Building a gaming rig.[2 lakhs budget]

definitely not this year

I am thinking of getting a membrane keyboard. I like laptop keyboards.

Also what's the difference between WD Red and WD Green?

WD Green is for storage. It offers best GB/Rs. WD Red is for NAS purpose.

6 TB models of both cost almost same :/

Its upto your needs. Also 2TB model of WD Greens is the cheapest 2TB WD Red takes more access time.

 

[sumonpathak]

WD red offers better data protection and storage.
Greens are mainly geared towards low running power while red is for nas environments.

WD Green has high failure rate compared to WD Blue and Black HDD's.

I am comparing WD Green and Red here because only these 2 have 6 TB variants.

First product coming up very soon.

GS 30 unveiled at CES '15

PSU=450W.

MSRP=1999$

Man that messes up my budget.

CPU TDP=47W
Can someone shed light on HDD+2 speakers TDP?

lol wtf 450W only? you cant fit a single 970 in it. Anyways HDDs consume around 5W i guess and speakers are powered externally.

A GTX 980 has a TDP of 165W.
Do you realize how absurd your sentence sounds?

TDP is NOT equal to power consumption. Use this link to calculate recommend PSU wattage for your config.

I can't use that site as the config I am buying has a mobile core i7 CPU and also the different components(RAM) are mobile components which by default use less power. Also, the laptop components can be powered by an additional PSU(laptop charger) which will take care of CPU+RAM+SSDs etc.

So basically, the 450W is solely for GPU,3.5" HDD and Speakers.

Also, reviewers have already run GTX 980 in this config without the secondary PSU(laptop charger) and that too without any bottleneck.

well i had to do clear up stuff with rijinpk about this.. and turns out well it can actually power it excluding other components and all. also there wont be headroom for much upgrade(which you wont be doing anyway) so yeah my sentence was absurd

I want to overclock it. 400W is enough to overclock a 165W GPU don't you think?

i dont think it'd be safe. If you use the laptop charger then you can overclock.

on a side note, why overclock a 980? no sense. it's a beast without overclocking.

for 144Hz 1440p monitor.

 

[adityak469]

for 144Hz 1440p monitor.

once again 144Hz doesnt make sense. 60 is enough IMO but everyone has a choice
and 980 can handle 1440 easily

I am gonna buy GTX 980Ti/TITAN II.

144Hz is so much more smoother. Gonna buy ROG Swift or Acer G-sync 144Hz 1440p.

you better be on a safe side with a good 550w unit. TDP is not actual power consumption!
peace of mind is always better.

Dude that's not something I can change. 450W is the default PSU that comes with the system. I can't change it.
