Need help buying a new PC 100k

[Piyush]

actually i have no idea about mouse pads...
so going with your choice with eyes closed

there are basically 2 types of mats:
Control --> for mmorpgs and alike
Speed--> for fps and alike

and which caby according to you will be better cm 690 ii adv. or corsair 500r ??

Corsair Carbide any day

few more things i would like to ask...
1. is hyper 212 evo is enough for overclocking around 4.6GHz though i may only do it just for benchmarking and is it bad if i keep my cpu overclocked to 4.2GHz permanently on this cooler.

good enough but not totally dependable considering summer days in delhi

2. is tx650 v2 is enough cause when my gfx performance start to drop i mean when more demanding games come i may add another to make it sli/cf. (though i doubt that it may come anytime soon )

IMHO, get a single powerful card instead of 2 mediocre cards

I would rather say Razer Goliathus - Fragged Control Gaming Mouse Pad (Standard) | Mousepad | Flipkart.com
using it loving it. Corners are weaved, hence the chance of fabric coming out at latter point gets cleared out. It is large as well. Get speed edition as they are most easy get accustomed with

personal preference NZXT Phantom, loks awesome, and it is a Full Tower cabby

*Dont worry... Go ahead with Steelseries QCK Mass (M).
*Go for Corsair cabby.
*I'm currently running my i5-3570 OCed at 4.6 GHz with Hyper 212 Evo. Just buy one more fan and attach to other side of heatsink for Push-Pull config. Get this fan.... its the same one which comes with Hyper 212 but with LED. I'm using it.
*As Piyush said... always go for a sinlgle card than going for SLI/Crossfire... since the driver support for both of them is buggy at the moment. And in some cases you'll actually see peformance drop if you swithc on SLI/Crossfire.
*Wi-fi go ?? - To use its full functinality you'll need to have DLNA compatible devices & good tablet, mobile, tv , etc... If you have them then its fabulous.

Thats why I was not recommending it. Actually I'm using both Razer Gloiathus and QCK mass.. found QCK mass better than Goliathus. Size is definetely personal preference but its too large for my liking. And that Goliathus is a dust magnet man !!! I have to get it out of my room and clean it every 2 weeks

hehe, this is my first buy and I bought because of weaved, cleaning I am not much worried about. Users like me do not buy and test everything, take what seems to be best option and go ahead with as renewing wont be there. And there are size options, in office I use a 60 bucks mouse pad, holds good for me used it for almost one and half year after which have bought this.

then would hyper 412 slim do any good ??

i'm getting gtx670 or hd7950 they are very powerfull cards at the moment.
i was talking about the future when i need more gfx power i can add one more card to do that it will cost me way less then again buying top of the line card...

@mandarpalshikar
i'm going with QCK Mass

and i have WiFi setup with my other system (used for downloading only) and using that wifi on my laptop too that's why i thought it will be better if i have WiFi on the
mobo it self it will make me use the same setup without have to disconnecting either one of the system cause both the system won't be in same room so that i cannot make
wired connection on both of them...
and one more fact that its ATX form factor...

 

[mandarpalshikar]

^^ You can buy mpcie wifi card from intel (available for 1.3k) to fit into the mcpie combo card you get with MVG which will give you wifi connectivity. Or u can go for cheap USB wifi cards as well. Main function of that Wi-fi Go onboard is the DLNA thing if you have compatible devices.

ATX form factor - Thats what I said earlier dont ignore MVG for it is a mATX. Advantages of mATX board would be only
1. 2 more sata ports (we are not running a data center here... are we ?)
2. A bit more space between top two pciex16 slots (only usefull if you are going with tri-slot card to fit it the first slot and then going for SLI/Crossfire)
3. 3rd pcie slot which runs at x4 speed (which is always useless)

Basically both the boards are almost same with different coloring and some changes here and there. But the material being used for PCB building in both of them is same. So both are equally good in build quality. MVG will give your more overclocking than P8Z77-V.

Having said that P8Z77-V is also a gr8 buy.. . Its like deciding whether buy a Flashy Small Car or an SUV Your choice ultimately. Nothing wrong with both of them.
Dont think too much.... you cant go wrong with any one of them.

