Building a Gaming PC

[Kushal1990]

Guys, I am still stuck on which cabinet to get? I don't need a side windowed for sure, but it needs to have nice air cooling.
Also, the graphics card I am going with should be installed properly (GTX 980 Ti which is approx. 13 inches long).
So, I may be going for the following config:
CPU: i7 4790k
Motherboard: ASUS
RAM: Gskill or Corsair (8gb x 2)
GPU: Zotac GTX 980 Ti Amp Extreme Edition
SSD: 250/500gb not yet decided which one
Monitor: ASUS PG279q
Also, please suggest appropriate PSU to run the above config and few good models of ASUS motherboards will help me choose.

[MENTION=105611]bssunilreddy[/MENTION] I liked Corsair Carbide 500R more than 300R. In terms of CPU cooler, how about Cooler Master Hyper 212X?
Also, is 620W PSU enough? Also help me choose between Zotac GTX 980 Ti Amp Extreme Edition or ASUS STRIX DC3OC ?

Good then go with Corsair 500R and CM Hyper 212X CPU Cooler.
620w PSU is more than enough. Go with either Zotac (2+3 Years warranty upon registration within 30 days) or Asus Strix (3 Years warranty). Its your choice. Asus GPU runs somewhat Cooler than others.

[MENTION=105611]bssunilreddy[/MENTION]. Thanks for your inputs bro. How about these two PSU'S:
1. Seasonic 750W Power Supply (SS-750JS)
2. Cooler Master B Series B700 700W Power Supply (RS700-ACAAB1-UK)
Are they any good?

Can you also tell me some parts which I could cut out? Its going way beyond my budget!!!:eeksign:

About the monitor, Why dont you look for some Korean brand, used ones (1440p and 27") come for cheap, about 13k on ebay. Some one from our forum has even bought one. Im not sure about his name, he has a batman wallpaper on his monitor . Be careful about the dead pixels, but it should be fine. Others suggestion on my posts would be even helpful.

For Power supply, go for Seasonic ones, they are very good and recommend here.

the one bssunil suggests in his earlier post(by seasonic) is much better.

[MENTION=146650]nikhilsharma007nikx[/MENTION] thanks for your quick reply. But, I need a GSync monitor. Speaking of PSU's, which other companies are reliable?

Just take a look at those monitors. Gsync costs a fortune, even for that budget spending much on such things isn't recommend, build a stable and well balanced PC first, monitor comes secondary.
For PSUs, there are complaints from all of the manufacturers nowadays, so it's better to stick to a trusted brand like seasonic which has been into quite a lot of builds here on the forum.

But, since I am buying GTX 980 Ti, G-Sync would look better, won't it? Or should I wait till Christmas? Till then the prices will drop a little.

I'm saying, dont buy the Gsync one now and get a cheaper IPS panel or even that Korean one. This will enable you to get the most of a gaming PC from your budget. Invest on the tower alone. And then you can invest more as you get bigger bucks next time on the monitor. G sync ones are hard to source and exp.

Thanks guys. Can anybody tell me whether I should get a motherboard with 8+2 power phase?

 

[Kushal1990]

Guys, I contacted my local vendor and he said that Asus PG279Q is not available anywhere in India. So, he will have to place an order with Asus in Taiwan. Will get it two weeks later. Is it true? Can anyone tell me if its available in India within 70k?
