Help with gaming PC build

Featured Replies

Hi all, i am new to this forum so if i have posted this in the wrong place then i am sorry. I wanted to build a mid ranged gaming PC with a budget of 1000$. So, i have trouble with choosing the motherboard, PSU and the case. I have used the configuration listed below -

 

Processor - Intel core i5 2500k

Video Card - nVidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti

RAM - 2 x 2GB transcend DDR3 @ 1333Mhz

Hard drive - 500GB Segate SATA 7200rpm drive

Mother Board - ? Need an ATX board

Power supply - ? Need a 750W PSU with 40 amps or higher in the 12v rail.

 

I also want to know about the capacity of the SSD drive for storage of OS and other stuff.

 

Thx in advance.

You are planning on playing more than just RS on it, right?

Do those specs really set you back 1000$ ?

Welcome to the forums. I've moved your thread to a more appropriate section.

Good luck finding the answers you need.

I live in india, so the cost of the above specs comes to around 48,000 rupees including a ASRock Z68 PRO3 Gen3 ATX mother board (is this good for this config) and rupees 48,000 is 863$. So every increase in the price in dollars is going to have a huge difference in rupees.

For the power supply, you don't need more than 650W even if you SLI the 560ti. Get either a Corsair, Antec or Seasonic power supply. Nothing else.

I've got a silverstone PSU it works good and is very quiet. There are lots of good PSUs but that make a shitload of noise so I'd recommend looking at the reviews and picking someone quiet as well. Although it's pointless if the rest of your build is noisy.

 

500GB HHD is very small. I'd get a 1TB at the very least. Remember that HHDs get slower as they fill up, you should always have more space than you're going to use. Personally I'd go for at least 2TB, they fill up fast.

 

SSD is a luxury, if money is an issue don't bother. But if you do get one get atleast 120GB, anything less and you hardly have any space left after putting OS.
