IB PC for 100k(Gaming Only)

[hitman4]

I finally decided upon the following CONFIG for my GAMING RIIIG:

Intel Core i5 3570k -13900,
Asus Maximus V Gene -14500,
Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X Edition-22000,
Corsair Neutron GTX 240GB -15300,
Corsair 300R -4200,
Seasonic X660(SS660KM) -7500,
Corsair H60 Cooler -4000,
Corsair Vengeance 16GB 2133MHz -8400,
APC Back-UPS Pro 100VA -7200,
Asus DRW-24B5ST DVD-RW -1100,
CM 140mm BLUE LED Fans 2Pcs -900,
CM 120mm BLUE LED Fans 2Pcs -900.
TOTAL -99900.


I found the Sapphire 7950 to be much .5K cheaper and OCZ Vertex 4 to be 1k cheaper and G.Skill RipjawsZ 2133Mhz to be .4k costlier than the quoted prices from Arun Computers,CTC,Secunderabad. I also found that Sapphire,OCZ and G.Skill to be great in performance compared to other respective products found in their price range. Please comment and give me valuable & suitable suggestions so that I will buy it in 2-3 months time(March,13).

When I was overclocking with the present RIG using Asrock Z77 Exterem4 coupled with CM Hyper 212 Evo I am getting BSOD when I reach 4Ghz from 3.2Ghz.

Thanks & Regards,

Rig looks great.......
Dont you think that 240gb is less for gaming.....?

Here there is little changes that have gone into the components like:

Intel Core i5 3570k -13900,
MSI Z77 MPower -15500,
Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X Edition-21500,
OCZ Vertex4 256GB -14500,
Corsair 300R -4200,
Seasonic X660(SS660KM) -7500,
Corsair H60 Cooler -4000,
Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600MHz -5800,
APC Back-UPS Pro 1000VA -7200,
Asus DRW-24B5ST DVD-RW -1100,
CM BC 120mm RED LED Fans 4Pcs -1800.
TOTAL -97000.

The remaining components like Monitorell ST2220L, KB:Microsoft Sidewinder X6,Mouse:Logitech G400,Speakers:Logitech Z313 remains the same which are from my previous RIG.I have only 1 doubt whether Seasonic X560 or X660 is enough as PSU for my RIG or not even though I may overclock it to 3.8-4.0GHz.Kindly clarify.
Just rate my RIG guys!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Myth]

MOBO : asus maximus v gene at that price.
RAM: Gskill ripjaws
SSD: 128GB is sufficient. Anything more is just overpriced. (Personally I wouldn't pay so much to reduce OS boot time and app load times )

600w is enough for 7950 and proc OCing.

You dont need a liquid cooler for 4ghz OC. An evo can do that.

Where do you plan to install 4 more fans ? 300r already has 2 fans by default.

APC 1k VA was around 5.5k i think. WHy do you need the pro ?

Cut all unnecessary expenses and try for the Sapphire 7970.

 

[skeletor]

well, for 15K - I'd buy anything except a mATX motherboard.

Espansion slots are always good.

 

[bssunilreddy]

I went for good thinking and reduced my budget to 75k where I will use my existing Core i5 3570k,Dell ST2220L,MS Sidewinder X6,Logitech G400,Logitech Z313 Speakers and sell of the remaining components and buy a new rig consisting of these:

1) Asus P8Z77-M-Pro -11000,
2) Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X -22000,
3) OCZ Vertex4 256GB -13500,
4) Corsair HX650 -7000,
5) Corsair 300R -4300,
6) Corsair H60 Cooler -3950,
7) Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2133MHz -4500,
8) APC Back-UPS RS 1100VA -5100,
9) Asus 24B5ST DVDRW -1000,
10) Antec 140mm BLUE LED Fans 4Pcs -2200.
TOTAL -74,550.
Our fellow TDF member Myth provided me some insights to cost cutting and so I went according to him. I wont be using the 2 fans provided with Corsair 300R but will be using Antec fans instead for the front and top positions. For the rear Corsair H60 rad + fan will be used.

 

[Myth]

1) Asus P8Z77-M-Pro -11000,Even though I own this board, I would prefer the gene for OCing.
2) Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X -22000,
3) OCZ Vertex4 256GB -13500, Take a 128gb, spend the same money in a sapphire 7970.
4) Corsair HX650 -7000, This is over kill. TX650v2 can do the job. If cfx is an option, 650 might not be enough.
5) Corsair 300R -4300,
6) Corsair H60 Cooler -3950, Try for H80 or higher.
7) Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2133MHz -4500, Gskills
8) APC Back-UPS RS 1100VA -5100,
9) Asus 24B5ST DVDRW -1000,
10) Antec 140mm BLUE LED Fans 4Pcs -2200. Make sure the 300r can fit 140mm fans everywhere.
TOTAL -74,550.

change the mobo to gigabyte z77 xd3h@11.5k
and for gaming only buy i5 3570k@13k
why ax750? buy tx750@6.3k
change the gpu to gtx670 power edition @??k *25-26k*
change the chassis to cooler master haf 912 combat @4.1k *buy haf 912 advance if you can or haf 922*
why 6 led fans?? a front led fan 200mm is badass..
ssd is good

what about keybord mouse ,headset?
I'm a razer fan so i dont know about other brands ...that much!
but good gaming gear always makes a diffrence especially if you're a bf3 or any other fps player
that's it I guess
nothing is future proof!!

upscale back to 100k and go for 7950 CF[dont forget PSU]. future proof for atleast 2-3yrs.

Where is the link for Intel SSD 335 240GB at 10,500.I can't find it anywhere locally.

why ax750? buy tx750@6.3k

TX750 = cable mess.

TX750 = cable mess.

+1.

OP can look at Seasonic X-750, which would cost less than AX750 (it basically uses same components internally) and has one or two more connector provisions such as additional 4 pin EPS connector, which would benefit in future upgrades.

But then again... Seasonic service/RMA is handled by Tirupathi which is know to be bad. Corsairs customer service is top notch. You jts need to call them up on 18004255464 and they'll take care of your problem. I can vouch for their service. I wish Seasonic do something about their service pretty soon.

I didn't had problem with them myself (I'm using Tagan BZ800 since Jan 2008) but one of my friends had Seasonic SMPS last year and when they had issues with them Tirupati said they don't have them in-stock to process replacement and offered a refund after many days of follow-up. Let me ask him if he has the refund note or any sort of document from Tirupati with him which I can share in the thread you started.

 

[sumonpathak]

sure
will be waiting...
