Ok, i had a thread related to this ~4months ago. This is just in case theres a possible update possible.
Currently im thinking to go with,
i5 2500(should i go with the "k" or not?)
2x4gb ram
Graphics-->560ti/6850/6870....confused between these three..


I was checking other threads and came across this config which i quite liked
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-compon...gaming-pc-urgent-config-help.html#post1399964

however the user reports that 2months after assembling a motherboard component has burnt, which really gives me 2nd thoughts.

thanks ...however i would be going for the 560ti
main thing left is the PSU....600w as you stated would be ideal....should i insist on Corsair....my assembler told me about iball....however i told him not to put it... since i wouldnt trust it....the same with RAM.....they generally put transcend....i still have some time left to tell him not to put transcend...any other brands in case corsair is not available....?

Do NOT opt for transcend. They are not good brand espcially when Corsair & G.Skill is available.

If you're going with 560Ti, then choose MSI GTX560TI Hawk@14K.

Stay away from el-chepo local psu.GS600 is enough for 560Ti and your whole system :)

F0r GTX 560Ti the best VFM PSU is Corsair GS600. If you go for iBall/Zebronics PSUs they will not be able to deliver the required power and due to overload (as you power requirement will be higher due to GTX-560Ti) the PSU will burnout and may even take some precious parts (like your Motherboard, HDD, RAM & GPU) too.
So, better stay away from such Local PSUs.

For RAM, if Corsair isn't available then go with GSkill RAMs. If you are unable to get GSkill then atleast you should opt for Kingston ones.

If you are unable to find Corsair products in your city, then contact Aditya Infotech. They are the official distributors of Corsair products in India. Go the link below, search for your city (or the nearest one), and then cntact for you PSU and RAM.

If not corsair, you can order FSP PSUs from them too.

I think 560ti OCed version works better than HD 6950 right?
Or, OP might just be a nvidia fan.

Actually only Twin Frozr III version of 560 Ti can beat a Stock HD 6950 2 GB version, HAWK and Twin Frozr II can't beat the stock HD 6950.
But the overclocked and custom Cooled version of HD 6950 performs very near to HD 6970 or GTX 570 stock...Twin Frozr III is a perfect example of it. Another benefit is unlocking the HD 6950 2 GB models to HD 6970 by simple BIOS tweak.

But the one we are referring to is 560ti Twin Frozer II/OC & is better than stock HD 6950..

Twin Frozr II 560 Ti O/C has better cooler and provides more overclocking headroom, but not better performer than HD 6950 stock at out of the box. It needs to be pushed a little further to beat HD 6950.
