Help buying Gaming PC in Bangalore

[amitab_das]

I have 0 experience in Computer Hardware and cannot smell a scam even if it were close to my nose
I finally have the money but I don't want to risk it, so I am asking here.
I've found this decent config here:
gaming pc

But does anyone know how reliable Golccha IT guys are? Or even better, has anyone ordered this particular item from them?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Going with Pre-Built PC's is not at all good as they offer overpriced components so answer the below Questionnaire and go with an Assembled PC.Ok.

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')

Im not really enthusiastic about building the PC myself so I don't mind it being pre-built. In fact if the Golccha IT guys are trustworthy, I am ready to buy from them.

Golchha IT is good but don't buy Pre-Built PC's from them.Try to bargain and get exactly the same parts suggested by me.OK.

Thanks. BTW I also heard about the skylake chips bending because of coolers. Any thoughts on that?

 

[mikael_schiffer]

Just be wary of the weight of the coolers. That Hyper 212X could be too heavy for your Skylake CPU. Anyways, this problem has occurred to SOME people only. For every single complaint there will be 100 others who have faced no issue (or maybe they will face this issue after a year or two when it starts to bend slowwwwwwly)

So in that case, do you think its better to play it safe with 4th gen? Or take the risk?

 

[mikael_schiffer]

Stick with 4th Gen.. You will save around Rs5000 by not going for a similarly performing Skylake build. The CPU build quiality is not the only issue. There are RAM issues and this and that. The next upgrade to Skylake (7th Gen) will be worth upgrading to. This new Skylake has too much issues.

It was found with some specific brand coolers that didn't adhere to standard. Also it is better to buy Skylake CPU with Z170 mobo as all Non-k skylake CPU can be OCed using blck settings. You have no reason to skip skylake at this point.
