks and not in Real World Performance

for 1600Mhz Rams G.Skill RipJawsX 2x4GB (8GB) is available for 5700Rs @IMX

 

[zaib7sumair]

yea well right now iam in karachi . and i kinda need a new pc fast . like tommorow fast xD
so i guess i'll go this motherboard
P8B-WS INTEL C206 CHIPSET (LGA1155) SOUND - LAN - DDR3
or this one

P8Z68 DELUXE Z68 (LGA1155) SOUND - LAN - DDR3

n yea i'll look into a better casing !

 

[hasanJ]

Well then cant suggest much on such short notice

Though do think before spending 54k Rs on GTX580 which will probably go down to 40k Rs within months (already has in international market)

 

[zaib7sumair]

you're right .
should i go for gts 570 then ?

 

[Ali Man]

you're right .
should i go for gts 570 then ?

Its not that, he means that all of the current generation Graphic Cards and processors prices would decrease quite much from their current prices. The ASUS motherboard that you've mentioned is good enough with that processor. If you're going to build a gaming PC now, then with your budget, get no less than a GTX-580.

 

[hasanJ]

man its kind of a tricky situation because of the launch of GT600 Series on 22nd or 23rd of March

Even GTX570 will come down in price and most ppl did buy this card @31k Rs from IMX (Yeh they have really solid Prices on GPUs) but its out of stock now

Though GTX570 @38k is still way better Value for money than 54k on GTX580 and since waiting is not an option u should go for it

Another scenario would be to buy a 20k Rs GPU and sell it off in a few months and move to either an HD7900 Series on GTX670/GTX680 GPU
Unlike the high end GPUs the Midrange ones dont get hit as much by price reduction

Dude he means that it would be best to wait before buying ANY card.

 

[zaib7sumair]

that good advice !
and what about the power supply . is 750 watt is enough ?

 

[hasanJ]

Even a 600W PSU would do for Single Cards so 750W is an Overkill but good for future upgrades (MultiGPU)

 

[Ali Man]

that good advice !
and what about the power supply . is 750 watt is enough ?

Yea that's more than enough, but also depending upon a reliable company.

 

[hasanJ]

Though it should be a Proper 600W PSU not the CM Extreme 600 xD

 

[wankelboy]

you should wait , i am as well

wait till the ivy bridge and the new 600 series launch.

I guess u made a mistake , u meant the p67 sabertooth but its not longer on the galaxy site.

 

[zaib7sumair]

ok . btw is 750 watt power supply too much ? should i go for 600 one .

 

[Ali Man]

ok . btw is 750 watt power supply too much ? should i go for 600 one .

600W is good for a single GTX-580, 750W is good for future proofing your build and handling any extra load.

 

[hasanJ]

There is no good 600W available at Galaxy and its out of stock at IMX

the GX750 will have to do as ur in a hurry and we have no idea when 600W ones will be available

My bad CM Silent Pro 600W is available but the price difference isnt much tbh
though it is one of the better PSUs in the market not to mention its Modular

 

[zaib7sumair]

extra load as in . if i wanna go sli with another card?

 

[Ali Man]

extra load as in . if i wanna go sli with another card?

For a 580 SLi, you should at least have a 850W PSU. Extra Load meaning any overclocking, more than 1 HDD, extra fan's etc.
