@ The Incinerator grt suggestion.

@ OP Read thi thread if you have any more doubts regarding prices and performance, "*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-components-configurations/165129-gaming-rig-around-130k-13.html".
I also suggest you to try through Vedant computers Kolkatta as they seem to offer better prices.

Where is SSD and UPS ?? :p

Well if you are a hardcode gamer then I would suggest the following
Processor - Intel Core i7 3570K
Motherboard - Asus Maximus V Formula or Asus Maximus V Gene
RAM Corsair Vengeance 2.0 2133MHz
Hard Drive WD 1 TB + 120 GB SSD
Graphics Card - Sapphire HD7870 GHz Edition * 2 ( Crossfire) - Rs 33280
Power Supply - Corsair HX850
Cabinet - Your choice there are hundreds available, choose as per your liking
Keyboard - Razer Arctosa
Mouse - Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G400
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper Evo
Optical Drive - Any will do
UPS - APC 1.1KVA

I guess that would be all. :)

IMO every 100k+ rig deserves something better than a cooler master evo.

Anand you missed the Display!!:razz:
It was highly based on your rig with some alterations, with no actual performance drop(barring the SSD bursts), keeping the budget and the display in consideration.But if he can leave the SSD aside for now and get the the i7 based core rig at that budget it will be better. An SSD can be added anytime later,IMO.

Noctua?? ...ask anand how hard that is in India!!!:wink:

The cabinet is way too expensive and was Anand's personal preference. OP can opt for something else here(read low priced).
Same for PSU. I think a tx750 or a gs800 might work. HX850 seems like overkill.

And yes, we can skip the ssd. I dont mind waiting a few more seconds for os/game/app to load, to save 6-7k. :p

The cabinet and the PSU is one of the most important thing here since Crossfire was suggested and overclocking will be involved,a roomy cabinet goes a long way and the cabinet is probably the only item in this configuration which will last more than 2 builds,IMO.

I wouldnt suggest a GS800 for a HD7870 Crossfire set up at all. More over the GS 800 comes with only three years warranty and dosnt have an inspiring build quality.The TX 850 is more the way to go if he can do a proper cable management and the CM Storm Trooper provides enough space to do it. If he cant then an HX 750 should be the least. He has to leave some head room for the PSU after all the overclocking,fans, leds, HDDs etc etc,IMO.

The rig I configured was keeping in mind the upperlimits of his allocated budget (120K),but if he wants to keep it within Rs 100K,yes I will have to make some alterations.

Well I took the last one available in India with PrimeABGB. I don't think they have more, however they can arrange in like 1 month though and thats the reason I didn't mentioned it.

Well I am no expert in Display so didn't mentioned that. Better to skip rather than confusing OP with lame suggestions. I have BenQ G2420HD but with that budget he can easily get and IPS model and I would say go for IPS panel. :)

Well Cabinet is a personal choice and should be decided by OP himself, all we can do is give him alternatives and options. For example I hate NZXT for its design and many love it for the very same reason. For PSU if he is going Crossfire then TX850 would be minimum and he want modular then HX850 is minimum, so basically its upto OP.

A single card based rig is also an option, he can go for 7970 costing around 28.5K to 30K or he can opt for 7950 costing around 22K to 26K depending on the model. This is a suggestion provided his budget gets higher than he can afford or he can also go for a crossfire like me but with me I didn't had to buy Monitor costing around 15K which will have to be reduced from his budget. I think by Crossfire his budget would surely shoot. Completely personal take. :)

OP didn't stated his maximum budget, I mean the upper limit. Can he go beyond 120K or not.

Pro-Intel Core i7-3770k
Mobo-Asus Maximus V Gene
RAM-G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB better than Vengeance
HDD-Caviar Black or Blue (but not Green)
CPU Cool-Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 (for extreme clocking get a Corsair A70 otherwise the CM is ok )
Key-Razer Blackwidow - Expert Mechanical
Mou-Razer Death Adder Black
Speak-Logitech Surround Sound Z506
OD-Samsung or Asus better anyday
Grap Card- Asus GTX 680 (betetr than the Zotac you chose,IMO a 7970 is better VFM)
PowSup- Corsair TX/HX 750 or 850 (give CM GX series a miss)
UPS-APC 1100 VA
Monitor-LG D2342p Full 3d monitor
Cab-HAF 922 or NZXT Phantom

A little change here and there check if you like.

With the above config you are concentrating too much on accessories rather than robust core components like the CPU GPU RAM Motherboard PSU and Cabinet. Get them in order before going for expensive mechanical keyboards and mouse which can be upgraded in due time. But upgrading core components later will be futile. So better think before you buy.

1. Change the KB to Corsair Vengeance K60 or K90.
2. For GPU HD7970 would be a better choice.
3. If you are getting 2TB Green Edition then make sure that you also have a SSD.
4. For Mobo Asus Maximus V Gene would be better.
5. For GPU get Corsair TX750 if going for single GPU setup.

Thats all from me. :)

Take whichever comes in your budget.
Sapphire 7970 is more vfm though. Asus 7970 is just awesome, but at a price.
