Medium Gaming PC

[josin]

Won't be a problem. CPU cooler is a non essential component. You can check performance with stock cooler and later on add it if you need. IMO with a good cabinet, cpu cooler won't be required

Ok then... I'll see hows the temp with ths stock cooler and then upgrade if necessary.

is Cooler Master HAF 912 Combat Mid Tower Cabinet coming with built in fans? isn't it a bit overpriced?
any other good options in 5K price band?

^Yes haf 912 comes with 2 fans (rear and front) ,with Usb 3.0 and a side window if you want .
Looks a beauty ,i got it for 4.5k (including tax and a side window )

Cooling is very efficient !! Go for it...!

you need an apc 1100va ups. 600 va is not enough.alao my suggeston would be to get an after market cpu cooler. i am also from kerala and my i7 reaches 85 degrees while gaming in summer. so i5 will be a little bit less and probably reach 80 degrees. also haswell is hotter than ivy. get atleast hyper tx3 evo.

I already have an APC home ups/inverter of 1.4KVA. So an in-line correction of 600 Va should be enough for me. Well i'll check the temps with the stock cooler, if its not enough then only i want to upgrade (as the stock cooler is free i see no harm in trying them).

VA rating of UPS is not equal to power delivered by it in watts.600VA ups approx provides 360-400W of power which is not even the full capacity of your psu(620w seasonic).it doesn't matter if you connect your ups to even 20KVA inverter as the max power provided by it to psu will be less than 400W.

No,i got my haf 912 from Nehru place,Delhi.

Ok. Thanks for the info

apc 600va ups will give 360watts of power output. with full load i5_280x will consume more power than 360 watts and your ups may fail to provide enough wattage and hence risking your components.

I am planning to invest in a solar UPS of 2500W and that's why I don't want to invest in a high grade ups. This is the one i am planning to invest. The change over time of of the system is claimed to be less than 3Ms as per my friend ( who is an electrical engineer) and he says the output of this system is much better than any home ups and is almost equal to server grade ups.

Interesting configuration.

I think the cooler master led fans is a waste of money. With that money I can easily buy a radiator to keep the temp down. The graphics card you suggested is not value for money IMHO

 

[ASHISH65]

if you no plan to oc cpu,then i5 K is waste instead settle down with i5 4570 and a h87 board + get r9 280x

Cabinet - Antec Gx 700 @ 4.2k

Seasonic s12 620w @ 5.2k

Ya I agree with you. I have no plans to over clock.

 

[harshilsharma63]

Ya I agree with you. I have no plans to over clock.

Then i5 4570 and a good H87 board plus cpu cooler will be best.

Consider this:

i5 4570 (14000)
Asus H87E (9700)
Kingston HyperX Blu 1600 MHz 4 GB x2 (4800)
WD Blue 1 TB (4100)
Seasonic S12II 620 W (6200)
Sapphire DualX R9 280X 3 GB OC (23500)
Samsung 840 EV O 120 GB (7200)
NZXT Phantom 410 (6500)
Sell S2240L (9000)
Logitech G400 (2699)
CM Hyper 212 EVO (2500)
Asus optical drive (1000)
Logitech G105 (2600)

+1 for this but try
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10) 4700

^^ Why? Both Kingston and Corsair offer 10 years of warranty and in almost all the reviews, it is shown that Kingston HyperX does have better overclocking potential and capable of running at tighter Cache latency than the Vengeance Ram modules.
