Dude where do you live. Get a quote from theitwares and theitdepot. They have very good offers

I have similar config like you. Do try itwares lamington road

Where did you buy your config from?
I mean itwares & theitdepot prices are some what overpriced than local prices that's why. Can they offer good discount if I buy all components from them?

Hi, bavusani, think one more time before you spend that much amount of money. Is 80k worth it? Since, your main concern was electricity bill, thatsy you chose to switch over to intel. But, buddy, consider this: the gpu you have currently has max tdp of 80W, and fx 8320 has a tdp of 125W. Total = 205W if lets suppose you run your rig at full load. Now, with your newer purchase, 4670k = 84W and 270X = 170W, total = 254W. Now, tell me where were you able to save the money you were aiming to save thatsy you started this thread. I know each of these have their own power saving tech. at idle conditions but I'm just presenting a scenario to get a general idea. The goal of this thread has gone in vein. Plus you are spending an extra 80k just thinking to save money, are you living in misconceptions? Dude, come on.

Other thing, you need to lower down the settings of your refrigerator, since you are running it 24x7, if it's on highest settings, the time duration for which it auto shuts off itself will be far less and trust me, since refrigerators have compressor like ACs, it is eating through your electric supply. The rig, you are using currently is not a that much heavy config. that it contributes too high in electic bill (considered you run it 12x7). Or if you still think, then underclock it, or the best way would be to get checked how much an electric equipment draws from the wall. There comes a device for that, I can't recall now but it's a sort of switch like device which plugs into the wall and then you plug your extension cord (of PC) into it. It will tell the exact amount of power you are drawing.

So, I'll suggest you to first get checked how much power each device in your house is consuming to find the main culprit before reaching any decision. Always take such huge step after going through some sort of evidence. Everything is now just in air. Also, here might be a problem with your faulty electric meter. Get that replaced too!

Regarding the upgrade to play the latst games you have mentioned, just get 270X or 280X. Rest is good.

TDP is not an exact measurement of power consumption rather it shows how much heat a cooling system needs to dissipate.

What is the performance difference between i5 4670k & i5 4570? I know that k series can only be overclocked but can I increase the non k series CPU by increasing the Turbo Frequency?
What MB's by brands like Asus & Gigabyte support this Turbo Frequency increments? If there is no performance difference between k series and non k then can I not increase the frequency after say 3years to meet the demand of then released games? Am I right? So should I need definetly a K series CPU or not is the question?

Please give suggestions accordingly.Thanks again.

after 4 years no matter how much you overclock your processor you still won't be able to play crysis x of that time which will require a 8 core processor to even install & a 4gb ddr7 graphics card 8 times more powerful than any graphics card you can buy today.:p

I rather go with i5 4670k+Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H with gtx650Ti Boost to be more future proof and also consumes much less power.

complete waste of money IMO. No offence but thinking of changing PC to reduce power bill is also misleading. If you use freeze,AC, vaccume cleaner,microwave etc and still thinking your PC is causing huge electricity bill. You are either having large stockpile of money or totally brainwashed.

I used to have a whirlpool old fridge from the 90's that thing draws serious power. With same PC initially I was getting 1500+ bill each month. NO other thing only fridge,light-fans & PC. Then I started to switch off the fridge for 3hrs in the morning & 3hrs in the evening & voila bill dropped to 800 - 1000. Now I have a LG 4 start energy rating fridge & bill rarely goes over 600 with the same PC with upgraded gfx card.

So ...

Buddy I don't have any stock pile of money or am I brain washed but I was only thinking in the long term only. Nowadays its very cold so no AC also and since you are saying that the Refrigerator might be the cause of huge bills I will try to switch it off for at least 3 hours. BTW my mother stores milk and other foods inside the fridge that's why I am a little bit hesitant.

switching it of for few hours wont make any problem wit the milk. Just try and wait for the result. Then you decide to upgrade. I dont find any reason to upgrade
 
Sorry buddy, but now even I think that spending money to save money is stupidity (no offence to you whatsoever) no matter how many months/years you take into consideration. Can you for once mention your total consumed units, Wattage of all devices used in home and how long do you use it?

I dont want to upgrade at least for another 4 years.
349 Consumed units @ Rs.2353 (sep,13)
13 devices ranging from fans to my PC+AC(so cold, not using)
Generally all the devices run for at least 5 hours a day except Geezer.
My PC runs at least 10 hours daily on an average.
PS: There is strange tax in my state called the Surcharge (This is calculated on the basis of previous years users usage based on the respective months starting from 2011 onwards)
