Hello.

I am going to acquire a new PC with the following characteristics:

CPU: Intel i5 2500k
HDD: Seagate Barrucada 1 TB 32 MB Cache
Power: Cooler Master 450 W EXTREME PLUS
Ram: PNY 4 GB (1x4) 1333 Mhz (Already Buyed)

Did he want to ask them on these components, who is the best?

Motherboard: I want to do overclock Intel i5 2500k Might they say the economic one to me?
(CPU only, No IGP) (I want to buy a Nvidia Card)

Video Card: Whats is better? Can they arrange them for number?
Nvidia GTX 550ti, Nvidia GTX 560 SE, Nvidia GTX 650 TI, Nvidia GTX 650 (Without TI) or is more better ATI RADEON?

I am using a translator, Sorry for bad english.
Thanks
GTX 690 > GTX 590 > GTX 680 > GTX 580/GTX 670 > GTX 570/GTX 660 TI > GTX 560 TI/GTX 660 > GTX 560/GTX 650 TI > GTX 550 TI and so on....

The second digit refers to how fast a GPU is within its series (90, 80, 70, 60, etc.). So for example a GTX 680 will be faster than a GTX 670. The first digit refers to the series. A comparable card from a newer series will be faster than the older version. For example a GTX 650 will be faster than the 550 TI from the previous generation which it replaced. In recent times it is usually on par with the level above it from the previous series.

Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 .
@NaturalViolence
Then it means that simply the highest number is a better graphic card, Then the best card of those that it mentions is Nvidia GTX 650 TI
But if the second number is major, it is more rapid, Im more rapid Nvidia GTX 560 SE? or Definity Nvidia GTX 650 TI

and with regard to the motherboard which would be indicated for overclock Intel i5? but that is the economic model. (CPU only, No IGP)
You might do a list to me with the models.

and the power Cooler Master is great for the Graphics card?

@admin89
It is an excellent but the price it is a little expensive, I prefer a more economic Motherboard, to invest more in the graphic card.
Sorry my bad english.
What ? Asrock mobo is expensive ?
It's the best mobo for the price
Don't cheap out on mobo otherwise you will regret it
Want a cheaper mobo ? Asrock Z77 Pro 4 or Asrock Z68 Pro 3 or Asrock Z68 Extreme 4 or P67
If you don't need overclocking , you can go ahead and buy H61 mobo .It's cheap and it does not support overclocking
@admin89
Asrock Z77 Extreme 4, I am sorry about it, I saw the price for Internet and it was slightly expensive, I am of mexico and they are more expensive 231 €.(I see the price for Internet).
Have the prices of the following motherboard:

(Place of the computing)
Gigabyte Z77-D3H: 109 €
Gigabyte Z77M-D3H: 87 €
Asus P8Z77-M PRO: 141 €
Asus P8Z77-V LX: 117 €

These are the prices in my country, I am going to look the price for the motherboard Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 in Place of the computing.

Thanks.

Not quite.

For example the number 640 is higher than 570. But a GTX 570 is much faster than a GT 640.

Yes.

Quote:But if the second number is major, it is more rapid, Im more rapid Nvidia GTX 560 SE? or Definity Nvidia GTX 650 TI

They should be about the same. I would go with the 650 TI.
@NaturalViolence
Excellent, I will Buy the Nvidia GTX 650 TI. Which is the best mark? Gigabyte, ASUS, eVGA
I do not want Zotac because they are of bad quality (Earlier it had GT 8500 and I last not even one year).
And about power supplier is great for the Graphic Card? Power: Cooler Master 450 W EXTREME PLUS
450W will run a 2500k and 650TI, but it's gonna be noisy as it is gonna be using all it's power at load.
I would consider a 500w or more if it's a decent quality (80 plus bronze) or go 600w.

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

I've been happy with Gigabyte cards lately and I have Gigabyte GTX285 on it's 3rd year still!
My previous card was a MSI 9800GT OC, which died after 1.5 years, but I've heard they have shaped up their QC lately.

If you don't plan on crazy over clocking any Z77 board will do the job.

And finally, unless the 2500k is much cheaper than the 3570k, go with the 3570k.

You might wanna get an aftermarket cooler if you wanna OC, Coolermaster Hyper 212 is good for the price.

God , 231 € vs 109 €. They double the price for it

In that case , you should choose Gigabyte Z77-D3H .

For overclocking , you'll need an aftermarket cooler .Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is dirt cheap

i5 3570k and i5 2500k pricing ? How much do they cost in your country ?

I personally prefer i5 3570k
