hmm then a FSP SAGA II 500watts ??? i dont understand but a 450 watts PSU is enough for 7870

Its not about the Watts buddy, but the current from the 12V rails that matters. The 12V rail of VS450 provides just 22A and you think that'll be sufficient to OC the 7870? At the same time SeaSonic S12 II 520's 12V rail can provide up to 40A and that's the bare minimum PSU for this rig.

And coming to the case, it is as important as any other performance components. The CM Elite 310 is poor in cooling as well as cable management. In that department NZXT Source 210 Elite wins by miles.

Compromising on these stuff just to grab the 7870 will surely result in an unbalanced rig.

Stick with this:-

Component Make Price
CPU AMD Phenom II 960T 6960
Motherboard Gigabyte MGA-970A-UD3 6600
GPU AMD Radeon HD 7850 15300
RAM G.Skill Ripjaws 4GB DDR3 1550
HDD WD Caviar Blue 500 GB 4300
Case NZXT Source 210 Elite 2400
PSU Seasonic S12 II 520 3770
Monitor Benq G2222HDL 7500
UPS Intex 1KVA 2800
Total 51,370


No need to change this. You may opt for higher capacity HDD if you can/want, but that's about it.

haha guys thanks for discussing these matters :D Helped me a lot reading all those. I have already finalised the config, the quotation will come tomorrow and will order after 3 days. Will get the quotation in the evening. :D

Also, i will go for the 1333MHz RAM as i have read a lot that 1600MHz doesn't give a performance boost at all.

Also, to buy 7870, I have to get better cabinet and better PSU which will extend the budget a lot. HD7850 is more than enough for my needs already.

Thank you all again who made this possible for me. Will update with High-Def pics of rig as soon as I buy it. :D

Unfortunately I didn't get the quotation today, will probably get it tomorrow :( Sunday, i am off to Bathinda for my AIEEE exam and will be updating about the config Monday onwards :) The dealer has specified that he can arrange most of the components I listed him, so if there's something not available, I have to look for alternatives also.

You guys know what? I had bought Battlefield 3 Limited Edition around 3 months back, and haven't played it a single time! :p So I am really really eager to buy my PC in the course of coming 2-3 days coz I can't wait anymore.

Guys buying the following components tomorrow :lol: -

AMD Phenom X4 960T

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3

Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600MHz

WD Blue 500 GB HDD

NZXT Source 210 Elite Still unsure about it Wont buy it 2mrw.

Seasonic S12II-520

Optical Drive --- 1100

KB/Mouse --- 700

Speaker --- 1000


Buying a UPS instead. 1KVA for around 2.5k

Monitor Benq G2222HDL

Sapphire HD7850 2GB

--> I am still not decided on Cabinet. I am NOT getting NZXT ANYWHERE! They say there is no NZXT dealer in North India right now. Checked Delhi based wholesalers also, they don't deal in it. Only options are Cooler Masters and Corsairs.

--> Suggest me a good cabinet. Budget is around 4K. If the investment is NOT worth it, suggest me a cheaper one (I am skeptical about the looks too, so keep that in mind) and I'll buy a CM TX3 Cooler for the rest of my money. The blacklist for Cabinets are - CM 430/431/301/301 Plus. I don't like these cabinets much, totally by seeing their looks. Suggest me a good looking + feature rich like cable management and pre installed fans. NZXT Source 210 was good looking and feature rich, but I can't seem to find it. I am also NOT open to online buying but if their's COD option then I can rethink about it. The cabinets in my mind are Corsair 300R and CM 690 (I dont know how much it costs but my dealer said its in budget, also tell how's it?)

Guys i am not getting a good UPS here. We have a Microtek 1KVA here but it's 3900 here, the 800VA one is 2900. The question is, will it be able to provide some backup to my PC? I just need time to close all the programmes and shut it down.

^^Microtek? Some of our forum members have had bad experience with it I guess, no other brand available?

Unfortunately its microtek everywhere. Can u guys provide a link to that intex 1kva ups so I can buy online? I know the shipping will be costly but still cheaper than buying locally.
