[dippi_taurus]

Hi guys, I'm trying to put up a new config. I would very much like your opinions here. Below is my new config -
Processor -
Intel Core i7-2600K

Motherboard -
1. Asus P8Z68-V Pro
2. Asus P8Z68 Delux
3. MSI Z68A-GD80

RAM -
Corsair Vengence 1600 MHz 2x4GB

Chasis -
1. Cooler Master HAF 922
2. Cooler Master HAF 932

PSU -
Corsair TX850

I would like to know what you guys think about this config and also would like to know the price of them.
Thanks in advance.

Go with Asus Z68 V pro and i72600K
It will be the best combination and also Go with the 932 cabins they will pay u what u worth.

Since you are getting K series CPU, I think you have plan for overclocking or adding an aftermarket CPU cooler in future. In that case don't get Corsair Vengeance modules as they are very big, most of the cases they creates problem while installing an after market cooler.
Instead get Gskill Ripjaws 1600Mhz DDR3 4GB F3-12800CL9S-4GBRL X 2 @ (1.75K X 2) = 3.5K

@dippi_taurus: Adding to Cilus's Suggestion, Since your motherboard have a option of front USB 3.0, HAF 932 or 922 is just waste as they won't support front USB3.0.

Investing on HAF 912 Advanced [6k] or HAF X[11k] will be wise.

2. Asus P8Z68 Delux - Rs. 15,500
3. MSI Z68A-GD80 - Rs. 13,500

RAM -
Corsair Vengence 1600 MHz 2x4GB - Rs. 3600

Chasis -
1. Cooler Master HAF 922 -
2. Cooler Master HAF 932 - Rs. 8200

PSU - Corsair TX850 - Rs. 6500

My suggestion-

1)Intel i7 2600K with Thermalright CPU Cooler TRUE Black 120 Rev. C cpu cooler with 2X Coolermaster Xtraflow 2200Rpm Push/Pull Fan.You need after market cooler for 2600k its gets over 85*C with stock cooler with HT enabled.
2)Asus P8Z68 V-pro(If rashi peripheral is good at your place) otherwise MSI Z68A-GD80(B3)
3)Gskill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL @3.35k.
4)Corsair TX850V2
5)Coolermaster Haf X

If your budget is not a problem then go for HAF X.

I still need advice for the following guys.
1. A 40GB or 60GB or 80GB SSD. I don't have any idea about the budget. But you can tell me a good but reasonable one on the budget.

2. Cooling system for the CPU-
a. Thermalright Silver Arrow CPU cooler or
b. Corsair A70 dual 120mm fan CPU cooler
[Will the cooler be enough if the CPU is overclocked or not?]

3. RAM - Should I go with -
a. Kingston 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz or
b. Corsair XMS 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz
[Regarding Gskill I haven't checked them yet at the shop. So, don't know if they are available. But there is Kingston and Corair. Also should I opt for dual channel or triple channel?]

4. PSU - I wanted to know which among the following should I go for
a. Corsair TX 850 Modular
b. Corsair HX 850 Modular
c. Corsair AX 850 Modular
[What's the difference among these? You don't have to worry about the budget. Also, should I go for a normal one or modular? Suppose I go for a modular one and I don't use a couple of components like graphics card etc., will the PSU still draw that much power? I mean if I buy any of the above and don't buy a GPU and a sound card [maybe in the future], will the PSU still draw up that much power which is gonna be waste?]

5. GPU - I would like to know both ATI and Nvidia cards for the same system spec. and PSU above. I'd like it if you could recommend me the cards for 3 budget groups.
For Rs. 5k, for Rs. 10k and for Rs. 15k. Now, the cards shouldn't be noisy and it should be cooler. Also, I'd like Sapphire for ATI cards. Don't know which is good for Nvidia ones.
[I have a 18.5" LCD incase you wanted to know.]

6. OS - Cost of Windows 7 Ultimate Retail pack.

Regards.

OCZ 60GB Agility 3 SATA III @ 7.5k

2. Cooling system for the CPU-
a. Thermalright Silver Arrow CPU cooler or
b. Corsair A70 dual 120mm fan CPU cooler
[Will the cooler be enough if the CPU is overclocked or not?]

get Noctua NH-U12P-SE2 @ 3.6K~.

3. RAM - Should I go with -
a. Kingston 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz or
b. Corsair XMS 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz
[Regarding Gskill I haven't checked them yet at the shop. So, don't know if they are available. But there is Kingston and Corair. Also should I opt for dual channel or triple channel?]

dual channel. sandybridge supports dual channel.
order G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB online.

4. PSU - I wanted to know which among the following should I go for
a. Corsair TX 850 Modular
b. Corsair HX 850 Modular
c. Corsair AX 850 Modular
[What's the difference among these? You don't have to worry about the budget. Also, should I go for a normal one or modular?

TX850 V2 is not modular psu. HX850 is. and AX850 is modular + gold rated.

you can get Seasonic X 850 which is modular + gold rated. AX850 is based on it only. But seasonic x 850 is cheaper at 9.5k.

the psu will deliver only the power you need.

5. GPU - I would like to know both ATI and Nvidia cards for the same system spec. and PSU above. I'd like it if you could recommend me the cards for 3 budget groups.
For Rs. 5k, for Rs. 10k and for Rs. 15k. Now, the cards shouldn't be noisy and it should be cooler. Also, I'd like Sapphire for ATI cards. Don't know which is good for Nvidia ones.
[I have a 18.5" LCD incase you wanted to know.]

for a 18.5" lcd you wont need to spend 15k. a MSI R6770 @ 6.5k will do good. a MSI R6850 Cyclone Power Edition @ 9.3k is futureproof solution.
if you will upgrade to a full hd monitor later get MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC @ 15.3k.

 

[MegaMind]

@dippi_taurus, TX750 V2 is more than enough for ur rig even if u go for 6950 CF..

 

[d6bmg]

Do not use Corsair Vengence modules with i7-2600K.
Reason: you need an aftermarket cooler while running i7-2600K and vengence modules are too much bulky to handle with any aftermarket RAM cooler & also it may create problem some aftermarket coolers while installing.

 

[Cilus]

^^I've mentioned it in the 1st post of mine in this thread. Ang again, where you are getting the Ram cooler thing. Ram coolers are itself very large and can handle a Vengeance module but they are not required.
