Need Multitasking rig at 75k

techking_dinesh · May 31, 2011

Hello,
I had started a thread for my config a month back but i could neither arrive at a conclusion nor buy it then due to personal problems. So i am starting a fresh thread here
( moreover my last thread had a lot of debate on H , P , Z series mobo , i hope it is soughted and experts can now advice me for what to go for )

Purpose:
1. Designer by nature so multitasking of Corel , Photoshop , dreamweaver , GIMP , WMP , etc.
2. IT Engineering Student so projects and all coding stuff
3. Prefers Playing High end games like crysis , NFS , POP , etc
4. I want my system to be capable of after effects which i am doing at a basic level right now but plan to go way ahead in it
5. Watching casual movies

Open to alternate ideas: YES

Budget : 75k

Overclock: Not now , but maybe in future

OS: Win 7 primarily but i would like to have a partition with XP coz many of simple Programmes like Turbo C and stuff face problems in Win 7

HDD: 1TB minimum as i stock lot of images , vectors and other data

Resolution: Open to anything good for games and movies

Hardware Knowledge: 5

Assembled by : I have re assembled many times but i think i will prefer a assembler by my side

Buying Date: 15-20th June

Future proof Configs: Atleast 2-3 years

Already have : UPS / Inverter
** However we have a Compuinverter at home and my current PC works hrs on it without a UPS , so UPS can be dropped if you people think so , I will have to check how may Watts my Inverter Supports **

Lives in : Nashik
Will be buying from : Mumbai , Lamington road Mostly
I am open to online buying but i hesitate a little for buying electronic stuff online , have bad experiences .. so i wish i get the stuff on lamington road

Other points:
I wish... ( NEED NOT BE FULFILLED COMPULSARILY

)
1. Minimum of 8gb ram for my designing needs
2. 1TB HDD minimum
3. A Nice GPU ( Hope it fits )

at jaz..

Mymy .. Loved ur config..
Few ques..
800rs for mouse pad ?? Is it rlly necessary ??
Will i need a ups ? Wnt my compuinverter work .. I will save 4k if i drop this..
Kindly suggest 1TB hdd as i stated
Everyone is prefering dell monitors these days , is dis benq model better or close to dell true hd one ?
Is dis gpu strng enough for my after effects work ? Or should i go with a better one ?
U ended up d config in 70k.. Amazing bt i can spend 5k more plus save on mousepad and ups..
Would wish to spend that on hdd,gpu , monitor

Would think of another 4gb ram in d future , its nt needed atm

Thanks

i would even like a better cabinet if budget permits..

Cilus · May 31, 2011

JAs, since OP is having a P Inverter, I think he does not need an UPS. So the extra money can be used to get a Core i7 2600K which will give him a performance boost in the applications like Corel , Photo-shop , dreamweaver , GIMP etc.

Ragarding the Mouse and Mouse pad, My suggestion is Cooler Master Spawn with free Mouse pad @ 2.2K in SMC with free shipping. This one is way better than MX 518 and you will get the Mouse pad for free.

a cheap one would do fine.
You're choice

Get an i7 2600k @Rs.16500 if you can. Awesome proccy

techking_dinesh said:

Get a better procccesor, better long term investment.

techking_dinesh · May 31, 2011

@cilus
But jas has alrdy suggested i7 2600k , which one r u talking about ?
Comment on my gpu and monitor query too..

@ thetechfreak
Same ques , jas config alrdy has i7 2600k , then ??

Jaskanwar Singh · May 31, 2011

a good mouse should be paired with good mouse pad ;-)

mention specifications of your compuinverter
get a Seagate 1TB 7200.12 @ 2.7k
that benq monitor is bang for buck
yes, get 4GB now. add later if you feel the need
yes that gpu is good enough

ok some modifications -

techking_dinesh · May 31, 2011

will u plz tell me the difference between d GA mb and the asus mb ?
I love d rest of the config
I m a lil concerned over monitor and gpu

And I prefer a wireless kb,mouse

Update : 75k is budget for pc config without the ups. I ll b adding ups or inverter separately !!

Gigabyte Z68 boards(not all of them) don't have Virtu/Quick Sync and some of them don't even have IGPU video out. If you don't know about Virtu/Quick Sync; google it. In short that is & will be necessary for multimedia work.

following low end boards from Gigabyte supports lucid Logic Virtue:-

Z68X-UD3H-B3
Z68A-D3H-B3
Z68MX-UD2H-B3
Z68MA-D2H-B3

msi GTX 560Ti Hwak is a good card in your budget & you can add extra card in future and SLI. If you prefer Dell monitor then go for it with 1k extra buck

techking_dinesh said:

If you are talking about good quality wireless M&K; then I'll say waste of money in your budget.

