Memory corsair vengeance @ 6000 (2 x 4GB 1600Mhz)
Case spec 01 @ 3500 Any cheaper cases than this??
GPU R9 270x @14000 flipkart (14k is the max i can afford for a GPU, if there's something better at similar price, please tell me)

CPU Cooler not planning to overclock for 1-2 months atleast
Speaker Creative SBS A335 Multimedia Speakers (2.1 Channel) 1700

Thanks for the reply bro bt why this AMD config ?? Is this really better than the Intel config ? And how? Would be better if you can explain
Also would I really need the seasonic 620, 520 won't be enuf?
And where did u get r9 270x fr 13750?? Cox there are too many variants on flipkart and the cheapest i could find was 14100

 

[rijinpk1]

i5 4440 - 11k
gigabyte b85m d3h - 5.3k
kingston hyperx fury 2 x 4gb - 5.5k /corsair vengeance /gskill ripjawsx
sapphire r9 280x vaporx - 23k
samsung 840 evo 120gb - 5k / 250gb - 9.5k
seasonic s12ii 520 - 4.8k
antec gx900 - 4.5k

this rig is much better than the one with 270x for gaming although you sacrifice overclockability.
dont forget monitor later. otherwise 280x will be a waste for 13660X768.

All your config is good.
I would Suggest:
PSU - Corsair VS650 - 650 Watt. Its 3.8k on Flipkart.
Motherboard - I would say take a look at ASRock z87 Killer @ 13k
And yes GO for Intel . Its any day better.

 

[adityak469]

overclocking won't do much, so skip that part.

Go with this -

i5 4440 - 11k
Gigabyte B85 D3H - 5.5k
Sapphire R9 290 Tri X - 32k
Corsair 300R - 4.5k
Samsung EVO 128GB - 5k
Seasonic S12II - 5.5k
Kingston HyperXBlu 4GB - 2.7k

Total ~65k

Go with this. This is a superb config. If this is too much for you, skip the SSD and but locally, it'd come within the budget.

Corsair VS sucks. MSI Mate is a better option than the ASRock one as its super cheap. and

And yes GO for Intel . Its any day better.

any specific reasons? or is it just fanboyism?

 

[gangar123]

+1 for adityak469 config

Go with r9 290 tri x its really awesome for gamming... m using it

Skip ssd bt go for r9 290 tri-x

Also don't buy anything from prime abgb...they are selling same products with high price tag....with no discounts

Go to cassette world, mac it solutions, cybersides.... They will give you good discount at final price...

> If you already have HDD then go with ssd 120gb from samsung 840 evo.
> Go with 8gb ram {4gb x 2} as games like watchdogs have 6gb recommended requirements. Although 4gb can work too.
> Go with Antec PSU cause seasonic S12II 520w is said to be having issues with APC UPS as I don't know what brand UPS you are having. If you are having pure sinewave ups then you can go with seasonic PSU
> Sell your old monitor if you are planning to buy new one. get some extra cash and go with 24" inch or get a better GPU like gtx 760 or r9 280

You will save money if you buy locally from lamington road but go only with the components mentioned on this forum as they will try to pitch other parts incase something is unavailable.
Buy GPU from flipkart ws retail if the price difference locally and online is only a couple of hundreds as ws retail gives an offer of few games too so incase you don't have it. Its a good deal.

i am not a hardcore gamer and dont see a point investing 30k+ in a gpu (not saying r9 290 tri-x is not good, bt i do not NEED it )

i visited some local shops to get an idea the component's prices, this is what i was quoted(though the shopkeeper said he has a shop in lamington too and rates will more or less be same ):

i5 4400 + gigabyte B85M-D3H ~ 16,500
Corsair Vengeance 4GB x 2 ~ 5800
WD 1TB Blue ~ 3700
AOC i2269VWM ~ 8200
Sapphire R9 270x- 13900
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB ~ 5000

Could not decide not a cabinet they say once i tell them a particular cabinet, he'll ask around and tell me its rate

Seasonic psu not available
read somewhere in this forum that the antec 550 V2 has some issues
I have a intex style 600VA UPS, if I have a microtech inverter and it can provide backup to the pc, is the UPS still needed?? do i have to buy a new UPS?

I have 2 WD HDD, one is 500GB , other 160GB
Also I have 2-3 offers for my old desktop for about 10-12k, but i'm in two minds whether to sell or not

Once, i'm sure what to do exactly, i'll go to lamington to buy stuff, so hope the prices there would be cheaper

 

[rijinpk1]

budget for cabinet? it is really a good price for the monitor. antec vp550p v2 is better on hardware. that means it uses highly reliable japanese caps, whereas vp550p do not have that. but the total output power of 444w on 12v is really low for a 550w unit in case of v2.but for your config, vp 550 v2 is enough and it may last long too. a ups is recommended. if you have a inverter a spike protection will do the job , i think.

What do u mean abt the psu ?? I didnt get u . Which one shud I buy, I was thinking of ordering seasonic s12II 520 online, bt its costly on most sites
Also have a spike guard.
Budget for the case will be 4k but I'll have to ditch the speaker. But the aoc monitors have built in speakers which should do the job for a while plus I have jbl in hear headphones too.

I saw some Nzxt case online ,around 4k but forgot the model no and it was not the Nzxt 4440

 

[rijinpk1]

edited!. get seasonic if budget permits you. else antec vp550p v2 is also fine. have alook at antec gx700/gx900.

Check out at lamington for seasonic PSU or else order it online. There won't be much price difference in the pricing of seasonic psus I guess.

If you are not using your old pc then sell it and increase your budget for GPU, it will provide better future proofing and you will be able to play gfx intensive games at fhd at better fps for a longer duration of time.
Go for 280x /280 /760

 

[faraazbh]

hello guys, i'm about to buy this config from my local dealer:

intel i5 4590 ~ 13600
gigabyte h87m-d3h ~ 7200
Corsair vengence 4gbx2~5950
WD 1TB Green ~ 3600/1tb seagate barracuda ~3500 (1tb wd blue not available from this dealer)
Sapphire r9 270x-144000
Circle Cabinet CC 821~ 3100
corsair vs550W ~3400/vs650W ~4800
TOTAL= 51k

and he's ready to assemble the pc

for the psu, he said Seasonic service center is not in mumbai and will give problems, same for antec
he said go for Corsair psu(1st option) as corsair give direct replacement and 2nd option as cooler master


Also the 1TB WD blue is available from another dealer @ 3500 and he's ready to sell kingston hyperx 4gb x2 @5400
am i getting a good deal here?? seagate service center is 15 mins from where i stay . What do i do??

 

[SaiyanGoku]

^ get the blue from other dealer or baracuda from the previous one. Instead of r9 270x, get r9 280x (total still within your budget of 60k)

 

[faraazbh]

okay got that.. what about psu??? suggest a good psu from corsair or cooler master.
the dealer said take vs550 coz its better than cx series (cx psu has problems he said)
but from what i read here in forums even vs550 is low quality.
but i dont knw any good psu from corsair and cooler master
he said corsair provides direct replacement in case of problems
HELPP
