I have a question.
Let's say the UPS has 4 battery powered outlets and I want to plug in 5 devices in it. Is it possible to plug CPU, Monitor, Speakers in three individual outlets and router + modem in the last one using a splitter or something? What if only 3 battery powered outlets are provided.. Can I plug in CPU, Monitor in 2 individual sockets and plug in an extension board in the 3rd socket which in turn will power router+modem+speakers?

I know the post is long and confusing but please bear with me :p

you can till the UPS battery FAILS to give output during power cut. Go for a trail & error method. you can see the battery load through the given software of APC.

ur 2nd option with 3 batt outlets :

CPU 1 PLUG , MONITOR 1 PLUG.
3RD PLUG: router+modem+monitor?
Why again monitor?

- this is the best possible solution but why not get modem come router an save one one output connector.

BTW, running speaker + Router + Modem from the same UPS connector ( battery backup ) is not recommended - if you get a UPS with 3 battery powered backup connector run only the cpu+monitor and router+modem using splitter from it and connect the spekare on non battery powered connector.

Okay so 1 thing is clear. I have to get a UPS with at least 4 battery powered outlets.
About the Modem+Router thing I will have to think..
Thanks.. now I'll look at 4-battery powered UPS..

According to the APC website the 1kva UPS gives 600W of power. Is that enough? My SMPS itself is 620W.. excluding other peripherals. I'm confused. I don't know much about power..

600W is more than enough - even if you OC the cpu+gpu and use the monitor with the UPS the power consumption won't go above 350W.

Component | Make | Price Processor |Intel Core i5-2500k| Rs. 12,970.00
Motherboard |GIGABYTE GA-zZ7x-ud5h-wb wifi |Rs. 16,500.00
Graphics Card |Gigabyte/Sapphire HD 7870 |Rs. 23,000.00
Optical Drive |Asus DRW-24B5ST |Rs. 1,148.00

Cabinet |Corsair Carbide 400R MidTower Case| Rs. 5,000.00

The budget is okay-ed by my dad finally :p

Now i have a few questions. Hope you go through them thoroughly and help me as much as you can. So here goes... :)

1) I wanna get the major components(CPU, Motherboard, CPU Cooler, PSU, RAM, Cabinet) from one shop itself because it'll be good to test all of these together and return/repair as required.

2) Looking to buy the above mentioned main components offline and locally. Next preference is Mumbai. Can you tell me any shops in Pune and/or Mumbai which can sell me all of those at good prices?

3) Is ASUS DVD Drive really worth paying 200 bucks more than LG DVD Drive?
I personally feel LG is no less better.

4) Should I ask separate bills for every item?

5) Should I insist that the date of manufacture for every item be 2012 ?because I heard that the warranty is counted from the day of manufacture

6) Do I get discount if payed by cash?

Note.
Gonna buy the UPS from authorised Pune dealer, Cabinet fans and Optical drive I'll find/buy on my own so I'm ok with these two :)

What are the warranties on the following? I can't find any info.
CPU, Motherboard, CPU Cooler, PSU, Cabinet.

1. get it from one place or multiple shops - it won't make a difference but the difference you may notice is in pricing of components .

2. for a mubai base shop look here : TheITwares Ecommerce

3. Every DVD drive is fine - just make sure you read a couple of review matching the exact model name/no.

4. a single bill would be fine.

5. depends on warranty policy of manufacturer and the product - except HDD every component's warranty period starts from the original date of purchase.

6. Test your barter skill ;-)

CPU, Motherboard : 3 yrs.
PSU : 5 yrs.
CPU Cooler : 1 yr.
Cabinet : 2 yrs.

Thank you for your prompt response :)

I'm gonna ask around in Pune today for the components. Mumbai is the last resort..
I should find the major components here I think.. Keeping my fingers crossed :eek:

About the DVD Drive I will see if I can get the ASUS one at 1k or else I'll go for LG.

The reason for being against buying online/Mumbai is that I don't want to waste time and resources returning products when they don't work..

UPDATE: So looks like I'm gonna have to make a one day Mumbai trip after all :p
I need names of the shops on lamington road.. As of now I heard of only Prime abgb and E-lounge. Any more on lamington road?

Good Config go for it post pics soon:p

Sure Will!

Good price on the cooler right? Normally I wouldn't go for flipkart but since I saw it for lesser than 2.5k(which is the avg price) I went for it!
Expected date of delivery is July 1st.

Anyone got free Flipkart discount coupons for me? : D

laborare est orare
regarding Cooler, spend a little extra and get the Deepcool Frostwin from TheItwares at around 2.6K. Flipkart is little overpriced for it. This is better than Hyper 212 EVO.

^Already ordered CM :p
Anyway I'll be happy with the CM man. No sweat :D

Searching desperately for distributors in Pune :wah:

Hey guys I need an urgent reply on this so please spare some time.

I contacted golchha banglore and they have really low prices!
Now what I'm thinking is I should ask my sister who's there to get me the boxed components(she's coming to pune in like 3 days). Let's say I open the components in Pune and find defects/problems. Can I go to the service centres/dealers of the respective products in Pune and NOT banglore(where the components will have been bought orignally) and get service/RMA just on the bill?

Also how good is golccha? Does it have a good reputation?

This is the quotation I got from them. Looks very good.

Intel Core i5-2500k RS 12000
G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL RS 3000
Seasonic S12II-620Bronze RS 4500
Corsair Carbide 400R RS 4000
DRW-24B3ST Internal Optical Drive (Black) RS 1000
ASUS p8Z77-v and ASUS p8z77-v PRO. RS 15000/16000
GIGABYTE GV-R787OC-2GD RS 20000
