No, it's either of them.

ugh okay then.

Get the 6600k, the 212evo, a cheaper motherboard, and SSD, a better PSU, a WAY different GPU and why a UPS?

 

I'd generally be better if you told us a budget and we configure a PC for you.

I would be using the machine for both, some mid to less heavy software works as well as games.

it depends on your needs and budget and the cost of gpu's where you are.

 

I mean if your playing cs:go at 60fps, then the 750ti is fine.. but if your playing GTA V at 1440p or 120hz screen or 4k.. then your looking at a GTX1080.. it's all about the cost vs needs.

I don'T PreSS caPs.. I juST Hit THe keYboARd so HarD iT CriTs :P

 

Quote or @dzzope to get my attention..

I guess with the asus 750 TI GPU, most of the games can be played with mid or lower rate.

indeed.. it all depends on what you will be playing and the settings / experience you will be satisfied with.. 

 

If you've already looked at what you want to do and found the 750ti matches that.. then your good.

If you would like better graphical quality / smoothness then you need to look at other options or set specific requirements like play x game with x settings and x minimum frames in order for us to advise what card you need for that level of performance.

Can you recommend a better GPU other than the one i have selected, and which will give me better quality within the given cost of the GPU mentioned.

AMD tends to be better at lower costs.. But without knowing where you are, I can't make any suggestion..

 

Also, If possible, use budget from the AIO cooler / i7 intoi the ssd / gpu.

 

So, give me a budget and where you will be buying (country or site)

I am from India, and my budget is around 1000$ or 70k. I will buy from the local outlets.

Yea, indian pricing is way out there.. :(

Look at the options closest in pricing or within budget then find reviews of those cards.. I'm guessing the R9 370 ish and compare if you think the performance gain is worth it...

 

It's going to take me too long to research different prices, your going to have to do some leg-work yourself..

Can you give me a list of cards that fall into your budget??
