Hello fellow members! Its been a long time..
My dept. HOD(Ph.D in aeronautical Engg. IIT, Kanpur) is in need of a PC for research and computation purpose.


1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run?
Ans: Computation & Simulation. Softwares like MATLAB, maple, mathematica, fluent & Gambit.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: Rs.70,000. Can be extended.

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Yes

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Win 7 Ult. 64bit

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1TB+an SSD

6. Do you want to buy a monitor?
Ans: Yes, a decent 21"

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Speakers. I guess we can forget the GPU for now.

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: In a months time.

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: By myself.

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: Open for online shopping.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: He will be running these computation softwares and iterations at the same time. So the PC should have enough juice to munch them.

A gpu will be added later.
Is it possible to squeeze in 4770k with a decent OC'able mobo if the CPU alone is to be assembled for 70k?

Does Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3H has good OCing capabilities(say like 4.8GHz on 4770k with a good cooler) ?

even a very high end water cooling solution will sweat at 4.8Ghz on i7 4770k.You can do 4.2 -4.3Ghz with that cooler, i think. Also going further is not recommended, as the mobo fail on that.

Corsair 200R sells for more than 4K almost everywhere..
Is it better to go for nzxt gamma for 3K?

GA-Z87MX-D3H
or
GA-Z87-D3HP ?

Is asus gryphon z87 a good overclocker? Is it worth the extra 3k compared to GA-Z87MX-D3H ?

I think getting the i5 3570k and overclocking and adding an extra 8gigs of ram will be more helpfull.
Haswell has integrated VRM's hence overclock badly [Even though they are 5-10% more faster in terms of same clock speed, Ivy Bridge is considered better for Overclocking]

Why you are needing an highly overclockable combo for a person who does not have any knowledge of overclocking? Are you going to visit him regularly to setup the overclocking combinations? If yes, then go ahead. Else, get a Non-K 4770 and be safe.

Hello cilus!
Yes I'll be visiting him if OC is required. But the question is can a i7 4770 handle this workload(running all the computation softwares simultaneously) without much sweat and still have room for browsing n watching movies?

Yes, it does. BTW you can also look at Xeon.

others have already given helpful replies so i am giving you this small suggestion.don't go for corsair 200R because bitfenix merc alpha & NZXT Gamma(if you can find one) costs less than 200R & are better in almost every aspect.corsair 300R is the minimum you should look at if buying corsair cabinet.
