500W is more then enough mate,only its efficiency should be silver 80+. [MENTION=45937]rewind[/MENTION] any Qxxx CPU will bottleneck 7870 (xt version in specific) as its comparable to 7970 (using it right now for gaming). My advice is to upgrade the Pro and Mobo first.

[MENTION=22908]shinigami8671[/MENTION] Suggest Some Processors that will not bottleneck with 7870xt :)

Any ivy or haswell will do hell even sandy will work as all three gens have little to no difference in performance. i5 would be ideal

[NBA] Laptop with a ~Rs.80,000 budget

I want to buy a laptop, for gaming and whatever work I'd be faced with as a university student of course. I have a budget of roughly 80k, and can go a little above that if necessary. So any suggestions and help with this would be greatly appreciated. :unsure:

Oh, and don't go and start suggesting me to get a pc for my gaming needs. I've not exactly much of a choice since I wont be staying at home. >___>

Looking to buy a small form factor casing but cant seem to find anywhere in Lahore. I really like the Bitfenix Prodigy but no luck. Anyone got any idea where to get these sort of cases?

Galaxy Computers has Coolermaster Elite 130 casing in stock which is a miniITX casing. It's pretty good for the price (5,200) and I don't think there are any other miniITX casings available in Pakistan.

You can easily get 4G Core i5 with decent Ati 8670 around 70K..The thing with laptop is that you will have to survey a bit market. Different variety is available. If I have to pick some models I'll go for:
Acer Aspire V3-571G
or
Acer Aspire V5-571G
Both of them are under your budget.

Also I read this article few months back. You can try to get some info from it also:

Salaam everyone,

I'll be very brief. My Max. budget for buying a laptop is Rs 65,000(at stretch). I'll be replacing the HDD with 240gb ssd (I've already got it).

Please suggest a good laptop which have graphic card, core i5 and must be from HP or DELL. If anyone want to suggest me the other brand please let me know why you are recommending it.

P.S Please tell me the exact place in Islamabad or on the internet from where I have to buy it.

Quick reply will be highly appreciated.
