vicky thats the lucid software only. :) i thought that chipset had this feature.
z68 is just p67 with support of onboard gfx. means it also supports ocing unlike h67. and support of ssd caching.

Ok but seeing the growing popularity of quicksync, intel might add switchable graphics in future chipsets like z68. It would be like an icing on the cake.

@ abhidev

Yes i agree. Z68 might give the op to use QUICKSYNC by utilizing onboard gpu for video transcoding and encoding apps. Its way faster than cuda and stream at the moment.

So waiting for that may prove worthwhile.

Really...the Quicksync will outperform even the encoding capability of 580?

I think you should choose your words more carefully, when under load, system will take about 650W, with no overclocking. Considering he probably will OC the full system, its gonna go up(~700W), and we are not safe there. I would get a CM Silent Gold 1000W PSU(around Rs13k) to be safe. An 850HX would do too, just not "easily" when OCed.

Benchies suggest so :)

I had chosen my words carefully rajan. He wasn't going for sli at all. Thats why i gave the op an option of corsair ax 1200 in case he does and its a terrific psu.

Yes thats true.

Ok buddy. I hope op knows what to do if he opts for a high end multigpu setup and plans to overclock them later.:)

such a gorgeous budget and not waiting for sandy bridge e? thats a let down.

well 2600k should serve you well.

i also vote for corsair ax 1200 or you could wait for seasonic x series but they are upto 850w

and such a budget deserves an antec lanboy chassis.

and one more thing there wont be too much gap bween z68 chipset and lga 2011 so if you wait then better get the extreme and enthusiast labeled sandy bridge processors.

@ aby geek: dude i have been waitin for the past 2-3 months. anyway as we know that nowadays the games are more GPU dependent than CPU dependent. the performance between a mid range processor and high end is very less considering the best example of 980x and 2600k. Infact in some applications the 2600k beats the 980x.

Guys talking about PSU will the hx 850 not be future proof. If so please tell me the prices of:

1. Corsair HX 1000
2. Corsair AX 1200

@ msaiashwin

Buddy you can owe that to sandybridge architecture which is superior to nehalem. Thats why 2600k is able to beat 980x in some benchmarks.

About the psu prices, check below:


1. Corsair HX 1000 @ 14k

2. Corsair AX 1200 @18.5k

Check this

^^techshop prices are quiet high i think np prices will hover in excess of 16k.
i think itwares has lowest prices. though do check it depot they have won digit web award this time.

by the way tagan bz 1100 and 1300 are really solid products ,any feedback and prices anyone can give?

@msaiashwin 980x is passe :D enjoy 2600k but ijust meant to say that right now it looks as if z68 chipset and fclga 2011 will have nearby launch dates.so if you were thinking about waiting for z68 then you could hold on a lil more.

but if you are not waiting for z68 then obviously you should go ahead with 2600k and p67

btw what do you think about sandybridge gaming notebooks? if your budget gets you something droolwrthy will you buy that?
