[varun004]

Varun, i respect your opinion, but 670 sli seems a far cry for me.

My final config.
i7-3770k
Asus p8z77 pro
WD black 2 TB
Asus matrix 7970 ghz edition
G.Skill RipjawsX 8 GB
CM EVO
Corsair 400R
Ultrasharp U2312HM
Logitech G500 and G550
Corsair TX650v2

Just need suggestions on HEADSET. Budget- 5-6K.

with that budget i would have gone the sli/corssfire way. Its your loss i am telling you from my experience only.

But then, I would have to sacrifice on other components.

[Sainatarajan]

Hey OP go with the config in post 33 , it has cf and i7 3770K...what you need more.

 

[harshilsharma63]

@v2ibh2v; get the deepcool assassin instead of evo, it's a lot better than evo.

Dont confuse yourself unnecessarily. The rig you have chosen is great. Just be sure to get a single powerful card like the 7970 Matrix you have chosen since you will be gaming on a single monitor that has 1920x1080 lines at refreshes at 60 frames per second. You are fine with the config. A dual card set up has a lot of head aches from power to heat to drivers and stuttering and the wait for updated drivers to let you play your favourite game the way you would want to.If you were getting yourself a monitor that had resolutions beyond 1920 x 1080 i would have suggested an SLi ( CF is a pain). TC.

The headphone has been suggested.

 

[draco21]

myth has really given nice config....... But do 660 sli

Extend till 130k and u would even get ssd and gaming kb/mouse... else they can be got later....

@ topgear why was anirbandd warned??? no flaming from him whatsoever.......

 

[V2IBH2V]

Okay. Risk accepted.
Thanks for your rig, Myth. I will be going for his rig.

But instead of 7950 cf, I will be going for 660 Ti SLI.
According to this

*www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Frame-Rating-GeForce-GTX-660-Ti-and-Radeon-HD-7950/Crysis-3

 

[Sainatarajan]

HD 7950 CF is Simply better than the GTX 660 ti SLI . Go with it blindly . You can OC HD 7950 to match the HD 7970 stock.

 

[The Incinerator]

Just dont go CrossFire you will regret. I will again say if Dual card go SLi or stick to single powerful card. CF microstutter will kill all the joy of gaming.You get micro-stutter due to the difference in the time to draw a frame on one card compared to the other card. Kepler in some way has now solved this a to a large extent by forcing (in hardware, not software) the cards to synchronize the time they take to draw a frame so it's equal.

 

[V2IBH2V]

@sainatarajan..
No bro,. Just go to the link I've provided.

 

[draco21]

Going by tht link, at fhd res. , sli is ovious when taking between sli / cf..... simply better.......

 

[V2IBH2V]

So, im doing it right.. Yes?

 

[gagan_kumar]

u know its still not clear as which is better GPU 660ti or 7950 .........
many other reviews favour 7950.

 

[anirbandd]

yes.. the moment he confirms something confuse him..

 

[harshilsharma63]

yes.. the moment he confirms something confuse him..

OP, stick to what you've decided so far.
