Need a new Semi-Gaming PC under 80k

[sharang.d]

I think , you will be satisfied with the stock speed of the I7 2600K .
BTW , I7 2600K is available @ 17.5K !!!
Also there is I7 3820 in your budget !!!

I do plan to over clock for sure.. so I think i7 2600k is my best best (3820 is not 'k' series). Thanks for the price.. i knew it.
What's the use of i7-2600k if i don't OC it?? It's made to be OC'ed!
Also I'm set on i7-2600k now.. so don't give me more options and confuse me
Just kidding.

I7 3820 can oc like HELL !!!

The 2600K uses cheaper
motherboards and RAM...
MA FREND haD just bought an i7 3820 with AsRock
Extreme 4 X79 motherboard, but haven't installed
it yet.
I read quite a few reviews and the 3820 was
slightly faster, partly due to the extra 0.2Ghz and
also due to the Quad Channel RAM, but Gaming
performance was pretty much the same.
If you have the funds for the better
motherboards and RAM, then the 3820 will be
better but they will end up about the same price.
The new Z77 motherboards for the 2600k are
worth a look though.
If you are happy to over-clock the 2600k, it can
get pretty fast at about 4.5Ghz, whereas the 3820
requires a different over-clocking method
so, basically after you have bought the different
motherboard and ram for the X79, it will be a
similar price.

Ok so i researched about 3820. Performance-wise not a very big difference.
I think I'm gonna stick with 2600k itself. Also the 2600k is more established and has more community support!

Ok . It is ur Choice . I just have my Suggestion ?

I know. You are free to give your inputs.. thanks!

 

[the_conqueror]

For mobo you can go for P8Z77v pro @ 16k. Yes you were right and me wrong, the dual channel RAM would be a better choice.

 

[dfcols71]

the mobos i have suggested to you are the best vfm one ,you can look in these review.
4-Way Intel Z77 Motherboard Round-up > Final Thoughts - TechSpot Reviews
ASRock Z77 Extreme6 : Six $160-220 Z77 Motherboards, Benchmarked And Reviewed
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Review - Introduction
cpu cm 212 evo is more than enough, i think you can get it cheaper in mumbai case ,i suggested,because you said you r planning for haf 922,if you can afford go for nzxt switch,if you want cheaper corsair carbide 400r or nzxt souce elite 210 ,graphics card if you need i would suggest amd 7000 series or nvidia gtx 600 series whichever suits your budget and requirement you can select,only brands are to be decided msi,saphire,gigabyte,evga, zotac and his.

noctua is difficult to install and also fit in some mid tower cabinets , also connecting additional 8 pin/4 pin atx connector in some cases is difficult with noctua cooler,cooling cpu is onething and cooling inside cabinet is another,for proper inside case you atleast 3-4 fan setup,also certain ram fitting is difficult,you may have to go with low profile heat spreader ram like gs sniper to fit

 

[d6bmg]

What about the P8Z77-V PRO(16,060 INR on theitwares.com)? I would go for Z77 over Z68 just for the onboard usb 3.0. Will P8Z77-V PRO give better performance(or same) than p8z68 v pro?

If you have plans to go for SB processor, 2600K, there is no difference at all between those boards.

And stay away from liquid cooling, be happy with Air cooling unless you have the scope of importing everything related to watercooling.

Asus P8Z68-VPro @ 15k
Intel Core i7 2600k @ 18k
G-skill ripjawsX 2x4 GB 1600 Mhz @ 3.5k
WD Caviar Blue 1 TB sata III @ 7k
Sapphire HD 7850 @ 15k
Corsair TX650 @ 6.5k
Corsair H100 @ 7k
Corsair carbide 500r @ 6k
Total @ 78.5k
I've suggested a graphic card also because 9800gt is not enough to game at 1080p. It is your wish, if you wanna buy it then buy otherwise leave.

The best config within 80K. Only thing it doesn't have it internal wi-fi receiver.
For that you need to buy Asus USB 300N wifi adapter @1.3K

About AsRock boards: Noone of them comes close to the build quality & reliability of top end Asus/Gigabyte boards. I've mentioned that several times before bu I think it is one of the phases when AsRock fever is ruling this forum.

coolermaster 212 evo is enough for moderate overclock 4.6-4.8 ghz unless planning for heavy overclock go with liquid cooling

With Hyper 212 EVO one can't go beyond 4GHz in India. The example you came through over the internet are from those countries where ambient is ~25C.

@OP: if you plan to overclock 4.6GHz and above with air-cooling, you have no choices other than Noctua-D14. Buy that from primeabgb who sells it @5350/-
You won't regret that.

bla bla bla..

Dude, seriously, do you have any idea about what you are saying?
Use dammed google & stop misleading people. As far as I can remember, in past 4-5 days you have done it in several threads.

Just FYI: i7-3820 is the only locked LGA2011 processor which can't go beyond 4.2GHz. And to reach 4.2GHz mark, one need water-cooling.

You sir have completely confused me(once again ) regarding the mobos. Actually the thing is I trust ASUS to be more reliable/sturdy/durable over ASRock anyday I wouldn't mind spending 5k more for that quality!

