Uh, stop trolling lol.

Try playing surround with 3x 65" tvs. Good luck keeping your head straight lol. 4 or 6 screens will result in central bifurcation.

Thats no troll, I have a friend with a 55 inch lcd to game on, Its samsung 3d LED TV it is much much better any Monitor out there. With that, he has a onkoyo surround system, its just very good for gaming or movies. All in a room nicely setup with couches and bean bags just for gaming, with ps3, xbox and wii, all three, lots of wireless contorllers. I played this 3d game once, it was the best fps shooter, coz of the 3d, it really worked.

^^ Was it killzone 3?

Most probably is. A console set up like that seems like a "kings gaming room"
BTW my friend has a projector to game on. Everything more awesome save the 3D effect.

But all this is for console gaming. Even a 32" monitor will be too huge for close viewing for a Desktop.

yes that was the game, played with the move controllers! The nuke explosions were brilliant.
the big screen with all those vivid colors made the difference, you don't sit too close of course.

^ Don't get confused. I am talking about PC gaming, which is usually done up close.
So a discussion about console gaming and set ups would feel out of place in this thread.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

Jas, need a small update in the 3D gaming rig, in the GPU price. Now the Zotac 560 2 GB GDDR5 is available @ 12.1K + Vat in Lynx-india. Check it here.
Even with adding tax, the price will be 12.7K

So I gusess, there will be 1K price drop in GPU price. For the single GPU solution, check for Palit GTX 580 3GB @ 29.2K in HERE.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

^^ you have transformed it into a gaming rig rather than a HTPC which should capable of decoding HD movies very well and at the same time not so much power consuming device :

Here's my suggestion for a HTPC build ;-)

AMD Athlon II X2 255 @ 2.9k
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4k
G-skill F3-10600CL9S-4GBNT@ 1.1k
Asus BW-12B1LT @ 7.4k
FSP Saga II 500W @ 2k
Silverstone GD04 HTPC Cabinet @ 5.2k
BenQ G2420HD @ 10k
Logitech MK320 @ 1.4k
Logitech Z-506 @ 5k
APC 600VA UPS @ 1.8k

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

Guys, Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4k is not available anywhere neither locally nor online, as lot of users faced the same non-availability issue. So possible then find out an alternative.

Searched, but can't find any alternative at that price (range). May be non-existent. :unsure:

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

Features wise, its fine but not with the price. The price at which these both motherboard falls, will change the whole budget itself. Anything from MSI or Biostar.

but TP why monitor? i think we should add a TV? or both of them and leave choice on user. for monitor i think dell ultrasharp u2311h will do better.

and i thought to make the rig a little all rounder. x4 635 is not that power hungry and just 1.1k more. and with gpu a person can do casual gaming as well. what say? 6670 is also not power hungry.

digit mentioned it 3.9k. may it be available at lamington road.
or we can mail smc and ask them?
