Well how is i5 4670k compared to i5 4570k?

Any other cabinet with transparent panel. Want to show off among friends :-D

Is it worth to spend another 10k on R9 290x?

About overclocking, I will push it to 4.2ghz.

hmmmm.
you had created a thread in dec 2012, *www.digit.in/forum/pc-components-configurations/166899-need-gaming-rig-120k.html
one in march 2013, *www.digit.in/forum/pc-components-c...efinity-setup-under-150k-180k.html?highlight=
another in dec 2013, *www.digit.in/forum/pc-components-configurations/179827-gaming-pc-120k.html and still hasn't got any of the suggested ones

anyway, for mobo get any z97 based ones. asus SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK 2 at 13.5k looks good. for the cpu, i would suggest to get i5 4690k. overclock it to 4.8ghz with a good liquid cooler like corsair h80i. it justifies the cost you spend on a k series cpu,z97 chipset and a costly cooler. for hdd, opt for wd black.

Adjusting the config for overclocking demands-

Processor	Intel i5 4670k	16,500
CPU Cooler	Corsair H80i	6,600
Motherboard	ASUS SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK 2	14,000
Memory	G.Skill RipjawsX 1600 MHz 4 GB x2	6,000

Monitor still remaining.

4670k won't do much even with liquid coolers(less than 4.5 ghz and that too depends on the CPU) Haswell refresh CPUs are the way to go. I suggest 4690k.

infernal · Jul 6, 2014

What resolution monitor do you want?
Dell's S2240L is good and has been recommended many times.

Jripper · Jul 6, 2014

The H80i is overrated. -_- Its not really that spectacular. Since OP wants to show off, how about a Noctua NH-D14?

Also no ssd in a 1.2L build?
Atleast fit in a Plextor MS5/MS6 128gb. Or even ADATA(Plextor is really good though). They are relatively cheap.

rijinpk1 · Jul 6, 2014

found out this one. Buy Online Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler in India
performance is good, neck to neck with corsair h105/h110.

he is told to wait for new samsung 850 series

Jripper · Jul 6, 2014

Oh I wasn't aware the d15 is out. Is it better than the d14??
The 850 will be expensive. The plextor 128 gb is only 5k

a fast drive backed up with 10 years of warranty. and he will most probably have the budget too.
regarding nhd15, here is a review Noctua NH-D15 Review | techPowerUp.

Get a 120GB Samsung 840 evo SSD, best value for money.

And I think you might want a decent quality 750W PSU. It is recommended if you are going to run a R9 290X or a 290.

Suggest some other liquid cooler in that case. I've suggested to wait for 850 series.

SSD is also great, one you go SSD, you can't go back.

a PC with 120K budget, and it lacks a 780Ti or even a 290X...sad.

There are two thing called 'value for money' and 'not necessarily using full budget'.
