Dare To Be Naive.
intel i7 2600-15000
msi p67-gd55-9000
4 gb ram-3000
500 gb wd-1700
cm gx-550-4000
msi gtx 460 cyclone-10000
samsung 2233rz-18000

it costs you for 59.7k.the motherboard is a bit costly you can save upto 3000 by buying gigabyte gah57m-usb3 for 6000.

No need to go for a p67 based mobo as your processor is not "k" series.

Have a look at the following:

Intel core i7 2600 @ 14.9
Asus P8H67 M LE @ 6.5k
Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 2*2GB @ 2.9k
WD 500GB Caviar Blue HDD @ 1.7k
Seasonic s12II 520w bronze @ 4.2k
Dell ST2220L 21.5” W Full HD Monitor with LED @ 8.5k
MSI R6870 TWIN FROZER Graphics Card @ 15.5k
Apc 1.1kva ups @ 4.5k
NZXT Gamma @ 2k

Total = 60.7k


Overall a balanced and very powerful rig. The monitor is not 120hz and for that you need to buy nvidia 3d vision kit worth 10k extra.

Intel Core i5 2400 @ 9.5k
Gigabyte GA-H67MA-UD2H @ 7.5k
Corsair 4GB DDR3 1333 @ 2.3k
HIS HD6950 @ 18k
Seagate 500GB 7200.12 @ 1.7k
Corsair VX550W @ 4.5k
CM USP100 @ 3k
Dell Ultrasharp U2311H @ 13.7k

Total - 60.2k

3d is just too expensive currently. 3d glasses alone cost 10k. its waste.
since you wont overclock i5 2400 will be good enough for you.

Swimming, eh??
Boy, 5 k difference between cpu and gpu for a gaming rig.
Its been a long time so i'l have to do a wee bit research bout SB to fuel myslf before i advice though.

toady is back! welcome:-D

vicky currrently 2400 will suffice.
if you saw the review of anand there wasnt much diff b/w 2500k and 2600k with same gpu. so spend the rest on gpu. unless you need 8 threads (not at all for gaming!)

Haha.
Wazzup jaz bhai? Been a long time.
Still the einstein over the tdf i guess?
Btw, good config for gaming.
@op, yes, the 3D experience you are demanding for is quite expensive now, not to mention the severe headache caused due to it.
If you still want big screen experience, you can go with some projector, but that too, ofcourse will be costly.

ok leave 3d point...

confused b/w better cpu or gpu ?????

hows gtx 560 coming dis 25th jan ?????

since u r not a hardcore over-clocker I'll too recommend u to go for i5 2400 along with 6950
will be a great combo

and if u wanna go with nvidia's way,then its better to wait for upcoming 5xx series
a lot is being discussed about it

Well jas i would always go for the higher cpu if budget permits. Look.... the 2400 is meant for a budget upto 50k for the system imo.

Once you cross that , you start looking at higher options. Even i was thinking about a 6950 for the op but it just crossed the 60k mark. Games are getting multithreaded and will continue this trend in the near future with the advent of multicore cpu's. So if one has the budget, going for the fastest isn't a bad idea at all.

Op here can go for the i7 2600 + Amd 6950 and it will be a great option. He has to save up only 3k more.

Changing my rig for op:

Intel core i7 2600 @ 14.9
Asus P8H67 M LE @ 6.5k
Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 2*2GB @ 2.9k
WD 500GB Caviar Blue HDD @ 1.7k
Seasonic s12II 520w bronze @ 4.2k
Dell ST2220L 21.5” W Full HD Monitor with LED @ 8.5k
MSI R 6950 2PM2D2GD5 Graphics Card @ 18k
Apc 1.1kva ups @ 4.5k
NZXT Gamma @ 2k

Total = 63k


Op can also wait for gtx 560 release and make a purchase decision.

vickyji -

1. try to remain in present or near future. not 3 years ahead.
2. 2400 beats i7 950. and i dont think more power is needed especially for gaming.
3. in your rig - i prefer 2400 + 6970. (not 570. physx a waste. i prefer more fps and power).
4. spending 600 more bucks on 1600mhz ram is useless as these mobos support 1333.
5. since 6950 is sufficient currently and coming 1.5 years or so, i suggested IPS pannel.
6. he doesnt need 1.1kva ups. 800va will suffice IMO.

Jas you should always buy the most future proof config if more dough can be spent. i7 2600 is more future proof than i5 2400 anyday. No harm in going for a powerful cpu.

6970 is an utter flop imo and has less oc potential than gtx 570. gtx 570 even beats the 6970 in more benchmarks and can play physx based titles much more efficiently than a 6970. And 570 can give more fps than 6970 in full hd(1920x1080). I need not say this again but fermi architecture is more future proof than the vliw4 based caymans right now.

So i would suggest everybody going for a high end card to skip caymans altogether.

Barts can be recommended in the mid ranged segments.

You are right, op can go for 1333mhz rams and can shave off 0.5k from rams.
