Gaming PC for around 60k

^^
and i meant the g77p d3 not the g77 d3h (whats the difference between the two ? )
the d3 is available on flipkart for 10kflipkart link
Does it support Sli i would like to know as i'm getting a GTX 670 and i might put another one after a 3 yrs (or something like that) and do a minor upgrade to make this pc last longer!

GA Z77 D3 is a good board, but you can't run SLI in it.

Then again it comes down to Asus P8Z77-M PRO@~11K for SLI setup.

Just found out the difference between the two.
listed below are the things z77-d3h has but the z77p-d3 doesn't
1. Etron EJ168 chips [what do these do]
2. 1 x serial port header [what does this do]
3. 5x audio jacks (Center/Subwoofer Speaker Out, Rear Speaker Out, Side Speaker Out, Line In/Mic In, Line Out) [useless for me]
4. LucidLogix Virtu MVP (seems important)

BTW it is available on primeabgb for 7k prime abgb link
and how much does the d3h cost?

I'm against mATX boards

Buy D3H also doesn't support SLI which is one of your requirement.

How about Asus P8Z77-V PRO instead of Asus P8Z77-M PRO?

too expensive costs 15k.

 

[sharang.d]

I think in a 60k budget you could squeeze in a v-pro. Well your choice

Guys just got off the phone with Golchha computers. they are giving the Asus GTX 670 Direct CU II for 25,000 + 600 shipping to Mumbai!

Should i buy it right now or should i wait till June 11th and hope for a price drop(The rupee is becoming weaker by the day).
GUYS REPLY ASAP PLEASE

 

[d6bmg]

GTX670 @25.6K is a very good deal. You can't possibly get anything better than that. But look at your total budget before buying.

 

[Saumil996]

This is sort of my final config
Processor --- Intel i5 2500k - 11,500
Motherboard ------ Gigabyte GA Z77P - D3 < 10,000 or Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 =10,000
Graphics Card ------ ASUS GTX 670 Direct CU II ------ 25,000
RAM------ Gskill Ripjaws 4GB DDR3 ------1550
PSU ----Seasonic S12 II 620 ---------4620
Case ----NZXT Source 210 Elite -------2400
Monitor ----- Benq G2222HDL ------- 7500
HDD ------ WD Black 250GB--------- around 3000
CPU COOLER ------- CM Hyper 212 EVO ~ 2k or Thermalight True spirit 120 < 2k

If i am getting taking the Gigabyte mobo from prime abgb i'll easily be under 65k.


And i'm gonna buy two of each component so i might be able to shave off a few thousand more from the total


Anyway final problem
MOTHERBOARD:
Gigabyte GA Z77P - D3
1. No SLI
2. No Lucid Virtu Universal MVP
3.Better build quality

v/s

Asrock Z77 Extreme 4

1. SLI READY
2. Has Lucid Virtu Universal MVP (It makes a difference of a few FPS right?)
3. Its an asrock


I would like a SLI Mobo (Seems more future proof) but if the LLC problem of the Extreme 4 is really bad (I haven't yet found a story on the net) i will go for the gigabyte

Any expert advice on my query?

if SLI is not an absolute must then u may try this
ASUS P8Z77-M Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com
NO SLI..BUT Virtu enabled...
OR @ 13K this...
*www.flipkart.com/asus-p8z77-m-pro-motherboard/p/itmd8b8vrzhybxbs

Is this board big enough for SLI? (I know SLI depends upon the PCI express lane) but its mATX i'm scared the motherboard will become too cramped.

erm...kinda told u in the post u quoted

Ordering the GTX 670 from Golchha tomorrow
So i'll have the baby with me till Sunday

Anyway looks like i'm back to choosing between the Asrock Extreme 4 and ASUS P877m pro.

Guys how about the Extreme 6 i read that dfcols71 got it for 12.5 k seems pretty good imo

 

[sumonpathak]

seems good...but still am scared for the llc issue...
better get an asus

 

[Saumil996]

^^
Even the extreme 6 has an llc issue?!? Link please

 

[dfcols71]

suman show the link of the asrock z77 extreme model mobos llc problem,afaik they are fine. some previous generation mobos had the problems besides the asrock z77 extreme series is selling like hotcakes, you can look in many computer forums many guys are building their rigs based on z77 extreme 4,they are not fools to buy it if there was major problem,moreover none of the reviews have mentioned any such major problem regarding that mobo

Where did you get your mobo from??


According to this review Extreme 4's llc is not as great as the asus.

But what i am more concerned about it is the Extreme 6's llc problems (Since it costs close to the ASUS m-pro )
