by the way the BEAST looks AWESOME man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hope u hav a rockin time playin games on that BEAST

Hey buddy,

this Beast costed me Rs. 28K and me and one of my online friend (from Digit) but lives in Hyd'bad, we both surveyed almost many shops (Me doin survey here In Mumbai) and he did it in B'lore, Hyd'bad and calling up various shops across India..We were quoted many prices from Rs. 28K upto Rs. 31K and sum shops didnt had this card but were jus giving assurances on a 7-14day waiting period,

So, both of us bought from Arun Computers, Hyd'bad in a sure shot price tag and the guarantee of its delivery to us and NOT jus fake assurances or waiting periods...

I deposited the Amount to Arun Computers Axix Bank account and he (My digit online friend) deposited cash-in-hand as he was a local and I Received it in full protective packing from them within 4days..

CHeers n e-peace....

Well at the moment i am just nt decided wether to use gtx280 as physX card or no,lol

Coz not many games hv support4physX n infct many games hv their own physics engine that clearly outperforms the just-starting-2-begin physX

Ws planning2sell off my gtx280 ssc (as its a gr8 card coz its super super clocked=SSC) its way above normal core clock speeds so if i get a good price (as still 1year warranty left till march-2012) i might sell it,if no buyers then i am as it very happy2keep it

can somebody tell the warranty on Glacialtech GP AX 950 AA?

vickybat · Apr 22, 2011

^^ Nice rigs but i have some suggetions. In the 50k rig, we can remove the h67 board with the msi-h61 e23@ 3.6k. With the money saved, we can add the msi gtx 560 twin frozr II @ 14.5k instead. We all know that its more powerful than a single 6870 and all the members here in tdf who bought it are very happy with it. So worth a mention imo.

Since we have a 6950 2gb in the 60 and 70k rigs, we can skip the 1gb version from the 50k rig or maybe give it as an option.

Btw 6950 2gb is 16.5k with taxes afaik.

Glacialpower 950 has 3 years warranty. PM lordirecto to confirm cause he has this psu.

Jaskanwar Singh · Apr 22, 2011

batman ok.

on 6950 price -
MSI R 6950 2PM2D2GD5 Graphics Card

i wont compromise on mobo but will surely add gtx560 and 6950 1gb

vickybat · Apr 22, 2011

^ Wow the prices have dropped. Good to know but isn't that the reference design with side fan? That is why they are cheap.

About mobo, h61 prices are mouth watering. See the user won't go over 8gb for now, so h61 will suffice.

About intel boards, their rma service is pathetic as far my place is concerned. Waiting for my kaput board for over a month.

Jaskanwar Singh · Apr 22, 2011

batman i feel pairing a 10k proccy with 3.5k board isnt good.
bit hesitant. but what you say?

but yes intel rma takes too long.

vickybat · Apr 22, 2011

^^ I am planning for a similar system for my own if i manage to sell of my i5 750 + p55mobo+ ram at a decent price.

Its actually great if you can live with no more than 8gigs of ram.

Jaskanwar Singh · Apr 22, 2011

why so vicky? i think you should first change gpu as 750 i5 is still a monster.

why not add it like this only. just 2k more -

vickybat · Apr 22, 2011

^^Told you the reason for avoiding vanilla intel. But the boards are very good. Mine got fried due to voltage problems in our house.

See buddy, i will be moving out soon and my 13 year old brother will handle the rig. Now i5 2400 is more efficient , low on power and i will be like making the system more future proof ( it supports even ivybridge).

For the gpu, it is more than enough for him. Will upgrade to something substantial ( southern islands or kepler) in future.

vindance1 · Apr 23, 2011

Hi friends,

Getting the following system from SMCInternational:

Intel Core i5 Sandy Bridge 2400 CPU @Rs.9700
Cooler Master Elite 430 NormalRC-430K-KKN3 @Rs.2475
Seagate 500 GB SATA Desktop 3.5" Internal HDD @Rs.1750
Razer Goliathus-Fragged Standard Mouse Pad-Control (Size: Alpha) @Rs650
Benq G2420 Monitor @Rs.10900
Logitech MX 518 Optical Gaming Mouse @Rs.1360
Gskill[ Ripjaws ] DDR3-1333(PC3 10666)(4Gx1) * 2 @Rs.4500

Confused about the following components:

MB (only available options):
Intel® Desktop Board DH67BL @Rs.5,600.00, or
Gigabyte GA-H67M-D2-B3 (rev. 1.1) Socket 1155 @Rs.5500

PSU (only available options):
Corsair Power CX400W @Rs.2800, or
Corsair Power 650TX @Rs.6500

GPU (will decide between these 2 only):
MSI R6850 PM2D1GD5 Graphics Card @Rs.9900, or
MSI R 6950 2PM2D2GD5 Graphics Card @Rs.15600
<I am not that much into gaming (play only RTS) but I want to opt for one which is offering better value for money. I dont have any plans of crossfiring or upgrading in near future or maybe ever. I wont be adding any cooling devices for sure, so kindly keep temp into account while suggesting>

@Jas - Thanks a lot for your suggestions buddy.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cilus · Apr 24, 2011

Jas, in a 100K config I think we need to have 2600K as it offers superb performance in other multithreaded applications apart from gaming due to HT. can't we accommodate it by going a little cheap speaker, mouse, mouse pad and keyboard and a little cheap display.

topgear · Apr 24, 2011

^^ all of the coponents are so much balanecd it's hard to remove any of'em ;-)

Intel Core i7 2600k @ ~16.5k

by going with 2600K the cost will increase ~5.5k

Now if we add this mobo Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-B3 Rs @9.5K and remove the sound card we can save 6.2K which will reduce the cost by 0.7K - sound card an be purchased any time later and these types of mobo comes with good sound quality anyway.

MegaMind · Apr 24, 2011

^^TOPGEAR its i7 2600K :wink:

Jaskanwar Singh · Apr 24, 2011

as you say TP and Cilus. will do away with sound card and add a 2600k.

but what about ssd or gtx580 twin frozr II??
and what about other configs?

TP about the mobo i wanted to make it sli futureproof if gtx580.

vickybat · Apr 24, 2011

^^ Try some sli/cf p67 boards with the nf200 chip. Ideal for a multigpu setup. Only if the boards are not uber expensive.

Jaskanwar Singh · Apr 24, 2011

and check out the poll everyone.

vicky ok i will just check them out.
