PSU - CORSAIR VX550W - 4500
DVD Drive - SONY DVD RW - 1200
UPS - APC BR 1100Y-IN - 5500
which brings the total cost to INR 59900.
Also trying learning Ubuntu, going to help you out in Rendering a lot in Maya & other softwares!
Also later if you can get a HSF coz during rendering your CPU is going to get very very hot!
if you can go for gigabyte mobo!
go for 1333 MHZ!
there is no 1TB blue, there is only Green & Black. don't go for green for OS host as its really bad!

as you play games i would say go for MS Comfort Curve+Logitech MX518.
UPS - APC BR 1100Y-IN - 5500
if you don't get M59 then go for CM 690!
which brings the total cost to INR 59900.
its a really good option, specially for OCing but the only probs with Asus is with there warranty which isn't good!

Hey guys ...
Was busy last week so had to hold the pc buying plans.
Went around a few shops at CTC and got a few price quotes. This is what I have finalized for now. Will be buying everything on Wednesday.
AMD X6 1055T - 9650
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO USB3.0 - 9850
COSAIR 4GB 1333MHz - 6700
WD 500GB CAVIAR GREEN - 2050
CM 690 CABINET - 4600
SONY DVD WRITER - 1100
SAPPHIRE HD 5770 - 9850
UPS APC 1100y - 5500
( Total = 49,300 excluding PSU and Monitor )
1) Now, the guys at the shop were telling me that Corsair VX550w PSU is not available, and that it was not a good PSU. They suggested that I go for a CM Extreme Power 600W ( Rs 3650) instead.
The other option I am left with is to buy a Corsair TX650W which is quite costly at 6.5k. Should I go ahead with the CM Extreme Power 600W?
2) About the RAM: Should I buy a 1600Mhz RAM instead for an additional 350 - 400 bucks? Will it make overclocking easier since it is at a higher frequency?
3) I have decided to take a 22" monitor instead of a 24 inch one, coz I find the 24" a little too wide for my liking
Have decided to go for a BenQ v2220H Eco or BenQ E2220HD whichever is available - in that order, since they both support HD resolution.
The other options I have are:
AOC V22+
Samsung B2230
Samsung s2233?
Do you guys have any other suggestions for the monitor?
Thanks for all your help!

Oh ya.. forgot to add ... I had a look at the NZXT M59. It was priced at 4,300. Saw the M59 and the CM 690 side-by-side. Decided to pick the CM 690 for its curves.

which shop did you get this price from? DANM good price!
go for GSkill RipJaws 1333MHz CL7!
Go for Blue, don't even think about going for green!
try to get it for lower price, tell them you won't give above 4.4K!
don't even think about listening to them! tell them "i want a vx550 or i won't buy from you"! Also DON'T even think about buying the CM Extreme!

if gaming a main priority of this rig, better opt for black. or minimum Blue. green is a 5400rpm hard rive. large access time. GAMING SUCKS on a green.
no to Asus. they having lots of problems. ranging from audio to ram. if you pick Asus, b rest assured, within one year you'll start facng serious issues, & RMA won't help.
they tell Corsair VX550W bad cause they have either no idea about PSUs or they know about the issues users faced with Extreme Power (graphics card, motherboard, even processor & rams burning down due to spikes).
simply don't jump for speed. all rams can't run in that rated frequency. lots of tweaking maybe needed.

get Benq G2220HD or E2200HD (best looking monitor)

Okay,
Will make the following changes:
1) Will choose the WD Caviar Black instead of Green.
2) Will choose the Corsair PSU.
3) Will choose the Benq E2220HD.

One MAJOR doubt:
Just had a look at the XPS 7100 from Dell. It seems to be giving a much better config at the same price (approx 70k).
*i.dell.com/images/global/configurator/general/spacer.gifProcessor
AMD Phenom(TM) II X6 1055T (2.8GHz, 9M, 6C)
Operating System: Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit Edition
Dell(TM) SP2309WFP 23" Full-HD Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor with WebcamMemory: 6GB (2x2GB/2x1GB) DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz Memory
Hard Drive: 750GB SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive with Native Command Queuing
None
Single Drive: 16X DVD+/-RW with Dual Layer WriteVideo Card : 1GB ATI® Radeon™ HD 5870Sound Card : Creative PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi™ Xtreme Audio
For the price, the Dell system seems to be a better option?
It has more RAM, and a better Graphics Card and Sound Card as well.
Does anyone know which motherboard does this Dell system come with?
I'm starting to have second thoughts about getting my system assembled and buy a branded DELL instead. ? HELP!!! VERY CONFUSED!

it looks to be a good buy but the motherboard & PSU will take a hit, maybe. you decide.
rahul.007
bORn To RIse....
just keep one thing in mind.... in same price range, a lappy can NEVER BEAT A DESKTOP....
so its better that you get the config which you have zeroed upon.... think of lappy only if you want mobility....
and its better if you get Corsair TX650W.... great-great buy... y are you saying its not in your budget???? it is very much in your budget(your budget was 65k-70k,,, rite????)....
your config should finalize like this:-
AMD X6 1055T - 9650
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO USB3.0 - 9850
COSAIR 4GB 1333MHz - 6700
WD 500GB CAVIAR GREEN - 2050
CM 690 CABINET - 4600
SONY DVD WRITER - 1100
Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 @ 15.8k
CORSAIR TX 650W @ 6.5K
BENQ E2220 @ 8.5K
UPS APC 1100y - 5500
TOTAL:-69.5k-70K....
GREAT MULTIMEDIA CUM GAMING RIG....

rahul, for your kind info, XPS 7100 is a desktop. a very cool looking one
also no Asus & he won't need TX650 unless he wants Xfire.
OP can instead settle for the 890GX version of the motherboard rahul using.
---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------
also WD Green sucks in a gaming rig. should opt for Black.

they just looks coolrahul, for your kind info, XPS 7100 is a desktop. a very cool looking one

actually they look miles away from being balanced. thankfully anyone interested in HD gaming can configure XPS 7100 & include a HD5870 & X6 1050T. & all this at ~70k or so. this is burgain, provided motherboard based on 890Gx.
Hmm, actually ... when I compare... I find the Dell to be a bargain of sorts?
Let me explain:
Original Config:
x6 1055t
4GB RAM
HD 5850
500GB HDD
22" Monitor
Total = 70.2k
Dell Config:
x61055t
6GB RAM
HD 5870
750GB HDD
23" Monitor
Wireless Keybd and Mouse
Total = 70.4k
If i choose the Sapphire HD 5870 (23k), and another 6GB of RAM(GSkill 1333Mhz at 9.9k) for the assembled config, my total cost goes upto 82k.
Although I cannot explain how Dell is giving such a good graphics card and 6gb memory for lower price... overall .. the Dell seems to be a better buy? Correct me if I am wrong please.

god knows, OP can buy it open it and help us out.But dell offers only 1 yr warranty.
For taking 3yrs warranty
3-year XPS Premier Service with 3-year CompleteCover [Add Rs.11,184.42]

thanx for telling.... this shows that LITTLE INFO LEADS TO BIG DISASTERS....
yup. true. & in OPs case i fear, little info now & disaster later.
they can also strip the components to reduce cost. like a cheap motherboard, just an enough PSU, cabinet i think is a miniTower (SUCKS), ram quality is low, etc

Lanaya
so u were also mislead by the interface in their website
just look at the different 7100 models
out of 4 ,3 of them dont have any monitor and some other required stuff too
and if u include the top cream u mentioned the cost will go up by 100k by DELL
