@ jaskanwar

I have a small suggestion mate. In the 70k and 85k rigs, the gpu's should be different and the 85k rig deserves a more powerful gpu.

We can put the same intel p67 mobo as in the 70k rig and squeeze in a gtx 570 from nvidia and 6970 from amd as options in the 85k rig. Asus GTX 570 Direct cu II/OC is a factory overclocked card and is available at 20.3k as confirmed by our forum member ithehappy. His friend had purchased one.

Now you can put a * mark at the bottom and recommend the asus P8P67 PRO board in case some buyer may want to extend his budget and go for it. You can also put he steel series headset in the same way.

really vicks! Direct cu at 20k! WOW. Then 6970 is a doubt. I dont think then it should be there. Will need to check reviews again now!

And i am planning to add that 560 from 70k to physics rigs. Its price is 1k more than 6950 1gb. What say?
 

vickybat

I am the night...I am...
^^ Yes the 6950 1gb is really sweetly priced and there is no denying that.

Like i said before keep the 69501gb in the main 70k rig and put a * mark below and mention the gtx 560 as an alternative.

The same thing can be done for the 85k rig. Put a * below and put the 6970 2gb as alternative. That will do imo.

Batman theres a prob. Direct cu is triple slot limiting future sli.

But u know i am doing some analysis on these green and red cards. Will notify.

Till then i will keep both these pairs and not alternates.

why ur cross 100 configs are filled with underdogs.i dont like the 130k confg at all. its for brandphilles not me.

such an enthusiast budget calls for enthusiast mobo , cut on 580 and add a better mobo
you could cut on the chassis with zebronics invader or antec df-35.

also 1000va ups have a limit of arnd 600w so make sure that the ups provides watts in the region of the psu i am not sure how will that ups provide upto the max of 850w.
iam sure the system is gonna edge towards 600w easily.

also whats the difference between hx850 and ax850 why havent you put ax 850 there.

in the 70k rig i would want a better cabinet than get razer peripherals.

and after all the ruccus over corsair tx series u should eithere mention tx850-c or tx850 v2 or just avoid tx series alltogether otherwise ppl may blame you that ur suggestion is not good enuf seasonic s12d and and m12d are few of the alternatives.

@jassy
well i agree with vicky to put * marks in the gfx section to provide both cards(AMD and NVIDIA)
it will solve many confusions and problems

You got my name right jas.:grin: For future sli, the buyer can opt for a double slot gtx 570 like msi and place it in the primary slot. Then the directcu can fit easily in the next slot because the cooler will be facing away froim the first card.

I think an atx board with good layout can handle this.

yaar itna gussa:-D

chassis will remain haf 932 yaar. people spending that much need some better large chassis. alse we need some parts readily available. cm is, antec not.

tell me how will a costly board help..already that board is good overclocker. performance across same chipset is same almost. so how? and that board has excellent peripherl performance.

so i cant compromise on 580 for a costly board..if it could fit any where else tell me..

asingh runs a 4890 xfire with q9550 @ 3.85ghz on apc 1000w afaik.

ax is costly..not fitting.

tell the better cabinet for 70k you want to be put up. i am ready to put it. 1-1.5k more dont matter.

prices of seasonic 850 or tx v2??
