Hi Vicky

As of now, Intel SSD 510 (SATA3, 6Gbps) is not available in India, I will have to order it from USA and cost me 18,000 ~ 19,000

So I will wait....

 

[abhidev]

instead of multi-monitor setup i would suggest to go for a better and bigger hd led monitor and also instead of crossfire go for HD 6970....just a suggestion though

well all the best for the new setup.

 

[Demon Lord]

Go for Sapphire HD 6970 CF. The chip slots perfectly, too
perfectly in my opinion, below
the 6970. Stock it's a fair bit
slower, and overclocked it's a
little bit slower.
COURTESY:Overclock3d MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II review.
i7 2600k would be better.
go for the asus mobo that u have listed.
get a ssd

Hi Abhidev

I have two options, either i buy Dell U2711 (27 " inch) which will cost me 43,000 approx or 3 x Dell U2311H @ 45,000/-.

I think later one is better solution as per my requirement (Gaming + Office Work)....

Hi Demon Lord

Most of the time I play Counter Strike Source,

2 X 6950 will cost me = 30,000/-

and

2 x 6970 will cost me = 42,000/-

and and in Gaming 2500k is better CPU @ lower price... you can check many reviews online.

 

[game-freak]

my suggestion
1. buy dell U2711 instead of buying 3x dell U2311H

2. go for a modular power supply something like corsair HX series, corsair has much better power supply's than cooler master

3. instead of buying Corsair H70 go for Noctua CPU cooler

4. go for a full tower case like cooler master HAF X

 

[Extreme Gamer]

my suggestion is if you want extremely immersive gaming,nothing below 3 monitors is enough.if you want more performance (i.e. fps) then single 27"

also get two 6970s in CF as minimum.even better get two GTX 580 3GB cards.1080px3 will chew up 2GB easily in games like crysis 1,metro 2033 and GTA IV.

also get 2600k.

if you can shop online,so far the Prolimatech Super Mega is the best air cooler out there.
But if you want watercooling,the minimum standard should be H70(its amazing.i have one in my bro's i7 860 setup).
or you can spend some real cash and get custom WC setup

 

[mukherjee]

the config looks nice...but I think you should get a i7 2600K since you are alredy spending quite a bit...

 

[abhidev]

trust me buddy ....you won't enjoy gaming on a 3 way partitioned screen...IMO better get a bigger monitor and i7-2600k for future proofing.

on what basis do you say that eh?

there is something known as bezel correction.then it wont appear bifurcated but more like a window.it will be very immersive I tell you.

I played RAMBO III in an arcade on a cruise ship (ive been on a few,dont remember on which one).it was with 3x28" or was it 27" screens.GFX was nothing stellar (obviously) but it was very immersive.

 

[neeku]

my suggestion
1. buy dell U2711 instead of buying 3x dell U2311H
I can multitask with 3 Monitors - Gaming on 1, Movies on another and Web Browsing on 3rd LCD

2. go for a modular power supply something like corsair HX series, corsair has much better power supply's than cooler master
Silent Pro Gold is modular

3. instead of buying Corsair H70 go for Noctua CPU cooler
Thanks, I will consider this

4. go for a full tower case like cooler master HAF X
It is Mid-Tower, but big enough..

my suggestion is if you want extremely immersive gaming,nothing below 3 monitors is enough.if you want more performance (i.e. fps) then single 27"
3 > 1


also get two 6970s in CF as minimum.even better get two GTX 580 3GB cards.1080px3 will chew up 2GB easily in games like crysis 1,metro 2033 and GTA IV.

also get 2600k.

Budget is limited...

H70 offers good performance

I am using Intel Core i7 980X in my Home PC, believe me it is waste, we dont need so much performance for casual gaming and day to day work... and I am building this PC for my office work + 1- 2 hours of Counter Strike

trust me buddy ....you won't enjoy gaming on a 3 way partitioned screen...IMO better get a bigger monitor and i7-2600k for future proofing.

I agree with you 27" inch is better for gaming, but 3 Monitor setup is good for Productivity...

 

[coolgame]

look for a monitor with thin bezel

 

[Extreme Gamer]

neeku i did say H70 is amazing.

3 monitors can give you an amazing time,in games especially.you should give it a try mate.

 

[neeku]

Thanks "Extreme gamer" I will go with them...

look for a monitor with thin bezel

Dell U2311H is nice LCD monitor with IPS Panel, and it has thin bezel with many connectivity options, Even I can connect my Macbook Pro with it...

If you know any better LCD please let us know...

Pretty much perfect, you may look for a lower capacity SSD as a boot drive and how about a Blue-ray drive? Choice of monitor and GFX card is perfect IMO.

 

[neeku]

Hi Skud

I am waiting for this Intel SSD 510 (SATA3, 6Gbps) 120GB, or will order from USA...

I think we can buy 1TB Hard Disk in 2,800/- and 50GB Blank Blu-Ray disk will cost you approx 800/-.... So tell me which is better ?

 

[Skud]

I was not including the Blue-ray drive for backup purposes, but for watching movies. You may want to look for a DVD writer-Blue-ray reader combo.

^^ Good Config....Go ahead & post some awesome pics of your rigs....
