gaming PC costing approximately Rs. 40000

[the_conqueror]

Asus P8z68m-pro - 10200
Core i5 2500k - 12300
Corsair vengeance 4 gb 1600mhz X2 - 3300
Corsair gs600 psu- 4000
microsoft xbox360 windows controller - 1350
Please suggest a good cabinet for this config. I'll buy hdd and monitor later.

I have a few important questions regarding this rig:

1. Should I buy the HD 6870 or wait for new graphic cards ? My budget for graphic card would be 12k. Not more than that.

2. I would like to overclock my i5 2500k upto 4 Ghz and thus considering to buy CM Hyper 212 evo cooler. Would it be a problem regarding space on motherboard when I install this cooler with a corsair vengeance RAM ?

3. Would this rig be future proof for atleast 3 years(for gaming at 720p) ?

^^ Cabinet - Corsair 400R

1. Wait till the 7850 hits the market.
2. Nope.
3. GOD knows.

BTW go for SeaSonic S12II 620.

or CM 690 II Advanced with USB 3 Nevermind, its costlier than 400R on flipkart.

^^ Cabinet - Corsair 400R --It is way outta my budget

1. Wait till the 7850 hits the market.
2. Nope.
3. GOD knows.

BTW go for SeaSonic S12II 620 -- I want to go for corsair gs600 or gs700. Are there any issues with them ? I don't see any advantage in spending 500 bucks more just for 20 W.

See the replies in green.

^^What's the maximum budget for the case?

Its not just about the wattage. The SS PSU that I suggested has a build quality similar to the Corsair TX series. So for the additional bucks you spend not only you gain 20W but also top notch quality. I dare say that its build quality is better than the GS600. Anyways if you're on a really tight budget you can go for GS600.

I won't be spending more than 3.5k on cabinet.

NZXT Gamma will be a good buy.

 

[the_conqueror]

What is the price of NZXT Gamma ?
And what about NZXT Source 220 ? Which one is better ? Do they have USB 3.0 ports in front ?

 

[RiGOD]

^^For front USB 3.0 go for NZXT Source 210 Elite. Its a great VFM cabinet with excellent cooling and cable management features. The Source 220 is not much different in features but looks better but I doubt its availability.

EDIT : Shipping Charges.

remember other than Flipkart, all other shops will charge 300-1000 for shipping the cabby.

Guys I'm really getting confused about my rig. The confusions are:
1. To go for Asus P8Z68 M Pro Mobo or not.
2. To buy HD 6870 or wait for HD 7870 and kepler.

I'd like to mention my requirements for motherboard and graphic card.
1. The mobo should have atleast 2 SATA 6 gbps ports.
2. The mobo should have atleast 1 USB 3.0 header (apart from 2 backpanel ports) for the front connectivity option.
3. The mobo should have solid capacitors for increased lifetime.
4. The mobo should support Ivy Bridge processors of socket 1155.
5. It should have enough overclocking potential.
6. The mobo should be costing less than 10k(or 12k).
6. Should I go for HD 6870 or wait for 7850 because I've heard that 7850 would be costing around 15k but my budget for gpu is 11k.

All the questions asked above have been answered several times. A lot of person have told you to wait until the release of HD 7850, P8Z68 M Pro Mobo does have all the features you've asked for and all the 1155 Motherboards are gonna support Ivy Bridge Socket 1155.

But I don't think that p8z68m pro mobo has usb 3.0 header on board. I don't prefer plugging usb devices on the back panel. That is why I was thinking of going for maximus iv gene z. i'm really sorry for troubling the members by my repetitive questions.

How is this config ?
Asus maximus iv gene z @ 13.5k
Core i5 2500k @ 12.5k
Corsair GS600 @ 4.7k
Corsair carbide 400r @ 5k
Corsair vengeance 2x4 gb 1600 mhz ram @ 3.5k
Total @ 39.2k
I am thinking of playing at 1280x1024 or 1024x768 with the integrated gpu. The games would be probably assassin's creed revelations, bf3, codmw3, mafia 2. Will it provide playable frame rates ?
I will buy the gfx card , monitor and hdd later. BTW, I opted for this mobo because Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3R is not available in Kanpur. If I am able to find it somewhere then I'll go for it.
