MY build :
i5 3550 asus p8b75-v || Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H Motherboard Sapphire HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM Corsair VS450 Watt PSU cabinet - max 2k.
So your buying a 7770, but your case can cost a maximum of 2k? think your focusing on the wrong this here mate, also but if you are speaking in a foreign currency, i could understand it since you said you max was 25 000 to 30 000, but your build looks fine, i would go with h77 but the chipset isnt really that important when your not going to be overclocking, setting up a raid system or anything special
how does the new build fair out, does it look awesome. or do i need to replace some of the components mentioned. h77 is a little expensive, but as im not over clocking i've decided to go with b75.
masterdome, i have an HDD, and am never in 3 years time going to use SSD. + here in my place, the avg temp is from 27- 32. so i wont be overclocking as well. and im not interested in overclocking also. that being said, should i still invest money in H77 ?
i5 but then 7770? not balanced, not enough to play FC3 and Cr3 with acceptable settings.
The i5 is a higher midrange processor, that means it should be matched with a higher midrange graphics card for a smooth running system. That means Radeon HD7870/GTX660.
HD7770 is just a bad deal, it's not that much cheaper than a 7850 for instance, but the performance is just not modern, it's not suitable for gaming at a quality level that makes it better than playing on a console hooked up to a TV.
Hot air does not hinder overclocking, don't think the air temperature in India is higher than the air taken in by a PC at a crowded LAN party... not overclocking is throwing away money. In my opinion, if you're going for an i5, look out for a GTX660. If that's over budget, get an AMD FX6300 with an HD7870 or even an AMD PhenomII X4 955/965 or FX4300 with an HD7850. A stronger processor is something that doesn't give any benefit in most games, but a stronger graphics card gives huge performance benefits in most games.
If i were you change out one of your HDD's and grap a small (128GB if i were you) SSD so your pc boots up and games load soo much faster. It wont make a difference when you are in game but you wont ever have to wait for anything to load again!
Why do you have a cpu that costs more then the gpu?
Amd Phenom II X4 965 or a fx 6300 or a fx 4300 along with a XFX or sappire 7850 under $200 is way better then your build right now, I strongly recomend Amd cpu and a Gigabyte 970a mobo.
