Gaming Rig Budget 70k

[N@m@n]

smc quoted me a price of 22k for 7870! which shop did u enquire from!?

ohk so im pretty much set in my mind about this whole thing, final thoughts:

1. is the normal corsair 1600mhz ram not enough? 8gb of ram im putting..
2. if i dont overclock the i5 2500k in the future will it bottleneck the 7870?
3. gigabyte z77mx-d3h anyone?

Dont remember the exact name of shop but in nehru place you should visit at least 5 shops and buy from the cheapest one.
Also you dont need to buy all the products from one shop you can buy from shops which give you best price.

1. For gaming just go for corsair vengance or gskill ripjaws.
2. i5 2400 is around 10300 and i5 2500 is around 11100
so if you will not oc then go with it but i5 2500k will be more future proof.
3. i would suggest to go for z68 mb as you dont need z77 because most features of z77 are for ivy bridge cpus.

if u r getting good mb for same price than go 4 it so in future if u change cpu from sb to ivy u dont need to change mb.

guys iv been researching!
yesterday i saw a lot of vids and what i learnt from that was:
msi 7850 power edition oc twin frozr4 > msi 7870 power edition oc twin frozr3 ( no twin frozr 4 release yet!)
msi 7870 hawk oc edition > all the rest!
now if i go for stock 7870 which would be cheaper and overclock..il need heat dissipation right?
hence the twin frozr!

this is getting to be a major headache for me! arrrghhh!

ohk guys it comes down to this:

i5 2500k
gigabyte z77mx-d3h
msi 7850 power edition
corsair vengeance 1600mhz 8gb
seagate 1tb
samsung/asus dvd writter
benq 22" led full hd
cooler master elite 690 or 460
which ups should i get with this!? last thing left

forgot corsair tx 650w

 

[Sainatarajan]

Forget About MSI and all those stuff. Get a Good HD 7870 . It will beat HD 7850 .

 

[headbang33]

Go for GTX 670...better than every amd card.
and if you are not planning to OC...cut down your PSU to 600w.
and go for a i5 2500k....

 

[Manas Saraswat]

^ gtx 670 is for 30k! out of my budget!

 

[Sainatarajan]

Get The HD 7870 . None Other than That ONE .

@OP
Go for the ripjaws x rather than corsair vengeance as vengeance has tall heat spreader and might interfere with an air cooler that you might put later (assuming that you are gonna oc)

 

[sharang.d]

Get these for sure :
i5-2500k
asus p8z77-v / asus p8z77-m
Gigabyte/Sapphire 7870
Seasonic S12II-620W
G.Skill RipjawsX 1600Mhz 4G x 1/2

Rest you decide.. I know your budget is quite high but I'd suggest going for a cheap cabinet (eg: Nzxt Elite[Not if you get the Noctua cooler tho coz it wont fit ]) and use the money elsewhere.

If you're gonna OC get the Noctua NH-D14 or else the CM Hyper 212 EVO will suffice

bro msi better than giga/saph and wont be overclocking for a while.il buy cooler later

 

[sharang.d]

Well my point was 7870. Get any brand. That's your choice

 

[Manas Saraswat]

^ lol ohk man!

just one last question u guys will the i5 2500k bottleneck 7870 at factory clock speed(3.3ghz)??

 

[sharang.d]

Nop. Not a bit. Won't bottleneck even if the card is overclocked. i5-2500k is more powerful than you might think..

 

[Sainatarajan]

I5 2500K wont even Bottleneck a GTX 680 SLI .

^ lol ohk man!

lol

 

[maheem]

Why do you need a 750w SMPS when 600w is more than enough for your gaming configuration.

 

[Manas Saraswat]

thanks guys for all your help,, and being patient through all my noob questions! il update u when i buy my pc and when its up and running!
peace out hombres!

@OP

will it interfere with CM Hyper 212 EVo? il be doing light oc, if any,

guys what ups would i have to buy with 7870?! i need ups for like a min as i have gen backup at my place.

 

[Myth]

Assuming you are taking an atx mobo, Corsair vengeance (in slot nearest the proc) will conflict, unless you relocate the fan in the opposite side. And you cant add another fan for a push-pull config. Alternately, you can shift the ram modules a slot away from the proc.
Or else just simply get the ripjaws XD

Select either the p8z77-v or the p8z77-m pro.

 

[Saumil996]

You will have to orient the cooler in a particular way or do some jugaad! Plus you won't be able to add another fan
