that is why i edited the bill to show no. of units consumed and amount to be paid.
we are 4 members in the family.



you should wait before you sell your pc. keeping so many things on freezer will increase electricity by a lot. i think you should tell your mom not to keep so many things on freezer and also run the fridge for 15 hrs or less. try to do it for atleast a month or two. then check your electricity bill for any possible reduction in cost.

OK.I will request my mother to do that for a couple of months to see if the power bills come down or not.

It generally depends on each State Electricity Board. My state always have deficit in power production and the end result is higher rates per unit.

Lmao:rofl:
CHanging to intel from fx due to power bills ..
U rig is perfect re except gpu

First bro you should get your house electric wiring n appliances checked by a good electrician & take notes to save power bills.
By putting on syska/halonix led bulbs instead of cfl..
Don't simply put 55k for a new rig just put on r9 280 asus dc2 for 23k njoy bf4 /blacklist ..

Is it best to upgrade to a Haswell Gaming Laptop around 1lac by selling my present RIG or go for Haswell Build instead of my present AMD Build. I am seeing advantages like portability in case of a Laptop but disadvantages of not able to upgrade my GPU & CPU after say 2-3 years in the future.
What is best for me a k series CPU or non k series CPU. After 2 years in order to be compatible with then gaming requirements whether k series CPU can be overclocked to meet those requirements or not is my main query?

Buddy, just upgrade the graphic card and you and good to go. Also, as many have suggested, get your house wiring and meter checked.

How about these 2 below configs. Please mention which 1 should I go for because of lower TDP CPU & GPU :

Option 1:
Intel Core i5 4670K -16100,
Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3H -9500,
Sapphire R9 270X 2GB Dual-X -15600,
Corsair Vengeance Red 8GB 1600 MHz -5200,
Corsair H60 2013 Edition -4300,
Coolermaster 120mm 4 XtraFlo RED LED fans -2800,
Coolermaster 140mm 2 BC RED LED fans -1500,
TOTAL -55,000.

Option2:
AMD FX 6300 -7500,
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 -12500,
Sapphire R9 270X 2GB Dual-X -15600,
Corsair Vengeance Red 8GB 1600 MHz -5200,
Corsair H60 2013 Edition -4300,
Coolermaster 120mm 4 XtraFlo RED LED fans -2800,
Coolermaster 140mm 2 BC RED LED fans -1500,
TOTAL -49,400.

If I want even lower power consumption then I need to go for Zotac GTX650 Ti Boost 2GB for 12500.

I am also seeing future proofing for another 3-4 years at max and 2-3 years at min. That's why there is the change in MB & GPU as well buddy.

So you will just replace the cpu, motherboard, graphic card and cabinet?

Intel Core i5 4670K -16100
Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3H -9500
Sapphire R9 270X 2GB Dual-X -15600
NZXT Phantom 410 (~6000)

No not the cabinet.I already have Corsair 300R cabinet but just fans as my present Deepcool fans are very noisy buddy. I am changing the Corsair H60 because it is old version and I want the new 2013 Edition which has a very easy fitting heatsink design.I already have 8GB Corsair Vengeance Red RAM.Do I need another 8GB for the upcoming games or the present 8GB is enough, Please suggest buddy.

Alright then sell the old parts and get this. ANd 8 GB RAM is enough.

i am not sure if you will get significant power savings by getting this rig but well it should be greater than Rs.200 per month.

Sorry to jump in. Is there nothing like intel speedstep technology counterpart for fx series processors which can allow easy undervolting. It reduces power consumption considerably on my i7 laptop. Processor running at 70% has almost doubled the battery life

Um,bavusani,three questions-
Why AMD-->Intel?I understand all your points about performance and power consumption,but if you can afford the whole expenditure of switching over for not a massive performance jump,then you should be able to foot a 3k electricity bill..Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.:)
The GPU of your current rig,isn't it bottlenecking your processor at 1080p?My 6850 used to and CPU usage was at 30-40% in windows task manager.Now,I have a R9 280X and cpu and gpu usage have balanced themselves somewhat.Again,correct me if I am wrong. :)

My suggestions for your rig :

AMD FX 8320 : 0
ASUS M5A99X(See below) : 11790
Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X : 23000
Corsair H60 (current) : 0
fans : 4300
-----------
total : 39090

I do not know anything about motherboards so I picked one that just looked good.Anyone is free to replace my choice of Motherboard.Though even with 55k,I have left room for a better choice of motherboard though I fail to see how with an air cooler,the overclocking room of his motherboard is increased.Afaik,Better motherboard=Higher overclocks=More heat produced=More effective cooling?
In case,you are having issues with your H60 not cooling enough,and want to go for a better air cooler ,the total (with Hyper 212 Evo) is 41890.But I do not know the overclocking headroom you would gain with air cooling.
Click to expand...

i agree, i would suggest a gpu update, the cooler master hyper 212 evo and the fans. put the rest of the money in the bank and save it for a rainy day

Hi bavusani,well,since you are adamant about changing the processor/mobo,how about this build-
Intel Core i5 4670K -16100,
Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3H -9500,
Sapphire R9 280X 3GB Dual-X -23000,
Cooler Master R4-LUS-07AB-GP Cooler -1265(The 10AB-GP is out of stock on Flipkart)
Cooler Master CM Essentials 140 Cooler-629
TOTAL -50,494.

I quoted prices from Flipkart because their prices are often the highest,so street/local prices are lower.
Also,why are you throwing away your H60?It's working perfectly fine and if it is not working fine,have you tried Corsair link?It's free.:)
I know I have overshot the budget of 50k,but only by .5k,which depends on the OP.:)
And you do not need 6 Fans to cool your GPU.I am using a 200mm fan and another 140mm only in my HAF 912,my 280X idles at 35/load at 63.And it is an OC edition.

Hope I helped.:)
PS-Thanks,sameerdatta.:)
