^ Price and availability in the market for AMD cards is the biggest problem currently.

 

There is no more ATi, they go bought out by AMD almost a decade back now.

Builds

 

Good builds, I would only suggest the following build in their place,

Core i5 4690k

MSi H97 GAMING

ASUS / MSi GTX970

Seasonic M12II 520W EVO

NZXT S340 (since you are in Bombay)

 

Haswell has been having toothing issues, I would not recommend it to anyone till Intel releases a fresh revision of processors acknowledging and fixing this mistake.

Alpha I searched a lot on asus and Toms hardware

looks like z170 chipset has the most memory compatibility issue

H170 and B150 are fine

^ Yeah! It is still funky that they are selling the hardware, often at a much higher price than normal (because limited supply) and then three months down the line accepting that there is something wrong with the chip which they plan to patch-out with a firmware push via motherboard vendors.

Also one more thing can anybody suggest me a build on Amd only

Just exclude graphics and power supply

Amd is said to be lining up its newest crop of proc. around this may i guess anything you might buy now will be dated and quite old. Most of the amd stuff they sell here is 2013. It might be 8-cores/threads and all but it would be useless if current and upcoming games aren't optimized for it properly. Edited by NitroNeo

No point looking at AMD's current line up of processors.

guys is Zotac ssd reliable??

Want to buy one

Debating between Sandisk and zotac

Both are 3k with 3 years warranty

 

SanDisk. ZOTAC! is probably rebranding some OEM unit.

 

What capacity units we talking about and where?

^ Because the graphic card is not the only component of a PC. :mellow:

 

Also, all custom cards have a higher TDP out the door because of higher base-clocks, Turbo, over-clocking overheads and additional cooling paraphernalia.

I know that. Other brands that have a boost clock almost identical to the gigabyte model require only 500w. I don't plan on over clocking the card any more than the boost clock. My xfx 7850 had an official power requirement of 500 watts. But I haven't had any issues running it in my vs 450(yeah, I know[emoji15]) for almost 3 years.

^ Look man, these are arbitrary numbers that every brand comes up for themselves, there is no hard and fast rule that you require to follow it to the dot. A good 500W would do great for ~90% of gaming PC's sold and bought, maybe 650W, in-case you plan to add fans and more storage but companies prefer keeping the number higher so as they cannot be blamed in-case something does go South.

 

Oh! And if I were you, I would throw that Corsair VS450 before upgrading to a GTX970. You have been lucky till now, I would not push that.
