I would say go for used i3 system,

i3 2100 (7k)
h61 mobo (4k)
160Gb harddrive (1.8k)
casing + psu (2k)
Ram 2gb (<1.5k)

and try to get AMD 5770 or 5750 for about (5.5k, 6k)

 

[Zuhaib Baber]

i3 and 5770 are good but i dont think that it can play crysis 3 on 720p at high setting i can add 3k more if i have to

Then you can replace 5770 with 7750, every other thihng is good!

thank u so much for your answer 7750 wil do good now i was thinking about that i3 is it enough for crysis 2/3 or bf 3/4:salute: i can see that u have i3 2100 have u tryed crysis 3 or bf 4

and what about i5 750 instead of i3 2100

No, i3 is destroyed by C3 at some points - slow downs etc. An i5-750 will perform much better in said game.

I've an i3-2100 and I get 22 avg, 15 min, 33 max at 1920x1080, fully maxed out, 4x MSAA (120 seconds fraps run). I achieved this with an HD 7850 overclocked to 1100MHz/1250MHz. The numbers might seem impressive for the setup I've, but there were some slow downs at demanding situations.

I'd advice getting something like an i5-2300/2400 for optimal performance.

+1, but given the budget you have, i3 2100 is best option and you can later upgrade to i5 processor when you have enough money.

[limpix007]

this list should be updated :/

 

[dasheikh]

Thought this might be the appropriate thread -

I am looking to upgrade my GPU but am not whether I should take the plunge or not; my ATI 6950 2 GB is showing its age, especially after I got a second monitor.

My current specs are;

i5 3570k (not oc'ed, don't have decent cooling or a decent mobo, its a cheap as shit intel mobo which I got in a pinch)
32gb Ram (freq is at 1600, not sure about timings)

I don't want to upgrade to a 290 / 290x since they run hot (even with non reference boards I would prefer not to go with AMD cause its quite warm in Khi as it is); I don't game with dual monitors but prefer to use the secondary monitor to browse / watch random shit or run a second game (dat dere dota tv ).

Any way I'm assuming that my best bet would be the 780gtx - what prices should I be expecting in the market ? And if I sell the 6950 what should I be expecting to receive for it (note that I don't have any of the boxes or anything that came with the GPU since I brought it back with me when I moved back to Pak from NA). I don't necessarily have to sell the 6950 as I would probably keep it handy to run a mini itx build in the future; if it is worth selling then I would.

Any assistance appreciated !

This list should be updated man since z97/h97 mobo are already in the market... for example Gigabyte Z97 HD3 LGA 1150 Socket Motherboard for 14-15k is a very good choice in case you are thinking of future upgrades since z97 and h97 mobo can support intel 5th gen processors

I have updated the guide. Feedback is welcome.
