201 views and i think no one is interested in suggesting to this query of mine. what kind of forum is this man....pls help in making a rig.

YOu have already selected top notch hardware. Just try to calculate the total from flipkart, itdepot etc and decide. If you are from Pune then you can visit my store for pricing and availability of components

For GFX i suggest you to go with ASUS DC 2 GTX 680.
If you want GTX 690 then go for any brand since i could not find any custom coolers.

For SSD Crucial m4/ Intel 520 series/ Corsair Force GS series.

For RAM stick to 16 GB since even this is too much. better if you run memory in dual channel ( or quad channel if it exists ).

For PSU I would rather suggest Corsair AX1200i ( the best PSU available on planet )

But it might be overkill HX 850 might do job for you.

If it were for cabinet then personally i would go for Cosmos II.


BTW pls post pics when your beast comes ;-) .. ( "A gaming powerhouse" is an understatement for it :-D)

@tusharrastogi
For graphic card go for radeon hd 7970 based card.
At 2560x1600,hd7970 is better than gtx680.It is much faster in compute.
It is much faster in CAD.
In 3d modelling applications it is much faster than a gtx680.HD 7970 is much faster in Ensight, Lightwave,SolidWorks etc.
In some cases it is 2-3 times faster or even more.
There are plenty of options for hd 7970.Sapphire hd7970 OC edition overclocks 1250MHz+.Gigabyte GV-R797OC-3GD comes with a default clock of 1GHz.
I don't think that a video card cooler is required.


As for performance there is not much of a difference between i7 3960x
and i7 3930k.The former has 3MB more cache and is clocked 0.1GHz higher.
But i7 3960x costs around 22k more than i7 3930k.
So i7 3960x is simply not a good choice.
Now an i7 3930k with a good x79 motherboard would cost around 60k
whereas an i7 2600k with a go z77 motherboard would cost around 30-35k which is almost half of it.
Also the temperature and power consumption would be lower.
In general the performance difference between both is about 15%.
But in applications like 3dsmax,solidworks and other multi-threaded
applications the i7 3930k is anywhere between 20-30% faster than i7 2600k.
So it is for you to decide if you need that extra performance.

32GB RAM is not required.
16GB is more than enough(even this is excess in many cases).
If you are not going for multigpu setups then hx750,hx850 or an ax750 is more than enough.

well couldn't find it.
BTW if you are dying for Larger wattage then go for AX 1200

Also think over fact that HX 850/ AX 850 is already overkill for your config.

^^try to get it from Tirupati...should be cheaper...my 2nd AX1200W was 3K cheaper from street prices :p

I didn't get you. Tirupahi? Are you meaning the shop located in Robert Street?

@OP: Buy Blueray player instead of DVD player when your budget is 2L.

Great, before this I wasn't even aware that 27" monitor does exist. I thought 24" is biggest. You must post pics, I haven't seen PC of 2L ever. I want to see how does it look.
And you didn't include BluRay!!?? Come on man

Oh well.. That changes everything then.
If you really want to learn we can show you how. It's really easy. Even I built mine for the first time. If you're not confident then that's a different story all together.
Anyway I seriously meant it when I said no one takes more care of your components than you.
Do you want to learn?