 

[akky89]

MVG it is then..
actually i wanted the ROG

can you please tell me where i can buy that mPCIe wifi module you suggested... ??

and please answere the queries about psu and cooler....


and can anyone tell me good place to buy all these components at good price ???

 

[mandarpalshikar]

Try this .... (NEW) Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG mPCIe WiFi Wireless Card (Rs. 1398)
I've purchased from this seller...so dont worry. Else you can also try the cheap USB Wi-fi cards available on flipkart.com. They work fine too.
Wireless USB Adapters Price List India: Network Components: Flipkart.com

Related to Cooler.. I think I already have posted about it.. refer my prvious replies. Hyper 212 with one extra fan is more than enough for moderate overclocks.

What doubts do u have about PSU ?

Places to purchase online -

flipkart.com
primeabgb.com
mdcomputers.in
theitdepot.com
theitwares.com

For local delhi market - no idea.. he he .. I'm from Pune.

here you go-
i5 3570k-15k
asus p8z77-v -16k
asus hd 7970 directcu2-33k
corsair hx 650-6.5k
corsair vengence 4gb X2 (overclocks like crazy)-3.2k
cooler master haf 922-8.5k
seagate 1tb-5k
corsair force gt 120gb-7k
BenQ G2420HD 10k
asus dvd drive-1.2k

although this over your budget , if you buy it from nehru place you should (after bargaining) get it for 99-1.02k
all the best!

i asked about hyper 412 slim, its about 1k costlier then evo but have bigger heatsink and low profile fans.

What doubts do u have about PSU ?

well i thought that i'll go sli/cfx when i need more gfx performance so i wanna know that will this 650W will be enough.. ??

For local delhi market - no idea.. he he .. I'm from Pune.

ya i can see that in your info...
that question was for delhi people

thanks anyways ...

^^ Be carefull about picking up corsair vengence modules... thier height is a bit more for CPU coolers. With Hyper 212 Evo... you cant use them in the first RAM slot if you fit in a fan on the RAM side. . And this is my personal experience.... I'm using Hyper 212 and had 4 vengence modules. Ultimately had to swap them with my friends Snipers.
So low profile RAMs from G.Skill like Sniper (not overclockable) and Ripjaws series are recommended. I thikn even Corsair has low profile versions.. but not sure of their availability.

i was finalizing mandarpalshikar's suggested config...
though your's is almost same to his.. but still...

thanks for the warrning...
i'll buy low profile RAMs only... to be on safe side..
can you suggest some which can be overclocked (not looking for extreme overclocking ... just a little to brag about )

1. Haven't used 412 Slim... so actually can't comment on it.
2. Yes. 650V2 is a fantastic PSU.... I had it running with Zotax GTX550Ti SLI build... 550Ti is a power hungry bad card and I had 2 of them running off 650V2 without any problems.

 

[panwala95]

if you want low profile ram then you can go for corsair xms3 modules @ 1.3k each.......

thanks for clearing that...
so going with tx650v2 only...

 

[panwala95]

yup they support intel xmp so they should overclock fine....

okies
what about vengeance LP ??

 

[panwala95]

the heat spreaders on the the xms3 look a bit more classy.....
also i dont think vengence lp is either not available or too costly to be considered

see i told you one 4gb module costs 2.8k-

G.Skill Sniper runs default at 1600 MHz and 9-9-9-24 .... You can change the latencies to 9-8-8-22... but this wont give you any performance boost... but they look cool for sure.
If you need you can go for 2133MHz modules but frankly its going to improve only the benchmark scores... no difference in real world sense like while palying games.

Also make sure you are not picking up those low voltage 1.25v RAMs. Go for 1.5v modules. Flipkart has listed the below Sniper RAM as 1.25V but its actually 1.5V. I'm using it now.

G.Skill Sniper DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR) | Ram | Flipkart.com
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL) | Ram | Flipkart.com

I haven't used anything apart from G.Skill, Corsair and Crucial.. so can't recommend any from say Kingston.

sir i think you didnt read his comment but he needs lp sticks of ram......
