IMO for a 75k rig going for i7 is better than X4 940...and I dunno y people are telling AMD platform is future proof when a AM2/AM2+ proccy can't fit in a AM3 mobo. Intel hav been sticking with this LGA775 for quite a longtime, and now when they are changing, all are talking much abt this future proof thing!!...and Intel hav no where said they are stopping LGA1366. Core i7 and LGA1366 will remain as their premium platform for sure.

Yep i have :p
@compaddict: When you think about core per core, the i7 has 8 thraeds but the ohenom 2 has only 4....after a year or so when quad core support games comout, the i7's will be way faster.

Well just that I dunno y the guy doesn't buy a BETTER GPU instead, after all he's gonna count frame rate in heavy games rather 3-4 seconds more in audio/video encoding. That's my query, I have nothing against i7 trust me.

Get the phenom ii (much better value for money, intel and its stupid roadmap),DDR2(saves money on both board and RAM ),single Radeon 4890(get another 4890 a year when prices go down) and dell 2209WA(gorgeous e-IPS screen).

Thats the thinking of a fanboy...You have to get what is best for your budget...which in this case is the core i7...

Price constraints trap me in the 70k zone.
I've come to this config as the final solution.
Intel Core i7 920
MSI X58 Pro
Corsair 2x3GB DDR3 1333
WD Caviar Black 1TB / Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA
Sapphire/MSI(which is better?) ATI Radeon HD4770 (Sapphire HD4890 1GB GDDR5/Powercolor HD4890 1GB GDDR5 all cost 14k here)
BenQ E2200HD
Cooler Master Elite 334 (Cooler Master Elite 340 not avl.. any other "silent" options)
Samsung/Sony/LG writer (I need dual layer dvd writing... most writers failed there.. any options)
Tagan BZ800
UPS APC 600 (should I go for higher?)
Bill comes to around 72k
Please give better options for this config.. same price range+_2k
I'm yet to decide on writer & Cabinet/PSU combo. How many W PSU? A more silent cabinet? I heard of a Cooler Master Elite 334 cabinet with 500W PSU. Will it suit my purpose? 3.5k more than regular Cooler Master Elite 334.

HD4770 doesn't go well at all with a FullHD display. You better cut down on HDD cost by getting WD Blue/Green for 4.5k and put the saved 4k for GPU. Get atleast GTX260 or GTX275.

Go for Samsung 2233SW instead of BenQ E2200HD
yes. i am pretty sure that a 650VA UPS will be enough for a 22" and TZ800 running at heavy load. You need atleast 800VA but 1100VA for 4.7k would be the ideal one.

How about Corsair VX650W or GlacialPower GP-AL650AA (someone reported that GP-AL650A has issues and GP-AL650AA is superb one) for 4.2k

for cabinet, CM elite 334/335 is a good one.

for ATI, go for Sapphire/Palit graphics and for nvidia, EVGA/Palit/XFX

What is the difference between coolermaster 334 & 335? Which is better & why?
I'm going to buy this config tomorrow
---------------------
Intel Core i7 920 11400/-
MSI X58 Pro 14100/-
Corsair 2x3GB DDR3 1333 7650/-
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA (WD has problems i heard) 4250/-
Sapphire HD4890 1GB GDDR5 15600/-
BenQ E2200HD 11500/-
(I want to watch DTH TV too... Samsung 2233SW(no HDMI) or BenQ E2200HD(HDMI))
Cooler Master Elite 334/335 3250/-
(I'm getting an ATI based(cool graphics on the outside.. maybe this one) one with CM 500W PSU removed for 3250/- or should I go alongwith the 500W PSU & skip the Tagan BZ800?)
Samsung/Sony/LG writer 950/-
Tagan BZ800 8100/-
APC 1100 4900/-

4% VAT incl it will cost me a whopping 84.5K!
Please comment on the price. Bangalore. Any better options please offer. Same price.

I preferred BenQ over Samsung as it has HDMI... I want to watch TV (Airtel/Tatasky DTH) on the monitor. the DTH might have a HDMI-out connector/port na... any1 tried it out?

Also I'm in a dilemma of Coolermaster case.
Will the i7+MSI X58 Pro+HD4890+2x3GB DDR3 1333 run on a 500W supply?
334 or 335. 334 with or without CM 500W PSU. Please help me out here.

@koolbluez, for monitor, check samsung's new Lavender series. They looks stunning and a 23" should cost around 13k-14k

many Graphics cards are giving DVI to HDMI adapter and I don't think it's a big deal. Highdef doesn't mean that it should come only through HDMI port. DVI too is as good to receive Highdef signal, so is component.

Well would like to say one thing.... Go for a CM 690! i7 is a hot proccy and your overall config would be a heat producer so CM 690 would be better coz it provides better cooling solution with better fans. Among 334 and 335 there's not much difference, except the looks.

In the PSU question, 500W is not enough and CM absolutely a big NO NO, especially if its a Extreme Power one! Go for Corsair TX650! That a wise choice!

You can also go for WD Caviar Green 1TB HDD, less power consuming, reliability and a 5 year warranty. But its an option.

Monitor would be Dell 2408WFP. If you are going for Movie centre+gaming PC, then please skip those crappy TN panels and stick to VA or IPS panel monitors!
