I am currently analyzing to get a desktop within 85k. I have managed to decide on these components so far. I would like you to suggest me any changes that I need to do inorder for me to keep the config within my budget.
The config is as follows.
Processor: Intel Core i5 Sandy Bridge 2400 CPU @ ~9.7k
Mobo: Asus P8P67 @ ~10.4k
CPU cooler: CoolerMaster V6 GT @ ~4.8k
RAM: Gskill ripjaws 2x1GB 1333 F3-10600CL9S-2GBNT *2 @ ~3k
GPU: ASUS HD6950 2GB GDDR5 @ ~20K
HDD: Seagate 500GB 7200.12 @ ~1.8k
PSU: Glacialtech GP AX 950 AA ( 950W ) Modular @ ~7.9k
Cabinet: CoolerMaster 690 II Plus with side-window @ ~5k
Monitor: DELL Ultrasharp U2311H @ ~13.7k
Keyboard: Logitech G110 @ ~3.3k
UPS: APC 1000VA @ 5k
DVD Drive: LG 22X SATA DVD @ 0.9k
Total ~ 85.5k
I do not need a mouse as I already have a G500. I also have my old Creative speakers, but I use earphones almost 99% of the time.
I do want to go for a Sandy Bridge configuration, as I think it is more future proof than Nehalam based processors.
I am unsure of the mother board as I am not sure if it will be compatible with CM V6 GT, so any suggestion on that will help a lot. Also is there any motherboards that will give same or better performance at this price range?
The PSU seems like an over kill, but I also feel that a modular power supply will help a lot in having a organised cabinet. Is there any PSU that will offer modularity in the same price range?
I seriously would like to know if I should go for a cabinet with side window. Performance is more important to me than looks. So please let me know if adding a fan on the side will enhance air flow, or just create a turbulance in the cabinet?
The monitor seems to be the most difficult decision. I need a monitor that will be HD of 1080p. Also I do not want a small monitor that will cause excessive eye strain. I also found a few Samsung monitors that were 24" and only costs 10k, which I seriously doubt its performance.
I would like to know the performance of G110 keyboard. Some people tell that it does not type smooth, is it true?
Do any one know how to hook up a Secondary cell to the UPS so that it can provide atleast 2 hours of stand by? Or going for some company based back up power is better?
I do not plan to overclock in the near future. I may over clock depending up on upgradation that I might go for in future.
I intend to use this computer for intense gaming, lots of reading, and working on network simulation softwares, linux and windows server OS.
