Suggestions for my new gaming rig

[nipunb]

I posted a thread here about the suggested configuration for my gaming rig but no one replied....
oh well, I researched a bit myself and ended up with this configuration, any suggestions for a better alternative will be appreciated....

Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10) - Flipkart Link

ASUS M5A88-M Motherboard - Flipkart Link

Intel 3.5 GHz FCLGA1155 Core i7 3770K Processor - Flipkart Link

Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 2 GB DDR5 Graphics Card - Flipkart Link

WD Caviar Green 2 TB HDD Internal Hard Drive (WD20EARX) - Flipkart Link

Asus DRW-24B5ST Internal Optical Drive - Flipkart Link

Cooler Master Enforcer Mid Tower Cabinet - Flipkart Link

Corsair CMPSU-600GUK 600 Watts PSU - Flipkart Link

Any suggestions, without increasing the price too much???

You've chosen an AMD Motherboard with an Intel Processor. They aren't compatible with each other. Please fill up the questions in *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-compon...new-pc-help-answer-these-questions-first.html and post it here.

I would recommend you to buy the mintor right now or please mention the resolution of the one you have.
If you are interested in buying the monitor later on, then dont buy the GPU right now otherwise it will be a waste of money.
Soon the Nvidia's GeForce GTX 660Ti will launch and it will be around the same price as that of the Radeon HD 7870 and
will give perfomance much similar to the GTX 670. So I will suggest you to wait and make the correct move.

Intel Core i5 2500k: 12.5k(more than enough for gaming)
ASRock Z77 Extreme6: 13.5k
GSkill RipjawsX 4GB*2 DDR3 1600MHz: 3k
WD Caviar Green 2TB: 6.7k
ASUS 24x SATA DVD writer: 1.1k
Corsair GS600: 4.7k
NZXT Lexa S: 4k
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO: 2.1k
BenQ G2420HD: 10k
Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 OC: 22k
Total: 79.6k

Otherwise you can consider this configuration.

+1 but i wouldnt agree with the price of that 2500k
i got mine way bay (non k ) on launch day from nehru place for 10.2K
so now it should be cheaper
also why dont you consider getting the i5 3450 (11k )?

Better buy a LED monitor with HDMI port @ DELL ST2220L at Rs. 9k
And,please don't buy Western Digital caviar green HDD,better buy Seagate HDD,Don't worry about the warranty period of HDD,because it's more reliable than WD HDD.

BTW, Don't waste your money buying 2 TB hard disks better get a Seagate 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD @Rs. 5.2k and +buy an OCZ Petrol 64 SSD @ 4.2k and also change your motherboard and get an ASUS P8Z77-M Motherboard ( SLI board) @10k, better performer than ASRock You will get best performance with this balanced rig.

I got a 21.5 inch LCD monitor at cheap price, which is pretty good....
so what should I do???
will this configuration work with that???

about the HDD, I don't really care what brand it is or whats the warranty period or whats the price, I just want reliability, I just don't want any of my data to be lost....
I never had any kind of HDD crash or data loss on my previous pc and laptop and I expect my new pc to be the same....
I preferred WD coz I bought a 2TB WD external hard drive last month and its working fine at least until now, but I can go for Seagate too, just getting some suggestions to help me decide....

 

[Arnab]

I have been using Seagate HDD for around 10 years and its still the same,whereas my brother has one 1 TB hdd of WD which got crashed one time and malfunctioned once more,so from the point of reliability I would personally preferred Seagate.
Now, thousands of people using WD HDD so it's up to you on which you will board on.
