Hey I'm planning to buy a gaming PC. Budget is ~80K

Here's the config:

CPU: i7 860 [14.5]
MOBO: Asus P7P55D PRO [10]
RAM: Kingston DDR3 2GBx2 [6]
HDD: Seagate 500GB [2.6]
GRAPHICS: XFX ATI 5870 [26]
MONITOR: BenQ G2220HD [9.2]
SPEAKERS: Zebronics ZEB SW7000R [2.8]
MOUSE & KEYBOARD: iBall [1.5]


I need help with the PSU and the case. Should I go in for a Coolermaster PSU or the Zebronics? Please suggest a good case which can accommodate the large 5870. Also is the rest of the configuration OK or should I make any changes? Thanks!

Neither cm nor zeb. Get Corsair VX550W (5k including tax). if you want to check other brand PSUs, make sure that they are 80PLUS certified as it is necessary to keep a rig with core i7 and HD5870 stable.

for case, check cooler master CM690. should cost around 4k, Antec 300, Antec Titan and NZXT Gamma.

Hey thanks for your suggestions... But don't you think that a 600/700W PSU will be better?

And what do you think about the rest of the config?

Probably the Corsair 650TX?

I suggest you should go for a 750 watts~ 1000 watts PSU from Corsair if you plan to OC and add more card's later on in Crossfire-X....
Else a 650 Watts PSU is enough ....

I feel you should change your procy to core i 920 or 930 and mobo to x58 chipset may be from msi or biostar .....or even from asus if bugdet allow...........also keyboard and mouse from logitech or microsoft........ And hdd should be wd black edition 500gb for around 3.3k.

And for the speakers go with altec lansing or creative or logitech.

And you are going to have a balance system.

GRAPHICS: Sapphire HD5870 1GB GDDR5 @ 23k ---> NO TO XFX. plz.
MONITOR: BenQ G2220HD ---> should cost 8.5k else order DELL 22" online.
SPEAKERS: Logitech X240 @ 2.4k or Altec Lansing VS-2321 @ 2.1k
MOUSE & KEYBOARD: Logitech mouse + TVS Gold keyboard @ 1.4k

total: 73.1k = 76k after tax & all. with 4k take:
NZXT Gamma @ 2k + 4 additional fans @ 2k : 4k
NZXT M59 @ 3.8k ---> looks cool.

whats the point of selling ur 2*4890
its still good

DX11. also 2 X HD4890 = HD5870 + a bit of OC. also 1 card will run cooler, draw less power. & is much more efficient rather than 2 cards in CrossFire.

looks like asigh already getting smell of HD5870 inside his cabby :smile: or maybe busy shopping.
