Config considered:

Intel i5 760
MSI P55 GD65
Corsair 2 X 2 GB
WD 500GB Green
Sapphire 6870 1GB
Corsair 550W - Is the power suff? WHich model AX,HX,VX?
Benq G2220HD (need help here, monitor should be great. without LED bleed)
LG DVD RW
Logitech Keyboard
Logitech Mouse
Any decent 2.1 speaker within 1k(help needed)
APC 800VA
PC Case - I am very confused here between CM 430,CM 690,NZXT Gamma,NZXT M59 and CM HAF 922/912- help needed.

Guys please help with your valuable comments. Thanks in advance.

Please avoid MSI P55-GD65. Head over to MSI forums and you'll see it having issues with the firmware.

Go wid the same config u suggestd :

Instead of p55gd65
get p7p55d-e ... Its from asus and also has onboard sata III and USB 3.0 ....
Checked it out last week ... Its a nice board ...

Also guys is there going to be a price drop for sapphire 6870 ???

Last week I askd at Lamington Road they said Rs 15250 ... When I asked two days later ... They said The stock got over ...
It will take another week for new stock to come in and price would be Rs 11800 ....

Is it true ?? Or was it just a mistake ???
PPl are giving different prices for Sapphire 6870 ...
Plz can anyone give me a benchmark price to compare with ???
Has any one bought a 6870 recently ??? Even better , From Lamington Road ???

Plz let me know as soon as possible ....
Thanx ...

Looks like you have already decided everything....
change the RAM to G Skill 4 GB DDR3 1600CL7 @4.5k
Rest is perfect...

The cabby part...CM 430 is good but is a small case...go with the HAF 912 Advanced @6k..
Very good for gaming..

Dude depends on how much money ur left wid after u buy all your components ...

CM HAF 922 is a diffrent price range(Around 6k) and CM 430 elite (Around 2.6 k) is different ....

If ur left wid more money buy HAF 922, if less CM 430 ....
Or if u prioritize ur case over ne other component the buy ur case first (The one u like) then buy other parts according to remaining money ....

I remember 1 member buying 6870 a few days back.He had posted about it either in "Post your latest purchase" or "All Graphic Cards related Queries here" thread.He had bought it from SMC at around 15k after getting a discount of around 1k.

HAF 912 is better than HAF 922 and cheaper too..
922 just has one extra fan at the bottom..
912 advanced has usb 3.0 ports extra + uber cool looks..
@op
do as vizkid suggested for the cab but if u have the cash go with the haf 912 advanced

Corsair 550W - Is the power suff?Yes, Its a Power Supply WHich model AX,HX,VX?VX

I know its a power supply. :) . I wanted to ask whether Corsair 550W PSU will be sufficient for the config?

Thanks,people for all your suggestions.
If GD 65 has problems what will be its equivalent substitute considering price and features (as asked by jas)?

And can anyone confirm if CM 912 advanced is available in Bangalore?(price also)

Anyone has experience with mentioned Benq monitor?

At SMC they are giving it for 6k (shipping extra)...

So the final question comes to the motherboard!.. If there are problems with GD65 motherboards, which other motherboard upto 8-9 k range will suit me the best with atleast these features:
1. 2 PCI 2.0 x16 slots. So that in CF, two GPUs run in x8,x8.
2. Min 6-8 USB 2.0.
3. USB 3.0 will be nice. with e-SATA
Above all, good gamin performance! :)

Then go for
asus p755d-e at 9k..
Its not like all Gd65 have bios prob..it was some old firmware..if u update the bios in those by flashing it..then its one of the best out there..
Jst to be clear gd65 does not have usb 3.0
but if u do buy haf 912 advanced u get a usb 3.0 i/o panel..

@kumar : Are u gonna upgrade ur rig in a couple of yrs ?? Mobo and Proccy change ???

Coz 6870 will eat thru most of the games in current and near future market ....
When the time comes buy a new mobo(x16 X 2 lanes) & proccy and crossfire in another card ...

If not then Its gud to invest more money and buy a x16 X 2 lane mobo now ....
