Hello all

My rig is 

AMD phenom IIx4 940

msi 790Fx motherboard

4 gb gskill ram (1333)

saphire 5850 GPU

550 Tagan PSU

nzxt phantom case

 

i am planning to upgrade it i need some suggestions

 

i am from india and budget is almost 30k-40kINR ($460-$620USD)

 

i am using this pc for Gaming and photo &video editing

 

planning to use 2 monitors 1080P@60hz (gaming only on one screen)

 

no peripherals

i am upgrading because my motherborad is damaged (reason unknown even service center couldn't tell me) i repaired the mobo but it failed aging so am planning to replace the mobo only but i thought its time to move on

 

i am so confused to intel or amd

shoud wait for 380x or go nvidia

i am planning to run this pc more 3yrs at most

and i want to play all games @ ultra settings 1080P smoothly

 

any help is appreciated

well 1080p ultra for 3 years is really big thing

i think only a 980/390x can offer you that

Hello all

You'll want an i5 4460 or an 8320/e with actually a 970, because if I remember right, last time I checked in india at least, the 390 was priced way higher than the 970 for some reason.

 

Now if somehow you can get a 380x I'd do that, but I think the card is out just yet, if the 390 is the same price do that, otherwise get a 380 if it's signifigantly cheaper

You'll also probably want a new power supply as well

Unless you're getting a 144hz display the unlocked i5 won't really matter

yeah but i will crossfire or sli in future

390 CF ok i guess

970SLI, don't, 3.5GB VRAM will soon be struggling

[bond043]

also i wanted to know one thing i know DDR4 is out of budget but what if i go DDR4 pc 

is it worth it now or later

Can i get DDR4 pc in this budget?

[bond043]

390 CF ok i guess

Not really, DDR4 won't be worth it, but if skylake doesn't cost much more than haswell where you are might as well go skylake

then go with 970, it will last you at least for a year, then sell it and buy another one

in the end of 2016 much can change

will do asap
