Review my Gaming Rig please

[aimi95]

Hey PG members, I've decided to get a gaming rig under the tight bugdet of 50k. I don't play high graphics games like Crysis 2, BioShock etc. I would just like to play CS:GO and Stronghold 3. So here's all what I'm thinking to buy


Casing= ThermalTake v3 ~3000
Processor = Core i3 3220 ~13,000
RAM= Corsair Value Select 4GB 2,500
MOBO= Asus P8B75-M LX 8,700
GPU= Gigabyte HD 7770 DDR5 ~13,000
PSU= Cooler Master Extreme 2 525w 5,200
DVD RW any 1,500
HDD Samsung TravelStar 400BG ~5000

Total ~51,000


Are they good? or I have more good options?

Casing : one of the best
processor : this is what you need
RAM : ok but will have to upgrade in future for BF 4 and GTA 5
MOBO : If there is auto over-clock/tuning option then tune it for once after upgrade your bios to latest version through USB
GPU : in 13k its ok of medium to high graphics but on 768p or 900p in some cases
PSU : cooler master is not good for hours of gameplay its better to change it in future with thermaltake
DVD RW : asus or sony
Other card : wifi is your best option because in board audio is enough for sound systems like 5.1 surround etc

Change hard drive to a 500gb seagate 7200.14.
Change power supply to a 400w xigmatek pc-402 ( the cooler master is fine if u want it)

[MENTION=61906]aimi95[/MENTION], that's a very good looking setup. Just change the PSU and HDD to what sohaib50k has suggest and you're great to go. Also, make sure you get a single stick of 4GB RAM and not two 2GB ones.

Not possible without compromising elsewhere.

From what I think you want, you got it all right. You can always add RAM later if you need it when you'll have the budget. So for now 4gb is just fine. Unless you've got a habit that compels you to get a tiny bit more out of your system by overclocking then go ahead. Else just leave it as it is you're not missing alot. That video card is also great for your needs/budget. Cooler Master isn't that bad as people here at PG make it out to be. Infact its quite good(although some other brands have higher quality/price. But you won't be wrong with CM aswell). Didn't use the Extreme series but I used to have their older Realpower series and it was fine. Samsung makes good harddrives. But there are better/larger harddrives available in its price by Seagate. For DVD RW, Asus, Sony, LG, they're all good. For sound card, I dont think you'd want any as the onboard sound is just fine for regular use. About quad-core, well, I'd prefer it too but your budget doen't seem to allow it. And its not really bad either considering what you want the PC for.

Yeah sure! I will upgrade my RAM after 2-3 months BTW, I don't play BF or any other game. I'm fine with CS series and SH series.

A decent 400-450W PSU should run that. Change the HDD to a Seagate 500GB. You're all set. Finally someone on PG who knows how to build a PC.

Actually I will upgrade some components of this system after 6-7 months, so I'm planning to buy a 500 watt PSU once. And all credit goes to my dear friend Amman Pasha (he is not on PG forums) he suggested all this stuff to me, I'm a newbie to gaming systems infact I never used any desktop. I have been using laptops since 6th grade

 

[Behrox]

get the PSU soban suggested and a Seagate 500GB and u are good to go pretty good specs

 

[iampasha]

im here now ^_^
and yea the 500 watts psu is enough but you should go for sivlerstone its around 5k

 

[max007]

Its a decent setup...but if possible go for a used i5 2400 in a range of 13k

 

[theundead]

nobody uses optical drives anymore. Also, get the cheapest casing available. Save cash on these 2 items & invest elsewhere(PSU, GPU, HDD etc)

Just change that damn psu to some good reliable brand, xigmatic,thermaltake,asus,silverstone,delta,Antec,fsp and last but not least corsair, there are more good brands, cooler master silent,real power series is good but they are so expensive. except psu all is good.
