57K Budget for a New PC

[SKAR3KRO]

for case get betfenix merc alpha or cooler master elite 311.

He specifically asked for usb 3 cabinets! Elite 311 does not have any usb 3 ports. Merc alpha usb 3 one cost 3.5k
for 2.5k, V1 is teh best choice.

@OP Get a intel build.just like @bavusani suggested with some tweaks that i can make plus it wud perform a lot better and plus ur not overclocking so no use of FX and plus intel 3rd gen cpus just rip apart even a FX8350 in photoshop FX-8350 vs. Core i5-3470 CPU Review | Hardware Secrets

^^ Don't post same config in each and every thread. And why are you suggesting Ivy Bridge Processors everywhere where Haswell Processors are available at the same price range with slight better performance and better upgrade option in future?

for psu, get antec vp450p/seasonic s12 ii 520.
for ups, apc 600va should be fine.

thank you Rijin.
I'm actually looking for a cabinet with USB3 front ports.
Bitfenix usb3 version is out of my budget.
Antec V1 is the one fits under my budget.

for UPS, is there any other brand which I can look for ?

If you are not overclocking then you can go with these instead:

Intel i5 3450 -11800,
Gigabyte H77M-D3H -6600,
Zotac GTX650 Ti Boost 2GB -13500,
Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600MHz -2600,
WD Blue 1TB -4200,
Asus 24B5ST DVD-RW -1100,
Antec V1 (White)-2700,
Dell S2240L -8900,
Seasonic SII420 -3600,
Logitech Z313 2.1 speakers -2200,
APC 800VA or 1.1KVA -5500.
TOTAL -60360.

Come on Bro.. being an AMD user, you are recommending an Intel rig. I must rethink the options, I guess.
btw, do you think 420W PSU will be enough to drive this set-up ?

thank you for sharing the link.. I'm reconsidering my options now.
could you please let me know the tweaks you mentioned on bavusani's suggestion ?

Just because of the budget, bro.

HI.
These are my tweaks-

i5 3450 @11k
Gigabyte B75m-d3h @4.5k
Kingston Hyperx 4Gb 1600mhz @2.3k
WD caviar blue 1tb @4k
Antec V1 @2.5k
Sapphire or HIS 270X 2GB @15k
Corsair cx500v2 @3.5k
Asus 24x dvd rw @1k
Dell s2240l Fhd 22" @9k

P.s. - dont spend too much on speakers, u should always concentrate on the main components, speakers and other accessories u can change anytime but not the main components.

Anyone here using Luminous UPS ?

> I'd prefer MErc Alpha. K281 is not at all good IMHO.

> APC 600 VA will be perfect.

 

[rijinpk1]

Poor cable management functionalities. It's not worth the price.

thanks Harshil..
I am planning to go for Merc Alpha.

I bought that last month from snapdeal. They had some 5% off..
But, you missed a great chance.. Snapdeal was having 10% cash back for citibank credit cards, which expired last Sunday.
you would've got it for 8145 (9050 - 10% (905)). Even I should've waited..

 

[raviTy]

Damn!
I'll wait for the Citibank one then, i'm getting a new credit card from it..

 

[pkkumarcool]

damn i saw 2 days ago in snapdeal @8.4k didnt order with 10# off it would have been 7kish.
