^^ Graphics card too weak

OP get atleast a GTX 680/ 670 AMP or a 7970 if you're going to make a 100k rig

CPU - i5 - 3570K - 13.5k
Mobo - Maximus Gene V - 15 K (Or Asus Z77 V Pro, I really hate spending more on mobo than the proc, but Indian prices make that kinda hard)
GPU - 7970 - Range of 30-40K depending on your brand preference.
RAM - 8GB GSkill RipJaws - 3K
Monitor - Dell S series(18K) or LG IPS (14K). Asus monitors are suggested but I have little to no knowledge about them.
PSU - Corsair HX 650. - 6.5K
HDD - WD Caviar Black 2TB - 10K (Not 100% sure about the price.)

Water cooling over-rated IMO. Air cooling should be enough for OCing.

H212 or a Noctua will do just fine.

2. I want 27" monitor or 24" ips monitor man??

Guys please i want best config which can last long about 5-6 years.


And why you all are suggesting radeon gc over nvidia.
I mean i know that amd radeons recent drivers have boosted the games performance, but any other reason?

We can't guaranty that. Nobody knows what will happen after 5 years in hardware market. What we can do is to suggest the best configuration of this time that fits within your budget and does have good upgrade option. Hitman4 has suggested you a very good configuration and according to me, Core i5 3570K + HD 7970 combination is the best one for gaming.

1. well both the cpus are good but unless you are multitasking i prefer intel... Anyways gaming performance are judged by the Gpu's mainly
2. Go for Dell ST2440L IPS monitor around 12.5k..

Editing a few things in Hitman's config.
Op hasnt requested a SSD.

HDD: WD 2tb black @ 10k
UPS: APC 1.1kva @ 5.1k
Cabinet: Corsair 400r is ok. 500r is overpriced.

Everything else looks good. If total is over budget, trim the mobo as well :razz:

Never trim a mobo for God's sake, it's the component that will receive least upgrade, if at all, so always better to give it your best shot.

And at that budget of OP an SSD is a must IMO.

It wont be that bad if OP takes the Asus P8Z77-V or the Gene instead of the pro to cut down on expenses.

IMO SSD is an unnecessary expense for just gaming.

+1 for i5-3570K and HD 7970.

Because HD 7970 will be faster in the long run as it has 3 GB VRAM. (It's already faster than GTX 680 now) HD 7970 3 GB can run games with higher amount of AA than GTX 680 2 GB. Plus, it has much higher compute performance and with all the three next-gen consoles - PS4, Xbox Next and Wii U having AMD GPUs, I can see developers optimising their games more for AMD GCN.

:) you remind me of myself (I had a same thought till very recently - a month ago) and I beg to differ by the very same opinion now.

Use an SSD and you will know what I am or anyone here is talking about.

I disagree and have proof too that fx 8350 and i7 3770k are neck to neck in real world performance rather than synthetic benches.

Getting fx 8350 will not only decrease the expenditure on cpu + mobo but will also be a better investment considering more and more games are starting to use 4 threads and soon with the commencement of new gen consoles i bet games will actually start making use of the 8 threads available to fx 8350 !

So imo an FX 8350 + HD 7970 Ghz edition V2 will be the best combo .

Also don't forget that the lga1155 will be defunct pretty damn soon while am3+ will still last at least till another gen.
