And moreever LGA 1155 is ageing i think.

not really. LGA 1155 is Intel's current flagship. LGA 1156 and 1356 are end-of-life.

I like the 980x for its overclocking potential,upto 4.4Ghz under normal air cooling,and can oc upto 4.72GHz under water cooling pipes.

Core i7-2600k can easily be overclocked over 4.5Ghz over air cooling. heck, people have attained 5Ghz with it on air cooling.

Z68 chipset is out. You can wait for motherboards based on it if you want.

The Game · May 12, 2011

Can i get that new chipset within a week

newway01 · May 12, 2011

See, why don't u replace that frontech gamepad with a thrustmaster wireless force feedback one and try to add a Logitech Force 3D Pro joystick and Driving Force GT racing wheel..

By the way its a nice config for now. But that GPU will be outdated in a few months..

d3p · May 12, 2011

@the game: I'm not sure about your whole budget, but if your budget swings around 250k, then give this config a consideration.

Even you can consider HD 6970 2GB CF - 45k instead of GTX580 SLI...

Rest Like KB, Mouse, Mousepad is upto you.

Regarding UPS, get a spare battery of 150AH with APC 1KVA....

a small query - a 1KVA UPS with a 1200W PSU? isn't it better to keep the rating of the UPS a little more than that of the PSU? i really am not sure - wud be helpful if someone cud explain a bit....

coderunknown · May 12, 2011

i'll suggest a 1.2 or 1.5KVA UPS from APC. its not that the PSU needs a better UPS but with such a power hungry system, a 1KVA UPS won't offer anything but 15min backup & will get reduced with time.

d3p · May 12, 2011

^^ thats the reason, i have included a another battery pack of 150Amps Hour with 1KVA Ups.

One more thing to be noted, a 150AH battery can give the whole Home a 8-10hrs of backup, so it will give atleast 3-4hrs of backup to the dedicated PC.

rchi84 · May 12, 2011

If you are going to SLI, may I suggest using Geforce 580s with 3 GB Vram? At higher resolutions, and in SLI situations, the 3GB Vram will offer tremendous advantages over the 1.5GB models.

Man, I wish I had 2.5L to build a PC

Joker · May 12, 2011

gtx 580 SLI?? oh NO please.

hd 6990 + hd 6970 crossfire. 41+20k. Same price. much much much higher performance.

coolgame · May 12, 2011

wait for LGA 2011 chipset.8 cores to the rescue!!!!!will be a great help in video editing.and the CF heat will be unbearable for ur case.and by that time,new NVIDIA as well as AMD will have released their new gpus.just 7 months more

Joker · May 12, 2011

err..power consumption & thermals same in this case - both sli and cfx. the only factor which remains is performance. which is highly towards cfx.

Well, I'm not just talking about 6990 alone; referring GPU as a whole. As we all know, It gets outdated faster than any other components. Game developers are on the verge of creating games that brings the fastest available gpu at a time on its knees. So card manufacturers are forced to go back to the drawing board every now and then, much faster than any other pc components I've seen.. Getting that shiny new GPU now, we'll end up wasting a lot of money on something that might end up being just average in less than a year..