Thanks for the cooler inputs.. much appreciated
As i said I will be deciding my mainboard for now so i won't derail off it(just for now). Cabinets will come into picture later
@Bold part : Can someone please explain that to me in detail?

If you have plans to go for SB processor, 2600K, there is no difference at all between those boards.

I don't mind getting the newer one for ~2k extra.. native usb 3.0 looks good!

And stay away from liquid cooling, be happy with Air cooling unless you have the scope of importing everything related to watercooling.

Accepted.

About AsRock boards: Noone of them comes close to the build quality & reliability of top end Asus/Gigabyte boards.

Words straight out of my mouth

Thanks for the info. I think I'll be going for noctua then. DO you have any other choices in mind?

Just FYI: i7-3820 is the only locked LGA2011 processor which can't go beyond 4.2GHz. And to reach 4.2GHz mark, one need water-cooling.

Thanks for the clarification. I never considered 3820 in the first place.. i googled before

 

[d6bmg]

Actually if you look at different bookmark result, the native USB3.0 of AsusP8Z77-V ans other versions are not faster than 3rd party USB3.0 controllers present in AsusP8Z68-V and other boards.
Interesting fact, but it is a bit slow that 3rd party USB3.0.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll be going for noctua then. DO you have any other choices in mind?

Nothing better.
D-14 is high cooler. So, you need to buy high mid tower cases like Corsair 400R/500R etc.
About your HyperX 2133MHZ ram query, sadly, it is not available in India. When you buy Noctua D-14 you can use all GSkill RipjawsX RAM, but nothing taller that that. You can't use Corsair dominator RAM etc.

OOoooooooops.. Can you give me a link please?

Yeah i figured out about the cooler.. amazing reviews and videos. Awesome site. They've given compatibilty with all mobo/RAM charts. I really like such websites! What about the warranty? Is it valid in India?

Yeah i got about the RAMs from the Noctua site. Really helpful!

P.s How to make a table?


So yeah so far this is IT :

Update (Fixed Stuff)

Processor |Intel Core i7-2600k
CPU Cooler |Noctua NH-D14

 

[d6bmg]

Apparently, none of the users who use D-14 cares about warranty cause there nothing in there which can be damaged.

About making table, just quote any table, and you will see. I can't show you the format cause, if I make that format it will turn into table automatically.

Okay.

That's what i did in the first place but I couldn't see the separators('|') now i quoted someone else's post and i do.

UPDATE:
Okay so I'm torn between two motherboards now..
GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB WIFI ~17k [I'm leaning more towards this one]
and
Asus p8Z77-v PRO ~16k

Help me decide one.. State your reasons please. Thanks!

 

[d6bmg]

Both are equally good.

 

[sharang.d]

Both are equally good.

Exactly my problem
Okay moving on I think we should talk about RAM. I need 8GB RAM. Any suggestions?

 

[the_conqueror]

Get the G-skill RipjawsX 2x4 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz @ 3.5k

 

[sharang.d]

Get the G-skill RipjawsX 2x4 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz @ 3.5k

I have a question. The i7-2600K supports 1333Mhz mem max. Does this mean I can't run the above mentioned RAM kit at its full potential?
Also I have no idea about RAM OCing. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

 

[the_conqueror]

I think that there are some 3rd party controllers embedded on the motherboard that enable the high frequency RAMs to run on it. The asus p8z77v pro supports the 1600 mhz ram.
The mobo supports XMP a.k.a xtreme memory profile. RAM can be OCed by selecting the XMP you want to enable for your ram via the BIOS. Before buying the RAM please make sure that the RAM has low latency timings. 9-9-9-24 are generally found latency timings on most RAM modules. G-skill ripjawsX are good quality RAM modules with heatsinks so you don't need to worry about heat while OCing.

You just have to use XMP profiles present in BIOS. Not a big problem.

Agreed. My questions still remains the same.. The i7-2600k processor page suggests the following(look at the part in the red box) *i.imgur.com/KYAXb.png
SO it means my mobo supports more than 1600Mhz, but Processor doesn't? How does that work? It would be great if you could give me a link to RAM OC Stuff. I don't know anything about RAM OC.

Before buying the RAM please make sure that the RAM has low latency timings. 9-9-9-24 are generally found latency timings on most RAM modules. G-skill ripjawsX are good quality RAM modules with heatsinks so you don't need to worry about heat while OCing.

Sure. I'll read more about this. Thanks!

Got it, thanks.

Now the ASUS p8z77-v pro page says :

Memory
4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 2600(O.C.)/2400(O.C.)/2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600/1333 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel Memory Architecture
Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)

and the GIGABYTE z77x-ud5h-wb wifi page says:

Memory
4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of system memory
* Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 2400(OC)/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules
Support for non-ECC memory modules
Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules

Notice any difference? Why does it say that GIGABYTE only gives one OC frequency and ASUS so many?

Help me with my RAM queries HERE please -> Click me!

UPDATE:
Is
G.Skill RipjawsX 1600Mhz 4G x 2 (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL) the best 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM i can get under 5k?

Also is the Kingston KHX1600C9D3LK2/8GX available? in India? It's really good IMO. Comment please.
