Great Job. For the 50k config, do you think Elite 311 is still worth the money? It has no front USB 3.0 ports but other cases do have at least one at that price.

Suggest some alternative

I don't know that much about cases/cabinets, that's why I asked you.

I saw Elite 344 for the same price but the PSU placement is on top. Even Antec VSK4000B-U3 has PSU placement on top. Does PSU placement has anything to do with cable management/airflow?

344 is fine but it only supports Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX mobotherboards while the board 970A-G43 mentioned in that config is an ATZ board (much larger than what cabinet can contain). One can always buy addon USB 3 ports which are available for ~800-1200 bucks.

I wasn't suggesting them.

I was just asking what difference does PSU placement (on top in some cases and bottom in others) makes with respect to airflow and cable management. I hope I am clear now

Doesn't make much difference if you aren't planning on installing liquid cooling (as it would cause spacing issues with radiator). Cable management is good in both. Hell, I have better cable management in my 1000 bucks zebronics crap cabinet than most <4k cabinets

Asus is better IMO.. Service depends on place you live.. As far as i know Asus has good service..

You can check online retailers.

I'd say don't buy things of luxury on EMI.

ok even i was thinking of asus , just not sure since zotac had more ratings on flipkart

[froyo121]

So are you saying that The Intel processor G3320 will be fine with GTX 750 TI or R7260 ??? because GTX 760 is out of my budget so what do you think about GTX 750 or R7 260 with Intel G3220???

Yes in that resolution it will run fine but I dont think G3320 is supported.

G3320 Is not supported means in what way its not supported??

[harshilsharma63]

Prefer i3 but if you can't, G3220 will be the best you could get.

I would NOT go for that CPU based on - Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition review • Eurogamer.net - "Manage your expectations, choose your kit well, accept some compromises and this processor will serve you well even on the most demanding titles. Just be prepared to accept that the G3258 is based around a processing concept that many game-makers have left behind, and that if you're looking to run the latest and greatest titles at high frame-rates, there's the possibility that you could find yourself upgrading sooner rather than later."
