Hi guys

I am planning to buy a high end PC.
My budget is under Rs.70-80K

Please suggest me the best configuation.
My main purpose is Gaming and super fast computing.

Waiting for 3 Miracles...
go SLI and Quad core intel (Even core 2 duo will do), or dual core AMD absolutley rocks man buy sata2 or sata 3 hdd per (2 in number) and go for raid 5 to config the hdds and graphics cards 2 in number should be atleast 7300 GT or GS perrably with DDR3 rams, buy a pair of 1gb RAMs DDR2 atleast... if going over budget opt for pair of 512MB's instead... 16X DVD writer either ASUS or Sony..... Any decent Keyboard and atleast logitec mx310 mouse...... 17" or 19" (W)TFT samsung, LG , SOny (all have response time of 12ms)whichever appeals to you and seems affordable....
And MOST Important thing...........
Go for 500watts powersupply powersafe or local whichever you can afford and instead of cute looking cabinets assemble it in a big spaciuos and airy cabinet alternately you can also put one extra ventilation fan, though you should take care not to attach too many fans as above config will be power hungry and you will need all the power you can get.....
This should take care of a PC you can game with in 70 to 80K
hope it helps ya
though this is not the best but works for me.............
Peace
Raj

C2D 6600 ....OC it to 4Ghz
P5B Delux Wifi or Gigabyte DQ6 (Awsome board)
7900 GTX
2 GB Transcend 800 Mhz RAM
PSU 500W with a cooling system if OC to 4 Ghz

rest you choose anything...the above 4 are sufficient enough to make a "Pump up the jam" kinda system.

WIth 4Ghz...he might need a very good cooling system....isnt it???

Nope 7900GTX is an awsome performer even better than 7950GT. SLI usually does not give you much better performence per price. Its more of an upgrade option rather than a move towards a high end gaming system.

A decent cooling system will do. Check this out.

How come no one suggested NVidia 8800, the only dx10 compatible card?...it costs Rs.34000/-
 

Edburg

In the zone
I would recommend to buy a single more powerful graphic card than 2 less powerful cards in SLI.Both cost wise and performance wise a single powerful card is always better.Besides there are some games which really dont make use of 2 cards.

C2d E6600 - 15000 approx
Good overclocking mobo from asus or gogabyte -10000
Ram - 2*1 GB from good company - 9000
2*160 GB SATA2 - 5500
19" TFT - 14000
Rest accessories are ur choice

Graphics Card : Don't go for Dx9 Cards. Buy Dx10 Card 8800. If doesn't fit in budget wait for a month or two (atleast untill Dx10 is out).

34000/- is way too expensive, you have to wait ATLEAST 8 months maybe even more untill the card comes under any affordable range. There are not even any games on DX10 currently. I'd say go for 7900 and upgrade to 8800 maybe year and a half later. By the time the card would be much under range and there would be lots of game on DX10 as well to enjoy.

LOL...what difference would come in a 34000 card in two months.....

Sorry for my mistake. I was saying that wait for a month or two by then some new Dx10 cards can come in market

My suggestion

C2D E6600 ~ 14.5k
ASUS P5B or Gigabyte GA-P965-DS3 ~ 8.5k
2x1Gb DDR2 667Mhz Transcend ~ 10k
Sony 120C ~ 1900
19" TFT (this is your choice) ~ 14k

Hard disk is again your choice, but I'd suggest a Raid 1 setup for higher performance.

I will NOT suggest a DX10 card now, reason?
well firstly most processors available now are not up to the power of 8800, so u will not see any noticable difference from a 7950GT, and secondly, a 7950 will push all the frame rates you require on a 19" screen, you need a more powerful processor and a bigger screen to make use of the power of an 8800, secondly, they are very costly now, with not much DX10 usage now, it makes no sense, better is get a 7950 now and then, sell it and get a 8800 when DX10 apps are out or u planning on getting another, larger screen. That time these cards will be a lot cheaper, especially after R600 cards roll out.

Raid 1 is not for better performance Raid 0 is. Raid 1 is for better data security, as against Raid 0 which becomes a bit non reliable but with better performance.

You must be kidding all current processors are well pumped up to handle 8800 easily. you dont know what you are saying.

Read performance is same as in Raid 0 setup, read can be done from both the disks, one is a mirror image of other.

Thats completely untrue. RAID 1 is slower than a single HDD due to CPU overhead involved and RAID 0 is much faster than a single HDD because half the data is stored on each HDD.

Why would you recommend RAID 1 for a gaming rig? RAID 0, I can understand but why on earth RAID one?

I suggested Raid 1 because it has a higher data security, it is only costlier than Raid 0, because it provides half the space and no performance improvement in write speed. and if data is not the concern, raid 0 is better option. But it's not a "bit" unreliable, it's "VERY" unreliable. and I am planning on raid 1 for Myself.

No kidding here pal, and i know what i said. If u play games at higher resolution, graphics cards are frame deciding factors, but if u play at lower resoultuons, the CPU is, and he is getting a 19" display atm. so my point is a valid one. I'll help you with some benchmarks. let me search.

Why does a gaming rig need data security? For ordinary users backing up to an external HDD or DVD's is far better than setting up RAID 1.
