Best Gaming CPU under $250

Best Gaming CPU Under $250/Rs.13000

Competitors: Core i5-2500k, Core i5-2500, AMD FX-8120, AMD FX-8150, Core i5-2400, 

Core i5-3550, Core i5-2320,Core i5-3450,Core 15-661,AMD Phenom II 1090T

Winner:   Intel Core i5-2500k

Q: AMD FX-8150 series have 8 cores,higher default clock and huge unlocking potential, why didnt it got chosen ?

In all benchmarks and game testing AMD FX failed to come even close to i5-2500k without latter being overclocked.That was indeed shocking . The main reason is pointed out in AMD FX's micro architecture which had a terrible flaw in coordinating  impressive multi-core processing.FX-8150 needs more power and produces more heat.Also most games wont even need 4 cores of perfomance.So i5-2500k is winner.

Q:  The Ivy core i5-3550 uses less power and performs better by under same speed. So shouldn't it be the winner?

First of all i5-2500k is an unleashed and unlocked processor-meaning it will have the power for huge overclocking, even with standard coolers. Actually a more valid comparison is between 3570k and 2500k. both have unlocked multipliers. At times when you feel you need a boost to your performance in some games, overclocking can really help you so i5-2500k prevails over i5-3500

Verdict: So there you have it. The ultimate winner is Core i5-2500k from Intel.

SD Card With Built-in USB

SAN DISK SD CARD WITH BUILT-IN USB

Check out a SanDisk SD card with built in USB for easy transfer of files.Now I can eliminate the USB cord all together and simply pop the card out of the camera and offload my pics right to my PC.The SanDisk UltraII  is a relatively standard memory card that’s quite ample in its performance, featuring 15MB/sec Read/Write speeds and useful for almost any kind of photography. The Sandisk Ultra is also capable of some pretty solid transfer times between the card and your PC. The only downside I can find to this nifty little card is that 4 GB’s is the largest card they make, but with such easy data transfers, all without the pesky cords and wires, and with an under 25 dollar price tag for the 4 GB

You can buy a 4GB card from amazon

No sunshine, no need to worry, it has it all covered up . It also comes with a AC charger plug also.
