Gaming rig under 60k

[darkther]

Hello to the think digit community, this is my first post on the forums.

The worst mistake I have made in my life is to buy an all in one sh*t, now I am planning to build a custom PC, that means all of the stuff including mous, kb, speakers and monitor. I live in a town in MP and there are no retailers who can provide me the higher end parts so online shopping is the only choice for me (primeabgb, mdcomputers and it depot, flipkart doesn't ship here). I have been researching from the past 2 weeks and the best I could come up with is...

i5-3470 @11207
ASRock H77 Pro4 MvP @6515
Corsair dominator 8gb dual channel (2x4gb) @4725
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500g @3264
LG 24x dvd writer @1150
Corsair CX500 v2 500 watt @3386
Corsair Carbide Series 400R Mid-Tower Case @4900
ASUS GRAPHICS CARD HD 7850 2GB DDR5 V2 @15500
SteelSeries Kinzu optical mouse @1423
Logitech z103 speakers @1024
Dell 20 inch IN2030M LED Monitor @6333 (not sure if to but this one or not, could have a look at some 21-22 inch monitors)
Keyboard, can't decide which one to buy, help needed.

So, what changes should I have to make in this configuration? I could go up to 63k only if need not a penny more. Hope you guys will come up with good answers.

Regards,
Darkther.

Good config.

Few changes from my side (lowering costs for a better gpu)
Proc: i5 3470 ~ 11k
Mobo: Giga/Asus b75-m ~ 4k
Cabinet: Nzxt gamma/Source Elite 210 ~ 2.5k/2.9k
HDD: WD/Toshiba. Their rma serice is better than seagate.
GPU: Sapphire 7950 vaporx ~ 21.5k
Total: 60.5

Why you have answered ?

Too many questionnaires in the thread. Quite confusing. I hope someone deletes the unnecessary ones.

@myth, am h77 mobo is needed and 400r has better airflow and cable management

Its a killer rig . And that too a HD 7950 !!!

 

[ASHISH65]

dont overclock 3470 too much oly do it till 4.5 or 4.6

Can you teach me how to overclock it.thanks in advance

@op why not you go to main city and buy all stuff?

i will suggest hd 7870xt over hd 7950 as 7870xt is bang for buck and just kisses the hd 7950 and gtx 660ti in performance as it is just 4-5%slower than hd 7950.Spending rs 3500 for 5% performance increase is not worthwile according to me + with saved money he can get better cabinet like 400r + much better mobo like h77.so i suggest hd 7870xt.

 

[Myth]

@myth, am h77 mobo is needed and 400r has better airflow and cable management

I assume you want the raid and SRT features present in h77 but not in b75.

No doubt the 400r has better airflow and cable management, but the Nzxt gamma/Source Elite 210 hold good at their price range.
Btw, with a locked proc and a single gpu, what do you think will generate so much heat ?

Final choice is yours anyway.
Better gpu or better cabinet !

i will suggest hd 7870xt over hd 7950 as 7870xt is bang for buck and just kisses the hd 7950 and gtx 660ti in performance as it is just 4-5%slower than hd 7950.Spending rs 3500 for 5% performance increase is not worthwile according to me + with saved money he can get better cabinet like 400r + much better mobo like h77.so i suggest hd 7870xt.

Those benchmarks were done with custom 7870xt/le/myst and a reference 7950. A 7950 vaporx with boost is a different game altogether. The extra 3.5k is charged for the 1gb, 128bit, more stream processors, better cooling and better/higher OCing potential. 7950 vaporx wouldnt sell if there no substantial advantage over the 7870xt.

Tweak the game graphics settings, raise the resolution and check the performance difference. Due to the above extra features, the 7950 will outlast the 7870xt by a decent margin.

7870xt is for those who cant extend their budget to the 7950. Its pointless taking the 7870xt when the 7950 can be had for the specified budget.

Sorry for the late reply guys, power was out here from 8:30am to 3 pm

Can you please give me the link of the components where I can buy them at the price listed by ashish?

 

[ASHISH65]

primeabgb, mdcomputers and it depot

why not come to main city.lik nashik there might be good store

 

[darkther]

Dude, its pretty far plus I just entered 10th, got too much studies. Even in my vacations, I have got classes to attend

btw, what's the difference between Asus Radeon Hd 7850 and Sapphire Radeon HD 7850? Why is the Asus GPU more expensive?

 

[Sainatarajan]

In that case it will be better if you buy the PC next year coz 10th is more imp. You need to get a Good Group in 11th . So marks in 10th is imp...... This is my advice for you.
