Component | Make | Price Processor |Intel Core i7 2600k|16000
Motherboard |Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3/ASUS P8Z68 V PRO|13000
RAM |G.Skill 4 GBX2|5900
Graphic Card |MSI GTX580|27000
CPU Cooler |CM Hyper N620| 2500
HDD |Seagate 1TB 7200.12|2700
DVD Writer |LG 22X SATA DVD|950
PSU |Corsair TX850 V2|6800
Case |Cooler Master Enforcer|6000
Monitor |Dell Led 24 inch|12000
UPS |APC 1.1KVA|4300|
Total |Approximate RS.90000
These prices are not after bargain..Will be doing bargain on the buying day..may get alot cheaper then this !

So..m gonna buy this rig in coming few days[Maybe tomorrow]..so any type of advice will be appreciated ..!!
"Lian Li Lancool K58W" Was not available in market..so going with CM Inforser.
Any other suggestion for Cabinet is most welcomed !

I want the best LED monitor for playing games..so can any 1 recommend me "24" Inch LED monitor???


Some Questions:
1.CM Hyper N620 IS reliable right ?? I dnt want my cPU to get burned :\
2.Should i go for Crossfire Or gtx 580 would be enough?? [I knw it would be enough but if i can get dual cards in same cost that can outperform 580..that gonna be a dream come true :p]

Component | Make | Price Processor |Intel Core i7 2600k|15900
CPU Cooler |CM N620|2500
Motherboard |Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3|11500
RAM |G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-4GBXL|2600
Graphic Card |Sapphire HD6870 * 2 Crossfire|22000 [Anyday it performs better than GTX580]
HDD |Seagate 1TB 7200.12|2700
DVD Writer |LG 22X SATA DVD|900
PSU |Corsair TX850 V2|6800
Case |Lian Li Lancool K58W|4300

UPS |APC 1.1KVA|4300

You can reduce 5k in overall budget if you opt for i5 2500k, which can be OCed & cost lesser & performs close to i7 2600k in games....your call....

As mentioned HD6870 CF Outperforms GTX580 anyday at that resolution & price. So no point in thinking about it.

If still not convinced then add few more thousands & get a GTX580...

laborare est orare
1st of all if the only concentration is gaming, then instead of 2600K, get a 2500K as the gaming performance is marginally higher in 2600K. Save that money and invest it on Graphics card.

My suggestion is :

CPU: Core i5 2500K @ 10.8K
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 @ 9.7K
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9S-4GBRL 2 X 4GB @ 3.8K
HDD: Seagate 1 TB 7200.12 SATA @ 2.7K
Gfx Card: MSI HD 6950 2 GB Twin Frozr III @ 15.9K
Optical Drive: LG 22X SATA DVD @ 0.9K
PSU: Corsair TX 850 V2 @ 6.8K
Cabinet: Lian Li Lancool K58W @ 4.3K
Display: Asus ML238H 23" Full HD LED @ 11K
Mouse Pad: Razer Goliathus Fragged Omega S Mouse Pad- Speed/Control @ 0.5K
UPS: APC 1.1KVA UPS @ 4.3K
Gaming Headphone: Steel Series Siberia Full-Size Headset(White) @ 3K

well thanks for suggestions friends !

Some Questions:-

Should i take 6 GB ram instead of buying 4 GB ?? wont it give better performance in games coming in future such as battlefield?

Finding Lian Li Lancool K58W won't be a difficult job in Delhi.[nehru place]??
Can you give any other alternative stylish cabinet ??

I dnt want to get my Cpu to get overheated if i overclock it or plays games for hours nd hours like my laptop nd get burned.
Can we trust those ups, power supply unit and cpu cooler ?

any 1 ??

You can trust the PSU and UPS blindly, and CM N620 is the best VFM cooler IMO. Availability might be an issue though.

And get 2x4gb RAM. SNB supports dual channel mode, not triple, so 6GB config is not so wise.

Make it 8gb RAM. Also I would advise to go for a single card config and later CFX/SLI as and when required.

If i go with GTX 580 for now..can i SLI it with any better Nvidia card in future or same model cards can also be SLI/CFX.

yaar jaskanwar, Tell me do i need 1200W PSU if Take Sapphire HD6870 * 2 Crossfire??

Also..i checked some reviews of 6950 in CFX..which actually perform better then 6870 in CFX but little bit expensive then 580..

If 6950 CFX Perform better then 6870 CFX and Gtx 580..so i dnt mind spending some more money for it

Also..tell me how much power supply watts will be required for both ATI 6870 CFX and 6950 in CFX as i m really scared of cpu overheating :\

Please elaborate and answer me..as m gonna buy My PC TOMORROW FOR SURE ..please..:\

ANY OTHER TYPE OF ADVICE FROM ANY USER WILL BE APPRECIATED :)

Thanks..!

no you dont need a 1200w psu. the TX850 V2 is good and futureproof.
actually 6950 cfx is approx = 570 sli.
the TX850 V2 will do fine for both 6870 and 6950 cfx.

d3p5kor i think you made a mistake.
6950 cfx is not greater than 580 sli. :-D

If i go with GTX 580 for now..can i SLI it with any better Nvidia card in future or same model cards can also be SLI/CFX.

no. 580 can be slied with 580 only.
in case of cfx series matters. for example you can cfx 6970 with 6950. but not 6870 with 6950. (69** with 69** and 68** with 68**)
