^^ Don't buy a KB for its looks. Buy it for the comfort because KB and Mice are the things with which you interact on daily basis and so you should be comfortable with them, thats why I told you to get the taste first, try both Palm and Claw grip and see what suites you. I like palm grip and even a high end Claw grip mouse gives me headache. As for KB, K60 is a nice KB and the best part is that its mechanical which means that even regular typing on this KB would be really really good.
Also if you are planning on CF then get it now because next year we'll be having AMD 8xxx series or better, which would make 8xxx series a more sensible buy. I was in the same dilemma as yours, whether to buy a CF setup or a single card setup and if you have seen my threads then you already saw many discussion on this particular topic and why I choose CF setup instead of single card setup.

For palm grip, I guess Logitech G500 or G400 would be best. I have used Logitech G300 and now using G500, real comfortable and beast of a mice. I always prefer Logitech palm grip, I am kinda used to their design, for a long time I used MX518. :)
As for CF setup for your budget HD7870 would be best choice, however your budget will be increased because a pair of those cards would set you back for around 34-35K currently.
As for driver issues, you may face some issues with some games but nothing that can't be sorted out with a little tweaking. I know it because I have faces them and rectified them with a little tweaks and researching. Most recent example was FC3.

Crossfire of two mid-end cards are also more VFM. There are games already released, like Far Cry 3, which can already stress the highest end GPUs from both the Camps at the highest settings, even at 1080P resolution. But HD 7870 CF, it is a beast and can take any games with highest possible settings, being more than 30% powerful than the best single GPU solution.

Well 7950/7970 setup will allow you multi monitor gaming easily

& Yes some games have Poor support for CFX setup but performance is improving with newer drivers...

I guess a 7870 setup would be more than enough for you AFAIK unless you into multi-monitor thing. Anything higher than this would cost you too much and don't compromise on input and out devices because of this because you won't be able to enjoy the performance if you don't have nice KB+Mice+Headphones and Monitor. I mean even 7970 is good enough. I am not discouraging you or anything but only go for it without compromising on other products alright. :)

Out of the box, SLI offers smoother game play than AMD Crossfire solution because AMD Multi-GPU suffers from Micro stuttering. So if you want peace of mind, get SLI. But for Radeon cards, there is a third party tool available, known as Radeon Pro, which can significantly reduce Micro stuttering and in fact provides smoother Game Play with the Radeon cards than the comparable nVidia Solutions. Currently Sapphire HD 7870 is available around 16.6K and two of 'em will cost you almost same as a Custom version of HD 7970 and at the same price point there is no nVidia alternate available now.
So if you are willing to do some tweaks with the Radeon Pro settings then HD 7870 CF is a very good solution.

From what I gather by reading all the posts in this thread, I think that if you go for CF setup then you'll have to compromise on many things and I don't think thats a good idea. Increase your budget if you can or stick to 7970. :)

Yes now ill be purchasing a normal 60hz led gaming monitor.. Thanks for the advice..



Yes ill deduct speakers and will purchase this headphone....




As far as i know gtx 690 is the dual graphic card and is very expensive and power consuming but performance is unmatched.. It is above 2560x1440 and above resolution i.e, 3 or 4 monitor setup.. And for 1080p it is totally overkill..

For now ill be ppurchasing hd7970 and after a year ill purchase another hd 7970 and cf it... :)

@gameranand
I have seen ur making of cyclone and welcome to cyclone posts and it is wicked awesome pc...
And thanks for the advice about headphones ill buy that one..
And ill purchase k60 only as it has got looks...

Bro I was posting that of my phone at that time so sorry if it looked messy. You asked for a rig that could stand 4-5 years and gtx 690 is the best bet right now as I highly doubt a 7970 could??
Anyways I sured offered an interesting alternative i think ;)

And gtx 690 is a lot better than 970 cf as it runs cooler, is more silent, more efficient.

Oh "Cyclone" is running fine, blowing all the games out of the window when it comes to maximizing the settings. :)

^THIS: if you want to go into CF, do it now or dont do it.

firstly, when you buy a 7970 after a year, HD 8xxx series will already flood the market, and at the price of the 7970 you will get a card withmuch better specs. so it will be pretty lame to buy a 7970 then..

what you can do with a CF now, is that you can sell the CF off [you will get a pretty decent price.. see the price of 6950/70 now..] and get a 8xxx card with similar specs.

btw, you should seriously consider 7870CF with Radeon Pro. if you check toms hardware, you will see that with Radeon Pro, the Micro Stuttering is almost non-existant.
and with 7870CF you will get a performance far greater than 7970, but a price equal or less than the 7970. and the money for the 7970 that you would add later will be saved for a future investment.

Yeah well 7870 CF won't fit the budget. You see he can get a 7970 at around 26-27K or less but if he goes for CF setup then it would cost him around 34K. Also when you are running a CF setup in India then you have have to get a good cabby with lots of air for cooling that beast. At his budget he can easily get a 7970 but fitting a 7870 CF setup would be hard and for that he have to compromise on the other product which I won't advice. Trust me you do not want to compromise on KB, Mice and Headphones or you won't get the feel of the performance you are getting from your system. I mean how good is the game when you are not very comfortable with KB and mice while playing it ?? These are the reasons he skipped the CF and going for 7970 setup, a 7970 setup would easily serve him for around 3-4 years easily on ultra settings and around 4-5 years on high settings, no doubt about that. I mean if you have a 9800GTX then you can max out many games till now and I don't need to say old is that card. :)
