its almost 1.5yr old news..

and these has been incidents where some gamers lost lives by continuous gaming w/o food or water for days in Japan. So a PC can be a killer sometimes, especially gaming PCs.

Thanks for reminding me that. Even a Korean guy died playing continuously for days.The title KILLER GAMING pc has become quite literal now.gx_saurav should see this.:D
By the way dOm1naTOr can you suggest some motherboards supporting ATi. You gave me choices for everything except the motherboard. Thanks for the config:smile:.

bhanja_Trinanjan thanks to you too:)

A 3way SLI is not advisable coz under 3way SLI, the mobo chipset gets extremely hot and you will also need a very high rated PSU like a 1KW.

@bhanja_Trinanjan
ur config wud go much higher that 1.5lac
QX 9770 30k+
790i SLI Ultra mobo : 25k
9800GTX*3 : 60k
1kW Corsair HX: 15k
4GB DDR3 : 15k
2*WD Raptor 320 10k: 20k

So the budget exceeded even w/o a monitor nd some other major components.

A better rig under his budget wud be
Q6700 or Q9450 : 12k or 13k

Abit IX38 Quad GT : 11k
or Abit IP35 Pro : 9.4k

2*2GB DDR2 800 G skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ : 6.2k

8800GT*2 MSI : 24k
or HD 3870 X2: 22k
or use ur current 7900 nd wait

X-Fi Xtreme Audio: 4.2k
Logitecg G-51 5.1: 11k


rest u can sum it up from previously given config
 
get an alienware :razz:
too little VFM.

I can get an alienware 1.5 lakhs like rig minus some of those looks for 70k.

anywya, here is the rig:


Choice of mobos:

Asus P35 + splashdot based mobo
Abit IP35-Pro
Abit IX38 based mobo
Intel SkullTrail

Choice of RAM:


crosair or OCZ DDR2 1066 or DDR3 1333 MHz RAM, atleast 4 GB

Choice of HDD

1. WD Raptor or similar 80 GB high RPM HDD for gaming, etc
2. Normal 7200 RPM 1TB HDD for storage

Choice of Cabinet:


zeberonics gaming cabinets
they are just 1k to 2k and look to kill

Choice of GPU


keep 8800GT/HD 3870 single for now
buy SLI 9800 GT or CrossFire HD4870 in a few months when they arive
or get the GX2 version of nVidia's 9800GT, or X2 version of ATi's 4870

Choice of Optical Drive

DVD-RAM drive is enough for now
get Light Scribe
get 24x SATA

Choice of OS

get Gentoo Custom, Windows Vista Ultimate or Macintosh OSX as OS

Choice of Keyboard


Logitech G15

Choice of Mouse

Logitech gaming lazer mice; choose one according to features

Choice of CPUs

no choice here; just get Core2Quad Q9450
get two if going for skull trail platform

Choice of Monitor


look at Dell monitors. They are awssome.
get one the right size for you.

Choice of Speakers

Creative Inspire 5.1 are the default cheap but great speakers these days
get something else if you have money to spare

Choice of Cooling

get some decent air cooling to keep such a heavy rig cool

Choice of PSU

very important for a high end rig
get a high rating one
don't buy no name brands
allot atleast around 5k for this
try Cooler Master or something

Choice of ****

If I forgot something, ask now

And once again thank you dOm1naTOr and MetalheadGautham

MetalheadGautham you said Mac OS X as OS. Are you pointing towards that "kalyway mac os x" :eek:

I wanted to know if it is always necessary to apply thermal paste. Because most of the guys assembling PC in here don't use it.:confused:

Get DVDRWs from different brands so if some disc has sompatibility issue, the other drive can help u. Get a Samsung or an Asus.

And i think Logitech G11 keyboard at 4k will be better than the MS Reclusa.

And Lotitech Z5300e has been discontinued. If u are lucks u can find one stock on some store.
Also consider a good CPU cooler, and thermal paste like MX-2.

And the ny gud speakers[10k+] will sound dumb w/o a sound card. Gte atleast the Creative X-FI Xtreme Audio for 4k or X-FI Xtreme Gamer which might be some 3~4k more expensive.

BTW, MSI 9600GT comes for 9k. U can get two of them in SLI for 18k.

@newneo
BTW, y waste money on a 9600GT now if u already have a 7900GT to hold the horses till next month ?
A 7900GT performance lies b/w an 8600GTS and 9600GT. Dun waste money now, instead go for HD 4870/X2 next month.

I suggest u to put the good money for a more powerful PSU like Corsair HX 620 for 6.5k or get a Seventeam from US.

I will buy my rig in mid july( 08 ). So I can wait wait till then. But if I buy the HD 4870/X2 won't I need a different mobo.:confused: Please suggest one nice mobo for HD 4870/X2. Thanks

Try to get 16 gb ram:eek:

Thats the one that Adobe recommends to graphic designers who use photoshop.

Obviously your PC should be better than what some graphic designer uses.

HD 4870 nd X2 will work on any mobo with even a single PCIE or 2.0. The crossfire controller is integrated on card's pcb itself, so no need for a crossfire or crossfireX mobo.
However in future if u wanna add another 4870X2 for a quadcrossfire with crossfireX, then ull need a crossfireX mobo.
Single 4870 X2 dual GPU one will work on nforce mobos too.

Awesome configurations..
If you still have money left after buying the hardware, then spend them on original OS and games software if you get what I meant. :D

Of course. I've already bought Adobe Design Premium, Max, Maya and Corel Draw and I'll buy Toon Boom next, since I'm an animation student. Can't rely on pirated softwares:cool:. And for the games, I buy all my games from e-bay, I get nice deals. Genuine, sure:smile:.

Hey guys after techtronic mentioned Dell PowerEdge Server I went to there site and saw the configs. It was cool. I mean two Quad Core Xeon Processors...wow. Just wanted to know if those motherboard would support the graphics cards you guys suggested. :confused:

I'm not kidding. I have this Photoshop book written by some chap who works for Adobe themselves. And he's gone on to describe how Photoshop behaves with 2GB, 4GB, above 4GB and 16GB RAM.

Then he coolly mentions that any serious graphic designer should at least have 16GB ram with 2 Core2Duos or a QuadCore Processor. And I used some of his tutorials on my 256mb machine:eek:

And they worked:D

Thomas Knoll, I bow to you me man.

Thanks for the config. But is this motherboard good. Why didn't ASUS or Gigabyte manufacturing such boards(supporting two types of RAM). :confused:
