Help in selecting GPU !

[debanka]

Hi,

My specs :

Graphics Card Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7850 HDMI OC Edition 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

Ram Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) x 2

Psu Seasonic S12II 520 Watts PSU

Motherboard ASRock 970 Extreme 4 Motherboard

Internal Hard Drive Seagate Barracuda 500 GB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST500DM002)

Cabinet Elite 430 Black

Processor AMD 3.6 GHz AM3+ FX4100 Processor

Cooler Cooler Master 90 CFM Blue LED Cooler

Cooler Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO Cooler x 2

Please suggest if the GPU is compatible with this mobo as the GPU is 3.0 and motherboard says PCIE 2.0.

Thanks

3.0 is backwards compatible. Not that there are any cards out there which saturates the a pcie16x 2.0 interface.

Everything looks compatible to me. Are you still selecting parts? If so I would recommend bumping up your processor to a 6300 if you can afford it and don't want to go the Intel route. Otherwise have fun!

Thanks for the replies ...

Ok, so i will be going with "Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7850 HDMI OC Edition 2 GB GDDR5 "
and fx6300 🙂

Problem solved 😀

Your thread should rather be: help me in selecting a CPU 😛

 

[debanka]

Actually not 😛

u see i always had in mind to go for fx 6100 rather than 4100 but didnt want to bump up my budget so was refraining myself but now i am spending some extra bucks and going for fx6100 😀

the thread was about the 3.0 and 2.0 confusion, i dnt know but i always run into compatibility confusion 🙁

OP you could easily get a core i5 with a H77 motherboard for the cost of FX-4100 with ASROCK 970 Extreme 4 and coolermaster hyper tx3 cooler. the core i5 will be much faster in every application and a huge improvement in games.

Hi Raghu,

From the name i am guessing ur from INDIA (wild one though 😛).
I can go with the configuration u said above cz i have no special knack towards AMD and can easily go with INTEL combinations.

So, can u suggest some site/store where i can get these my total cost of PC in flipkart is Rs 45,000. And i dnt want to bump up my Budget cz i am already running 5k above than what was initially decided.
If store preferably near MUMBAI/ PUNE as i live in PUNE.

Thanks,
Debanka

yeah i am from chennai, india . definitely you should be able to go the computer market and get a few quotations and get the best prices in your market by comparing with different shops and bargaining.

core i5 3450 - 11500
Intel DH77EB - 6300
Corsair 8GB DDR 3 (4GB x 2) - 2200
Seagate 500 GB HDD - 3400
ANTEC 200 V2 - 3000
Seasonic S12II 520 power supply - 3900
MSI HD 7850 2GB Power edition - 15100
Sony DVD writer - 1000

TOTAL 46400

if you want to cut price a bit more go for Transcend 4GB RAM (2GB x 2) . its costs 1200 (600 x 2). i have listed flipkart for the GPU and a popular shop in chennai computer market called delta peripherals whose prices are good. the cabinet and power supply prices are quite accurate because my friend assembled a PC last month and got these two components at these prices.
