Help with a new rig.

--- Quote from: Sherlock on December 29, 2012, 06:44:35 AM ---I'm trying to look at a more lower end Graphics card, as the current ones mentioned overshoot my budget here in local stores. How are something like GT610Synergy or GTX630 Synergy?
I generally tend to play games like Fifa 13, C.O.D-MW#, Diablo, Assasin's Creed, F1, Arkham Asylum, Dishonored etc.. You get the drift. Question is, will something like those above run smoothly on the lower end cards?
I can get a lower end Graphics card now, and maybe upgrade to a higher-end one after a couple of years or is that not advisable?
As of now, what I have in mind is
[234$]intel Core i5 3570
[184$]ASRock 277 Extreme 4
[55$]G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 (1x8GB)
[81$]Corsair 300R
[81$]Seagate 1TB Internal
Whatever Graphics Card+Fan that I decide upon.
It's around 35000INR here, which is roughly 650$ converted. Since I'm still a student, this budget itself is getting the frowns now. Corsair RAM doesn't seem to have too much buyers here, hence I'm having a difficulty finding it online..
Looking at the build, it seems low-mid end range, which, frankly, is ok by me for now. Although, if there are any lower-end models with almost similar level performances, that'd be beautiful too
Also, any recommendations for fans? I mostly have a general picture of what to get now, except for the Graphics Card.

So your budget is 650 USD? -pulls out newegg wishlist-
Under 650 USD - Let me know if your able to view this list.
Make sure you use the following promo codes:
EMCJHHB22 PSU
EMCJHHB38 RAM
MBASUS1227 MOBO
Each code reduces the price by 10 dollars, which ultimately gives you a total price of 693 USD. Change whatever you want, thou' this is what I would go for a good standard build for a gamer and multi-tasking and heavy processing. This is a little above your budget, you can change the case and fan to your liking thou I still would recommend both of those.
You do not wanna get cheap with a motherboard, case and a fan. Those three play an important role on how much stress, pressure and heat your equipment will bare.
P.S. I do not recommend Seagate HDDs. Stay away from them.

Last time I checked, Newegg doesn't ship outside of NA, so those promo codes aren't much help :P
And dunno if its just me, it seems a newegg account is needed to see that wishlist

Oh hmm, well it was a good idea to update the 600 USD list. Is anyone able to see the list with an account? Or else, how do you view it without an account? This is a Saved Wishlist.
On another note, man this is so fucking tempting to purchase RIGHT NOW! Replacing few parts and reducing the price for a more powerful rig. I still sport 2x GTX 560 Ti SC (EVGA) so I can just shove one in that new rig. Urgh ... must - be - patient.
Sherlock:
I'm going hunting for fans and the older GPU [FlipKart doesn't have them listed properly] with local dealers. I *should* be able to get a good price and better range for those..
Also Tatsujin, I don't think it's viewable without a newegg acount. Although, since newegg doesn't ship internationally, I won't be able to get anything from there. And over here, apparently, there's a Custom Duty on electronics at 60% of the total value, if the value of the goods is above 10000INR - Crazy stuff :\
Edit: Don't seem to be able to view it even with an account..
Edit 2: Also, I thought Seagate was atleast decent with Internal HDDs? Or is that not the case anymore? Which is better? - Western Digital I guess?
Southrop:
I guess the Newegg wishlist is just a private wishlist. Unlike Amazon's ListManias. Here's my current rig if anyone's interested. http://www.amazon.co.uk/lm/R28SI8B4FX92VN/
On harddrives, I stopped trusting Seagate a long time ago. I used to get Samsung drives when I could, but Samsung's hard drive line was sold to Seagate, and now I have no idea if I get good ones or bad ones from Seagate. WD is more trustworthy than Seagate in my experience anyway. I haven't had a single WD drive die on me. But WD Blacks are pricey. Recently, I've been leaning to Hitachi for my drives. Got a 2TB Hitachi DeskStar drive for my desktop and it's going great so far.
Houkouonchi uses Hitachis all the time and not a single failure apparently.
