^^that gfx u suggested is way too expensive man. i'll rather go for msi gtx 560ti hawk or msi r6950 twin frozr iii power edition? arent they good for 3d and less expensive??
THAT LIAN CASE, I WONT GET IN KOLKATA...
SO THIS WILL B FINE I GUESS??? NO.. I M STILL CONFUSED...


Processor - Intel Core i5 2500k
Motherboard - MSI Z68A-GD55(B3) OR Intel DH67BL-B3(IS IT POWERFUL ENOUGH??)
RAM - CORSAIR 1333Mhz 4GB
Graphic Card - msi gtx 560ti hawk or msi r6950 twin frozr iii power edition
HDD - SEAGATE 1TB
CABINET - CM 690 II Advance
PSU - Corsair TX750 OR TX850
DVD WRITER - LG 22X SATA DVD

remember these 3 lines and not get confused further -

A 'K' PROCESSOR LIKE 2500'K' SHOULD BE PAIRED WITH Z68 OR P67 BOARD AND NOT WITH H67 OR H61

YOU NEED AN NVIDIA CARD FOR NVIDIA 3D VISION.

AND A CARD WITH MORE VRAM WILL GIVE MORE DEPTH IN 3D GAMING.

now a 580 3gb is a monster man. why worry when you can get it in your budget. dont restrict yourselves if you want to truly enjoy.

and you can get lian li cabby from order from MD Computers i think. let cilus confirm it.


@OP: msi gtx 560ti hawk is good for 3d rendering, but not as good as gtx 580. But if you think price of graphics card is too high then you can go with 560ti. (my suggestion, avoid ati cards for 3d rendering, as they are not as good as nvidia cards in the field of 3d)

op here is talking of 3d gaming.

@mahatma
one more thing if not 580 3gb then get 2 zotac 560 2gb in sli for 24k.

Get Asus or gigabyte board instead of MSI....
.
whats the problem with msi?

thanx heartrippple. I got ur point but y asus or gigabyte instead of msi?

@jassi, I hav thoroughly learnt ur points sir. Will never forget ever.. So wats da diff btwn p67 and z68? And wich is better to combine with da proccy and of wat make (brand)?

Isnt coolermaster 690ii cabinet nice? I want an impressive cabinet to flaunt..

1 more thing, pls keep in mind that while suggesting the mobo, also let me know wich inbuilt gfx does it hav?

And i think i'll drop the idea of 3d for now. Will go for a single nvidia card nd later as u said wil get another to sli. Cos i've to buy a monitor and a printer too, which will cost around 15k extra. So m saving money here. A 3d kit wil only add to additional charges..

Pls make a final config so dat i can make my mind finally.

Ha. So many ques. Sorry buddy but m a bit too much concerned abt my pc.

Three of my friend bought the MSI intel based boards....all wnet for replacement...One of them never used the motherboard...after 6 months of delivery he just tried that board..and found it dead....


That is why I dont like MSI for their motherboards.....


Asus P8Z68-V *in.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8Z68V/#specifications

First of all, as a geek you should try to understand the reasons of failure & then blame the build quality. Who knows, but a bad PSU is the main reason or surge or even the UPS. If none of the same can be identified then, we can ask questions on its build quality.

A Complete personal comment or preference.

Asus P8Z68-V ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS P8Z68-V

In Kolkata, most of the people never prefer to buy Asus Products, not just because they lack of Quality or performance.

The After Market Service in india for Asus is provided by Rashi peripherals & they sucks when you need them the most.

That's the reason Jassi has earlier suggested to buy Gigabyte/MSI. Just imagine after purchasing a Asus Mobo & you found some faults then these Rashi peri... will put your life in Hell. Atleast MSI, they accept your RMA request & process it properly, but that's not the case with Asus & Rashi.

@Mahatma: Go for Z68 Mobo [MSI Z68A-GD55(B3)] & get a 560ti for now & then later when budget permits get another same 560ti with 3D Vision Kit. But make sure your Monitor does support 3d & buy it as per your requirements.

exactly.. i m also thinking of this only...

but about the mobo, the engineer from whom i'll be buying the stuff and getting it assembled, he has contacts wid all the brands, and its his headache if anything goes wrong with my system... he will hav to find a solution. so i'm safe in that matter. thing is, which is powerful and a better performer??

^^ No doubt asus P8Z68-V is packed with good stuff, but only the service is huge concern in Kolkata, as mentioned earlier.

MSI Z68A-GD55 also offer good stuffs @ that price & MSI Z68A-GD55 is a Complete VFM IMO.

^^for the monitor, shud i go for the 1 u r using for 3d purpose? alienware optX aw2210. wats the price of it? or for non 3d i've thot of

Alienware has two LCD monitor model currently lined up in india.

1). OptX Aw2210 - 21.5 inch full HD @ 15k
2). OptX AW2310 - 23inch full HD & 3d Gaming @ 23k

Verify the prices at your nearest local Dell Dealers & check this video for Unboxing & Accessories.

[Youtube]KAwBO8IQF6o[/Youtube]

The one which i use is non 3d i.e AW2210.

The most cheapest 3D Monitor available currently may be LG 23"SuperSlim Monitor- Model D2342P @ 16k with Lynx-India.

I can't recommend a Asus 3D Monitor as you are in Kolkata, instead os Asus get Alienware. Dell has some awesome service worldwide & in india too.

Even you can order Benq XL2410T from SMC international @ 23k.

From Samsung we can get SyncMaster S27A950D 3D Monitor, not sure of the availability & price in india.

Check this video too.

Point No 1......

all of them was using Sea Sonic SMPS don't remember the exact model no.....UPS was APC 1.1 KVA


Point no 2.....

Completely agree its a personal thinking only......


Point No 3..........

Worst thing about Asus products because of RPTech in India.....Asus should look into these matter and solve these problems....

And 1 more thing in high end motherboards .....there is no match to Asus....

LG monitors should be avoided for their low build quality.

Ha. So many ques. Sorry buddy but m a bit too much concerned abt my pc.

z68 supports both onboard graphics and overclocking while p67 supports only oc. there are some other features in z68 like ssd caching, lucid virtu support.
that msi board with 2500k as i said.

yeah cm 690 II advance is nice. another option - cm haf 912 advance at almost same price.

intel latest processors have built in graphics. the mobo just enables them or disables them. h61, h67, z68 enable them if you dont have discreet card installed. but these onboard graphics are good only for movies. forget gaming.

do get a 3d monitor like d3p5kor mentioned alienware etc.

get this -
Component | Make | Price Processor |Intel Core i5 2500k|10500
Motherboard |MSI Z68A-GD55(B3)|8700
RAM |Gskill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL|1600
Graphic Card |Zotac GTX560 2GB|12000
HDD |Seagate 1TB 7200.12|2700
DVD Writer |LG 22X SATA DVD|900
PSU |Corsair TX850 V2|6800
Case |NZXT Tempest EVO|5500
| Total |48700

rest on 3d monitor etc.
you can buy 3d glasses later when you sli. but by when will you sli?

and another nice looking cabby - NZXT Tempest EVO @ 5.5k~

that samsung one is awesome d3p5kor
