expert advice required for upgrade :P

[Nandit_HAF]

Hi, Nandit from New Delhi , India 

i've got 20k rupees for a new build which isnt much , and also if i sell my previous components , i may get 3-4k more - the total comes in 23k minimum

now, i want an amd processor ( as i have an amd board) , a graphic card , a case and a psu 

i have settled for 2 options after wandering the web for days

 

 

1.i'm getting a 7870+corsair vs650+dragon chaos gaming mouse-and a cooler master tx3 , all of which are used for 13k .. and a fx 8120 processor (used ) which i got for about 6 k , and 4-5k for a  new case.

 

 

2.i'm getting a r9 280x for 15k (used) and buy a processor (used ) for about 3.5k (i'm getting a phenom 2 955 )... and buy a shitty case and a vs450 (used) which i'm getting for about 4k total (case and psu) 

 

 

 and i game whenever i have a chance (gaming is love , gaming is life) 

i'm very confused, i won't be able to upgrade the pc for almost 2-3 years after this

and no , i cant pool in more money,

 

  

also , all the things i've mentioned that are used have some warranty with them ...

 

thank you in advance for the advice guys

I can't really make any suggestions if there is anything else you could because I don't know any of the current prices in India, but if I had to choose between the two options you names, I would go for the first one. That way you get at least a half way decent CPU.

The second option wouldn't be that great because the CPU would be quite a bottleneck anyways.

With the first option you should be able to play at least at 1080p and low-medium settings.

hi , thanks for replying ... i was wondering , an r9 260x can play games at high settings very efficiently at 1080 p , although 7870=r9 270 , you are saying that it would play only at low... can you explain ?

I guess it depends on the game you're looking at.

An R9 270 will definitly not play a game like Crysis 3 or FarCry4 at high settings in 1080p with stable 60FPS.

But it shouldn't have a problem with games like CounterStrike GO and League of Legends for example.

Can you specify how much PSU wattage do I need ? I'm thinking of buying a low wattage one but of better quality that this ...

I would take a PSU with at least a wattage of 450. But really i recommend a 500-600w PSU.

That way the PSU doesn't need to work at full load all the time and is going to last longer.

Hi, Nandit from New Delhi , India

You'll probably want to go with the first option there

But why not use that case money towards a better GPU?

 

and what's your current CPU?

If get a better GPU , I won't be able to get that vs650 as its in the combo deal of 13k , also investing in a new , quality PSU would be costly
