Or you can get MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5/OC|34150 instead of CFing two 6850s. Then your total cost, barring the components that you've already bought, will be 79739.

1. Price of 6850 is fine.

2. Two 6850s is better than one 6950.

3. Where to buy online? The table above is being updated with links from Flipkart. Please wait...

Hope I didn't miss out anything. All the above prices are online. You'll get discounts while buying from Bangalore/Chennai I guess.

BTW I'm also from Trivandrum:wink:

EDIT : If you're ready to crossfire go for 2*MSI R6850 Cyclone. And squeeze in an SSD if the budget permits.

Then go for the HD 6850 Xfire and put an SSD in the config. You're good to go I guess. Let's wait for expert comments.

PSU SeaSonic SS-850AT 6300 or PSU Corsair 850TX 7125
both these psu seem to be deactivated from newegg
in case of any rma it will be hard to get a similar model

If you're worried, go for Seasonic X Series-850 @9750.

The Corsair HX850 will cost 9650 including shipping so better spend 9750 and get the gold certified psu.

CF has issues with some games & also total memory of 2 6850 will be 1 gb so demanding games which use much more details will perform worse than a 2gb vram card not to mention much increased power consumption & temps.better get a 6950 2gb or wait for equivalent card in 7xxx series.

about the case
Case Corsair 400R does this also have usb 2 front ports
and cpu cooler CPU Cooler CM Hyper 212 Evo 2200
or noctua u12p 3900
mother board and cpu buying in june only
(most probably asus vpro gen-3+ i5 2500k)
unless some similar combinations at that price come out then
next purchase in april budget 25000/-
psu 9750/-
+case+ram8g+ssd(5600/-)
suggestions required

If OP is planning to get the pc in 4 months why anyone not recommending AMD 7XXX Series GPU. I know that entire series ir not available right now but prices are already revealed and by the time OP will purchase PC they will be available.

definitely go for the seasonic X-series those are one of the finest PSUs

& if you are going for the TX series then search for the TX850V2

1.Corsair 400R doesn't have front USB 2.0 ports. For that you can go for Cooler Master HAF 912.

2.Better buy SSD and HDD on you last purchase. The prices will come down a bit by then.

3.For RAM go for G.Skill RipjawsX 4 GB.

4.PSU - SeaSonic X-850.

If OP is planning to get Crossfire then HD 7770 CF is the best option. It performs same as a single HD 7950 or GTX 580. Now Gigabyte HD 7770 OC versions are available at 8.2K in SMC, so at 16.4K, you can touch the performance of a 30K card.
Other plus point is the excellent power efficient design of HD 7000 series. In CF, by using Zero Core technology, the main card can cut the power completely from the 2nd card.
