80k for a non overclocking rig? Anyways, here's my suggestion

Component Make Price
CPU Intel Core i7-2600 Processor 16790
Motherboard ASUS P8H67-V 7490
RAM 2 x G.Skill NT DDR3 4 GB 2580
GPU Radeon HD 6950 2 GB 16500
HDD Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 5200
Optical Drive Asus DRW-24B3ST 1112
Case Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced 5300
PSU Seasonic S12II-620 3770
Monitor Benq G222HDL 7400
Keyboard Razer Arctosa 2260
Mouse Razer Death Adder 2250
Mousepad Razer Goliathus - Fragged Alpha 890
Speakers Edifier M3500 4050
UPS APC 800VA 2800
TOTAL 78392

IMO you should advice your friend to go for a 2500k based rig. I really wasted a lot of money on KB, mouse etc to make it cross 75k. If you save that bucks and invest it on the core of the rig, it would make a future-proof (to some extent) killer rig. So OC'ing or not?

Dude,No use making him understand..I tried he just cant understand his dad earns millions thats all he says.Blah blah.
Well Make all the keyboard all normal.

80K for desktop? why does he wanna spend so much for PC?

How about 40 to 50K now in Intel Core i5 build. Then spend another 40 to 50K on a new architecture after 3 yrs i.e Successor to Haswell in 2015. That would no doubt easily outperform anything in Sandybridge/Ivy bridge could offer. That way he can future proof with the same 80K budget.

Dude,No use making him understand..I tried he just cant understand his dad earns millions thats all he says.Blah blah.

there are other things to spend on, may be a big screen tv/monitor, home theatre etc to further enhance the gaming/multimedia experience.

what is he actually intending to do with this 80K desktop. i mean what special things does he expect compared to normal everyday pc's.

 

[theserpent]

^^ I told him Spending 80k is to much.He wont listen.

 

[bhushan2k]

then donate that money to me..

i have i5-2500 proccy..all games running smoothly..don't waste money on i7 unless n until he plans for extreme overclocking. then only i7 extreme cpus come into picture as far as i have seen benchmarks..

 

[theserpent]

^^ First he was behind an 90k alienware,He ordered and got it cancled 3 months back,
then an Dell xps of 75k.Now this.
He will Be playing games Like Total War Series,Assassins creed,And maybe Skyrim if he gets it

 

[pkkumarcool]

[theserpent]

[pkkumarcool]

Guys now he says Alienware X51

why don't you show him Apple Ipad 3, it seems to have gr8 GPU. may be you can convince him to buy it. Its a kool device to showoff to everyone in his college. He definitely cannot carry alienware everywhere he goes.
apple products are so perfect for rich loaded people to waste their money. its definitely a status symbol in India.

 

[theserpent]

Dude first of all dont suggest things like Ipad 3 Etc.Suggest what is asked(Sorry).But good knows he to rich,He just likes wasting money.So hes getting this 80k

i was kiddin dont take it otherwise. its just that there are so many different configs possible, Instead of Core i7, may be he can try for Core i5 & Dual GPU or even high end card like HD 6970. He can go for bigger monitor or more powerful speakers to enhance overall experience or high end gaming headphones. what is really expecting 80K PC to do? what special things which a 40 or 50K PC cannot do?

for example, if i had 80K for PC gaming, i would spend most on GPU, prolly get HD 6970, Large Monitor, Powerful Speakers/gaming head phones, decent gaming input devices. rest of cofig will be normal- Core i5, H67 Chipset, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD. I would want my perfect gaming config to provide value for money, future proof, and enhance my visual, audio experience as much as possible.

Core i5 is that kind of VFM Gaming processor. Core i5 2500K + GPU like HD 6970/ GTX 570/HD 7870
will be amazing.
Rest of the money can go to monitor, speakers, input devices, headphone etc, or save some for gaming titles. He also spend more on storage, get an SSD+HDD which will enhance the performance.

 

[macho84]

I would suggest these spec.

CPU:INTEL I7 2700K----------20k
MB:ASUS X79 SERIES GEN 3---20k
RAM:16GB DDR3 2300 Mhz-----10k
PSU:GLACIALTECH 950 WATTS OR CORSAIR 1KVA--10k
GPU:HD 7970---36k
HDD:120GB SATA CORSAIR FORCE 3---10k
MONITOR: 24 INCH LED LG or Samsung---10k
Keyboard & Mouse: Razer for extreme gaming----6k. If casual Logitech should be fine.
UPS: If available Home UPS should be suffice. -20k

Pricing would be cross 1lakh. If ready to build a good pc then there is no limit. People who is budget consious then please dont discourage the buyers. Its the end user who decides on the costing he can invest not us. If he is fine investing a bit future proof. It should be fine.
