Intel Gaming rig for 60 - 70 K in Hyderabad. Should be future proof for 3 years.

[funskar]

Hi guys.. long time since I posted here.. Yesterday went to Arun Computers CTC hyderabad and got the below quote

Product	Price
i5 3570k	14,000
ASRock Z77 Extreme 4	10,200
Corsair Vengence 8GB (2*4) 1600 CL9	2,900
WD Cavier Black 1 TB	5,750
Sapphire 7950 Vaporx	22,500
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo	2,200
Corsair 400R Cabinet	4,600
Corsair GS 600 SMPS	4,600

What do you think about the above price? Can I get it any cheaper?

Don't buy asrock..
get gigabyte g1 sniper

@Myth So you think I can negotiate even more? I am particularly not happy about Cabinet, SMPS and HDD prices.

@funskar Any reason to avoid ASRock? how about gigabyte z77x-ud3h?

Buy Gigabyte, it's a good board. ASRock boards don't have the best quality components. Something about their capacitors and MOSFET blah blah blah. I don't understand electronics at that level.

Finally.. bought my components from Arun Computers CTC . Total cost Rs. 74,300.

Component	Price
i5 3570k	13,950
Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H	12,350
Corsair Vengance 2 X 4 GB	2,900
WD Cavier Black 1TB	5,950
Saphire 7950 VaporX	22,500
Corsair 400R	4,600
Corsair GS 600	4,600
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo	2,250
APC Back-UPS 1100kv	5,200

I bought Samsung S22B370H hdmi monitor 2 months back for Rs. 8,800.

So.. what do you guys think?

^^ My rig is awesome.. particularly the graphic card beats 7970 when overclocked. The tricky part is overclocking i5 3570k.. becoming unstable and high temps after 4.5 ghz. dont know why. may be I dont know how to overclock it properly. In anandtech there is an article written about IB OCing and it says if you undervolt it and then overclock it will be stable. I dont know.. did not try it. Just increased the multiplier thats all. As for Gigabyte mobo its just 2k more than asrock extreme 4 and gigabyte is tried and tested brand thats all. GSkill is not available anywhere in hyd when I bought my rig so went for corsair. Hope this helps.
