Man, that is an impressive collection! Thanks a lot for the link! Personally, i like the MDPC:043 and the Unique Edelweiss builds better. The CD slot on the Murderbox is just beautiful! I'm not even gonna attempt to find out the prices of these.. i won't be able to handle the disappointment! -...

Thank you!

Hello! Thought i'd share some info about my latest purchases. They were for a PC upgrade i did recently. Here are the components : AMD FX8350 : Rs. 13409 Corsair Hyper 212X : Rs. 2936 Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 Motherboard : Rs. 11890 Kingston HyperX FURY Memory DDR3 8 GB x2 : Rs. 10200 Samsung...

:) The Phanteks Enthoo series look quite cool as well.. Too bad it's so difficult to see these babies in India.

Lol! Why's that?!

Update : Managed to get hold of an NZXT Phantom 410. It's not Gunmetal Grey, but i can get used to the red.. Reminds me of a Ferrari everytime i look at it! Cable management still not as neat as i would've liked, but had to make do for now since my PSU isn't modular. Anyway, it's definitely...

Well, it turns out that none of the Carbide Spec series can house the hyper 212x.. :( The Thermaltake Versa doesn't seem to be available anywhere, and the Antec GX 700 is over 4k.. But that's not the main issue.. i happened to come across this beauty : The NZXT Phantom 410.. I think i'm in...

Glad you all liked the pics! Thanks again for helping me build it.. - - - Updated - - - I really like the layout of the Tesseract, but it doesn't look very impressive form the outside (personal opinion, no offence!) I came across the Corsair Carbide Spec 01, and i like the way it...

Hello all, Just thought i'd post an update. I managed to put together my first PC build, and i'm feeling pretty pleased with myself! Thanks a lot everyone for providing me with encouragement and tips along the way. Here are the final parts that went into the build : After attaching the CPU...

Thanks a lot for those.. sorry i couldn't reply sooner, got caught up with work. Will update soon..

Could u possibly share the link to that? i'm trying in vain to find it..

Ok, i've made up my mind! Decided to go with the AMD build. Hope it's extra cores work well wtith the multi threading optimization of 3D applications, and translate to decent performance at the end of the day! Total cost works out to Rs 32640, without the cooler. Will wait and see if i need...

No apology reqd! It's actually 6k over my actual budget, whereas the AMD build would sit comfortably at 30k.. And the link worked, it's just that i'm not familiar with Vedant, that's all. Do they deliver in b'lore? Still trying to figure out if the FX8350 build would still make sense today...

:banghead: So, you're saying that if there's no real price difference, then i should go for the 4670? In that case, should i go for an Asus z97-A board instead of the K? Remember, i'm not going to be doing any overclocking if i can help it, i'm just selecting overclockable boards because they...

Ok, so i've decided to bite the bait and try an AMD build this time. Hope it won't give me too much trouble! These are the parts i've decided on: Thought i'd go for the M5a99fx pro, since this mobo was apparently designed specifically for the FX8350, whereas the M5a97fx has to be updated...

"A FX 8350 competes with an i7 for you needs" : Are you referring to a 4th gen i7 or a 2nd/3rd gen? I would like my build to last the next ~5 years. Given that the FX8350 is already a little long in the tooth, only marginally outperforms an i5 4670k in heavily multithreaded applications, and...

Man, I almost wish you hadn't suggeted AMD.. I've been going over reviews of the 8350 these last 2 days, and my head hurts! Basically, these are my concerns about the FX 8350: 1. It is an old chip.. (2011?) 2. It is power hungry. (I'm not worried about my electricity bill that much, but more...

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.') Ans: 3D Modeling & rendering (3ds Max/Maya/ZBrush), Image Editing...

Oops! Thanks for pointing that out.. looks like i should've paid more attention before posting. Will re-post in the proper section. Thanks for the input!
