Need a Gaming PC , Budget ~ 80K

[WILDLEGHORN]

I think I will look for an HDMI monitor, because I could use it as a TV too in the living room.

I am looking for something sub 10k with ~20-21 inch size, which one do you have?

Just wanted to let you know that the Zotac gtx 670 Amp! edition gfx card just went out of stock from mdcomputers
ZOTAC GTX 670 AMP EDITION

I wanted to buy the same card from mdcomputers as well, but to my bad luck now it says "Availability: PreOrder" & now I don't know when they will restock it...

I wanted to buy it so badly & only mdcomputers had this particular Amp! edition card
Just last night it was in stock...I bookmarked it but today it's availability is set on preorder

I know man...
I sent them one too about 6 hours ago...
Hope they bring it quickly in stock & more importantly set it as "available"
Zotac's gtx 60 Amp! Edition cards are the fastest 670 cards as of now & at 30k it was a pure steal

I'm keeping my fingers crossed

Pretty rare card too. I don't think any other online stores have stocked this even in the past.

My biggest fear is that it comes back without the 18% discount, now for 36k.

The 670 amp stats and you guys fussing over it is making me very

The 670 amp stats and you guys fussing over it is making me very

but why?

 

[sumonpathak]

don't u guys think 670 is a huge overkill for 22 inch?

 

[Myth]

but why?

Its a great card for the price and I feel like buying it just for the heck of it

don't u guys think 670 is a huge overkill for 22 inch?

Yep. a 24" 1080p would be nice and a high freq.

 

[WILDLEGHORN]

don't u guys think 670 is a huge overkill for 22 inch?

22" doesn't really matter because all that's really gonna matter in digital world is the resolution which in OP's case is 1080p...

Yes granted that 22" is a bit short for a PC gaming monitor (at least for my liking anyway)

But we got new games coming in like Metro: Last Light, Crysis 3, MOH-Warfighter, etc...
and as time passes we're gonna see much more demanding games running at higher graphics @ 1080p

I'm really looking forward to the overclocked Zotac 670 Amp! because of the Unreal Engine 4 games that are gonna come out & they will look gorgeous

I was thinking the same earlier but then I realized I could hook the CPU up with my HD LED TV too for gaming. Besides it looks like it has massive advantage performance wise over my 2nd option the HD 7870 for just 6-7k extra. And hopefully it can serve well for atleast 2 years.

From a philosophical point of view too I would rather have an overkill than an underpowered one. I haven't had a decent gaming PC ever. Earlier I had an HP with a Nvidia 7600m, it got fried, evidently due to a manufacturing problem, but was out of warranty period. Now I have a 6770m on a laptop, always have to play on low-medium on demanding games, that too after tweaking inis and configs. Plus it overheats to 85+ temperatures so I have to stop intermittently or turn off even more features for the CPU. Now that I finally have a decent amount of money with me, I want to have a system just to have the satisfaction of clicking on Ultra High and enjoying the game. So build a good gaming rig once and for all(or for atleast 2-3 years )

 

[sumonpathak]

whats the resolution of ur HDTV?
don't think it would be more than 1080P...
buying a card just for the heck of it is stupid.

It's 6k costlier than my 2nd option 7870, easily beats it and even the 7970 in most tests, and I believe it will handle all games for atleast 2 years (in other words atleast 1 year longer than the 7870). Doesn't seem like a bad deal for 6k.

Zotac's official website has a list of official zotac retailers. I am going through them right now to see if any of them have the 670 AMP in stock. You guys do the same and share with the rest if you find one in stock.


UPDATE
I am in the final stages and about to place the order.I am thinking of buying whatever I can from just 1 site, Flipkart seems to have almost every component. I have summarised my final problems:

1. Should I get a motherboard out of these, which one and why?

2. The PSU,don't want to take any chances. What's the difference in these two, which one to get? Is the 6k one equally good?

OR

Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular TX650M - 80 PLUS Bronze Certified 650 Watt PSU | Psu | Flipkart.com

3. Cabinet: Corsair 400R is out of stock. Is there an alternative (ON FLIPKART) in the similar price range that has sufficient fans and cable management?

4. I have also decided to add a Optical drive with a DVD writer and a wireless card. Any suggestions or can I go with any generic ones? Also, is a USB wireless adapter as good as a PCI one?

5. Lastly, do I need thermal paste for the CPU? Anything else you reckon I would need to build the PC myself?

If I can get the solutions to ^ these problems, I think I can get everything from Flipkart alone within a week. Again, appreciate the help so much.

 

[N@m@n]

1. Get M Pro as it is simply better than others
2. The 6k one is perfectly fine. The main difference is V2 is non modular. Hence it would require cable management.
3. BitFenix Shinobi Window/ Lancool K62 /Corsair 300R
4. Optical drive you can choose Asus.
5. Well it comes with CM 212 Evo.. If u r buying it. or else buy it for 300 bucks.

 

[Myth]

FK doesnt have p8z77-m pro in stock which is why they state the delivery time as 6-8 business days. But its the best in the lot.
Take the cm evo. It includes the thermal paste.

1) i think you should try to find the mobo i suggested locally since it has wifi as well

2) 650 tx v2 is enough

3) Don't know.

4) ASUS

5) No. Comes with hyper 212

3. Corsair Carbide Series 400R Graphite grey and black Steel ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case

 

[Aesir]

@sharanhg.D Yep I am looking for it in the local shops but if I can't find it by tomorrow, I'm getting this one, the m-pro
ASUS P8Z77-M PRO Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com


Finally, my only doubt is regarding the cabinet.

^ Thanks for the link Sainatarajan, but I can get the Corsair 300R from FlipKart at 0 shipping charges.
From what I've read, the only difference btw 300 and 400r is:

1) 1 less fan
2) No rubber grommets (what purpose do they serve btw)
3) No firewire port
4) Smaller dimensions
5) Doesn't come with the internal USB 3.0 converter, what does this mean?

Any other disadvantages you think the 300r might have?

 

[Myth]

1. Two front fans are good.
2. Grommets are for wire management.
3. Depends on your usage/requirements.
4. Bigger cases are good for ventilation. Sometimes installing a heatsink can leave you short of space or worse might not fit.
5. The front usb ports are 3.0. If you mobo doesnt have usb3.0 then to use the front ports you need to convert 2.0 to 3.0.

# Going by FK prices, for 500 bucks more, the 400r is a better deal.

 

[sharang.d]

In which city do you stay?

 

[Aesir]

In which city do you stay?

I live in a village. Yangpa in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. Nearest city is Shimla (260 km of mountain roads) where I will get the items shipped to my brother there. Only thing the local dealers might have there are the i5 2500k, monitor and motherboard. I have had a few friends order from Flipkart and eBay before to Shimla, thats why I feel like I should be getting most of the stuff from FK.

# Going by FK prices, for 500 bucks more, the 400r is a better deal.

But the 400R is out of stock on FK, its available on theitwares.com for Rs. 5750 (incl shipping). Not sure if this is worth getting or I should rather go with the corsair 300R (in stock on FK for 4500) OR some other cabinet.
I am ordering tonight, so far going with the 300R.

UPDATE: fml Flipkart just increased the cost of ZOTAC 670 AMP from 31.5 k to 34.7 k in front of my eyes wtf?
