11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:hello forum members.i am planning to setup a new gaming pc.as i have already stated its meant only for super long hours of gaming.i have somewhat decided what to buy after doing an extensive amount of research from the net,i am willing to spend around 80k for my pc.this is what i have i have decided, intel i5 2500k, asus maximus iv gene z, corsair vengeance 4gb ddr3 ram, corsair h80 liquid cooler, corsair psu 600 watts, evga gt560 ti graphics card and the rest are not that important.i want your suggestions on the few following matters- first of all i cant decide which motherboard to go for,i can easily buy asus sabertooth z77 or asus maximus v gene z but it seems based on the reviews and performance score and various benchmarking tests that the asus iv gene z is better.the asus sabertooth z77 has a thermal armour and various other features including digi+ or something helps in sending perfect amount of voltage to the different components of the motherboard,i cant find out if the asus maximus iv gene z has it or not.even the maximus v has it.also the maximus v and z77 has pcie 3.0 slots which is not present in maximus iv.please suggest which one i should buy.
next is i cant decide which cabinet to buy.i was thinking of buying the nzxt vulcan but then i shifted my thought to corsair carbide 400r,the latter is a good cabinet but i didnt like the looks that much.given the push and pull air convention is pretty decent if the fans are setup properly in the corsair carbide.the vulcan can only support m-atx motherboards so i though of not going for it in case i wanted to go for a motherboard upgrade.can you please suggest me a different case with awesome cooling performance wire management and various other cool features and uber cool looks but my budget is within 5000 when it comes to the cabinet.
lastly its not that important though,should i go for amd fx 8120 instead of i5 2500k? will the performance be worth it?i am looking for absolutely the best performance when it comes to both gaming and also file transfer and watching hd movies.which one is better as the both are somewhat close to the same price range and i am not planning to go for i7.want to stick to i5.please help me as i am in a big mess.

thanx to everyone even the dude 1manshow who hijacked the thread,ha ha.well i checked out the charts in various sites from a link provided by ico and found the 7870 to be performing truly better than even what you people have said.i am gonna buy it.by the way also want to know why you guys are suggesting asrock mobo? is it cool guys? and the dudes who suggested the benQ monitor,is samsung sync,master better than benQ?if not please tell me y.it would sort of help me to cut a little down on my budget.
