i wholeheartedly disagree.check my thread out,look at my CPU-Z banner link(*valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1800147).

thats over 130k worth goods without the case,monitor,PSU/WC parts etc

my whole system cost ~190k (only case and goodies inside + UPS)

@ jaskanwar
One suggestion though.We can give some dual cards as options. Gtx 590 is 42k and 6990 is 48k. What say ?

Msi R6990-4PD4GD5 Graphic Card

41.2k

Extreme Gamer said:
meh,for that much i'd rather get two 560 Ti's in SLI.

The rest is just brilliant tho

Also,an MSI rep told me that the GTX 580 Lightning (not "Lightening" btw) will officially cost 27500+ tax.

MSI N580GTX Lightning Graphics Card--Shipping Free

30k

about 85K confg :

How about removing the core i7 2600K and Glacialtech GP AX 950 AA - that's just too much power and the mobo is not so great for multi gpu setup but it's more suitable for single GPu setup - so a fast single GPU and a suitable PSU more makes more sense for this config.

Mu suggestion is for 85K config is :

Sub 85k (High end gaming)

Extreme Gamer · May 7, 2011

@JSingh:dude,that is tax inclusive price.did i not mention "official"?

thetechfreak · May 7, 2011

I would like the 130k pc to have crossfire/ SLI(try a little if possible

)

That said the PC that Jaskanwar has posted is awesome

@ Jaskanwar Singh - 85K config :

This is a gaming rig and in games when Oced 2500K performs neck to neck with 2600K but 2600K is more suitable for multitasking with it's HT feature and really good when there's a lot of multi tasking involved but for gaming under budget of 85k core i5 2500k is more suitable IMO.

Now GTX 580 is more powerful than GTX 570 and in a gaming rig the gfx card should be considers as the most important piece of HW component and every gamers wants to get the fastest gfx card they can afford - so GTX580 makes more sense instead of GTX570.

That glacialtech PSU is more suitable for multi gpu setup so a TX650W will do just fine with a GTX580.

For KB I think MS Sidewinder X4 is more suitable and the price is around ~1.5k

70k config look just perfect - no modification here though you can think about sidewinder X4 as the keyboard ;-)

i get your point about 2500k.
i also get your point about fastest single card. but i added a suitable mobo (post 265) + psu + case etc to make it futureproof for 6970 cfx or 570 sli. which will surpass 580 easily. what say?

and thanks for KB update.

looks nice. going to add it in 70k and 85k in place of comfort curve.

and 70k in post 265 or 257??

what you think of case in 70k? (post 265). i think its not that suitable for multi gpu setup? what say? shall check some lian li in 3-4.2k range?

Yes, you can IMO. In enthusiast sections, you can recommend Armorsuit PCP50R and in the high-end, mid range section you can put the K62. It comes with 4 pre-installed fans, 3 of them 140mm LED, and features completely tool-less installation, even for the motherboard; superb cable management; enough clearance to accommodate tall & bulky CPU coolers; can accommodate the longest GFX cards and also ready for 2.5" HDD/SSD installation (which requires screws though). Problems? If you are looking for water cooling, it won't take dual 120mm rads without modification. It will be a very good alternative to CM 690 series.

what about 580 SLI in future - if a user using a 580 now and wants to buy card for SLI later I think GTX 580 is more better in that aspect coz 580 price will come down a little bit in the future for sure anyway and 580 SLi will even put behind GTX 590 in performance ;-)

Post No. 265 70k config is perfect IMO.

BTW, how about this cabinet :
HAF 912 Advanced (Asia only) - Cooler Master - Leading Provider of Computer Case | Cooler | Power Supply

at 5.6k with loads of features and 2x 200mm and 1x 120mm with usb 3.0 IO panel it's a steal and far more better than 690 ;-)

Guys, last Saturday I was in M.D. Computer with Cool Comp. He was building his system over there. I have purchased a single 4 GB XMS3 1600 @ 2.4K +4% vat.

By the way, when I asked the shopkeeper about the price of HD 6950 2 GB, he said it was like 15.6K. Then he checked it in the system and guess what..........: Sapphire HD 6950 2 GB is available @ 14.5K. He said he can even arrange one for me @ 14.2K under some scheme.

So pricing is really sweet. Now Sapphire HD 6870 is available @ 11K

Where were you two months earlier?

On second thought, even 1gb is enough at this moment.

check out my price update in kolkata h/w price thread, I already updated the price of HD 6950 @ 14.2K on 30th APRIL (I guess)
