Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

^^ Change the X58 platform in "God" gaming rig" to current Z68. X58 is EOL now and a person going for i7 990x by spending 54k won't be able to upgrade any further. An overclocked i7 2600k performs similarly to i7 990x even when overclocked. Though there's a performance deficit, its too marginal.

When bulldozer and sandybridge-E arrives, we can update the rigs then.

Msi GTX 560-Ti hawk should be given as an option along with sapphire 6950 1gb. Its worthy enough and is around 14k now in kolkata as confirmed by cilus.
Its power consumption is less as well.

At medium settings to high settings, depending on the game.

Not sure if this is offtopic, but can we add something like a list of people benefiting from this list. Many people use this as a reference but new comers will be anxious. Citing examples will show how useful this has been, instill confidence in first timers and also let us know how many have benefited with this.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

Look at me. My first post was "help me build a gaming PC". I have stuck on till now and still posttroll actively :-D
There are many more like me.

Especially when people post their rigs in the *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/overclocking-modding-show-off/45694-post-your-latest-purchase.html thread will also like their name here.

That will go on to show how much this has contributed to everyone. The PC I am typing on now is entirely, till the last bolt, due to everyone out here at TDF and especially this thread.

If this does happen, then I think just the name with a link next to it, taking us either to the *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/overclocking-modding-show-off/45694-post-your-latest-purchase.html thread or to the persons own thread in PC Config section will be more easy to navigate.

indeed, even my very 1st post was on the similar track, tough i haven't bought anything yet :D, aiming for the dozer is going to test my patience

Tough its highly unlikely anyone buying the exact same config mentioned in this guide it will mainly act as a pathway/idea, needs and budgets differ.

Feedback tough, is essential to keep any community/forum running.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

@Jas: Is it possible to add the links of online shop names for each components in the same table which we refer or suggest, not reviews but prices ???? I'm quite sure it gonna help other a lot.

@Sarath: Nice...

But i wonder, people [not referring to you] just don't post their system pics nor post back saying the following thread intention is completed followed by closing the thread.

Now coming to the point, IMO hardly know people refer this thread as a base of their config or for pricing, instead of creating a new one of their own.

If that's the case, then we won't find new thread every hour with different ideas & intention.

May be we can implement in such a way, that OP comes back saying i found the pricing posted here were pretty helpful for a quick referral or the config combo's.

FOR PEOPLE LIKE US THIS THREAD IS JUST ANOTHER REFERENCE, WHICH WE USE TO SUGGEST OTHERS THROUGHOUT THE FOLLOWING MONTH.

As the config suggested here decides the different price categories & are kind of proven configs for the month, from lot of experiences & read reviews....

I didn't look at it with this perspective. Well like everyone else I had created a thread too but since I kept getting different suggestions, this thread was my gold standard. Every time I was confused I would come to this thread and use it as a reference. I have gained a lot from this, I got the KB and Mouse that were in the 100k rig, got a GPU from the 80k rig and my own choice of Monitor etc. Ok enough about me. I am just citing an example.

Also in such a case maybe we should have a separate thread then, in case you are saying that this thread doesn't explicitly help people build their PC without the aid of their own personalised thread.

Like Jas once said when I asked him the same, -people wont buy the suggested system right off the thread. He said he never meant it to be that way and he was providing us a reference guide for convenience from which people can personalise and make their own changes. This does provide a framework for us like you mentioned. So I just suggested that maybe we should add a list of people benefiting from this thread or maybe TDF in general if it is related to this thread in any way (most likely is) :)

Yeah people don't come back I know, but lets have one for ones who stay or atleast post their rigs before leaving.

Phew!

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

^^ as you told, You have followed them quite nicely & some of the best examples like Lordirecto & masterkd also can join this list, but out of 100 we got only a few examples whose purchase was benefited as per the following thread. ???

Rest is on Mod's & Admin's hands...But surely its a nice idea, which can be implemented for a while.

the hawk price is in kolkata, not India :razz:
and also we dont have any online reference to suggest buyers.

wait for G1.Killers for z68. (sniper V2 has only 2 pcie slots). and i will put 2600k.

Maximus doesnt have space left to put sound card when 3 6970 are put ;-)

JSingh: you adding my config to front page?

yes, definitely

@Jas: Is it possible to add the links of online shop names for each components in the same table which we refer or suggest, not reviews but prices ???? I'm quite sure it gonna help other a lot.

the prices are taken from smc and prime and theitwares. we can mention this in start. some prices are standard prices used in forum from past many months :-D.

@all
is it necessary to put sound card with gigabyte g1 killers? that has onboard creative sound. please look into it.

and any more replies on configs?

Cilus confirmed the 560-ti Hawk price from M.D COMPUTERS Kolkata.
Actually they have started online shipping services as well. So anyone can buy from MD computers online.

Lot of TDF forum members have already purchased the hawk and most of them are from kolkata. Currently they haven't updated hawk pricing on their site so you can call them and ask. They ship anywhere in INDIA.

Here's the link.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

is corsair TX 650V2 is enough for GTX 570, previously my friend was gonna buy MSI HD 6950 Twin Frozr II or III PE OC but now his budget increases so he wants MSI GTX 570 TF II OC or TF III PE OC. He preferes nvidia cards more, that's why he isn't going for MSI HD 6970 Lightning.

I think we can have MSI 560 Ti Hawk as a mention in the rigs and since MD Computer products are available online, anyone can buy it. Already a forum members has made online purchase of HD 6750 from M.D.
