Gaming PC config under 25k

[MegaMind]

I guess 4GB will do good for 2 years.

Good enough for gaming...

But Ivy Bridge so near, should'nt he go for a AMD based rig?

Ivy bridge will be abt 20% faster than Sandy bridge... so since OP will b using this config for a couple of yrs, he can very well opt for SB...

Thanks, Manju. I just want to know if the premium over standard (z68 V) is worth my dough. Is DTS a gimmick or something which should be there.

In normal everyday usage, u wont find any diff over DTS feature...

The 6670 is the best.
BTW, try to create you're own thread. Hijacking is against forum rules



BTW, Faun what do you say of this config-

Component | Make | Price Processor | Intel Core i5 2600k | 10500
Motherboard |GA-Z68X-UD3R-B3 | 10500
RAM | Corsair XMS3 2X2GB 1600C9 | 2400
| Total |23400

Get a Case of you're choice

Thanks for RAM info. How does this mobo compares to Asus V-Pro ?

Good enough for gaming...

Ditto.

In normal everyday usage, u wont find any diff over DTS feature...

So I can go for V (standard) version without worrying about any extra perks in V-Pro. Can you confirm if I am missing out on anything else.

I will most probably got for SLI (two cards only) later if I feel the need to.

Asus P8Z68-V is slightly better than GA-Z68X-UD3R-B3 in OCing features, audio, has BT.... so choice s urs..

i just can't forget your last setup which included Ben 10 action figures inside it

-->NZXT :: Unique. Unprecendented. Inspired - M59 Product Detail

^^I was planning to buy Phantom but couldn't see the utility for just 2 years. Settled down on cheaper option.

ACtually I fried my mobo few weeks back when I connected JP2 jumper to fan connector by utter mistake...lol...I knew it that my Mobo was few days guest after that.

Btw getting NZXT is next to impossible here.

 

[Piyush]

lol.....your mobo must be cursing you after that

and regarding NZXT, if you are having problem with the availability then you should ask SAM , he bought M59 online...but dunno from where

what about lancool?

[Faun]

^^the only concern in availability and I don't want to order a cabinet online.

Can someone suggest me a cabinet with USB 3 headers ?

 

[Skud]

budget?

 

[Faun]

^^as low as possible.

AFAIK, the cheapest cabinet with USB 3.0 is the CM HAF 912 Advanced. Price should around 6k. Better buy the 430 and add a PCI or PCI-express card for USB 3.0 later.

BTW, the 430 looks a bit costlier in Pune.
