Better Motherboard and Graphics Card?

[jdigital]

@admin89
it is almost the price double, but looking it is possible that it finds her cheaper, Then in case of not finding Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 in acceptable price, Am I reading that the Z77-D3H has a few problems, it is not a better ASUS? Asus P8Z77-V LX or P8Z77-M PRO?

In the shop where I bought the memory ram (PNY 4GB x 1)
They sell to me the intel i5 2500 (Without K) in 120 € and little more the intel i5 2500 (With K).
Intel i5 3570K 176€, Intel i7 2600K 235€.

The intel is more expensive intel i5 3570K But I will try to see if I obtain it more economic.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo With this cooler, up to all that I will be able overclock to the intel? @4 Ghz?

@cluthz
Yes, Gigabyte is better mark Zotac is very bad mark. My 8500 Dead in Middle Year.

Quote:Asus P8Z77-M PRO
Gigabyte Z77M-D3H

M = Mini ITX (small form factor , portable)

Normal ATX case :


Mini-ITX case isn't cheap . Only a few mini-ITX case take full size power supply ( Bitfenix Prodigy , Cooler Master HAF XB)

Quote:Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo With this cooler, up to all that I will be able overclock to the intel? @4 Ghz?

4.5GHz max . You'll need aftermarket thermal compound (Arctic MX-4 or Noctua NT-H1 or Xigmatek Freezing Point - G4718)

Quote: it is not a better ASUS

I own both Gigabyte and Asus mobo ...
Asus is just a brand , they have good mobo and bad mobo as well . You should look at model number , details , customer reviews
On Newegg , the Gigabyte Z77-D3H has better review than Asus P8Z77-V LX

Excellent, Till now this is what I have to buy:

CPU: Intel i5 2500K or Intel i5 3570k (In case of finding it more economic)
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 650 TI
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77-D3H
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
HDD: Seagate Barrucada 1 TB 32 MB Cache
Ram: PNY 4 GB (1x4) 1333 Mhz (Already Buyed)

It is a good configuration.

Only do I have a dude, The Cooler Master 450 W EXTREME PLUS is good for the configuration or update to 500 W?

Thanks.

That CM Extreme has 70% effciency . You should buy a PSU that have at least 80% effiency (80 plus) -> Pay less on electricity bills
More headroom (wattage) if you want to SLI or upgrade later . PSU degrade over time , 450W 70% is definitely not good for long run

I recommend Antec 550W 80plus

Yep, 550W are recommended, especially, when you plan to over clock your CPU

Quote:Excellent, I will Buy the Nvidia GTX 650 TI. Which is the best mark? Gigabyte, ASUS, eVGA

All three are good brands. I prefer EVGA personally.

Quote:GeForce 560SE is Geforce 560 "SLow Edition" which is performing along the lines of an 550TI.

It's faster than a 550 TI (although not by a huge margin). It should perform inbetween the GTX 650 and GTX 650 TI in the 600 series and inbetween the GTX 550 TI and GTX 560 in the 500 series.

Great, Then I buy an Cooler Master 550 W?. I already have most of the components, but I even have this doubt and another question, I am going to give to my brother an PC for Games.
But I do not also have thought of buying to him something for FULL HD.
That think this configuration for the gift:

AMD Phenom II X4 965
Motherboard Gigabyte (Please recomend)
4 GB RAM DDR3
Nvidia GTX 550 TI
Power supply 450 Watts (C.M)
Basic case

Really what he wants is to play a dolphin.

For this gift, the 965 is better or I change it into an FX-6100?
Although I think that with this configuration I will be able to raise most of games (Dolphin 1080P)
Really is the speed difference evident against an intel?
It is a gift, but also I would like when it goes visiting, to Play a little bit with my brother.
Thanks!

Pls stay away from AMD-FX CPUs, they're not recommended for Dolphin. The Phenom II X4 is better

But the best Dolphin experience can be achieved with an Core i5-3570k (or the older i5-2500k)

I wouldn't buy 650ti, unless I didnt have any more money.
If you can afford it, 660 ti or even just 660 is much better card.

For power supply use the Cooler Master power calculator, set to advance mode and then over clock your processor http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/