Prices are excluding VAT so you have to pay 4% more on total price, keep that in mind ;-)

the radeon 6950 is better choice.
Check out the review of hawk at hardocp. A stock 6950 beats a highly oced 560 (the hawk) in 3 of 5 games and almost all of them taxing.
And cfx of 6950 matches a 570 sli. While a 6870 cfx is close to 560ti sli.
The power consumption of 560 oced is sky high for offering similar performance to stock 6950.

techking_dinesh · Jun 1, 2011

thnx a lot both of u
i wud like to wait for few more recommendations
plus do a lil research on monitor and gpu

Cilus · Jun 1, 2011

techking_dinesh, Jas is right here. Only highly overclocked and custom Cooled models of GTX 560 can match the performance of HD 6950 but with a sky high power consumption.
And i7 2600K is the ideal processor for your requirements, in fact best one. Due to its Hyper threading you will get 8 logical cores and will get significant performance boost in Multithreaded and multi tasking environment.

techking_dinesh · Jun 1, 2011

How about Sapphire 6970 2gb @Rs.21K ??
Is this jus a little better than MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II/OC or a significant improvement can be seen ?

Cilus · Jun 1, 2011

Sapphire HD 6970 is a beast of card and slightly better than the stock GTX 570. But I think it will overshoot your budget. To accommodate you have to get a cheaper i5 2500K. Then you will loose the HT and the multithreaded performance, although in gaming the performance difference is not that much.

Since you have maintained that you need good multi-threaded and multitasking capability along with high end gaming, i7 2600K + HD 6950 2 GB is a perfect balance between them...giving u bets of the both world.

techking_dinesh · Jun 1, 2011

Forget Gaming ( if a lil difference )
but 3d modelling , animation and stuff ?? what will be better for my need ?? if 6970 then will it have a significant difference ??

Moreover i m a lil worried for the monitor coz my current computer table can accomodate only 17" monitor , i will get it modified to accomodate anything width wise , but height wise it can accomodate 41cm only

I saw d dimensions on Benq official website

Benq 2420 HD
.. Well i saw 2 dimensions

CTN Dimensions (HxWxD mm) 482x636x133

Dimensions(HxWxD mm) 412.6x570x183.9

Well i guess CTN is cartoon (hope so) so the height will be 40.1 cm , i guess i am safe. Let me know if i am right
Plus is that height with Stand ??

Dell ST2420L .. ( Can i use this one ? Price ? )

Dimensions with stand (H x W x D)
418.24 mm (16.47 inches) x 574.94 mm (22.64 inches) x 203.68 mm(8.02 inches)
Dimensions without stand (H x W x D)
356.43mm (14.03 inches) x 574.96 mm (22.64 inches) x 59.72 mm (2.35 inches)
Preset Display Area (H X V)
531.36 mm (20.92 inches) x 298.89 mm (11.77 inches)

(My table can take in 42cm in height , but i left 1cm to avoid friction.. Depth is not at all a problem coz i m currently using CRT and width i will modify my table )

Both the Monitors Suggested by Jas & shayem are same in features only the screen size is 24" & 21.5" and a price rise of 4k for the bigger one.. hmm Will need to give it a think

Cilus · Jun 1, 2011

No, for rendering work as you've specified, you don't need a very high end graphics card. Even a HD 6870 will just do fine but the processor will play a significant and dominating role here. Core i7 2600K will offer you significant performance boost over core i5 2500K.

^ and my monitor query ?

If 14.3k, then 6950 2gb is a wonderful choice. But if op wants physx as extra, then he can go with 560 hawk. Performance is more or less the same for both cards.

The radeon cards have a lower minimum frames compared to nvidia cards i.e the frame rates drop a bit more in minimal levels. There is no difference between a 560ti and 6950 at fullhd. They almost perform the same on average. The cfx performance and performance beyond 1920x1080 is 6950's usp.

nilgtx260 · Jun 1, 2011

^^ both GTX 560 Ti & HD 6950 are almost same, the differences come (HD 6950 outperforms GTX 560 Ti) when they perform in large resolution like 2560x1600 or applying high image setting like full AA or AF.
