Guys, let's suppose my budget is 20k and I am thinking to upgrade my system.
GA P35 DS3L (REV 2)
C2D E8400
GTX 550 TI
Cooler Master (500w I think lol)

First of all, I am planning to upgrade my processor and motherboardas I can always buy a new card. I have seen these workstations like HP Xw6200, Dell 690 and all. Some of them have double quad core processors and I can get 2nd hand of these in like 20k. I saw a benchmark and it was equivalent to an i7. What should I do? Should I buy a complete workstation or update my processor and mobo to what...
they are outdated for gaming man,and the ones that are really on par with i7's cost like 80K per processor. DO NOT buy E8400 or any 775 processor. GO for dual core ivy bridge,you will get more then 50-60% performance boost overall. And instead of 550ti try 650/ti if you can find one in good price.

lol,say that then mate.
Sell everything,get i3 3220 or pentium dual core ivy bridge if you cant afford i3,mobo should cost arnd 5-7K. Ram 2x2GB for 2K and spend rest on any gpu within range,GTX 650/AMD 7770 at least recommended.

[MENTION=887]Afnan Mir[/MENTION] sell everthing as shinigami mentioned and get what he has recommend plus a good PSU like Corsair CX430 or Silverstone ST50F-ES 500w also if u can't get the AMD 7770 in your budget then get the HD 7750 instead of the GTX 650 as it is cheaper and 7750 is almost same in performance to 650 also I don't think u will get even a 2x2 GB Ram for 2k not new at least so if it comes to around 3k get a single stick of 4gb instead

Alright guys, am willing to spend 20ish on a processor and 12ish on a Mobo. What to get?

- I don't need Crossfire/SLI support.
- I don't need Overclocking, ever.

So how about I pair an H77 mobo with a i7 2600? Versus a 3570? Or 3550 for that matter?

The only reason I'm even thinking about changing my current CPU/Mobo is that it's becoming a bottleneck for my 680 in CPU intensive games. So I don't really wanna spend a lot. I just want something that get remove the bottleneck in the lowest possible cost.

Hello friends.

my aunt is planning on buying a laptop so since she's gonna be at parlor most of the day i m gonna carry it around like my thing.
so i want her to buy a gaming laptop so i could do lots of gaming on it and have decided to buy her HP Pavilion SleekBook 15-B001
specs:
intel Core-i3 3217M
500hdd
4gb RAM
"GT 630M 1GB GPU"
15.6
and one year international warranty
other facts of the notebook are that its got no optical drive which is the only thing pisses me off about this laptop but rest of the things like its looks and extremely slim and ultra portability and its very light weight fill up the dig though.

so guys share your views and suggestions and experiences regarding this laptop and help me out deciding it if should buy this notebook or not.
i don't know about its battery life and how is it gonna perform in the terms of gaming so please share your reviews and please must help me out.
and its not like i m in love with this notebook so if there is some other one as a better choice better than it in terms of gaming performance ,battery life or specs or better at having additional components like OPTICAL DRIVE that it doesn't have and etc and if strictly around its price range, i wouldn't hesitate changing my mind and making the better decision.
Thanks:wink2:

I need suggestions for an lcd/led available in Karachi.

I dont want/need 3D or in built speakers.


I do want low response times < 5ms and 1080p. 22-25" is fine by me. Im guessing non 3D go for less than 30k in the market so im budgeting around that figure.

Mostly for regular PC use, and gaming not for watching any video.

The specs of the PC I intend to use it with is mentioned in my profile.


Thanks in advance, God bless.
