[NBA] My First Gaming PC

[saad07]

OK, im building my first pc and i thought i would just ask here before i finalise my build: In any case the specs are as follows:
Pentuim G620
4Gb kingston ram
His Hd 6750
500Gb seagate hardisk
INtel DH61WW motherboard
An old Antec 300 CASe
Cooler master GX 450W power supply
Samsung DVD/Rw combo
IS my PSu enough to power this setup?
And whether i should go for HD 6750 OR HD 7750. I read up on the internet that HD 7750 is a glitchy card, Bsod issues etc. So i should i go for it or for the 6750 or 7750?
Also which shop in technocity( karachi) is good? Should i just build my entire pc from galaxy or will i get better prices from some other shop?​

First of all .. tell us about your budget
At what resolution, do you play games?

As far as the 'Galaxy' is concern, they are good at only Warranty Claims.. thats it (personal experience).
Compare the rates n quotation from various shop wala's.. see what people is offering. Then decide.
I personally suggest you to Buy things from Czone.Com.Pk

My budget is exactly Rs 42000
resolution is not a big issue for me, i play at 1024*768 for better framerates

Since your budget is 42000 , you can get a decent pc but u still need to make some points clear.
Will you be buying everything from scratch or are you using some of your old stuff.

I would like make a few changes

The processor should be core i3 2120
The power supply should be Xigmatec 500watt which can be bought from IMX
The graphic card should be Gigabyte 6770 oc

Techno is cheap but you need to go on the first floor to the main dealers for cheaper and reliable products.

Iam building everything from scratch. Im not using a single old part. So what do u say now? Also what and where is IMX? sorry about the stupid question but im building my first pc so i dnt know these things.... Im just reusing my antec 300 case

 

[wankelboy]

Would you be needing a Monitor in this budget as well ?

 

[saad07]

No i have kept 10K seperate for monitor and mouse and keyboard

 

[wankelboy]

Here we go

Core i3 2100 - 10800 ( IMX)
Asrock H61 Motherboard - 5700 (IMX)
Kingston 4gb ram - 2100
Xigmatec 500watt - 4900 (IMX)
AMD 6770 xfx starts - 11600
500 GB HDD - 7000
DVD combo - 1900

Total stands out to be 44000

Here another suggestion for you:
--Cooler master GX 450W power supply is expensive here, Go for the cheaper 430 watt Antec from Galaxy.
--walkelboy has suggested to go for the gigabyte 6770 and i agree with him. The 7750 is new and the drivers are still a little bit glitchy
-- In 10k you can easily find a 19 lcd from the market. Remember lcd perform better when at their native resolution. The 6770should be able to handle all current games in good playable frame rates.
-- If you want to go for the core i3 2100,2120 then try to increase your budget.


My suggestion for all new pc:
pro Intel dual Core G620....5700 czone.com.pk or from unicenter/technociti
Mobo gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2...5900 available, easetec.com techno citi
hd Seagate 500 GB...........6950 galaxy.com.pk
ram kingston 4GB............2100 galaxy.com.pk
psu antec bp 430............3600 galaxy.com.pk
case casecom................3500 (5288 or 6788) both are good, easetec.com techno citi
dvd rw samsung..............1850 galaxy
gpu card 6770 Gigabyte......11900 available, easetec.com techno citi

total: 41500

 

[wankelboy]

he has already mentioned he has a casing.
why would you prefer him g620
the core i3 would perfectly balance out his system with a 6770/7750 at the resolution he plays at which is 1024*768 with almost alot of games on med-high setting.

 

[jack]

ok..I didn't see that....he already has the case...anyways the total if he wants to buy everything new will be a little bit out of his budget with the i3 2100,

pro Intel i3 2100....................10800 iamextreme.net or from the local market
Mobo gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2...5900 available, easetec.com techno citi
hd Seagate 500 GB.................6950 galaxy.com.pk
ram kingston 4GB....................2100 galaxy.com.pk
psu antec bp 430...................3600 galaxy.com.pk
case antec............................u already have
dvd rw samsung....................1850 galaxy
gpu card 6770 Gigabyte..........11900 available, easetec.com techno citi

total: 43100

Nyc idea but its just a little over my budget.. If i can go little over budget i will opt for this build..

 

[jack]

Please do not go for the cooler master extreme series....all of the power supplies in this series are really bad.

However the cooler master Gx450 and Antec bp 430 are both good so choose one of these.

[MENTION=15570]jack[/MENTION] why buy GX450 for 5300Rs when Xigmatek NRP-PC502 is available for 4900Rs?

 

[jack]

well...if you are talking from the price point of view ....with shipping to Karachi it is gonna cost the op almost the same...

there is also the shipping hassle, he has to order it online and the ps will come from islo,
if it develops some problem in the future then he has to ship it back to islo for warranty...another hassle

Also the cooler master gx 450 scores slightly higher in johnny guru testing then the Xigmatek model:

Coolermaster GX450 450W Review
Xigmatek NRP-PC502 500W Review

 

[saad07]

Well if i can The xigmatec one from TEchnocity or some other shop i will buy that one otherwise i will buy cooler master Gx 450..
in any case thanks to both jack and wankleboy for helping me out with my build..

 

[Furqan shah]

bro cooler master GX series is not a better PSU series in cooler master so Xigmatec will be good for u
check this GX 450 Review Coolermaster GX450 450W Review
it will help you to buy

Actually xigmatec is my first preferrence but i dont want to face all the hassle of shipping etc. If i find it in any shop, I will buy it, otherwise i will go for ANtec Bp 430 i guess

 

[sohaib50k]

Also as hdd's are expensive it will be better to get a sparingly used one for cheaper.

Also i3 will be good for gaming as your resolution is low.

 

[hasanJ]

[MENTION=52134]saad07[/MENTION] U wont find Xigmatek in TechnoCity because only IMX is the Distributor for Xig and they have outlets in Islamabad and Pindi along Shipping all over Pakistan

I see GX450 as an absolute rip off at Rs 5,300 tbh
using Xigmatek 500W myself for more than 6 Months now powering a 200W GPU and im also in Karachi so had it shipped
